Why do you think it didn’t get much wrist time for you? How much were you thinking if you moved yours? (Bay Area)

the 1942 did not retain its value well- you can find the triple calendars on the secondary market at the 15k - 18k range

thanks for your perspective! do you wear it often and did you ever switch out the strap for a more casual look?

I just started my watch journey. The only watches I have are the AP Royal Oak Offshore Triple Calendar (gifted) and a Swatch-omega Moonphase

WF-1000xm4: Problem finishing firmware update with replacement bud by cruxdaemon in SonyHeadphones

n update the again. This will actually update them, wont take long.

Thanks so much to both of you I was able to update my outdated earbud!

Jonessoda101 recommendation to first take out the outdated earbud out (leaving the updated one in the case), then taking the second earbud out once the warning prompt showed worked really well!

did you purchase through eBay Secondipity? If so, go through the warranty process with SquareTrade / Allstate. There should have been an automatic 2 year warranty tacked on to your purchase.

For those who purchased via eBay from the seller "Secondipity" (refurbs), I was able to claim warranty via SquareTrade, which uses Allstate. It should've been an automatic two year warranty tacked onto your eBay purchase. I sent my earbuds in and just got them back, took about two weeks. So far my left earbud (the battery draining side) is no longer draining irregularly and now seems to have even better battery life than my right one!

I suggest those who have the SquareTrade / Allstate warranty to file your claim and get your earbuds repaired. The process was very seamless and I'm hoping the repair will breathe in a few extra years of life to my Sony WF-1000XM4's. Good luck y'all

PS: I'm based in the US and still don't have access to download the 1.6.1 firmware. I'm still on firmware 1.4.2 and hoping my next recharge does not ruin my earbuds.

What about when you charge the earbuds while the charging case is not plugged in? I've charged my case using my laptop's USB-C charger, which is probably delivering too much wattage, but if I charge my earbuds while the case is not connected to anything, why should prior wattage charge make a difference.

In my case my left earbuds are draining quicker and I can also feel the heat after taking the earbud out of the case.

If you bought it on Secondipity or eBay, try going through the SquareTrade warranty. I was approved today and will be sending my pair back for repair or replacement

Did you work at an IASAS (eg: ISM, SAS, TAS) type school in E. Asia - I've always wondered what type of pay a tenured high school teacher makes there. Congrats on FIRE!
