[IDENTIFY] Watch worn by Paul McCartney (not the Aquanaut)

[IDENTIFY] Watch worn by Paul McCartney (not the Aquanaut)

EDIT - Thanks to a pointer for a Calatrava below I think I may have identified it as the Patek 3445, opinions ?

We always see him wearing his Patek Aquanaut (since around 2011 at least) so I was surprised to see him wearing another watch in the recent "Lost Bass" documentary. A classic gold three hander that I'm not able to identify (it looks like an old 14k Elka I have !).

Here are some captures :

Garmin FR965 : "gesture" implementation (turns screen on/off) massively annoying during activities ? Same on all OLED watches ?

Upgraded from the Venu 2 to the FR965 a couple of years ago and found it has a very annoying implementation of the "gesture", flip towards you and it turns on, flip away and it turns off...for "Smart Watch" use it's ok (although unneeded) I suppose but for activities it's a MASSIVE annoyance as any little "bump" will turn off the screen immediately after you've flipped it towards you to turn it on. When you're running this happens all the time and you have to strain to not move your arm. While it's manageable to just view the screen (if you're ready to flip several times to see what you need), forget about doing anything more advanced like changing screens or scrolling the map !

I've sent several requests to Garmin support that stayed unanswered of course but I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one to have a problem with this implementation as it's likely the same on all the "premium" watches ? Can anyone confirm ?

PS - The screen of the Venu 2 and the backlight of the old MIPS watches just stayed on for 4/8/12 seconds, should be possible on the premium watches !

Relaunching a killed app ?

For some reason the (Xiaomi) MiHome keeps getting killed on the old Moto G4 phone I use to send emails on some notifications with Macrodroid so I'm trying to use Macrodroid to relaunch the app if it gets killed and I did find a Trigger for "Application Closed" but that seems to mean "no longer in the foreground" not actually killed so I can't have anything in the foreground apart from the app.

Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do ? Thanks !

I recently got a Prestige 14 A10SC and it's working fine but I notice some TPL throttling (15 watts) under load. This review https://www.laptopspirit.fr/262582/test-msi-prestige-14-a10sc-core-i7-hexa-core-et-gtx-1650-dans-un-ultrabook-14-pouces-de-13-kg.html shows a Sport setting in the Control Center that apparently unlocks the TDP to 35 watts instead of 35 watts but I don't see it in the latest version of "Creator Center" or an old one from 2020 (same interface as below) I found on Reddit here https://www.reddit.com/r/MSILaptops/comments/hwj5ms/comment/fz3c6i6/

Does anyone have that Sport setting ? Thanks !

Been using Insta360 Studio to some simple edits and it works well, the only slight annoyance is that it sets the default length of photos to 15 seconds, which I find to be way too long. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to change the length automatically or even batch edit it. Anyone know of a way to do that ? Thanks !
