No idea you had your own channel! Definitely subbed, been watching and following along since the AAA days! Great overview, I wish more smartwatches took that dual approach to the chipset - might make them last longer than the usual 1-2 days. At this point, I believe most wearers have gotten used to simply charging their watches daily, I’m part of that group myself.

[@Techsploder]

Well I do now! :) Thanks for being here with me!

Great video! I was in the minority, actually loving the original OnePlus watch. I originally loved the pebble watches, and the oneplus watch did all the same stuff like notifications ect with a full color screen and week-long battery. It differentiated itself from other smartwatches, and I don't really understand all the hate it got. Pre-ordered the watch 2 and looking forward to wearing it 👍

[@Techsploder]

Great counterpoints! Thank you for sharing and I hope you enjoy the new watch!

[@TomZach]

Amazing video Jason!

[@Techsploder]

Thank you Tom!! Every time it gets a bit more complex. But I'm getting there!

[@PatHiggins-Mayo]

Great production Jason...

[@Techsploder]

Thank you Pat!

The OP Watch 2 is $99 in the US when bundled with the OP12... Win win

[@Techsploder]

Total no brainer!

I had three AW-watches, first two fossils, gen 4 & gen 5. Battery experiance as a bit of a char, but visually they were great. Now since a couple of years I had the SGW 4 and once it was updated to AW 3.5 it has been great. Although battery life is better it is still not enough how ever. I like the potential of a second OS that drawes less energy. What do you think will there be other AW-watches that will have two OS:es like this?

[@Techsploder]

Well, hard to say. We did interview Bjorn Kilburn from Google's Wear OS team on this week's Android Faithful and he didn't clarify if it WOULD come to other phones, but hinted that it very well might. The OS is set up to support it! kzbin.infombgLWoUWnsM?si=07w43XtAjN-nlMai

[@andersdahlberg6888]

That would be great! Will check out vid!

Hello, is it possible to read full emails included Pictures or not? greetings from austria

[@Techsploder]

I have noticed a truncating in long messages. Some emails I can read in full, others can not. Images in emails don't seem to come through. There's only so much you can do with such a limited space.

[@zainahmed1094]

Would you recommend over galaxy watch 6 classic?

[@Techsploder]

Hard to say, I haven't had experience with the Watch 6 Classic.

[@javtolt]

Did you recommend it over the ticwatch pro 5? Nice video!

[@Techsploder]

I've not had any first hand time with the Ticwatch Pro 5, but I have heard great things!

[@asus1111ful]

What we lose when connected to different android phone? Notifications will work? Can we call , answer calls by the watch Bluetooth? Google pay works? Can we install gboard?

[@Techsploder]

Adding those to my list!

[@Quietprofessional1]

2 things that bother me. No wireless charging andthe huge bezel. Other than that it's a great smartwatch

[@Techsploder]

Bezel doesn't phase me at all... And I'd prefer a wireless charging puck, but considering I only have to charge every 4-5 days, definitely not a deal breaker.

[@TayQuartermain]

First, 😅 another great video

[@Techsploder]

Thank you Tay!!
