    The Pixel Watch 2 might get a new way to tell time.

    According to 9to5 Google, you’ll soon be able to tap the Pixel Watch 2 and it’ll tell you the time through vibrations. There are two modes — one that tells you the hour and minutes via varying vibration lengths, and another that rounds the current time to the nearest quarter hour.

    I’m eager to try it whenever it officially rolls out. It could be helpful for folks with low-vision, and it’s always good to have discreet ways to tell time without being rude.

    San Diego police would rather Vision Pro users cross streets ‘the old-fashioned way.’

    Since the Vision Pro launched, we all knew intrepid first adopters would take the headset into the real world. However, the San Diego Police Department issued a safety reminder on Instagram that perhaps not every situation is suited for mixed reality.

    “Keep those virtual experiences on the sidewalk, folks, and let’s cross streets the old-fashioned way — with our eyes wide open to the real world, unobstructed and without distractions!”

    Nobody tell them about the dude wearing the Vision Pro in the Cybertruck.

    Don’t mess with Peloton fans — GymKit is here to stay.

    A few days ago, Peloton announced it was getting rid of GymKit support for the Apple Watch on its Bike Plus. Technically, Peloton had already introduced a separate Apple Watch integration two years ago. But GymKit was originally a selling point for the more expensive bike, and removing it ticked off the company’s loyal users. Now, Peloton says that they heard the feedback “loud and clear.” GymKit ain’t going anywhere.

    Google’s launching a Pixel Watch 2 mail-in replacement service.

    If you’ve got a broken Pixel Watch 2, you can now skip the customer support process to get a discounted replacement. All you have to do scroll down the Google Store site and click Repairs. You should see a form. Fill out the information requested and select the mail-in option when it appears.

    This is an improvement over Google’s previous Pixel Watch repair policy, but still has some holes. First-gen Pixel Watches aren’t eligible, and this service is only available in the US and EMEA.
