I bought a second PTS back in the day, and kept my original as a backup. I just recently had to switch back to it because the daily driver couldn't hold a charge anymore.

I tried looking for a replacement smart watch that could do the things I need it to do, and there's still not one on the market at any price point that can do

  • Always-on color display
  • 7+ days between charging
  • Notifications with full messages on the watch
  • Ability to respond to messages from the watch via both canned responses and voice dictation
  • Smart alarms (activate up to 30m before alarm time, if watch detects you're no longer in deep sleep)
  • Customizable watch faces
  • Ability to develop custom watch apps
Why can't I just buy it without being charged for preinstalled spyware? in c/[email protected]

They only offer that option for some models. For everything else, you have to select the Windows version with no added cost, and just eat the loss of the baked-in Windows tax.
