if you have any question ask me.

I was going to get it, but the chance of me getting it now is @ about 10% now. I wanted to buy it so that I wouldn't have to take my phone out to skip a track or something. But since I have a Bluetooth set now, I don't really have a need for it.

hahaha !
I just do not want to wait:silly:
But I wanna tell you I have a Sony smart watch and compare to Pebble the Sony is terrible !
-I can't just plug the charger cable and charge Sony smartwatch. It's connecting/reconnecting., so I need to find good position for stably charge. (maybe my unit is defective).
-The sony belt is always dirty and dusty. Always.
-The screen is got a bad responding to fingers. (I know how to fix it. You need to press and hold then it will work, but it's stupid)
-Bad on sun-light.
-Battery is bad. I need to charge them every 2 days. Because after 1 day I have a half charge. (and I don't want to risk, so I charge every day.)
The design is not comparable with Pebble.
I was surprised when I saw how it looks on hand. Very solid man.

The Pebble is not using the BT 4.0 BLE, right?
I would like to buy a Casio GB-6900AA but it connects only with BLE compatible devices...

Black seems like a wise choice.
Do you think it's possible to customize with other types of straps?
What would you say the gap is aprox. (where the strap goes through)?

Yeah, the creators of Pebble already confirmed that you can use other straps.
Check out the forum @ getpebble dot com.

Does it work with a bluetooth headset connected (to the phone) at the same time? If both have play/pause/skip buttons etc..
Has anyone tried?

Yeah that should work without a problem. Each device has his own ID and from each ID the phone will receive it's commands.

Looks cool..... not sure if i need a Smartwatch... i normally don't wear watches. Tough i like tech gadgets

Be aware that you can't get it in germany, import is not allowed (zoll).

this seem cool but man do i wish it has the weather function on there and wifi.

It doesn't have wifi since it works with a BT connection.
Weather function to do what? Your phone could send that info to your watch tho, so the watch won't need such thing by itself.

weather on the screen with time...I really dont see why to buy this at all, I thought hard about 2 weeks and I see no functionality for it. I am either going to be with my phone or too far away for bluetooth to work so why bother.

Sony finals responds to missings features on sw2

well sort of... it's really kind of sad
https://www.facebook.com/sonymobile/posts/10151999772368390

they gave me the same answer, no response when i mentioned the lack of watch faces and not being able to set the screen timeout
Sony = a waste of time, so it seems, sadly

You should change the misleading title to 'Sonys usual, treat the user like they dont know how to turn the watch on' response.
Rather than answering the clear question regarding missing features that were advertised.

well... Sony broke me down, sold the SW2 on craigslist tonight and bought a pebble.. been happier with this after an hour of ownership that the last 6 months combined trying to finagle the mn2 and sw2 to do what I wanted.
Goodbye Sony.

I am also going to sell it... This is frustrating...

Thats the point; I certainly have had no sensible responses from Sony support, just generic fob offs.
I'm sticking with it for a little longer, in the hope they open the sw2 to devs...

I wish I was more tech savvy. I would totally dev this

Sony should just open up the firmware, they'd sell a lot more of those watches
i mean, what do they care what we do with those watches, as long as they can sell them

Well.. Sony's support is really lackluster. What did I do? I bought a galaxy gear, rooted and installed the null rom, and now i can do so much more compared to my Smartwatch 2 could ever do. Just wondering if i should sell it or not, I still like its design and would like to see improvements from Sony.

still absolutely digging the pebble... and best part? i can actually look forward to the 2.0 firmware coming out

way too much bezel on those. Plus the screen doesn't fit in with the overall look of the watches. And I think their user interface is going to be more of a hindrance. I don't see why all these companies seem to think gesture-based user interfaces are 'intuitive' and 'natural like'.
I really thought Sony would get it right this time when they were showing the Smartwatch 2 before release. But it looks like they screwed the pooch yet again. At least Samsung is consistently improving the Gear, despite a rocky release, and who knows what they plan to do in the future (open it up to other devices?), but for Sony to be in stealth mode all this time is unacceptable for a large corporation.

Gear has proved to be such a flop that Samsung is likely going to show the Gear v.2 at next CES in Las Vegas in January.

Sony has today updated the Smartwatch 2 SW2 App, it now has alot more watch faces. I noticed a new stopwatch app as well, and a choice to let the display brightness be adjusted according to surrounding light.

