WHAT TO EXPECT WITH PINKY METERS?

FALLING MODEL Y PRODUCTION IN BERLIN
The Berlin Gigafactory had a goal of producing 5,000 Model Ys per week, but our German colleagues at Business Insider have discovered that output has drastically decreased in recent months. In actuality, just 4,000 copies would be produced each week. This sharp decline in production can be attributed to a staffing shortage at the Berlin factory.
SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH 6: BEAUTIFUL AND LARGE AMOLED SCREENS BUT AN EVER-RISING PRICE
Here, Samsung provides 4 watch models with interchangeable straps and dials.

We apologize that some applications can only be used with a Galaxy phone and that the autonomy is still a little limited.
