Greyscale ( @greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org ) English8•11 months agoYeah, I literally don’t know what market they’re chasing. I just want it to last ages, show the time, have alarms and let me pay for things and store my QR codes for store cards n’ shit. Thats it.
I specifically opted for the 2 days on my smasnug 5 pro over the prior pixel watch. idgaf about google assistant.

jcarax ( @jcarax@beehaw.org ) English1•11 months agoI’m not sure you’d want to refresh e-ink every minute of every day, for the life of the device. Even with partial refresh, I have to imagine that would seriously reduce the lifespan.
roneyxcx ( @roneyxcx@lemdro.id ) English2•11 months agoMy Garmin Forerunner 945 is now 3 and half years old and have logged over 12,000km+ of activities and still running fine. Also one of my running friend has a Forerunner released in 2011 still running strong in 2023, although with reduced battery life. He has ran over 20+ marathon with this watch. Usually in these watches the NAND flash wear out before e-ink.
jcarax ( @jcarax@beehaw.org ) English1•11 months agoAh, good to know. I didn’t know there’d been e-ink watches before, but I’ve seen a lot of concern about constant refreshes burning out screens.
