    Fitbit owners are getting frustrated with Charge 5 fitness trackers quickly losing their charge and, in some cases, exhibiting additional problems. Google has denied that the problems are tied to firmware updates. But users remain skeptical, and some are fed up with Google's limited response to a recurring problem.

    Charge 5 battery complaints

    On December 21, Fitbit announced Charge 5 firmware update 194.91 on its support forum . On paper, the update seemed typical, promising things like new clock faces, support for right-to-left text, and "bug fixes and improvements," per the release notes .

    But by early January, there were complaints on the forum from people who said they updated their Charge 5 and then saw their device's battery suddenly drain much faster. Examples include one user claiming their battery life drains from 100 percent to 0 percent in 25 minutes and others saying their Charge 5 lasts about 12 hours. Most say their Charge 5 no longer lasts for a full day despite staying powered for days between charges before the update. The problems led a user going by Ge0ffh to call his device "completely unusable."

    Just before Christmas, Apple pulled two of its latest smartwatches from stores . The cause was not an unwelcome visit from the ghost of mechanical timepieces past but the International Trade Commission, which found that the California-based computer maker had infringed on some patents. Now, Reuters reports that Apple has filed an emergency request for the courts to lift the ban and will appeal the ITC ruling.

    Apple's watch problems started back in January. That's when a court found that the light-based pulse oximetry sensor (found on the back of the watches) infringed patents held by Masimo, a medical device manufacturer also based in California.

    At the time, Apple said since Masimo was not a consumer-focused company, it chose not to collaborate or acquire the medical device maker. Masimo, for its part, said that Apple led it on in discussions then took its idea and hired away Masimo engineers.

      Apple Watch facing potential ban after losing Masimo patent case

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Friday, 27 October - 18:23

    The Apple Watch violates patents owned by California-based Masimo, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled on Thursday [ PDF ]. The federal agency issued a limited exclusion order for the smartwatches, meaning the Apple Watch is in jeopardy of an import ban.

    The ITC's ruling upholds a January ruling that found that the Apple Watch infringed on a Masimo patent. The exclusion period recommended on Thursday is supposed to go into effect after 60 days, during which time President Joe Biden can overturn the ruling. Biden previously declined to veto an ITC ruling that found the Apple Watch violated patents of a different company, AliveCor.

    The debate is over Masimo's light-based pulse oximetry. The ITC's ruling doesn't specify which watches are affected. But the first Apple Watch to feature blood oxygen monitoring was the Apple Watch Series 6, which came out in 2020.

      Apple announces the Apple Watch Ultra 2, with a blazing 3,000-nit display

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Tuesday, 12 September, 2023 - 17:38

    The Apple Watch Ultra was first announced just last year, and it brought more specialized fitness and outdoor features and a more durable, expensive design to the popular wearable. Today, Apple revealed its plans for the first refresh to the device. It's calling the new device the "Apple Watch Ultra 2."

    The Ultra 2 has the same new S9 chip as the cheaper Apple Watch Series 9 and the same new "double tap" feature, which lets you tap your fingers together to trigger an action on the watch. There's a new display that hits a whopping 3,000 nits, a jump over even the 2,000 nits in the Series 9. There's also a new "modular ultra" watchface that uses the edge of the display, support for Bluetooth cycling accessories, and ANT+ support.

    The battery is the same as last time, hitting 36 hours on a single charge and 72 hours in low-power mode.
