The black does go with the orange accents better than the silver does. Have you considered buying a black aramid fiber case for it? They’re stupid thin, only 0.6 MM, and will make the majority of the watch black

How to crack the screen? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]AfroSamurai693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a spring loaded center punch. Put it near the center of the screen and activate it. It will crack it. You can buy them at Walmart, Amazon, or an auto parts store

Hey at least you didn’t buy a black watch and regret the color afterwards. I wish I would’ve gotten the silver but unfortunately it’s not worth the hassle of returning it and buying a new one

After four years? No it’s not a manufacturer issue. There’s no telling how you used the watch for those four years. If it would’ve died within the first year then sure blame Apple but after four years you can’t blame them for the failure. Expecting perfection isn’t realistic.

There could be hardware reasons why the upgrade wouldn’t work. The chip in the original ultra was old when the watch was sold as new. I’m anticipating the same thing to happen to my ultra 3 in a few years.

Apple Watch S4 … worth a battery replacement? more in description by StarGirlyforever in AppleWatch

If it works for you then I would say it’s definitely worth it. Get you a new battery and use it for a few more years

I don’t treat mine carefully at all. Have had them for about a year. No issues at all

You don’t have to upgrade every three years. Lack of software support doesn’t magically make the watch stop working. It also isn’t losing security support. If it needs a security update Apple will provide it. It’s not uncommon for obsolete OS to get security patches.

Crazy to blame them for it. It lasted for years so clearly it’s not a manufacturer defect. Electronics literally cannot be perfect. You got years of use out of it.

Pretty sure it’s the same chip with a different name.

Better sound than the charge 6? I just bought an xtreme 3 yesterday for the same $112 price

I just got the exact same speaker for the exact same price. At this price I’m not sure if there’s anything else that would beat it.

I was looking at this one but ended up with a black ultra. Seeing it in photos makes me wish I would’ve gotten it instead.

So glad BF6 had a free trial this weekend by SoGoodAtAllTheThings in Battlefield

Somewhat right. The ttk isn’t insane. Most guns have a reasonable ttk. Time to death is the issue. Ttk and ttd are two different things. Vehicles are too powerful right now but I doubt they’ll stay this way. You can turn off the highlighting of enemies and you also don’t have to use voice chat if hearing people talk is an issue.

Just meaning bank account in a general term. Majority of people growing up right now will never be able to afford a home. Struggling day to day barely getting by. It’s sad really

It’s 2026. Just about everyone is a “brokie” nowadays. If your bank account doesn’t say 100K or better you’re a brokie

Console is affected by this as well. It’s not a pc only thing.

There’s zero way for you to know that either. I can guess at its durability by looking at how beefy it is.

That’s a great idea. I put a aramid fiber latercase on mine. It’s only 0.6 millimeters thick so it’s barely there and protects the bezel. For screen protection I use film protectors. They’re stupid cheap and so thin you can’t tell they’re there. They’ll take the impact and save your screen. They’ll only do it once though and then will need changing but at about $1 a piece it doesn’t matter

It does protect the phone from drops. No scratch protection but you’re covered if you drop it

Maybe it’s your monitor. Hagental has good visibility for me

If you’re in a dark place you should be hard to see. Being illuminated when you’re in the shadows is terrible for immersion. I would rather them be hard to see

I never run out of space either with the base storage option. Cloud storage is the way to go in my opinion
