  • My first smartwatch was a fossil and it almost made me give up on smart watches entirely. It was pretty nice for the first 6 or so months but the battery deteriorated quickly and it only lasted like half the day. I didn't even last a whole year before I gave up on it and just assumed Android smartwatches were kinda trash.

    I actually got the free pixel watch 2 promo deal for preordering the pixel 8 pro thinking I could just sell it, but I decided to give it a shot and I actually really like it.

    • Psst... if you havent already, install GrapheneOS!

      • Totally would if I didn't have to have a work profile and my bootloader was unlocked.

        • How does a work profile work... regularily? I only use it through shelter.

          You need an invasive app that can completely control it, right?

          Its still so much better than ios. Thanks Google for compartimentalization

          • Your organization can control things only in the work profile, but it's completely sandboxed and your personal profile can't access any data there and vice versa.