I never said the Gear was selling well, and to clarify, I don't own one. I went with the Pebble this round after backing Kreyos and then backing out after months of radio silence to finally being told there was a delay. Before backing the Kreyos, I was eyeing the Sony, but the wife didn't like the look of it (screen too big) and I was getting antsy after no US release date. The Pebble is good enough for me until things like battery life, thickness, etc get sorted out on these "smarter" smartwatches.
I'm just saying, at least Samsung is *trying* to make an effort, as opposed to Sony. I mean, was today's update even announced? Any change logs aside from Play Store? They are basically ignoring customers and just tossing them a bone every once in a while to act like they care.

Android Wear: Discussion [OPEN TO ALL]

Google has officially announced that it plans to extend Android to other wearable devices beyond Google Glass, and it’s starting with smart watches.

Motorola has already announced their Android smartwatch, the Moto 360, which the company says will launch this summer.
A site to sign up for the developer preview of the platform is now live. The preview promises to allow devs to run Android Wear in an emulator and connect it to a device to see how Google-based “cards” like those in Google Now will look on the platform.
The UI overview on the developer site, cards take up the entire screen real estate on a watch, and vertical swipes move between cards, while side-to-side swipes bring up more information. Tap-able buttons may also appear on the cards to take further action on a notification.
Saying “OK, Google” or clicking on a “g” on the screen opens a menu screen called a “cue card” with a list actions like “take a note,” “send a message,” “set an alarm,” or “call a cab.”
Mountain View does say that Google gear for your wrist is in the works :
"We’re also already working with several consumer electronics manufacturers, including Asus, HTC , LG, Motorola and Samsung; chip makers Broadcom BRCM , Imagination, Intel, Mediatek and Qualcomm; and fashion brands like the Fossil Group to bring you watches powered by Android Wear later this year."
Here's the Android launcher for trying it on your device : Download Link
Instructions :
Install as normal APK
Launch the app while having pending notifications to see it's real use
Screenshots :

It looks real beautifull, Can't wait for it to be released!
Thanks for sharing this btw.

Any guesses of the price? Google always seems to put up a good price, just wondering what you guys estimate it to be around

$250 to $350 to start. Same as Qualcomm TOQ.
But there WILL be upscale models, for the "10%", as well as the "1%" who love to spend the money they got from we "99%".
There will be MotoX like customizations for bands. The "10%" might upgrade to cases with precious metal content. And the "1%" will add diamonds and other stones for sure, with light sources below for extra twinkle. And the celebs will sell ad space on their wearables, LOL. The 99% will trade free Google services for the low brow ads, ROFL. And ad based watches will eventually be "free".

somewhere there was a list with the price of each component in a mobile phone.
cant find it but lets see this list of components inside a nexus 5
take out everything thats not inside these watches...
aw well.. look at the current smart watches on ebay...
i guess around 50-200€

really excited !!!!!!!!!
you know what I would buy the moto 360 , the day it launches
it will be so cool to have that tech at your disposal, ......
but guys any rough guesses , about the price. ?????

So how will this hookup with the phone? My fear is that this will drain the battery on both the watch as well as the phone.

The connection will be over Bluetooth 4.0, Low energy Mode, I guess. It won't drain your battery on both ends, watch and phone.

I like to see sony as first.
But it might not happen.
however I believe sony will develop another awesome smart-wearable-gadget powered byAndroidWear
:good:

this is what im talking about!
this thing looks rad.
im gonna guess 500-600 for it
it looks nicer than others i have seen:good::good:double thumb up

For how little these do, they are more expensive than I want to pay.

This will help you getting information like real-time speed, directions, and time on your wrist when you’re out for a walk or run. I just can't wait to have it. Go Google! I wrote an article on my blog techwarn.com about Android wear. You can check it.

In my opinion, Motorola 360 is going to be the best choice in cuality/price/desing wereable.

Does anyone want to guess how much the moto 360 will cost. Some of the estimates I saw said at least $300 and likely even $400..

Hi,
i think the price between $300 and $500 is ok for this cool gadget

Thanks alot

[Discussion] What smart accesorry will you get next? E.g. Watch, glasses, etc

Since there is NO single thread in General forums solely dedicated this question to what Android Wear device you would buy and why, I took the liberty to post this thread, as most other "consolidated" threads are talking about phones in the main.
Try doing a Android wear search and you will not find a proper thread discussing what Android wear will you buy? Hence this thread
We have so many Android wear devices out there to accessorise our smartphones, that now they are gaining ludicrous amount of attention in the world.
Although the android wear market share is a paltry estimated value of US$1 billion compared to the smartphone market which is in the hundreds of billions. It still deserves attention for its massive growth in recent years.
Not ranked in any order, the more popular companies producing Android wear (including other smart watches) are as follows:-
1. Sony
2. Motorola
3. Pebble
4. Samsung
5. Meta
6. Martian
7. Garmin
8. Google
9. Apple Watch
Of course there are more but basically these are the few I have read about with above average reviews.
Choose yours!!!

