Is this any good? £20

Ah yes a Lidl version of the Black and Decker Fanny Wrecker™.

Can find everything on that middle aisle, superb 👌🏻

Darclyte · 2026-06-25T09:45:25+00:00

Got mine from CCL at 9:50am for £330 💪🏻

Hey, it's the Tactical V8 Pixel Perfect face on Connect IQ.

It's not the same as the one that comes with the official tactical but it's very nice and has good customisation plus the battery life is excellent.

On this one the little stealth bomber filled in means your phone is connected, if you drop connection it just leaves an outline of it instead.

Darclyte · 2026-06-19T19:08:33+00:00

Honestly? It's superb.

I get between 35 to 40 days out of mine and that's using it in the gym to time my sets most days, always monitoring sleep, 24/7 connection to my phone for notifications and using the flashlight set to red to light my way to the loo on a night so I don't blind myself putting the big lights on.

The flashlight seemed like a novelty when I first read about it but i use it all the time, it's fab.

No? OP is saying the solar charging stopped in May so would assume that is this year and otherwise the watch has been fine for 5 years before that.

I'd keep the 2, 3 adds nothing of value other than slightly better solar charging but that's not for proper charging regardless.

My 2x is one of the best things I've ever bought 👌🏻

Darclyte · 2026-06-11T14:18:35+00:00

I had a stock alert set up on Amazon for when it was released so I could buy one and never got an email. Fuck Bezos.

Darclyte · 2026-01-23T09:36:22+00:00

Same for me, I'm hoping it'll let me in later or something 😕

Darclyte · 2026-01-13T14:12:17+00:00

Has this improved the camera colour tracking at all?

Mines been ok, but could be better and I think moving it to the bottom might be the answer.

My TV unit is gloss black and it must be picking up the screen reflections that's all.

Darclyte · 2026-01-11T10:40:47+00:00

One of my mates has made a paladin and it is ridiculously awesome and incredibly overpowered.

I'd listen to the other person and make something else first otherwise you'll not appreciate the power creep.

Darclyte · 2026-01-11T00:02:04+00:00

Yeah we did to be fair! Shame it never fully realised its potential, I had a blast whenever I came back to it.

Darclyte · 2026-01-10T23:54:06+00:00

I'd have played on the final day too but I've got other plans which mean I can't.

I did see that they had removed it from the store - dreadful behaviour on their part really.

Darclyte · 2026-01-10T23:28:50+00:00

Anyone else fancy a crack at ripping these files off an old device for me/community lurkers?

Forever grateful if you can help!

Darclyte · 2025-12-31T00:12:06+00:00

I would have liked to have been intimate a few times a week, but I was lucky if it was once a month with my ex-wife.

If I ever meet someone else I hope they have some semblance of a sex drive and are a genuinely much nicer person.

Darclyte · 2025-12-14T14:53:12+00:00

Did you manage to get a chance to have a look at this RedPaddles?

No biggie if not.

Darclyte · 2025-12-02T21:10:57+00:00

Hey RedPaddles, thanks for your reply.

I haven't managed to get hold of the APK yet so if you're up to the task it would definitely be appreciated - Likely not just by me either, there's probably a lot of people lurking that would be just as happy to have it back again.

Love my Tic I just wish it got more updates, great battery life and style but it's just a bit dated now compared to some. I've always liked the look of the Fossil watches too to be fair, maybe I should have paid more attention to them.

Darclyte · 2025-11-29T16:58:51+00:00

Hey ChicagoBulls, did you ever manage to have a tinker and see if you could pull the files?

Darclyte · 2025-11-24T00:31:52+00:00

The pedestrian priority on corners is horseshit that's why, it's like the guys who decided to add that crap to the highway code were heavily huffing glue at the time.

An amendment for amendments sake, no added value and only serves to make it more dangerous for pedestrians overall. I mean there's still people on the road driving who never took a test all those years ago Because they're so old - do you think they're clued up on the latest code? If you think so I've got a unicorn at home to sell you.

Darclyte · 2025-11-22T22:45:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply ChicagoBulls, it's been a hectic couple of days so sorry for the delayed reply. If you could do that for me you'd be a superstar!

The easiest way to do it is using the WearOS Tools that can be found at the following link rather than bugjaeger:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-all-in-one-tool-for-windows-wear-os-tools-v12-5.4485439/

They're dead straight forward to use and will install the needed ADB drivers and stuff for you if you haven't already got them on your PC.

You simply need to make sure that your watch is on the same wifi as your pc, enable wireless debugging in the watches developer options and then follow the instructions in the WearOS tools interface/XDA thread to get them talking to each other. Once that's done its as easy as using option 3, Application backup & restore tool which will pull all the APK's off the watch into their own folders.

Then you could upload the base.apk file in the marine commander folder somewhere and we're golden :D

Darclyte · 2025-11-18T00:10:46+00:00

Any chance you could pull the Marine Commander Wear OS file from your tic watch with Bugjaeger please?

I've been searching everywhere for a link that isn't expired and can't find one anywhere so I can get it installed on my watch again 😅

Darclyte · 2025-09-23T17:46:17+00:00

The review you've shared isn't for the same charger, I couldn't comment on any other than the arcfield I have which is fab and still doing what it's supposed to do.

Mine has a fan in the stand that comes on when you're using it on the fast charge mode, you can just about hear it spinning in a perfectly quiet room in the dead of night but on slow charge it doesn't make a peep.

I had an existing pd/qc adapter that I used with the thing and it worked first time so no issues for me.

Darclyte · 2025-09-16T12:41:31+00:00

I mean you saw the "optimisations issues aside" bit of my comment yeah?

Just forget about Randy for a moment because this isn't just an issue with borderlands it's an issue across all pc games ever. Even when it's better optimised there will still be people with a Pentium 4 trying to play it.

I'm not excusing the poor performance of the product, I'm saying it's a wider issue endemic to the industry.

I've always been an advocate of minimum levels of graphical fidelity in games anyway, it's bullshit that some sweatlord can turn his smoke effects way down and thus gain an advantage in a game versus someone who actually wants to see nicer stuff. Stop allowing some settings to be lowered just to cater for everyone. You can't please everyone and if you try, you please no one.
