The animations are also so much smoother.... :razz:

Seriously the work on M to bring everything up to 60FPS is in this update.

Really? I noticed a huge difference in the transition animations. I used to get jank on some of them.

The gesture based stuff was also way better.

Battery life is wayyyyy better I don't know if you noticed that. When I have my watch and phone doing nothing laying on the table you can really see Doze working.

Fair enough, battery is probably better that I didn't notice.

But i mean animation and loading wise...still not smooth enough imo.

Loading I can agree with. Nothing really better there. But the transitions are definitely smoother, its not mind blowing but it's noticeable.

Ordered the Zenwatch 3 Black though BB, debating if I want the silver one instead in 2 weeks, but with 10% off!! I am surprised that I am not able to find the Rose Gold colour anywhere, that's my preferred colour tbh.

It's been rumored, but given the slew of products we just saw revealed, probably won't see anything on a Pixel Watch until i/o 2018 at the earliest.

True, they need to start from the ground up again imo.

I hope software support is still on. I backed the ticwatch s+e project because Google invested money on them
