has it really already been 9 years i still think of smartwatches as new tech oh god i'm gonna die soon
The F with websites that doesn't allow my DNS, my VPN, and my adblocker. My browser, my rules - your website and business plan, your choice. My private data.
i accessed it with a very dodgy vpn (ivacy, which is blocked by a ton of websites for abuse) +privacy badger and it did not block me
Thanks for the info. I'm a bit on the classic side, on mobile, with adguard DNS, proton VPN and Firefox Focus.
Use Firefox with ublock origin instead of Firefox focus. It should not be blocked.
I miss the no bezel screen, despite the flat tire. Unfortunately I burned through three of these in a short amount of time from the cheap plastic back, and the battery was absolutely terrible.
Yeah that whole "flat tire" thing was so blown out of proportion. It looks better than any of the current watches with their huge bezels. I swear someone paid off reviewers to pan Motorola's products. The moto X got a bunch of unfair BS too.
The Moto 360 just looks amazing. How come no smart watches are like that today?
Because everyone complained about the flat tire.
Pebble Time Steel should have been the "standard". Maybe I'm the wrong audience but the Moto 360 is a big miss for me. A smart watch for me needs to have:
I don't care too much about "premium materials" once some basic durability is satisfied. I don't have an opinion about round vs square.
