My concern about the watch is that it's only one size, and it looks small on a man's wrist. I have quite big wrists, so think it would look weird on me. Wonder if a case would bulk it out a bit?

I've not checked how it compares to the gen1 watch but the g1 is borderline too small for me.

I'll be gifting my g1 to my sister-in-law.

What's the modem like on these compared to this 6 and 7?

Same modem as the 7 but a newer revision from what I can see.

3 improvements:
1. Now manufactured on newer 4nm EUV Process.
2. Received Idle Power Savings Optimisations.
3. NTN Tech (Satellite Communication) Support.

Oh sweet looks like the phones and watches should be posted soon.

I got a notification on my phone this morning through the DPD app that they had my parcel. Was wondering what for as I haven't ordered anything with DPD. I realised it must have been my Google order and it was. Hopefully they deliver tomorrow and not Tuesday or Wednesday as I'm in the office. Might have to delay delivery until Thursday if they try for Tuesday/Wednesday.

My bad. DPD said they have received the order details and are expecting the parcel shortly. Read it on my phone in bed earlier without my glasses.

It's £27 just now. Need to check my chargers and see if they'll do 30W, if not I might pick one of those up.

Still undecided on a case, would prefer something that works with a magnet but all very expensive.

£17.99

Is it the 12th yet?

I'm keeping the watch and giving it to my wife as an early Christmas present. Went for the LTE one so it's actually useful.

I’m a stickler for official stuff like cases and chargers unfortunately! Lol

I got a txt from DPD this morning to say I had 'missed' a parcel from them. I had been outside at the front door painting a handrail all morning. Not sure where the driver tried to deliver. not to me lol.

Think it was just my charger & P8pro case I missed

It's via pins for faster charging.

edit - I googled it, damn

gilljoy · 9 Oct 2023 at 08:59

Case and screen protectors have arrived. Now just to wait for the phone itself.

Freefaller · 9 Oct 2023 at 09:15

I need a really thin case - I think I'll end up doing like I normally do.. buy half a dozen until I find one I like!

I used to go bareback, and still really prefer it, but I wimp out and end up shoving a case on. Has to be see through though as what's the point in getting a phone in a funky colour if it's in a black case!
