<p>> GP says its $105 in the EU<p>It's not? Maybe there is some dynamic pricing going on, but it's 79 Euro (~91.75 USD). Which would be close to the US price with Hungary's VAT (27%, which is I think the highest). Then add stuff like copying levy onto it and you'll land on roughly the same price, even with a lower average VAT. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy</a><p>Maybe they compared the model with the base to the one without? The one with base is more expensive in the US too though.</p>

<p>So Grok 4.6 is incredibly expensive in that comparison? It's double the cost of Sol 5.6 Low and still nearly double of the cost of 5.6 Medium (which scores +6% over Grok).</p>

<p>You could rephrase that again I guess:<p>"The team of AI pioneers lacks the basic prompt-writing capability to make their marketing landing page not look like AI slop."<p>I, personally, don't hate it. It's a decently clean site, but it does invoke those thoughts in me too.</p>

<p>I think they're all still without a camera. It's just an optional, detachable add-on for, e.g. the 1S. (Which is nice.)<p>But yes, they are bulky.</p>

<p>XREAL, RayNeo and there is at least one more brand that exists. You could use those for that already - though they're probably not perfect yet for that specific use case.<p>But they will come and will get better. Apple is also supposedly still working on some and they'll likely try to get rid of the "camera issue". Or maybe they'll try to make it the new normal. But they already exist and there will be more of them in the future - with and without cameras.</p>

<p>They are, they still scratch though (just google e.g. Fenix 7 Sapphire scratches). It's also not on all models. I guess part of it is also just layers on top of it scratching and not the sapphire itself.<p>But, Apple Watch Ultras and also Titanium models since Series 6? ship with Sapphire crystal too.</p>

<p>Same. Both have plenty of scratches here.<p>I also don't see why an Apple Watch wouldn't survive all those mentioned things. Pretty sure I did all those things with an Apple Watch on, except for the specific 108 mile gravel race. But I don't see why it would fail that.<p>And both might absolutely scratch while climbing, and if you're unlucky and hit it in the wrong spot, also crack.<p>That said, if I were an athlete in any of those categories and did it all the time, I'd still absolutely choose a Garmin.</p>

<p>Some good points were already brought up in the comments (IP5X, USB C charging), but I have the feeling that it's also just not a good fitness tracker/smartwatch.<p>I see a single unboxing of the watch from three weeks ago on Youtube and zero reviews on YT or websites. Just posts based on their PR release that it's available now. (Though some clearly already shipped.)<p>Thus, it's unfortunately very likely that the product is also not good at its main purpose, tracking activities, workouts and health. If it would only even come somewhat close to the performance of all the competitor smartwatches/trackers, they'd be louder about that part.</p>

<p>> Maximum weight: 2.6 tonnes<p>Wonder what the actual limit is and what happens when you're above it (and the other max. dimensions)? Couple of EVs out there that are heavier than 2.6 tonnes now. (Volvo EX90, Mercedes EQS, BMW iX,  Ioniq 9, Rivians (not yet in the UK), ... and many more right around that weight.)<p>Is it getting measured in the cabin and declines you?</p>

<p>Not sure about the rioting part, maybe in some places on earth, but I'd say the burden of additional childcare is obviously an issue. So is just missing those hours of education.<p>Which is why perhaps classes should not be suspended in most and less extreme cases, but rather adjusted. And good teachers are already doing that. (And long-term, AC has to be a thing.)</p>
