How about another update? If this is frowned upon, just let me know. I'll make it my final update. It may be so, anyways, because...
About a month ago, I left my watch on the charger overnight, as I had always done. I didn't wear the watch daily, and I couldn't really say how many hours I'd used it, but it was still "like new", to me.
Yet, one night I put it on the charger and the very next day, it ceased to power on. No indication of anything happening no matter how long the power button (the only button it has) is held.
A bit of reading showed this to be a common problem, and that the watch must be taken apart to disconnect the battery, then put right back together, and that should fix it. I have nothing to lose by doing so, so I plan on trying it. I will post pictures.
This is a huge disappointment. It renders the watch useless for so many people out there. Even if one does fix it, it's the hassle of even having to do so. Oh, or I believe you can pay Samsung $75 or so to do the same repair. No thanks. I'd rather shoot it than deal with paying more money to get what I was already supposed to have.
But, I'm going to fix it because the hardware is nice, and I want the Android OS rather than Tizen. Nothing against Tizen, it's just my personal preference. Hopefully I have an update within 24 hours.
