Can we talk about the 'battery calibration' myth for smartwatches?
My Garmin Venu 2's battery life tanked to under a day after a year, and every forum said to do a full drain and recharge to 'calibrate' it. I tried that three times and it made things worse. Finally, I called support and the tech told me that's bad for modern lithium batteries and to just do a normal charge cycle. After a week of normal use, it's back to its old 4-day life. Has anyone else had a gadget where the common 'fix' online was totally wrong?

Wasn't that an old phone thing?

Ancient history is right. I feel old just remembering the sound of a dial-up modem connecting. My first phone had an actual cord that would stretch across the kitchen. Now if my phone takes two seconds to load a video, I'm ready to throw it out the window. We've gotten way too spoiled.
