This seems like a shitty proposition…

Some companies will make special versions for Black Friday that do indeed have cheaper parts or missing features, but for many it’s the exact same product as the normal SKU. They do the special SKU at the request of the retailer, to guarantee that no one can use a “price match guarantee” to make them sell more than the planned quantity of door busters.

I bought a second PTS back in the day, and kept my original as a backup. I just recently had to switch back to it because the daily driver couldn’t hold a charge anymore.

I tried looking for a replacement smart watch that could do the things I need it to do, and there’s still not one on the market at any price point that can do

• Always-on color display
• 7+ days between charging
• Notifications with full messages on the watch
• Ability to respond to messages from the watch via both canned responses and voice dictation
• Smart alarms (activate up to 30m before alarm time, if watch detects you’re no longer in deep sleep)
• Customizable watch faces
• Ability to develop custom watch apps
