The old trusty Garmin Instinct. Great for battery life, notifications and durability. Not a great smart watch in regards to replies, storing music, etc. But, I always keep this one as it works well with both iOS and Android.
Was thinking about Galaxy Watch 4, with them being fairly cheap now.
just don’t think I need a smart watch!

I had one for a bit. I didn't like the way the band sat, vibrations are terrible if you've used an apple watch (I think you're haptic picky like me), but the screen is great! For the current sales prices, it's not a bad deal at all.

That's enough for me to not order! Thanks!
I don't really love smart watches but I like wearing a watch. I don't understand why people who have an iPhone move to android and go back because they can't cope without it. But I think I'm in the minority. ?
 
Snapped this pic back when I was on the Pro, utilized the 4x lens. I will miss the telephoto now that I'm back on the regular 6.

We moved the coffee table over to the window because Zeke loves to look outside and it's the perfect height.

My decision from the move is one thing and one thing only; to break the mental chain. And also I felt more calm and mindful without AW 4G.
It kept buzzing with notification. Made me nervous most of time. Am glad that I could get rid of that.

Prefer something more subtle and passive like Ouraring but that is also becoming controversial with starting of pay wall.
My final goal with all tech is to minimise interaction/inputs as much possible.
Quite happy with what P6 offer in migrating to that state.
 
Really like these cheap Chinese cases. Here's a picture of one next to my X-Level case for the regular Pixel 6, which i find the X case to be too greasy and sort of slimey;

Anyone have their screen go all black and not be responsive? I was walking my dogs earlier and one got off of the leash and took off. I grabbed my phone to call my wife so she could get my other dog and I could go after Zeke. However, the screen was black and I was unable to call her. My podcast was playing so the phone was on.

It was a terrible time for that bug to happen and was curious if anyone else has experienced that.

Luckily Zeke just ran around for a bit and then came back oblivious to all the chaos and stress. Lol

I've seen it once or twice, like where my screen just won't turn on with a tap, but then I turn it on with the power button and it works from there on. Not sure if that's what you are referring to or not.

It wouldn't turn on with a tap or a button press or anything. I even tried to tell Google to call my wife, etc. Hopefully just a random bug, but terrible timing.
 
Have yet to come across that bug yet. I've only seen the automatic brightness down and had to adjust bug...

Now I have a question for you guys and gals ... I have a Verizon FiOS router upstairs in the house. I'm at the bottom level with a FiOS extender .. signal strength is excellent all the time except when I come home and it connects to Wi-Fi. It seems like my phone is connecting the upstairs router at 2.4 I believe I see it which says fair signal instead of the extender ...so I have to turn off Wi-Fi and back on it connects to extender and full bars ... My extender is part of my my FIOS router so there's not a separate password or anything. It's one..
