My dad gave me his Samsung Watch 7 he got for free with his new phone. What a disaster it was. Couldn’t connect to anything other than a Samsung phone, couldn’t charge it while trying to make it work on my Nothing Phone because the device got too hot. Yeah… never a Samsung again for me, not even for free. He now uses it because ofcourse, it instantly paired to his S24 Ultra.
If my Garmin Instinct 2 dies, i would buy something simular. Or, if Garmin decides to aggresively pushing their subsribtion services in the (near) future or do anything other stupid, i would take take my money to Pebble:
Yes, it really shouldn’t, but it did. I tested it on 3 devices: Motorola G55, Nothing Phone 2(a) and my friends Samsung A52s. Guess what? Only the A52s was able to connect… And i have tried EVERYTHING. That can’t be coincindental.
And that getting too hot: Samsung doesn’t not make good cpu’s when it comes to efficiency, especially thermal performance.
