Smartwatch Suggestion - General Topics

Looking for a suggestion on a smartwatch. I'll be pairing it with an android phone(s9+ or maybe a71 in the near future) and would like to have heart rate monitor and support to recieve all my notifications would be nice. In particular I need notifications for workplace messenger by Facebook primarily. Being able to respond to notifications would be nice but not totally required. I'd like other heart monitoring functions if possible but realize I can only expect so much from a $50 smartwatch!

I'm legit curious.. Am I asking to much for $50.. I mean I can hop on Amazon and see several options that seems to fit the bill but given the nature of xda I figured I'd reach out here to see if and of the watches I had looked at might pop up in conversation. I feel like I'm asking for a reasonable trade off here in what I can or can't sacrifice, but if not, enlighten me what's reasonable to expect from a $50 smartwatch?

Maybe it would help if you gave the name and brand of the watches you are wondering about.

You do realize this thread is almost a year old?

Just saw a review of the OnePlus Smartwatch. Looks pretty solid for not much money!

Threads dead. Let's move on?

Is there a Nexus/Android timeline?

Apologies if this has been asked to death, but my phone search couldn't find it.
I'm in bed with a stinky cold and trying to solve the age-old upgrade connumdrem (nexus or gs2, nexus or gs2). Anyway, I think a timeline of release dates for Nexii/Android OS would help me figure this out, but I can't find one (please bear in mind, my brain is fried atm).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

But of course, my brain really is fried today
I was up for renewal in Aug. I asked the same questions you did. I am on US verizon. I kept looking at "Galaxy Nexus Coming soon" for months. Dare I say, I was about to go for an iphone. Looking back I'm glad I held out, but I agree, roadmaps with timelines for milestone releases would be nice. I have to do it in my business.
Thanks for that. I ended up going with yhe S2 as i think i value storage over the layest updates.
I did actually make a timeline with contract lengths & update schedules in the end and that clinched it!

Yes it does, tho the site i used (timetoast ) would be handy for a Nexus timeline.

The nexus' phones launch at the end of every year, while the Galaxy S line launches in april or june

KREYOS Smartwatch on Indiegogo

Hey guys,
I saw this smartwatch on Indiegogo the other day and I think it's pretty sweet.
http://igg.me/at/kreyos/x/2722203
Looking at the specs sheet alone its definitely something.
What do you guys think? Get it or wait till more is out?
I actually kinda like it, my only real bug with it is the proprietary watch band
I have a black pebble that I use with my s4 constantly and I'm loving it
I'd like my pebble to be more interactive and seem a little more durable
the pebble is built tough but this seems indestructible
if it's really as tough as the indiegogo post makes it out to be I feel like it'll be the only smartwatch to really compete with pebble
although sonys smartwatch 2 is gonna be totally spec'd out soon . .and apple's *supposedly . . and google's *supposedly
I went in on the Agent Kickstarter. I really like the way those guys are approaching their product.
I think the sony one would be nice. But, what about price point? I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot more than $129.
Apple's? nah. I doubt Google's going for a watch. They're probably only interested in Google Glass.
Oh I definitely saw the Agent watch. That is twice the price of any smartwatch. And I'm afraid by the time they finally made that watch, there'll be many others with the same capabilities and cheaper.
I finally went ahead and pledged for the Kreyos. In my opinion it's worth the $130 price tag it has right now. Plus it can do more and looks future proof. I have been eyeing the pebble and almost pledged for the agent but then i didnt like the fact that it only charges wireslessly.

Touchless Control using Co-Processor Bounty?

I'm not going to be so bold as to try to set this up myself. I know it's been done for several other things like the moto x bootloader. Anyway, I'm just asking if we want to get a bounty going for getting true moto x style touchless control working on the nexus 5. According to the Jerry on the Android Central Podcast, the hardware is there it's just that Google chose to use it for other things. What say you developers!!! I'll donate!!!
Though I'm not setting up an actual account (not sure how), I will track the pledges. PM me if I get too far behind.
Pledges: ($100 Total)
poke_n_pda: $20
PMentior: $10
Beachbum2049: $10
thefsfempire: $20
Techno79: $20
sarshadd: $20
I'd pledge a donation/bounty for this too.
Would love to see this feature on Nexus5
Will definitely chip in a bit
I'd chip in!
If everyone lists ammounts (unofficial till we get something set up) I'll try to keep the main post updated with names and ammounts.
I'm in for $10

Put me down for $20.
Really disappointed Google didn't even give us the option. Does anyone know if the software required for this to work is something Motorola created specifically for their device(s)?
To add a little extra info, Qualcomm even demo voice activation on their Snapdragon 800 page: http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800 (see the video "Technology that listens to you").
I'm in for $20
Posting to mark where I've compiled to.
Also, now that this has evolved a bit, can a mod remove the "?" from the title and move this to a more appropriate forum?
i'll contribute $20.

I think the dev that makes openmic+ looked into it and said he couldn't without some libraries from Qualcomm he couldn't legally get. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Yep. Look for the comment by "OpenMic+ For Google now."

There is a small discussion on what it would take to make it work, and it is no small task. Even for a big company.

this is disappointing to hear, but it also underscores the value behind getting a bounty going.

Qualcomm here confirms that tech is only available to OEMs. Samsung is the only one who implemented it so far. The rest is probably going to keep it under the wraps and release entirely new phone which is going to be OEM-ized Nexus (LG G3?) in the new "chassis" and they'll charge your arm and a leg for this "brand new, revolutionary tech".
I think I've seen this business model somewhere before.

Should I sell my OPO?

I like the phone, but I've had a lot of issues with stock and rooted apps. CS is a joke and won't give me a direct response. I need a warranty replacement. My battery is very bad, I have issues with the screen colors and delays when turning on. I have to admit I love reading web articles, but not with two hands. I don't understand, but a lot of women like that. I don't know how they actually use it, but maybe face time is just that popular now... I'm old school, I guess, I'm only 25 though. My favorite phone was the nexus S, and close was the galaxy nexus. I'm thinking about motoG, but I need 2 gigs min. I don't game, but OS eats a lot as it is, especially while using an app. What do you think? Is there a good alternative for me. 4-4.7 inch is what I'd like to have and a nice screen with good look. A good quad core is a must. Not to mention Dev support.

Wait, you're saying the phone is defective, but you intend on selling it? Who would buy a defective phone? Surely you need to disclose this information to potential buyers, or you're being dishonest. Problem is, if you are honest and disclose the appropriate information then nobody will buy it. How much have you actually done to troubleshoot the problems you're having?

Everything. Yeah, I'm not going to eat it all, because OPO gave me a bad phone and won't remedy it. I'm going to sell it cheap and buy something cheap, like a motoG. That's why I was asking...

not really they just want proofs
like for battery you can post your battery stat's, and you can ask someone to take photos of your phone, to show them your screen issues

It's pretty standard practice that they want proof of what you're claiming is wrong with the device. In this day and age it's fair for them to assume that you know at least one person who owns a camera or camera-phone. Are they just meant to take your word for it? That isn't how business works.

Looking to sell my Gear S2 Classic.

Hello,
(Mods, if this is in the wrong place, please let me know or move it.)
I'm looking to sell my Gear S2 Classic 3G.
I wasn't sure if there was a trade thread or not.
Anyway, the watch is in like new condition with no scratches on the face or bezel.
I'm selling because... well, honestly, because I baby the dang thing too much. I can't workout in it (or even incorporate it into my every day life) because I'm constantly ensuring I'm not scratching it or running it into stuff.
Anyway, I live in south Louisiana. Anyone want to buy it off me? Or know where I can sell it?
