I'm intrigued. I guess you're not going to beat apple on fitness and health tracking, so going towards more style and minimal function and alleviate the struggle of battery life could be a good move. I'd consider getting one, especially if they look nice.

Shame, $150 is right around where I'd pull the trigger for the Gen 5. I've given up hope waiting for the white whale that is the all around best wear OS device.

So Pujie Black keeps losing its connection to my fit account. I'll go into settings and re-set up the connection and it goes back to working, and then at some point later, it suddenly stops. I'm still testing to figure out what exactly triggers it, but anyone experienced similar behavior?

Good thinking. I removed fit from optimization on my phone, I'll see if that helps.

I think I'm on the opposite side of this, that thing looks perfect to me. Looks pretty slim and simple which is all I really want in a smart watch.

Yeah I pre-ordered the watch 4. Supposedly will offer me $100 for my lovely fossil sport that I might ha E only paid $100 for 2 years ago. Not holding my breath on that. Trying to find out what to dump this $50 of Samsung credit on now.

Samsung probably has some kinda proprietary strap connect mechanism dont they?

Pretty sure they are the standard quick connect bands.

My watch has been getting continually delayed despite preordering day 1. Supposed to be sometime last next week now hopefully.

Another week goes by, another week that my Samsung order gets kicked further down the road.

Lol I just realized that with the dumb charging puck Samsung has, a metal bracelet/band would make charging basically impossible. I'm definitely going to miss the Moto charging cradle.

I just turn the watch on its side and stick the charger to the back of it. It will stand up with help of the band and the puck will stay attached due to magnets and it acts as a tiny clock display for you.

I regularly need to restart my watch4 and every 6 months or so I do a factory reset. It starts to develop some weird behaviors like the aod not working.

And yet, it's terminally popular.

Have you possibly considered the apple watch is popular because it is an apple product (and the only apple wearable) and not because it has a square display?

I know, this is quite a stretch, but humor me

Tempted to trade in my watch 4 for the 5 preorder deal. My 4 has been pretty solid, though.

I was really down on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro renders when they came out, but I'll eat crow and say it's quite handsome and premium feeling in person.

I have a feeling I'm gonna be kicking myself for passing on the crazy good watch 4 trade in preorder deal for one

What kinda battery life can you expect on the samsung watches?

I have a watch 4 and I wear it nearly all day with most sensors turned on and most of my notifications coming through. I usually have about 70% battery left at the end of the day. Also note this is the previous gen samsung watch.

I have never had a battery issue with it at all

Hadn't considered that. I have the larger size watch 4
vvvvvv

Well, woke up this morning to a pending update for my watch 4. I assumed the bricking issue has been resolved so I released the update to the watch....and now it won't turn on.

Awesome.

I slept on the champagne/hazel color and missed out. I'll just wait, especially since they weren't really giving me anything for my watch 4 trade in.

After years of good luck with Google's QA, I think I finally got a lemon. My pixel watch 2 is restarting itself every few minutes after a fresh setup. Even did a reset and still no good.

After a week of very slow back and forth with Google support they finally approved the RMA of my pixel watch 2.
The plus side of this is it let's me order the color I originally wanted but was sold out at the time. The downside is it's not shipping until mid November.

Oh well.
