Use the snapdragon w5 gen 1, no more tensor on the wearables for now.

    I really like mine, but the battery left a lot to be desired. For day to day I just use one of the smaller fit bits now that have like 10 days of battery. Now I only take the watch when I’m going on trips or driving long distances since the notification system is far superior. If they came with a decent battery life bump I’d be all over a new iteration.

      I have used mostly Xiaomi bands, I’m currently wearing a Redmi Band 2. It is not a smartwatch, it’s just a fitness tracker, but it can also control media, take photos and receive notifications, and lasts 10 days between charges. That’s all I care about (for now). When smartwatches batteries get better I may consider a full fledged one.

      Yea I get roughly a day out of mine. If I don’t charge it in the mornings it won’t make it through the day. I’d love to get a couple days out of it.

          Well when using it for sleep monitoring it means I can’t charge it overnight. It doesn’t charge quick enough to get a full day while charging in the shower or something so it’s inconvenient

        After coming from a fitbit, I put it on charge and then forget to put it back on. The wireless charging makes it slow. The versa would charge in 30m

          I’ve recently changed to a Fitbit Versa 2 after having a Huawei Android Wear for years until it literally fell apart. The Huawei never lasted more than a day, but I can get 2-3 with the Versa, which means I can use it for sleep tracking. Charging up only takes 30 minutes or so, so every few days I just pop it in for a bit. I ended up never using most of the features of the Android, so the Fitbit does me fine. The only thing I miss is the “now playing”, but I can live with that.

      I bought some really nice watch off Temu for $12 and it lasts days. I didn’t know if id wear a smartwatch, so i started with that. It’s lasts probably 5-7days. I’ve heard a lot of great reviews on garmins compared to Samsung, pixel, etc. I don’t care about all the fancy stuff, just want the time, steps, and texts.
