Former Android users, what all made you switch to iPhone?

I used Samsung for the last 8 years or so. Got an iPhone 16 pro this year. I’m older. I don’t tinker anymore. I don’t use a lot of the “computer” aspects. While I loathe a lot of apples anti consumer bullshit, the ecosystem is just unmatched. I’ve acquired a MacBook Pro, AirPods Pro and Max, Apple W...

One UI 8 please come to Watch 7 🙏🏻🙏🏻😭

It will. Probably in December. Don't want to hurt sales of the "new" Gw8. Samsung always does this. Since the new watches are barely different from the old ones.

One UI 8 Watch beta announcement

Interesting. Bedtime guidance is a solid addition. Not super jazzed about the other additions but they are welcome. I'm surprised the requirements are so high. GW7 and GW Ultra or later is steep for new features. The Antioxidant requiring you to take off the watch to measure is interesting too. Wond...

Loving One UI 8 Watch on my Galaxy Watch7

I like that the tiles are now a vertical list, but I really dislike the notification UI changes. If I have multiple pending notifications from a single app it's more cumbersome to swipe away just a single/few notifications now. I wish they would just implement the same as what they did with tiles; m...

PSA for GW 8/8C owners, you don't need an lug adapter if you got the hybrid leather band.

Yeah, I can confirm. One of the first things i did was check to see if the leather band was using spring bars. Having a springbar tool makes it even easier to get them off. It also makes me a bit pissed at Samsung (and Google who does the same thing for their leather straps). You just had to put a s...

A watch 7 Ultra?

Seriously tho, I've always wondered this. What are you crashing your watch into to break the protectors? I've been wearing a Samsung watch since the first Samsung Gear Fitb so +/- 11 years.... Raw dogging it the entire time... I now have Watch 8.. and have never even scratched a screen. Real questio...

Why did you go for the instinct 3 and not Fenix 8?

You pretty much listed the reasons someone would choose the instinct 3 over the Fenix 8. There's a huge price difference for very little difference in features and with less battery life. I came to Garmin from a Samsung watch, because I wanted something more durable, long lasting and useful. I proba...

Watch 4 classic to watch 6 classic

The Watch 6 is not just faster cause of the 20% more CPU power its also faster cause it has 33% more ram. ( I have both Watch 4 and 6 and the 6 feels ALOT faster. ) The Screen is not only bigger its also much brighter, with smaller bezels and Saphire glass. The Watch 6 has faster charging and a much...
