What are the odds that Google gives me a refund for that watch band I bought? I managed to get it off the watch but I literally had to pry it off. Thankfully the watch was undamaged so I was able to put a different band on and have it seat properly. Throughout this process I have become pretty proficient with putting these on and taking them off so I know I wasn't just doing something wrong, it was wedged in there without anything ever "clicking" and the was no amount of back and forth wiggling I could do to get it to fully seat in there. So it's off now and I have the standard band back on but I kinda hate this band but the woven one was $50 :-\ Edit: guh, looks like I can only return stuff to them undamaged. Well that sucks. edit 2: oh I got someone in support and looks like they're setting me up with a return. explosivo fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Apr 12, 2025 |

v1ld posted:I discovered soon after my last post that Always On Display had been enabled on my watch. I never enabled it myself and I had explicitly disabled it before so I'm guessing it was enabled as a byproduct of the 5.1 update. I only went looking because there was this weird elliptical ring around the time display that would disappear soon after I tilted to wake which then made me realize the display was always on when I tilted to wake. This morning I noticed the elliptical ring around the time display I mentioned above and sure enough Always On Display has been magically auto enabled again. I think it's the new Modes wrapper for Do Not Disturb they added in the latest Android release and which mirrors to the watch in WearOS 5.1. I tweaked my Modes settings last night (because of how they split the old DND schedule stuff across 2 modes) and that could be the proximate cause of AOD auto enabling this morning. I'm guessing here, of course. But the first enablement was around when Modes was introduced and created a new Sleeping mode to mirror my old DND schedule. The second was right after I configured the new Bedtime mode and disabled Sleeping. Who knows, I just wish they would never auto enable AOD! Didn't have a single UI freeze with AOD off.

how does the Fitbit app still not have a dark mode also is anyone else with a Pixel Watch 3 having issues with tilt to wake not working during an activity? it's extremely annoying, I have to tap the screen to see my heart rate, etc

I think it's a really really good smartwatch but I have not tested its activity chops at all.

It's a really nice piece of hardware, the most premium feeling WearOS device on the market easily.

Are there smartwatch options with a week plus of battery and the ability to pay through NFC that are worth considering, outside of the Garmin offerings I'm familiar with?

Check out OnePlus. They are up to the 3 now I think. I can easily get several days on the Watch 2. I think you could get a week if you turned off some stuff.

You aren't going to get a week plus out of any WearOS watch, but the OnePlus can do around 4 without too much issue.

I love my OP watch, and I was a smartwatch skeptic prior to this. It's very good.

Thanks I ordered the OP 3 watch for my dad, wish they had a smaller sized model too as it does indeed look pretty nice.

Before the OPW3 came out, I was kinda hyped for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic as the sort of more refined “most watchlike” smartwatch. Now I’m like, “what have you done for me lately Samsung?” I really wish at Google IO that Google would announce an actual centralized cloud based way to interact with Health Connect data metrics. Fitbit can only view some of the stuff as they won’t actually ingest the data into their own platform. Samsung Health does a bit better by ingesting and using hear rate data, workout data, sleep data, and stress data from other applications, but it won’t import things like steps. I just want one dashboard. Hell, even if they backtracked on Fit for that purpose, that would be something. I just don’t like the idea of an ever growing Health Connect DB that I have to transfer between devices to maintain history rather than a whole cloud platform that houses and visualizes that data.

Does the OnePlus 3 watch use its own app or is there a Google watch/health app for tracking?

Every watch has their own app since the relaunch of WearOS, in the case it's OHealth (yes, dumb name). It will write data to Health Connect.
