- The European Commission is pushing Apple to comply with the Digital Markets Act, aiming for better interoperability with third-party devices.
- Apple warns that these changes could compromise user privacy and security, citing risks from bad actors.
- The EC's focus includes improving connectivity features for smartwatches, headphones, and VR headsets.
- This move could allow Android smartwatches like the Google Pixel Watch 3 to work better with iPhones.
- Apple remains cautious, fearing that these regulations might hinder the introduction of new features in the EU.

Your Android smartwatch could soon work much better on iPhone, thanks to the EU

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into?

Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Mildly fit people in GV, what's your fitness regime?

Apple devices are often aspirational, and have a history of being perceived as being over-priced and over-rated products, that people only buy for flexing.

I don’t feel this way about the baseline iPhones and MacBooks - the later being the best no-nonsense personal computing device for the average person, imho.

But even after several years of them being around, I can’t see the value in paying 40-45k for an Apple Watch. (The Ultra line is different concern altogether, but also isn’t targeted at everyday users.)
It does a very limited set of things, and has an abysmal battery life.
Even the interacting is clunky and tedious.

Sure there are fun gimmicks like walkie-talkie and fitness ring leaderboards. But it doesn’t really justify the price.

A Fitbit Charge or Inspire can do good fitness+sleep tracking and basic phone+app alerts for a third of the price, or lesser.

And if you’re not big on fitness, other manufacturers have decent enough smartwatches to keep you entertained.

Even so, I’m seeing almost everyone around me getting Apple Watches lately. And I don’t get why.

Would like to hear from present/past owners of Apple Watches about their experiences. Is it a worthwhile purchase?

Hot Take: Apple Watch is highly over-rated and over-priced

Recommend a good smart watch for fitness tracking. It should look classy and shouldnt be overpriced.

Has anyone here been using Samsung Galaxy Watches? Is it worth getting one especially for fitness and sleep tracking? I see some of the health features are only available / compatible with only Samsung phones.

Has anyone with Apple Watch brought Smart Ring for health tracking ?

Looking for something for my dad, should have close to accurate readings and have a long enough battery life (he's bad at keeping stuff charged). 

Ideally within 20k. Pls suggest.

What are some good fitness trackers/smartwatches available in India right now?

I'm searching for a good smart watch within a ₹3k budget. I'm wavering between Noise and Firebolt.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

As I'm entering a new stage of life, I'm starting to reevaluate my career priorities. In my 20s, I was all about climbing the ladder and chasing prestige. Now, I'm more focused on finding work that aligns with my values and allows for a balanced lifestyle. 

Have any of you gone through a similar shift? How did it change your career trajectory? And how do you define success for yourself now versus when you first started out?
