Your friend is mistaken.

I can easily get 2 days out of my SE2, I suspect it’d go 3 if I wasn’t doing much those 3 days.

I love my SE, the cellular stuff would be nice I guess but it’s almost unheard of for me to be without my phone and watch at the same time. The rest of the features I have no use for anyway.

There is an Apple Music app for Android, they will need to install it first then it will work just fine.

Today you learned an important lesson, make backups next time!

In theory, I’d still be wary myself.

Mine stayed at 100% for over a year and has lost about 2% a month since then, it’s currently at 88% so I’m hoping it stays there for a while.

Just the one, I usually replace them every year or so, so with every phone I’ve owned I go through 3 or 4 cases.

Never heard of this, there was a few issues with BMW wireless charging messing up the NFC sensor on newer iPhones, but that was apparently a software issue. Buy from a reputable company and I think you’ll be fine.

I know it’s IP68 certified, but I still don’t take unnecessary risks and being in a hot and steamy environment with other chemicals seems risky to me. If I’m going to be around a bunch of water, the watch stays off my wrist.

GBoard exists on iPhone too, but I can tell you it doesn’t work as seamlessly as on Pixel. The keyboard is the one weak point on the iPhone that I miss from Android.

Funnily enough, it used to be the other way around.

In a college campus I’d expect to pass dozens of AirTags since many people keep them in their backpacks (myself included). I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Replace the battery.
