      I understand that some of you actually keep your devices for longer than 3 years but majority will be upgrading every year and/or second year because by the 3rd year hardware will be already outdated anyway. So I see no problem here imho. 3 years should be minimum, anything above that is a nice-to-have.

          No apple watch received more than 5 years of updates.

            As usual Google embarrasses themselves in terms of software support and kudos to Samsung for stepping up their game.

              Google really needs to get their 💩 in place. I'm not gonna praise Apple as the perfect company but at least you know what you're getting and they won't screw you on software updates. Having shorter support than other OEM is insane and the price for value vs the Galaxy watch is abysmal. Any reason to buy the Pixel watch with huge bezels since most people have Samsung and not Pixel?

                Pathetic. I hope EU will enforce those 5 years of updates quickly. But to be honest it should be 10 years or more. We don't need all that electro-waste.
