      Gadgetbridge is awesome. Been using it with my Band 4 for a few years

    I thought the charge series was meant to be their basic ‘not really smart’ watches?

      The only hard one would be Google Maps. Wallet is just NFC and the screen. YouTube Music is just storage and Bluetooth.

      Even then, I would expect Maps to operate with a cached map.

        NFC? Pretty sure if they incorporate NFTs as a form of payment, it’ll be a whole thing.

    Yeah, no thanks. My third Charge 5 in 1.5 years “randomly” died a few days ago - I’m not that gullible.

    I’ve had a charge 5 for a year. 1 week battery life is the best feature. I don’t need all the fancy stuff other watches do. I even turn off GPS because my phone already does that.

    I love my Charge 5. I’m glad Google is keeping the series going. Whenever they inevitably sunset the tiny Charge watches and start pushing the big ol’ smart watches that don’t work for my tiny wrists and have a bunch of features I don’t care about, that’s when I’m bowing out.
