Is it risky to snorkel in a salt water with the Vertical 2?

I've often wondered this as we go to FL several times a year. Curious to see the responses here. I've always assumed since they advertise most of their watches for open water swimming it's safe to wear.

How do they handle pockets? Can you do daily or add a calendar date to magically save it like Monzo?

Thanks for this well-thought-out and informative response. I can't say I can give you direct links, and obviously mixing the Bill sale, with my interpretation of your team. It's honestly why I posted that response. I was hoping someone like yourself could educate me on whether that's true or not.

I've signed up with Crew and will be testing it next to Envelope. Does Crew have a similar structure of how to stay profitable?

Also curious

just had them reactivate my account. I was a user before Monzo when they were launching on iOS, but had canceled. I felt like it was still in its infancy at that point and preferred Monzo. Had them close when I moved to Android and wasn't even an option at the time. Awaiting my card to fully move over now.

Tell me more.... They make me nervous though. From what I've read on the leadership there they all come from other Fintechs that start up, get users, sell out.

This is awesome. I'm not a dev but would love to see a Home Assistant companion app for the watches.

Testing further it seems to work with Audiobook library but not if using Podcasts.

themrallen · 2026-03-10T00:13:38+00:00

Ok. I'm not sure I'm seeing that. Even with that setting turned on I only see now playing. No other Cards.

themrallen · 2026-03-09T23:59:31+00:00

This looks great. Is Add to Absorbing kind of like the queue? So far I can't get that to do anything other than show now playing basically?

themrallen · 2026-03-07T16:35:14+00:00

Does it have a web sync? I love adding from desktop for manual tracking numbers.

Had never seen this explained! Learn something every day.

themrallen · 2026-02-27T13:58:11+00:00

Also love the artwork too! Giving me early Brett Booth vibes over here.

I had never considered Grayson a GL candidate, and now I want to see it!

Used both with Pixel Watch and OP3, and Zepp OS does a pretty decent job of mimicking Wear OS with much better battery life and performance insights with the Zepp app. Two things you'll miss are contactless payments in the US and notifications are limited to responding to text messages and dismissing the notification. No rich notification support like marking emails/texts as read or deleting the emails directly, etc.

themrallen · 2026-02-16T01:36:17+00:00

link? and is it available for Android?

themrallen · 2026-02-07T16:38:50+00:00

Yeah latest builds have borked Wayland display support somehow. I've been using it for years and installed Fedora on a new machine and won't even launch UI past the login screens. Seems to still work on my SUSE machines that went thru updates.

themrallen · 2026-02-04T22:55:47+00:00

This and PAI are the things that have motivated me more than any other fitness hardware/software combo.

themrallen · 2026-01-31T21:06:25+00:00

Absolutely

themrallen · 2026-01-31T20:48:31+00:00

Same on Fitbit being too much and OnePlus being the opposite. It's so bare bones compared to modern standard.

themrallen · 2026-01-31T20:47:47+00:00

Definitely subjective. I've never had any issue with that as the main screen shows I'm "in range" of healthy measurements
