    Limited smart functions with replying to messages or taking a phone call is really a no-go if you have to pay so much money for such a watch. I also cannot add my bank to this smartwatch, no LTE, all options on and about 4 days of battery life... You have made me doubt myself. :D I subscribed to you because you explain it best.

    This is not a good running watch. I mean, maybe in UK with dull light. But I live in sunshine. Wear sunglasses out running. You can't read the numbers unless you get the angle right. Returned this to get a fenix where I can get a white background/black numbers. hope it works out.

    Hello, I want this monitor for my Legion GO but I can't find anywhere what power does pass through usbc. I want to connect an 100w charger to this monitor and connect the Legion GO to the monitor and to be able to deliver at least 45w, preferably 65w. Could you please test this or confirm it if was already tested?

    If I were to get the Steam Deck, I'd probably mostly play Pinball Arcade. As several years ago, I bought all the tables on Steam as they lost the licenses, so I went ahead and bought them, though my laptop wasn't powerful enough to play it. Though I have a newer laptop that might, but haven't tried it yet. I've had Steam account for probably 10 years, though I don't really play, but I do buy games I like when they go on sale. So I may get a Steam Deck as I have a bunch of games bought but never played as I don't really like playing games on a computer.

    Glad this sort of worked out for you. It was a bit daft of you to power up while the screen was laying on the pcb. Other’s have shorted out their boards like that. regarding the play at the bottom port, you have the cable of the speaker routed poorly, but most importantly, you completely forgot to screw in the pcb to the shell. Hope that helps.

    Yeah I didn’t really think about that to be honest. I just know they always say to test the screen first, but it makes sense not to lay it on the PCB. I didn’t think I had all the right screws in all the right places. I will open it up again and sort it out. Thanks for letting me know.
