    Nope. I quit their Google bullshit ages ago. Moto 360 was a brutal betrayal.

    Get a withings scanwatch or something that is “dumb” enough to be an excellent and nice looking watch, hugely long battery life, and has all the health features that matter.

    It looks sharply professional, I charge it once a month, and the updates for it don’t constantly make it run worse to push features in a different part of their product line…

      The fossil gen 6 hybrid is my strap of choice. E-ink like the withings, but the whole face, and analog hands that have a separate 2 year battery, so if the “smart” runs out of juice you still get the time.

    Btw there are things called “screws” and they can look cool on a more traditionally male watch or you can put it on the back plate androgynous or female watch. You dont need glue for waterproofing, thats just anti-repair propaganda. Look at every mechanical watch, gshock, garmin, etc they all have screws and 100,200 or even more meters of water resistance. If the battery, screen, back assembly and maybe the buttons are repairable thats already good for a smartwatch.

    Make parts available. Right to repair isn’t wholly about designing products a certain way, but not allowing apple to monopolize certain parts.

    Seems like something you would think about while, you know, designign a product? And not after its release?
