Use the snapdragon w5 gen 1, no more tensor on the wearables for now.
I really like mine, but the battery left a lot to be desired. For day to day I just use one of the smaller fit bits now that have like 10 days of battery. Now I only take the watch when I’m going on trips or driving long distances since the notification system is far superior. If they came with a decent battery life bump I’d be all over a new iteration.
I have used mostly Xiaomi bands, I’m currently wearing a Redmi Band 2. It is not a smartwatch, it’s just a fitness tracker, but it can also control media, take photos and receive notifications, and lasts 10 days between charges. That’s all I care about (for now). When smartwatches batteries get better I may consider a full fledged one.
I think a lot of people take it off at night, allowing them to charge it for the next day, making the battery issue less important. It sucks for those that want to track their sleep though.
I know my ticwatch only lasts 2 days under light usage, so I make sure to charge it every night. But I don’t care to track my sleep, so I’m one of the people it doesn’t matter for.
This is missing one of the most awesome features of these devices - vibration wake up alarm. It is literally life changing, and doubly so when your partner is using it. 🥲
I don’t use alarms either, I’m one of those annoying people who just wakes up on time lol
Not sure whether to be happy for you or sad. 😄
Not having to charge it every 1-2 days would be great. Batteries degrade over time and I don’t want to buy a new one every 2 years.
