  5. RE: meow.social/@SebinNyshkim/1165

    So I've been wearing this thing for about a week now and there's both good and bad I've learned about it.

    The good thing is, this thing lasts. I can coast by two days comfortably before it needs a charge and even then it charges to 100% in like 20-30 minutes. Workout stuff works as expected. Reviews often knock on the Fitbit Premium stuff but it's not required for workout tracking.

    I was also surprised to learn Wear OS supports Android's private DNS feature, which means I can hook it up to my AdGuard Home instance to block ads and tracking with the added benefit of encrypting all DNS queries the watch makes for added privacy in untrusted networks.

    The app situation, however, sucks just as much as for the Apple Watch. There's just not that many utility apps available that aren't fitness focused or by Google itself. Don't get me started on the slew of "AI" bullshit apps on the store.

    The Navidrome app I've been using to stream my own music collection doesn't have a Wear OS companion app, so I just dished out the one-time 6,99 for Symphonium. It's quite polished and comes with Android Auto and TV support, so that's neat.

    Downloading music onto the watch for offline listening is ass tho. I have to initiate downloads on the watch and I can only sync playlists, not the entirety of my fav songs.

    Wear OS also keeps cutting Wi-Fi to save battery. I had to enable dev mode and Wi-Fi debugging to prevent that. Yikes.

    Contacts from my own Nextcloud instance sync, calendar appointments don't. Despite selecting non-Google calendars for sync, the calendar on the watch is empty. Only Google Calendar works apparently.

    Been an issue since 2023. Nice vendor lock-in you got there with your supposedly open platform.

    This checks out with how Android still doesn't offer CardDAV or CalDAV natively, whereas Apple does. You need an additional app for that. I do still get notifications for appointments as they come up on my phone, but again, it knocks off another point on the list of things for basic utility.
