MODERATORS
Thanks for joining us here in our new home, so happy to have big names help to validate it!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the watches, it feels like the 5 was kind of an incremental upgrade, and it's looking like 6 might be similar, anything that's not captured on the spec sheet that makes it a worthwhile upgrade?
What are you thinking of upgrading from? I've seen a lot of people say a similar thing about the Fold 5 versus the Fold 4 but it's worth noting that most people don't upgrade their devices every year so the target audience likely isn't people like us.
For sure! I'm actually just in the market for watches in general, I love the ticwatch dual display (but don't love that my tichwatch pro 3's software is.. collecting dust on the proverbial shelf..) but the samsung watches always seemed so spiffy and clean! So you'd say overall we're still pretty incremental then in terms of meaningful changes from the watch 4?
I also actually daily drive the TicWatch Pro 3! I know Mobvoi is working on a Wear OS 3 update for the watch, but it's still in private beta and probably won't roll out soon for regular users.
I'm personally interested in the Watch 6 because it runs Wear OS 4 based on Android 13 out of the box and thus has access to a bunch of Wear OS apps I currently can't get on my TicWatch lol.
