Next thing to be killed by Google in 3, 2, 1...

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is why I never invest in any Google product. They have a terrible track record of killing a project months after it was released.

Take them to court. Completely unavoidable amount of waste. C'mon

Oooof, its kinda sad given pixels are some of the few devices with an unlockable bootloader.

I’m so close to going pixel again but stuff like this really bothers me.

I’d hope that if they did exchange the watch, they’d at least refurb the broken one that was handed in.

Every pixel product I have had was fine when I got it, but Google just won't commit to support its products in any reasonable way.

I've never had similar issues with Samsung.

Exchange?

Google doesn’t have a program for that, and they’ve already said accidental damage isn’t covered by warranty.

So if you crack your screen, it’s entirely on you to just buy a full new one. You could turn it in for recycling, sure. But that wouldnt go be be refurbished. Most companies don’t do their own refurbishment, and the pixel watch does not any parts available to it outside of manufacture.

This is why I love my Watch 6

Is it worth it if you don't have a samsung phone?

[-] cupcakezealot 1 points 1 year ago

Personally I have an A54, so I'm not entirely sure but the last thing I read is that the watch is fine you just lose out on a couple of items (due to the Galaxy Store not being on other devices).

Here are some Galaxy Watch features that require a Samsung phone:

  • ECG
  • Blood pressure monitoring
  • Samsung's AR Emoji watch faces
  • Remote smartphone camera control

I'm still upset about my OnHub, really nice routers but essentially bricks now if it's not already set up.

[-] SGHFan@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Very anti right-to-repair. Remember that Google has an iFixit partnership.

I like this watch face. Does anybody know where I can find it?
