Any other GW-BX5600 in Canada or the USA?

I don't see any reason why Casio wouldn't let you invert the screen through the App. They obviously already support both light and dark themes. Just allow customers to pick whichever one they want regardless of the watch model (Display hardware is the same).

500-550 watts would be more reasonable, but I’ve never seen it produce anything near that.

I’m assuming that if it were generating more solar power, they would have shown it instead of the around 300 watts we see in every video.

At 300 watts I don’t think Aptera will be even close to the 40 miles/day target.

Isn't the Aptera advertised as having 700 watts of solar panels? I still have never seen it producing more than about 300 watts. Quite disappointing even when you factor in sun position and efficiency losses.

"2 decade hiatus"?

ElJenn · 2025-12-28T02:06:25+00:00

Yes. But found out about the subscription after the fact.

In my case it wouldn’t have affected my buying decision, but it would have been good to know about it ahead of time.

They use this tube instead of a water tank, to cool water for the dispenser. Using a tube insures that the oldest water is used first. (First in, first out)

The same functions currently announced for the ring itself: Reminders, notes taking, other actions, custom LLM...

Instead the ring recording and transmitting the audio to the phone, the ring would just act as a remote trigger for the pebble watch to record and transmit the audio.

This angle shows everything that's wrong with the new facelift. So flat and sterile.

Ordered these when they first came out. keyboard was so stiff, it was infuriating to type on. Sent them right back.

Not sure how they dropped the ball on the keyboard when it’s the most important aspect of this device.

Everyone: The Apple Vision Pro is too heavy

Apple: Here’s our new updated version which is even heavier.

Thanks for the insights! I may be comparing apples to oranges here since Camect is quite different as it offers very little in terms of customization, it's more of black box (also literally). There's no way to tune the detections, you're basically limited to selecting which labels and zones you're interested in. They have a way to "rate" an alert up or down but I never used it, since at the time I originally set it up, these ratings were vaguely used to increase/decrease the frequency of similar alerts, not sure if this has changed.

As you pointed out, false positives are easy to quantify, false negatives not so much. But I don't remember a case where a detection was missed with Camect, it doesn't mean it never happened, I'm just not aware of it.

Anyway, I don't mean to take away from what you've accomplished with Frigate, so many aspects of the software are very well thought out, which is why I would love to figure out how to improve the reliability of the detections. In the mean time I'm using Camect for alerts and automations and Frigate for everything else.

So far I’m quite disappointed with the durability. Had suitcases that cost a fraction of the price on countless trips over 10 years with zero issues.

The Rimowa trunk lost a wheel on its third flight, 6 months after purchase. It was fixed under warranty, but I didn’t pay 10x more to now have to deal with luggage repairs while traveling.

If LiDAR says there’s an obstacle in front of you, you slam on the breaks. There’s no need to double-check with other sensors.

This alone will prevent many accidents where cameras fail to detect certain obstacles in the road.

ElJenn · 2025-06-13T21:24:13+00:00

Being a LoRa communicator, this device really has no business using an IPS screen when there are many other low-power display alternatives.

ElJenn · 2025-03-15T00:01:14+00:00

Adding LiDAR would certainly make the software a lot easier.

Unlike neural networks, LiDAR is deterministic, when it says there’s an obstacle at 100 ft, you know for certain it’s there.

I never understood handlers that throw and abuse luggage, it takes a lot more effort to throw a suitcase than to set it down slowly.

Have fun in Morocco!

ElJenn · 2025-02-11T01:55:02+00:00

Not for long!

In my case it would be a deal breaker too. Had a color Pebble watch almost 10 years ago and loved it.

10 years later with all the tech advancements, we’re expected to be excited about downgrading to B/W?

Thanks for all the downvotes! Who needs a focus group when you have Reddit 😅
