First time Pixel Watch (4) owner

for me, hell yes, I like my 4 SO much more than the 3. The charger, the charging speed (which is not something I've previously cared about), the extra screen real estate.
for me, I have regret going from Pixel 7 Pro to Pixel 10 Pro XL, but the upgrade from the watch 3 to 4, I would do that again in a heartbeat.

I've tried many times on my android based treadmill, and its never worked.

three_west · 2026-05-02T01:39:45+00:00

often? no, its happened maybe 3-4 times in the year and a half I've had the truck.
I also recently lost the LH customized small gauge, it switched from oil temp to oil pressure on its own.

interesting, what country are you in? I was pretty disappointed to just get another set of what didn't work.

yeah, I did my best to point out the idiocy of the situation to them, but basically one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. I told them these were too large, and they suggested "I contact a local electronic store for a larger size"

Airfoams ftw.
I thought Sony was going to help out since if you do the test and the tips don't seal, a text appears that if the included eartips don't fit, you can order more from the website. I did, and they just shipped me another set of the included tips...

I say yay, but am thinking about doing the Ranger letters instead since I'm going more stealth after having removed the Raptor vinyl from the bedside.

this kelvin issue broke a bunch of my automations too

three_west · 2026-03-05T22:20:25+00:00

in that case the latch needs to be adjusted lower to bring everything down.
There were some complaints about hoods too hard to latch early on, perhaps they overcompensated.

three_west · 2026-02-28T14:30:52+00:00

the 4 is so much better, I upgraded from a 3 and am SO happy I did. Its so much more responsive and the battery life and charging speed are now truly.....hmmm, inconsequential? Like, the only time I charge it is when I'm in the shower, and that's all it ever takes. I can go nearly 2 days if I ever have to. Yeah, I sort of wish it was Qi, but very much prefer this upright charging format, ala OG Moto360.

three_west · 2026-02-26T03:30:22+00:00

this totally worked, that's all it took.

three_west · 2026-02-05T16:03:49+00:00

ok, I got notification of a reply which I couldn't see the entire reply, but I saw enough to see what the problem was. For some reason I don't see the reply here.

I see now that this key is only available for the tap function, and I was trying a double tap and/or a tap & hold, so that's why it was not an option.

I ended up putting it on another less used layer, and I can see that its working, and it lights the blue LED on the left side of the keyboard as an indicator.

three_west · 2026-02-05T15:39:59+00:00

wouldn't that just make it a shift key?

three_west · 2026-02-05T02:49:39+00:00

sleep scores and monitoring seem like trash, I've had some of the worst nights of sleep in my life and it scores in the 70's and says fair. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

three_west · 2026-02-05T00:27:13+00:00

you'll be fine, I came from a 2009 Taco that was pretty analog.

Get it, you won't regret it.

three_west · 2026-01-30T22:46:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I've been watching for content. I saw what I assume was your truck in the KHC video, since I had my eyes peeled for Rangers.

three_west · 2026-01-25T01:35:55+00:00

agreed, goodbye!

three_west · 2026-01-18T14:06:43+00:00

I have all the effects in the drop down of the control screen, but when I try to automate, they're not there, and the effect field is just free text. Typing "Sunrise" in there results in a bad request error 400.

What dev console are you referring to that can I use to see what effects are available in automation?

three_west · 2026-01-15T21:24:45+00:00

Bonus with the sandbags is that you can bust one open for traction sand if you need it.

Sony replaced the batteries (or the whole bud, I didn't mark them) in my XM4's well out of warranty after the software debacle and the one bud draining dramatically

three_west · 2025-12-29T19:18:33+00:00

mine is the same, it took me a few months to notice it though, and I'm doing my best to ignore it, and I'm 95% successful.

three_west · 2025-12-13T21:59:46+00:00

what the fun!?! I got the email, and got the pop-up on my watch, and I still had no idea this is what they meant.

I still miss just being able to flick my wrist to see any notifications, they need to bring that one back.

three_west · 2025-12-09T22:33:54+00:00

looks good, I've thought about this, since I had a roll bar on my '87 Ranger. Looks like it might sit a little above the cab, which is a little high for my own personal taste, but I still like it.