I already own 4. The Metawatch (Frame), a Pebble, a 1st gen Gear and the G Watch. I was waiting for the 360, but got a great deal on the G on Swappa and couldn't pass it up and I'm glad I didn't. For all the hype and circlejerking beforehand about how killer it (the 360) was going to be, the reality seems to be a huge letdown, especially in terms of battery life.
I use my Metawatch the least and probably the Pebble the most, though I am very happy for now with the G... It may become my new favorite. If the price is right, I MIGHT get the LG R around Christmas time.

Despite the first impression rants:
It's uglyyy!!!
Rubber everywhere!!!
Another generic square android wear device!!!
Childish!!!!
_______
It you take a look about the potential and features, the most interesting smartwatch with android wear is by far, the Sony Smartwatch 3.
The first with IP68 (you can swim with it).
The first with GPS and music features independent of the phone.
The first with transflective screen for much better visibility with sunlight.
It's the first android (wear platform) smartwatch you can take anywhere without your phone for sporting activities. The design is sportive, not childish. You can sweat with it comfortably.
And the potential is because the extra features (bluetooth music and GPS tracking) will be done with sony apps at the beginning, but Google said these features will by supported natively in future versions of Android Wear.
So, be careful now, because I'm pretty sure, all the android wear watches next year will have these features and every watch in first generation will be quicky obsolete.
So my first watch in my radar is the Sony. And you may understand it in my perspective. I like sport and I have the MOTOACTV. Great concept and features, but so ugly and so terrible battery life that I only wear it when I run.
So the Sony is the first I consider to be the NEXT.

I do not own any android wear devices (as in Android Wear Platform) as yet.
The only other accessory I have is a Pebble (which is not android wear platform )
I am however very interested in getting either an Android Wear watch or the google glass (if it becomes better)
I think the recent designs have improved by a huge margin, no matter how rectangular or squarish they look.
As for the Moto 360, it looks very good, in fact if it has a Chronograph like Bezel on it, it will definitely be a sealed deal for me. As for the dismal battery life many have reported, I am not too worried, I will switch to my Pebble
LG G round looks as good as well.
Except for a very small handful of Smart Watches out there, the rest looks like their hastily put together while trying to cram everything into a small device.
Just waiting to see Samsungs Rounded version and what others will come up as well.
I do not know if they do actually liaise with any big watch manufacturers, but they can do well to learn from designs from Panerai, U Boat, or those excellent looking top labelled brands. Since most of the watches they produced are BIG, goes to say you can stuff more goodies under the hood.
Of course thats my preference.
Cheerios

I've got my eye on the ASUS ZenWatch, or I will when it comes out. The pictures I've seen make it look like an attractive device and the reviews have been positive.

I'm actually waiting for an android wear with wireless charge and square display.
No preferences for now

I've got a galaxy s5, and a pebble. Id love to try the galaxy gear

more reading up made me realise one thing
the Moto 360 is compatible with ALL QI standard wireless charging devices, WOOTZ I got a portable QI charger .. mahahaha .. maybe worth considering getting the Moto 360 then

I use my Gear Live a lot, get new feeds from Appy Geek 15 or 20 times, dozens of emails, messages, weather alerts.
For the most part 6am to 10pm is ok but I like to get a watch that can under heavy use get me from 6am to say 4am the next day.
The only watch that promises battery life is the Sony watch.
If it really has much better battery life I may buy it, but I will see.
Childish? Only people that look at watch a say Childish are childish. These watches are not cheap knock offs that we use to get for $5, yes I am not 100% happy with the way the Sony Watch looks but since I use it working out it look very functional.
I care more about battery life than looks, I think Motorola the soon to be Chinese company just does not get it.

China does have some ridiculously weird and funky smart watches, some I daresay are nice, but not sure what platforms they are using.
As for battery life, I am not sure about the rest of the community, but I carry around a 8400 mAh battery pack made in China with QI standard which is still working flawlessly since last year. I hardly use the QI as the USB ports charges much faster (there is a 1amp and a 2amp port), got the QI just as a "show off" gimmick the initial few days when I showed family and friends, otherwise it is not practical to use on the move.
So for me battery life in current Smart watches is not too much of a concern, as I carry the pack around, of course my wrist does feel a little naked the few occasions my pebble is sent for charging in my bag, its nothing I can't live without

By features, i dare say the Sony SW3 will be more future proof. But if we just wait a bit, perhaps all SWs will sport the GPS and bluetooth music by Q2 2015.

i want samsung
now i own the HTC, i want to buy the samsung next time

Gear s2 3G compared to Apple Watch size-wise.

