So is that guess 1 million or 10 million? the article is about how there are about to be 100 million Apple Watch users.
I would definitely like longer battery life on my Apple watch.
Barring that it’d be convenient if the chargers were like lightning and usb-c: available in every gas station, drug store, and dollar store.
- mauvehaus 6y agoProbably somewhere in between? So maybe an order of magnitude and a half fewer? But yeah, the charger thing is real. Her new Garmin uses this weird housed pogo pin connector for charging. The last one used a cradle that hugged the back of the watch; no idea what the electrical connection is. I can only assume there's a good reason for the non-standard connector, and that it probably involves waterproofing? I have no horse in this race, to be clear.
- lukeschlather 6y agoThe Garmin Fenix is waterproof. I swim with it, I find it really great. I can even operate the watch in the water since it's not a touchscreen. And it would be worth the price just for having an ultra-compact GPS navigation unit for hiking. (It can run turn-by-turn navigation for 2-3 days, in the default low-power mode it can last 3 weeks with heart rate + step tracking + other basic metrics.)
