How long does the AW6 last practically nowadays? Since I'm hopping over to an iPhone 12 now, there's interest in one. Can it last at least 24 hours when I disable AOD and ancillary things like GPS and Wifi? I'd like to wear it 23/7 from shower to shower. --edit: And use it as vibration alarm clock.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Don’t disable anything. You don’t gain much my disabling AOD anyway. The main purpose of the watch is to have everything on. If you’re disabling stuff, just get a Garmin then. It defeats the whole purpose of all the AW features.

Got my AW6, it's a nice device. Raise to wake could be a little less sensitive. That said, I'm surprised by the size. I'm by no means anywhere near swole, but watching reviews retroactively after ordering, I was wondering whether the 44mm was maybe too large. Turns out most reviewers I looked at seem to have scrawny as gently caress wrists. If the watch were 46mm or maybe even 48mm, it'd be fine with it. Also, I wish the heartbeat middle complication would be a rolling window.

Are there any third party apps that do something with the ECG data? Maybe some machine learning based stuff giving terrible advice and diagnostics?

What I'm surprised is that the ECG app doesn't measure HRV. I'd wager it's probably more accurate at it than the optical measurement. At least there's never HRV data points around the date and time I ran the ECG.

Only reason I got the S6 is for the HR sensor, because some sports nerds on Youtube (DCRainmaker, DesFit and also some swiss dude who's doing scatter plots for the devices he tests) pitted the various models (and other watches and fitness trackers) against expensive chest straps, and the S6 seems the most accurate so far.

kitten smoothie posted:The other advantage S5 has over the SE is the heart rate sensor; even if you don't care about EKG, you can put your finger on the crown and get 1-second resolution readings instead of 5-second from the optical.

It’s still there, and it kind of has a purpose. It’s the only way to force manual HRV readings, even tho it ain’t explicit about it.

Bleh, newest rumors are about optical blood glucose monitoring in the series 7. I sure hope it'll turn out unreliable as gently caress (if true, anyway), because if not, I want that.

Maybe. There's plenty of papers about optical glucose measuring, but some go back a decade or more. Nothing happened in that regard so far. Yet. Probably something that requires regular calibration, like Samsung's optical blood pressure measurements.

That Nike silicone sports wrist band seemed to have inflamed my median nerve, because of the constant pressure on it, even tho it was relatively loose (but not loose enough to ruin HR tracking). That's sure some loving fun. --edit: After some more googling, it turns out that it's some useless tendon that evolution didn't get rid of (palmaris longus tendon), and it is a tendonitis I guess. I should have figured nerves don't run that close under the skin. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jan 29, 2021 |

Does it still try to ID the upper uncovered half of your face, or will it just blanket unlock, if the watch is close by?

I wish I could use Apple Pay, but practically all banks over here in Belgium insist on Bancontact, which is a decades old but perfectly working solution, that also supports nowadays NFC and works fine on Android. Except the iPhone, because Apple apparently doesn't allow third party app to fiddle with the NFC transceiver nilly-willy. :|

Considering that poo poo stretches out relatively quickly, and that when the protective coating rubs off that it'll cause skin irritations, I wonder why everyone springs for these solo loops instead of the nylon sports loops.

No idea, just things I read on various forums about the watch. Also, I sure hope they'll (iOS 15?) eventually allow to change the notification sounds on the watch. I'm lately getting messaged a lot and that Ding! sound starts driving me up a wall. loving Apple. --edit: Complaints on macrumors.com going back to 2015, I guess that'll change exactly never.

All the watch sees is that it's moving in an unanchored 3D space and has to make sense of it. If the vibrations/motions induced look similar to the pattern it's looking for the handwashing detection, it's gonna assume that. If it's a mower you're pushing/guiding by hand, your wrist is probably going to move around a lot, if there's the slightest uneven terrain.

The rushing of water probably looks more like noise, making it harder to discern, whereas some baby crying leaves a decent spectral fingerprint. Things aren't always as easy as one expects at first glance.

So is a significant part of the money donated to some cause, or why is it that expensive? I get that Apple is a luxury brand, but a 100 bux is a little over the top, if it’s just pure profit.

Zwille posted:It’s the same price as the not-donation bands, yeah I guess it’s just QC (maybe) and margins (mostly), being right around the price range where people will buy it. At least there's something to Apple's QC. Because the few China bands I've tried, the tab that goes into the watch all had poo poo tolerances. It's probably an OCD level complaint, but I couldn't stand to be able to look through a gap in the slot and tab. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 11:58 on May 30, 2021 |

I guess anything more innovative other than that walking steadiness crap will require waiting for the AW7 release in fall. The closing page of the presentation highlighted blood glucose highlights separate from the lab results highlights. You'd think that'd be practically the same. I guess there's maybe something to those rumors of a blood glucose sensor. When's the GW4 due? Before or after the AW7? If Samsung rushes it to market, if it exists, I guess the AW7 will have it, too.

And here I'm like a loving idiot trying to get to the month view of the calendar app on the watch. All posts on the web talk about force pressing it to call up the change view menu. So I figured long press ought to do, and it didn't. Took me a while to figure out I have to go to loving settings for that, to pick anything other than the default Today view. Apple, you dipshits, if you ax features, make sure poo poo still works.

The new Galaxy Watch 4 does some body impedance bullshit using the ECG leads to guesstimate your body fat content. I wonder if that's anywhere near accurate, because that'd be a nice to have. --edit: On the AW.

I sure hope they're trying something with the AW8. I always used to bitch about Samsung, that they're only being reactive to Apple, but now they've suddenly this BMI sensor and optical blood pressure estimation. Also, why the gently caress does it take like 45 minutes to copy the 1.2GB WatchOS 8 image to the watch, if it has Wifi?

In good Apple tradition, they threw an app called FlickType from the AppStore earlier this year, which happened to be pretty much like their new swiping keyboard on WatchOS 8, down to a T.

Are there meanwhile any deep learning based apps that do anything worthwhile with heart rate and/or ECG readings? A long while ago there was Cardiogram blowing a whole lot of hot air about their "DeepHeart" machine learning crap supposedly being capable of predicting various issues, but other than fancy blog posts, there wasn't anything other than a custom heart rate tracking app that did gently caress all.
