This is cover for the fact that they have zero planning and over hired during covid. And now with the tariffs and impending economic downturn, they are nodding and winning that this is because of AI and not that the management teams are terrible at the things they are responsible for (forecasting and budgeting).

Yep I’m asleep without my Apple watch because the battery barely holds out a day and a half.

Instead of focusing on battery life, they focused on some dogshit hype product that no one uses and no body asked for.

People will die.

That is absolutely a core feature of Garmin not just a perk. The fact that Apple didn’t include it while doing explicit commercials for biking, running, and swimming was definitely to make it seem like it’s direct competition.

Comparing to Garmin where I get daily workout recommendations based on your sleep and recovery. From what I’ve seen the workouts are behind the paywall.

Most definitely.

It’s also likely driven down by non stop paywalling of features. Consumers like myself are just exhausted. I am only looking for non paywalls devices going forward and if those go away, then I’m going to be done with smart devices. I can’t keep paying hundreds to a thousand dollars for a device only to not be able to get the features of that device unless I keep throwing money at a company. I know they have costs to maintain software and add features but I can’t have perpetual costs on everything I buy.
