Great review stickyasglue.
Recently purchased the red, blue, & white covers. At this price you are not going to get the same quality control as you would with an original, but great if you want to preserve your original for re-sale.

I'd love to see a replacement that uses a decent material, to get away from that cheap plasticy feel on the phone. Does anyone know of one?
AAwwww.. this guys said he doesn't ship to Asia. I wonder why.. can't he just state the charges accordingly?
I gotta find alternate sources

sorry to tell you that there is nothing wrong with the phone, based on your photos it looks like all of the other sensations. the brown that your seeing on the clouds is just their shading effect. unless you see the brown hue on everything then your just an ahole. don't forget to thank

There is a similar thread already, but the OP over there can't add a poll
Here is a poll , just for fun and the curiosity
Here you got a small video comparison till this beast hit the showrooms:

That video is what sold me on black. The horizontal bands don't appear to be as prominent as the grey was on the Note 2.
But you didn't vote :laugh:

Yeah, I was going to get the white one until I seen that same video. The phone looks like color with the screen off, which I like.
I just think it's a shame, they didn't start with blue or red instead of that pink..
Perhaps they know better .... nah .......

It's only 12 votes so far, but I think the preference is already clear..
Can't imagine any other color catching up ....
.
I wish there was a grayish/silver color with a dark gray bezel, just like on my Titanium Note 2
But Jet Black will do ....
.
.
i went with the Jet Black as well...
Not a big fan of white phones, remind me of iphones and give apple fanboys another reason to say samsung copies apple. I wish samsung would do away with the white and do a nice slate/gray instead. Heck they got pink so why not....
My note 2 is white and i love it so note 3 also will be on white...
I had a white Note 2 and currently own a white S4 and white Galaxy Camera. I think they look really great but I fancy a change now and black looks better with the leather effect. I also think you get better screen contrast with the a black bezel.
I'm getting a black one.
Reason: It's black
I see that 5 ladies voted...
Just joking :laugh:
.
Black for me. After seeing that video, I just think it looks better in black than in whit or pink.
The Galaxy Gear is Mocha Gray...
Since I am not in hurry of buying the Note3 ( eventually I will), I hope that till then there will be a Gray kinda of Titanium colored Note3 too ...
.
Black or darker bezels are way cooler
The back cover usually gets a case anyways
Does the black actually help to set the screen apart from the bezel as the video stated?
I'm really divided between black and white, and I'm trying to find a good reason to choose one over the other.

Black creates a better contrast against all the bright colors (this is why the display on white phones pop more when the screen is OFF). It makes the display pop more. The "black" however is not really a black. It's a darker grey-scale color than the titanium note 2, with the same horizontal striping but not as prominent. No doubt it will make the display pop more than white though. In light, the white is conceptually brighter than the display.
Hi all,
I'm continuing to keep myself busy creating more custom watchface designs whilst I'm in between jobs and am keen to get your feedback on the following animated gears/cogs watchface design that I created. I'm quite happy with the end result and am keen to make some more but before I invest more time in them I'd like to know what you think? I believe it's the first of its type for the Sony SmartWatch 2 as it runs as a proper low-power enabled watch/clock widget rather than an app.
Video of the animation (only whilst the screen of the watch is on):

No links posted as it will be one of my paid watchfaces as I've spent a lot of time working on this one (...and I don't have a job at the moment so every little bit helps...)
All feedback welcome! (don't forget to vote in the poll at the top of the page)
Excellent work dude. Marvelous Would you be able to make the watch face little smaller at the bottom or on the top so that other widgets like battery and weather can also be added or is it easy to embed them in your watch face?

