Some of these are decent, but if they really say "go fuck yourselves" to their first gen users who paid ~double what an equivalent Apple Watch costs then everyone should really think twice about buying a gen 2.

It's a basic watch app, there is zero excuse for not providing them to atleast all their direct customers, although it would be quite frankly much better for the ecosystem if they provided them to all Wear OS users.

While thats true. Im more annoyed that google paywalled features that the gw and apple watch provide for free.

[–] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah seriously. The only reason i bought a PW is because I don't have a Samsung phone which was needed for some of the GW features like SPO2. I'm still not a fan of the size of the Pixel Watch but decided to give it a try. Having all of the stats locked behind a subscription is terrible.

[–] Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah then with a Samsung watch or the apple watch you need the respective phone to get all the features that are built into the watch.... so stupid

[–] major_malarkey@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have a fossil gen 6 and looking at the next gen watches. What pw features are paywalled?

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I think a lot of the health tracking stats are locked behind Fitbit Premium.

[–] Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

advance sleep tracking is paywalled.

[–] major_malarkey@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn that's disappointing. Glad I found out. I have some pixel superfan credit I was about to use on some watch bands.

[–] Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Don't get the bellroy Pixel 7 and fold series of cases. They are absolutely ass.
