Lucky guy, I ordered it to Germany and they wouldn’t let me use the non-eu warehouse (so they can get rid of their overpriced stock I’m guessing)
Stopwatch - can’t be minimised, can’t see the time while it’s open, restarts when you get a notification (the fixes have been sitting in the PRs for years)
Notifications - don’t get cleared when you clear them on the phone, clearing them on the watch doesn’t close the notifications screen, answering your phone through the watch doesn’t dismiss the call notification
Heart rate monitor - essentially useless since it can’t take periodic measurements, doesn’t work great unless you’re wearing the watch on the inside of your hand, but at least they’ve managed to finally read the sensor docs and program it correctly
Step syncing is a massive pain in the ass and often requires you to “manually” sync them by walking around while keeping both devices active
Battery barely lasts longer than a week even with infrequent wearing (and that’s a massive improvement over the previous 3-4 days max)
Lift to wake up usually acts more like shake to wake
The UI is pretty bad overall
There are like 2 half decent watch faces
Horrific weight distribution and the shitty strap make it feel 10x heavier. Like, my automatic is almost 2x its weight and I barely feel it, while this crap is constantly reminding me it’s there.
The CPP OS doesn’t let you chose what apps to activate nor does it have any way to load your code aside from compiling everything
Updates are only mostly headache free if you use specific PC software. Keyword is mostly, I’ve had some updates take a bunch of attempts to install.
That’s just from the top of my head
I call bs or it was before they started shipping from EU. You literally couldn’t order to Europe or EU countries from the other warehouse while they were stocking it.
It’s got a lot more issues than that. It’s utter trash unless you like want to practice CPP.
It’s complete crap, on the level of not being able to run the stopwatch in the background and having it restart if you get a notification.
Also, it’s 65EUR if you want to order it in Europe
Xkill doesn’t kill the process, it just stops showing it to you
It’s far better in theory, but in practice it’s got some massive issues:
In it’s current state it’s really only good for emacs, lisps, and some other languages like haskell.
Go is probably your best bet. Simple to use, and you can compile it so it runs everywhere