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've had this type of feedback from a few people about all of my watchfaces. Unfortunately with the relatively low resolution of the Sony SmartWatch 2 screen (220x176) it doesn't do well in displaying my watchfaces when scaled down to smaller sizes. Even when it takes the full 5x5 grid I need to do a lot of tweaking to get it to display clearly to make the watchface actually functional (i.e. you can read the time and the date). In terms of embedding widgets into the watchface - this isn't something that I know how to do as it is beyond my technical coding capabilities. For the meantime I suggest that people install the hack so that they can overlay other widgets on top of the watchface.
Originally I felt that it would be cool to have lots of the widgets on my watch, but after a while I realised that I didn't really need them as I could always turn the watch on to access the apps. I found that they cluttered the screen and detracted from being able to see a nice watchface design. That's why my watchface designs are based mostly on utilising the full 5x5 grid size.
Thanks for the immediate response dude. After reading your message, I now started to realise that I don't really use all the widgets as you said. All we need is a good looking watch face that make our watch looks great and is not memory or battery hungry. I will look forward to see the final version of your watch face to buy. Good luck with the project.
Does it use animated gif?

Hi, no unfortunately not else that would open a lot of opportunities. It's manually coded in to rotate the gears.
That's great idea :good:
let me guess, you've used the seconds view to make the gears movable

Yep exactly right! You can potentially use this technique to do other types of animation.
Seems pretty neat dude, Ill definitely have to check this out
Like it, I'd purchase but it would have to look bigger. Wouldn't be interested in using any widgets with that watch face so make it bigger. Lose the border & push it out to the edges of the screen & you've got a sale.
Julian, great design, just purchased design #1, which was my wife and daughter favorite. One request? Would it make the hour and minute hands easier to see with a bit darker outline? I realize complications like open face are usually harder to read and the SW2 screen isn't very sharp by design, but it may still make it easier to see the hour and minute hands to tell time. Just a thought, and again, thanks for making the watch even better!

I've just rolled out an update to the white and the black versions of this watchface to make the minute and hour hands easier to read. Hope this helps!

When you say lose the border, do you also mean the border that currently has the roman numerals in it? I can make the hour markers float on top instead...

For example the gold style. Remove the gold border around the edge & push the minute/seconds markers right to the edge of the screen.
+1 from me!

Hi, I haven't yet worked out how to do digital watchfaces yet. It's on my to-do list so don't worry it'll come eventually
Testing is closed as I have enough data for this update. Thanks to everyone who tested
This is one of my little apps that add a battery bar around the notch of a phone. I have ported the feature to the S10 and S10+. Please try it out
The trial version link.
The pro version link
The graphic is off the right hand side of the screen. I can only see it when the width is increased all the way.
---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------
Switching resolution to 3040x1440 brought it out to where it should be. But the alignment is off. Is just a few pixels low. The top starts a few pixels below the cutout.
I'll find a phone to take a photo for you
How does it supposted to work on S10's? It creates the notch in place without the notch and afais I can't even make it flat, narrow bar/line because it's crashing the app.
Would be nice to have it around the camera holes

As mentioned in the OP, it's still not ready for the S10s.

Here's a screenshot of the options
But why
I would like to see some kind of option that allows for a charging LED as well.
A simple pulsing animation added to it while it is charging would help too.
If you could also add the ability to use the mod regardless of background (this could even be a premium feature), that would be awesome!
The "bubble" seems to fit well around the S10+, I can't tell if it needs adjusted just a tad more to the right or not though, I downloaded the app when some battery was already used so I will have to wait until I charge again to make sure that the 100% fits the notch well.
S10+ here i will be able to do testing for you
LOL, i left a review asking for S10+ compatibility on the 14th and you opened this thread the day after! Good work!
I'm trying it right now, it work, the only "serious bug" seems to be when you change the height, it increase only under the cut out, i think it should increase above and under it (Like when you change width, it change both sides).
Also, the bubble it's not really centered to the cut out, it look like a pixel or two under the exact position (i attach a really bad photo, i took it with the front camera of an iMac, sorry!)
+1 for custom wallpaper (also as a paid feature), i really love the wall-e and eve's one!
I'll test if you need a tester

Ok, now it's almost perfect, i think the last touch to reach the perfection would be the corners a little bit more rounded.
I attached a better quality picture.

Thank you so much, Will try to match the edges.
So I've been messing around with it a little and it's nice, but if I set the width or height to the lowest the app crashes.
When will the pro version include S10

Hi Dev, great job! One request is to make width/height movable with arrows too, just like with the positioning. The sliders are very sensitive and it takes quite a while to position the cutout perfectly.
