That's also my impression. They even brag about it. They have optimized the time that it takes to find the send button (something that I will only have to do once or maybe a few times until I get used to it) at the expense of a good po

I've had a Kronaby for a few years now. The first battery lasted maybe 14-15 months, next one barely one year. Nowadays, I switch battery every 8-9 months. It's still much better than charging your watch every night/week&#x2F

Your example is excellent. I agree with you in that choosing a developer in basis to a github profile is not much different from choosing a handyman in basis to what he does in his garden on the mornings. What if there was a much cheaper an
