For a franchise show this is really incredible, let alone a STAR WARS SHOW. I’m glad they got at least one win on the main broadcast too. We are really so fortunate to have gotten such an incredible production made by such passionate and outstanding creatives. I would be shocked if we see a Star Wars show even be nominated for an Outstanding Writing Emmy ever again. I’m rooting for that day and I hope Lucasfilm takes the right lessons from Andor.

try watching it first. it has every reason to be recognized as exceptional, just like Andor.

Curious how’d you find your way into this thread as a non SW fan?

Pretty solid haul for a show that didn’t have a ton of crossover appeal in the mainstream and was going up against the phenomenon that is The Pitt (which is another outstanding show, hard to be upset about any award Andor lost to it). 

I’m not disparaging Star Wars. Ive been a fan for essentially my entire life, so I know the average quality of the franchise and how great of an exception Andor is. I also know what these industry organizations tend to nominate, and it’s usually not installments in long running franchises like Star Wars. I like the MCU too, but I don’t expect any of those movies or shows to win awards outside of a tech category here and there let alone awards for writing. All I meant was to celebrate Andor as an achievement, and hope Lucasfilm allows skilled creatives play in the universe with similar freedom to what Gilroy & co got to do with this show.

I’m glad that Andor stood and found success on its own two feet instead of needing cameos from other well known characters like obi-wan, Ahsoka, Darth Vader and so on. It shows the power of good story telling and well written characters. If it were other star wars projects you know a well known character will just show up like how the mandalorian took over part of boba’s fett’s show.

I enjoy the space wizards as much as anyone, but I also enjoy stories of the rest of the universe. The average guy as well as the exceptional hero.

Amazfit Helio strap

Also curious to know if and when Helio Strap will push HRV data to apple health. Essentially that’s the key. Athlytic pulls what it can from Apple.

If you are a really nice person, you could take it to an Apple Store and they would probably be able to identify it

I world have asked at the station if they had a compatible charger in the Lost & Found. Lol

You're a good person for even attempting to find the owner.

If you have a phone with wireless charging, you MIGHT be able to use your phone to charge the watch.

If they don’t pay for the cell service on it, it’s going to be pretty difficult to find them when it’s not paired to their phone. If you’re determined to find the owner I think some signs around the area would be most effective.

Go to a Starbucks with wireless charging pads on the tables.

I don't understand why you guys are so obsessed with the battery duration.

I just bought mine. It lasts more than a day with everything on.

I just wake up and put it to charge while I take my coffee , release the kraken and shower.

Why having an awesome technological device if you are not going to make use of it?

It's not like we don't have access to chargers basically 24/7.

This is just my opinion though.

Welcome, hope you enjoy it!

Samsung's warranty doesn't cover water damage. If you want to swim with it, then get Samsung plus. Just in case the waterproofing doesn't work. I lost my gw7 to this.

I charge my galaxy watch 6 classic 43 mm every three days because I can because I don't use all the features while paying in stores and using aod.

Never bothered me charging everyday. I get up in the morning and leave it charging for 30minutes whilst i get breakfast together.

This is enough everyday. Same for my phone.

When, during a typical day, do smartwatch wearers charge their watch?

I have an Ultra 2. I charge it every few days when I’m at my desk or just not using it. I don’t notice the weight when I’m sleeping. But that’s anecdotal YMMV. I had my concerns when I moved up in Watch, but they didn’t last.

I got an ultra 2 and I don’t even wear it all day cause it’s so thicc and heavy. I got small and sensitive wrists from bouldering so I only wear it when I run.

Charge it every day when you are taking a shower or whatever in the morning half an hour a day and you are good for a long time

Sleep quality and hypertension alerts are coming as software updates to older watches as well they said.

I usually charge mine when I take a shower. Or, if I'm at my desk at work and it's running low I'll usually charge it for 20 or 30 minutes.

Hasn't sleep quality monitoring been around for a long time? It's been included in FitBit for years.

