Yeah, I enjoyed using One UI 8 during the time I had the Galaxy Watch Ultra... their new tiles feature was nice to have, made some slight changes to the notification center. However... wasn't really a big update, but the new tiles feature I really liked having (with the ability to fully customize it).
Yeah, I wasn't fan of that. Pixel Watch has the screen off when charging.
There's no widgets on the watch... maybe you are referring to the tiles? But yeah... I don't really care for the notifications on the Galaxy Watches, one of the reasons I went with the Pixel Watch.
Tiles. For example, I have the activity tile and you can put something like the weather tile below it. Well, what if I just wanted the activity tile and just have it bigger. There's no way to have it bigger so it's half the screen and it's pretty small. Of course if there was a way to resize it, that's great.
Go to watch settings, display and turn off show charging info. Now the screen will be off when charging.
Yeah, I figured eventually you’ll make the move… no point in holding onto it when you don’t plan on using it. And I have no issues with mine OS wise.. like the notification alerts/center, does well when it comes to using it as a remote for audio playback.
It is a really nice smart watch, the best wear OS option in my opinion. It just falls short after coming from using an Apple Watch and all of its capabilities for so many years. The differences also become more obvious when you’re wearing both of them side-by-side.
Trust me... I know the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch on the market, but my preferences are toward an Android phone. And if Apple were to open support for Android platform, then I'll certainly wear one. I've thought about getting an iPhone to keep in the drawer while using an Apple Watch... but decided against that since it involves having multiple lines.
What watch bands do you currently have?Glad you’re enjoying your time with it. I might be able to help you with your band issue.
I’ve got a busy few days (daughter graduating from college and family visiting), but I’ll do my best to grab a few minutes to pull out what I have and send you some pics.
Congrats on the daughter graduating! And no rush… stay in that moment for as long as possible!
I really like the color. I would love to get one but I'm going to wait for next year's version since I've only had my current watch a year.
I like the Prime with the date complication.
That looks cool, although I ended up sending back my pixel watch today as I'm trying to lose weight and fitbit just didn't cut it for me, and the heart rate sensor took a while to detect exercise (sprinting on my indoor bike trainer at 75bpm just isn't true).Torque watch face.
I ended up sending back my pixel watch today as I'm trying to lose weight and fitbit just didn't cut it for me, and the heart rate sensor took a while to detect exercise (sprinting on my indoor bike trainer at 75bpm just isn't true).I liked the design and it was comfy, but I realised I need a sports watch more than a smart watch, so after going back to my Garmin forerunner, I got a Fenix 8, which has the smarts I need (limited to be fair) but much better health and sports tracking. And battery, although the pixel was fine charging whilst I was in the shower.
I've went the other way, I've sold my Oneplus watch 3 and Apple watch ultra 3 and have stuck with my Galaxy watch ultra 2025.
That's not a bad way to go and I would add LTE to mine but I never leave home without my phones. I enjoyed both the OnePlus and Samsung watches but I really just want to concentrate on using one watch. I'd rather have all my health Data from the watch syncing with my iPhone.
That's another reason I went to Garmin, it's platform agnostic even if the smarts aren't as good. Having said that my Fenix is 90% of a smart watch for the features I use. Maybe a bit less on iOS of course.
