Welcome!Hello and welcome to my b:log. I'm Remy Sharp, a developer running my own business called Left Logic out of Brighton, UK. This place will mostly concentrate on web, code, a touch of business and some other personal pieces too - all available here or as a friendly RSS feed. Enjoy!
Latest: Before you buy an LTE Pixel Watch (for your teen)
The boy is 14 and regularly does long outdoor runs. He tracks his run with Strava by carrying his phone with him. But carrying a phone (because they're bulky) is a pain. He also plans to swim in the sea during summer and we've all said we don't want him having a mobile just left on the beach until he comes back in.
Mum (his, not mine) also runs and she's been caught in the past a few miles away without a phone, injured and asking a stranger to use their phone to call me for help (she was okay after some recovery).
So the agreement was that we'd try to find a smart watch that also has call and text facility (ie. LTE).
Lots of hunting around we ended up with a second hand Pixel Watch 2 and planned to add an eSIM to his existing phone plan.
You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men? Well, it goes sideways is what.