This is not meant to be a full comparison here. Just was in my local ATT store today and put one on next to my Apple Watch to see how it compares size wise. Here are the pics.

As you can see, the thickness of the Gear S2 is for real. More than the Apple Watch even, at least eyeballing it. And it was pretty heave on the wrist too. However, this may have been related to the security device that was attached to it as well. The speaker on it was decent. I turned on some Samsung tunes with it and turned it all the way up and could hear it pretty clearly in the crowded ATT store. Functionality is basically the same as the non-3G version of the watch that I have for now.
Still torn on weather I wanna stick with this, or go with the LG Urbane 2nd generation.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks hideous! Maybe it actually looks better than your top picture? Was gonna run up to my local at&t store today, now definitely will to see for myself.

yeah the Urbane LTE is thick, but since it is larger overall, it probably won't look as weird.

Exactly my thoughts. I think it will hide the thickness better because the lugs and band are bigger too.

Even? Of course it's more than the Apple Watch. Apple Watch is thinner than a lot of smart watches..
Apple Watch - 10.5mm
LG Watch Urbane - 10.9mm
Gear S2, Huawei, Moto 360 - 11.4mm
Gear S2 3g, 13.4

That is just the case though, Apple is kind of being disingenuous about the real thickness of the watch which is 12.46 mm including glass and sensors:

Too bad! I've been waiting for a while for the gear s2 3G to show up, but as everyone can see, it is NOT worthy at all. Look at the thickness of the normal Gear S2.
The normal one is beauty, but it doesn't have a speaker. The second one is ugly af, but DOES have a speaker.
Conclusion: Wait for LG Watch Urbane 2... 1 week ago or so I was happy knowing that i'll buy the gear s2 3G sometime soon, guess i'll just stick with something else. Too bad, it was too good to be true...

just dont wear it under a long sleeve dress shirt, and it will be just fine..

It's not that bad. It's not really noticeably bigger/thicker than a normal 42mm watch (ex rolex)

Just went and checked one out at my local AT&T ... it's DEFINITELY bulkier, and it's extremely noticable, I had every intention of going 3G version, but it literally looks like you have a mini cereal bowl strapped to your arm and I'm a big dude and it still just looked big, bulky, stuck out too far and overall just kinda dumb looking, if I went straight from the Gear S then maybe I wouldn't notice, but after having the S2 reg version, the 3G looks like crap, can't say it's really the thickness that ruined it, it's more about the contoured bottom they put on it, that's what makes it look weird.
My 2 cents ... but I guess I'm gonna go ahead and just stick with my non smartwatch looking, sleek beautiful Gear S2 BT. .. damn Samsung lol

Nah, we were kind of in and out, spent about 10 minutes with the wife looking at it and both of us trying it on, she's petite and she has a S2 BT that she loves and looks good on her, but when she tried this is just looked ridiculous, can say the same for me as a big guy though, just looked really odd and bulky and even one notch below what I would put to fit me properly with a little extra space it still felt like the edge of the bottom was poking into my wrist bone, the way it's shaped and the edge around the bottom contour aren't confortable, from straight on it looks good, but from the sides it looks like a dolls bowl on your arm, feels heftier which was a concern, feeling cheap or something from the added plastic but I can say I didn't feel that was an issue, but everything else was.
I'm 90% sure at this point I'm not gonna bother with the 3G version and the 3G was all I wanted and just 1 try on turned me off of it.
I wanted the GPS for when I bike or hike, but my S6 Edge+ in a book bag will work fine for those days, and same with the speaker function, man do I miss that feature lol and there will be times I'll keep missing it (quick answering at work or while driving) but for the rest of the time I can grab my phone, and when I'm walking, biking or hiking I'll just wear my BT headphones as I would anyway ... I'm definitely sad the 3G doesn't seem to be what I hoped but if it was never an option the BT model is a win regardless.
But again I'm only 90% sure it's not for me, I might go grab one after release and give it a real world run, or maybe not. But I figured I'd give my 2 cents on it, they seem to be at every local AT&T so if anyone has any doubts definitely go play with one.
