    There was a post a couple weeks back of next wear OS update utilizing alow power processor for compatible watches, pixel ones and Samsung ones prior have this core, more than it’s currently used with battery life expected to double from it. Makes me wonder if this 50% improvement is mostly the OS update or the new processor.

      I saw that. It’s one of those stories where I feel like I need to see a real-life product showing improvements in real world use. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but us software developers have a bad habit of squandering performance.

        Doesn’t that exist in the OnePlus Watch 2? The new Wear OS “hybrid interface” is the reason its advertised “100 hour battery life” is significantly better than the first one.
