      Why does every manufacturer fall for the IPS/OLED meme instead of using a transflective LCD (like what a calculator has)?? My Amazfit Bip gets 6 weeks on a single charge with the screen on 24/7

        transflective LCD is like magic tho, the things are floating. Jokes aside is there a smartwatch that has this screen, but with actual pixels, so that it’s just as “smart”? I know thag amazfit can show you all the info, but having a mini-mini-pc is cool.

          I basically just want a smart watch to be an extension of my phone’s lockscreen:

          Tell me the time, and tell me why my phone just buzzed, almost anything else is bloat that’s shaving literal weeks off of the battery life

            Whatever floats your boat ig. For me it’s 50% looks and 50% sleep tracking. I don’t think a wristband can track how much calories I burn, and sport tracking is basically a meme. But for checking if I get enough sleep, and a fashion piece. Yes, pls.

            Different market.

      What does not work for you? Other then the one player pong sucking I have had the opposite experience.

      My battery life is about 3 days.

      Have you updated it this year? 1.13 improved the battery life from 3-5 days to 10+

      I would not say that any of the features work well enough to consider them as actual features.

      That is a bold statement. I as someone who was considering purchasing one, could you elaborate?
