I tried, but I’m in a vehicle a lot, so it constantly would think I was back tapping and just didn’t work for me.

Yes. Press and hold for about 1 second and swipe to your hearts content. I actually went back and changed to the old way and I actually prefer the hold then swipe.

The Pixel has a DAC, what are you talking about?

Solar. It could extend charging time up to a week. So many competitors can go a week without charging

And another day starts with this same question. Lol

I accidentally did. It was early morning, and I didn’t have my glasses on, I wanted to shut off my watch and saw the slide prompt, I thought it was the slide to shut off, but nope. Got a quick call back and had to confirm I was not having an emergency.

An Epix can easily last a week

You can turn off most everything. I have.
