Date: August 15th, 2019 9:01 PM Author: gay factory reset button It's amazing. Looks 180 and does keeps me from checking my phone every 5 mins. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4323987&forum_id=2#38693359) |

Date: August 15th, 2019 11:56 PM Author: boyish multi-billionaire Totally agree. People here keep bitching that it "isn't useful" but it is much more useful than a normal watch and I use it all the time.
BTW, my one piece of advice is to change the watch band to a nice leather band. Makes the watch truly 180. |

Date: August 15th, 2019 11:58 PM Author: bearded plum mother center bought this in june. overall meh
my main complaints:
1) it takes a couple of attempts for it to turn back on when i turn my wrist to look at the watch
2) samsung pay is SPS. no i dont want to enter my pin every 10 mins
3) bixby is unusable garbage
this watch has singlehandedly convinced me to switch to iOS the next time i get a phone (2020/2021 when iphones get 5G). my friends apple watch is so much better. i am the biggest apple hater out there and have never bought a single apple product in my life. not even ipod |

Date: August 16th, 2019 12:05 AM Author: boyish multi-billionaire Not really. Seems like nitpicking. It does everything I want it to do. I can't actually say that for Apple products. They just flat out make it hard to do what you want. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4323987&forum_id=2#38694284) |

Date: August 17th, 2019 2:39 PM Author: gay factory reset button use "always on" feature. Doesnt take up too much battery. I'm at 75% after a full day.
Also, you only have to enter your pin once. |

Date: August 17th, 2019 7:04 PM Author: Soggy property On the battery thing, the worst I've used in a day was about 25%. It's not like you need the thing overnight, just put it on the wireless charger before bed. I sometimes am up late or get up at odd hours, and am checking my phone, but you never need the watch unless you're out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4323987&forum_id=2#38702510) |

Date: August 17th, 2019 7:43 PM Author: boyish multi-billionaire I've used 33% before when I used it to track workouts/runs and it used a bunch of GPS and took some calls.
But I instinctually put it on the charger at night because it has to go somewhere. |

Date: August 17th, 2019 7:00 PM Author: Soggy property It's sort of like the MFH subway card, where you're fine once you learn what sort of motion it's looking for. I've gotten good at the specific motion I need to get it back to full power when I get an alert.
Always on is fine for the main watchface, I think he might be asking about the way to get it to actually show you the content of a particular alert you have. |

Date: August 17th, 2019 6:58 PM Author: Soggy property I have one. Got it about a year ago. Immediately switched out the stock band for a metal link band, and put on one of the nicer watchface skins. I swear I once was once asked, by a clerk at a high-end mall, whether it was a Tag.
The alerts are nice and being able to see who's messaging me without having to pull out my phone is helpful. The steps tracking is great too, better this than a FitBit. I wouldn't pay a huge premium for it, but I think it was like $250.
The only thing I don't like is when it gets uppity. Like, yes, I probably should move around, but I'm still stuck in a meeting. |

Date: August 17th, 2019 7:45 PM Author: boyish multi-billionaire Also it is really great when driving. Someone is texting you and I can either fuck with the BMW panel or just look at my watch. The watch lets me keep my hands on the steering wheel and is obviously better/safer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4323987&forum_id=2#38702697) |

Date: August 17th, 2019 7:49 PM Author: boyish multi-billionaire Those use Android Wear. The issue is there's no standardization. Some have GPSs, some don't. If it doesn't have GPS tracking for steps/exercise will suck, among other things. Some have good batteries and some don't. I had Android Wear before and while there's more apps available a bunch of stuff just didn't work because my exact watch model didn't support something. Ended up switching to Samsung because it was easier to live with on a daily basis. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4323987&forum_id=2#38702712) |