Do you need Google apps and/or NFC (contactless)?

Because none of that is supported on Huawei watches.

If not, then it's a fantastic watch with excellent health metrics.

I get 16 days battery life with a power level 1 watch face and normal usage.

Been using the GT4 for almost 2 years now . Still amazed how long it can last on a single charge

The gt4 going for 100 pound on curry's and argos and Huawei direct Absolute steal  I've had mine for 18months...no complaints I got the gt5 but sold it off cause they very similar.... I'm. Thinking I'll get the gt6... If this one ever packs up Loving it

I picked up the gt4 today, still getting used to it, but overall seems impressive, just wanted to say thank you for everyone advice

I've had mine for just a fortnight and best watch I've ever owned. My battery lasts over a week. I'll never buy a Samsung watch ever again after bad experiences a few years ago.

Pixel Watch 3. The best smartwatch I've used by far. I've had Moto 360, Fossil Gen 3 and Gen 6, Galaxy Watch 4, Garmin Venu 2.

PW3 has real-time heart rate tracking, which is very important for me. Sleep tracking and other activities tracking is very very accurate. Battery life lasts 30 hours or so with all the bells and whistles turned on. I charge it once a day while I'm in the shower and that's good enough.

Oneplus watch 3 is the best ive had so far

Pixel watches have better HR sensor than GW. And Pixel watch 4 is going to be a very good watch. If you are fine with it's aesthetic, I would suggest it.

Galaxy watch 6 classic

So far, OnePlus Watch 3. Better than my Fossil Gen 6 in every way

I love my Tic Watch Pro 5.

I'm using a Pixel Watch 2 with a Pixel 7 Pro phone. Love it, although I almost immediately had to ditch the included sport band because the tail was digging into my wrist; Spiegen makes a great stretchy band that I'm currently using.

Happy to answer any specific questions you have.

What are you looking for in a Smartwatch?

If you don't need all the bells and whistles of a Samsung Galaxy Watch, maybe look into Pebble?

They're releasing new models, Pebble 2 Duo, in a few weeks.

It's a Samsung Galaxy 5. I've had it for a few years now.

Love my Samsung! I can choose to highlight using as many or as few apps that I'd like. It's so easy to use.

I have had multiple premium smart watches, most of them were Fossil brand. However the one I am MOST happy with is just my LIGE smart watch I bought for under $70 AUD from Amazon. All I want is a decent watch face, good battery life and notifications coming up on my watch. Maybe the ability to control music as well. That is pretty much it. The LIGE does all of that, and even includes some basic health sensors. Battery lasts for 4 or 5 days on my usage.

And at the price I will just buy another one if it dies.

AmazFit Balance 2 ticks all of those boxes.

Edit - as pretty much all of their other watches.

Depends on what health metrics you really want to track. Garmin are kind of the gold standard for sensors and all-day tracking. Apple is not far off from a sensor-hardware standpoint (in fact, they are kind of ahead), but something about their software and interpretations of sensor readings is kind of garbage....and battery life sucks.

I have the Forerunner 955 for a host of reasons - always-on display (much easier to see in the sun than newer LEDs), hella long battery life, mapping/directions (downloadable), music storage, great HR monitor, excellent sleep tracking. Also, the weather and sunset/sunrise functions are nice. I do not use it for calls or messages at all.

Bought mine during a sale for around $320 and have not regretted it one bit.

If price isn't an issue check the Garmin line. They have watches for runners, climbers, n daily life. I'm not a runner but I got the forerunner since it matched well with my life style. Just pick the one that u like the most based on its features. Battery life is from 7 days to 15 depending on the watch n use. If price is an issue get the lower end ones, less feats but still very nice battery life

Look into GARMIN. Desfit and DCRainmaker have a ton of reviews and in-depth guides and them. Plenty to choose from and all have CRAZY battery life.

garmin instinct 2/3 solar - very very long battery, good health metrics and very good tracking capabilities. Con - looks a bit like a casio g-shock.
