Yeap. My 41's speed has nothing to envy a Snapdragon 3100 or even 4100, both of which I own.
On that note, I wonder whether the 46, which as far as I know has the same Intel processor as the 45, is faster -- since the 46 has 1GB of RAM (same as the 41). The 3 of them have the same processor, but the 45 has half the RAM.

 

The atom processor in the 45, 41 and 46 was basically a low end laptop processor , so more than what was needed to run a watch, I believe it’s performance was software controlled to run slower to save battery, so it’s capable of much better. I have all 3 watches, the 45 is probably the most clunky thinking about it. I guess as you say due to the ram

 

I wondered more than once why TH did that to the 45. At first, I assumed it was a trade-off for making it a little smaller than the 46. But then came the smallest 41 with better specs than both (same processor, RAM as the 46, but double the storage - 8GB - of the 46 and 45)! Since then I just assumed that available technology made a leap in one year (2017 to 2018) so that they could pull that off with the 41. And I was able to sleep (But of course I might have missed something).

 

I bought the Watch Plan from my AD, which covers anything for 2 years, including band replacements annually, polishing, and accidental damage. And covers the battery replacement for 5 years.

Then on top of that, I have my watch insured for full purchase price with no deductible or depreciation.

 

Nice, may I ask what it costs and which model of the connected you have, thx ?

 

Has anyone seen available battery for the e3?
1icp5/25/26 doesn’t seem to be available anywhere. Does the battery have to be an exact match? For example any idea if 1icp5/26/26 would work?
