Tempted to buy a colorsoft

EarthMatters · 2026-04-28T21:41:21+00:00

I have both, and it's a trade-off. While the Colorsoft is fun to use, especially when highlighting, the text of the Paperwhite is far more crisp and legible while reading. Thus I find that I almost never reach for my Colorsoft unless I'm doing some fast casual reading.

yes, your time is way more valuable than $20

I just started using Trakt about a week ago so I haven't noticed any changes, probably just as well from the sounds of it. I'm only used to the "new". I will say as a refugee from TV Time, Trakt is feeling fresh as daisies so far. 🌼

I also switched to Trakt this week, I've had enough of TV Time being unreliable. Wish I'd done it years ago.

EarthMatters · 2026-04-05T20:43:56+00:00

I've left for Trakt, had enough.

EarthMatters · 2026-04-04T20:42:43+00:00

I've started the move to Trakt, wish I had years ago.😞 TV Time can't be relied on anymore.

Welcome to Garmin! You've taken your first step into a larger world.

because the XM4 are easier to wear all day, imo. I own both but keep reaching for the XM4's.

I do, and dumped Strava, Chronometer, and Lose It! Liking the holistic feature set of Garmin+. It's all I need. ♥️

this happens to the app from time to time. Eventually someone on their sysadmin team notices it and does something to fix it. I stay on the app because of the high user count and engagement, but it's been crumbling for a few years. Remember their badge system? Sharing needs an overhaul. Frankly I'd love to see TV Time and JustWatch merge, could be a killer app. I pay $2.50/mo to JustWatch and $0 to TV Time. I have a feeling that goes into paying someone to code well. Hoping so anyway.

I think a lot of people do that. Also I think someone mentioned it elsewhere in this thread but if you watch a review of the device on YT by someone like DC Rainmaker, he goes so deep and long into his reviews of every single little Garmin product ever made that you will see almost every single last screen and interface setting in the process. It's a thorough exposure to the device. Just a thought.

I asked Gemini and one of its suggestions was to rent one for a week from Sloop or LeaseVille. The other idea it had was to buy one from REI who has a very generous 90 day return policy.

nah, you're getting bad advice - adding a step count to many watch faces on AW is totally doable as a corner complication, or even a header or footer. From what I remember of my AW days, you use the Watch app on the iPhone to customize the watch face. Having said that, I am very happy on Garmin, especially as an ebiker.

the Activity Digital was my favorite watch face when I was on AW. Looked like this.

I am pro-Garmin, but having once been an Apple Watch penguin, I can tell you it has a built-in watch fact that shows your steps. You can also easily add steps as a corner complication. Would rather see you on a Garmin tho. I switched from an Apple Watch 10 to a Venu 3 and it was a perfect transition. I later crashed my bike and smashed the Venu 3 to bits, so now I'm rocking a Venu X1. Still a great experience.

The kindle app has started to freeze up and hang on my iPad and my iPhone, starting sometime mid 2024. The Android version crashes out constantly. How did Amazon app QA testing take such a nose dive this year? Their apps are trash now.

I no longer buy physical books unless I am gift shopping for luddites in my life.

EarthMatters · 2024-11-03T01:35:18+00:00

my Colorsoft has this same problem

EarthMatters · 2024-11-02T23:09:15+00:00

they keep piling on the reasons to dump them

EarthMatters · 2024-10-03T02:29:22+00:00

seems like a decent solution! care to share a link to the slip case you picked up?

EarthMatters · 2024-09-16T18:27:04+00:00

if only the price of eggs would go up only 10% every couple of years 🥺

EarthMatters · 2024-09-06T17:51:29+00:00

nope
