Anyone already importing the LG G watch? biggrin.gif

Not yet start selling, pre-order started and shipping on 7th July, if you're in Google Play store countries.

Sony's Smartwatch 2 is tempting but not sure if its a good choice.
i mainly use it to check notifications and switch songs but must survive water splashes.

Pebble can do all these easily and with one week battery life, water proof and not expensive.

researched about Android Wears but the features seems overkilled. sweat.gif
anyway, i think G Watch should be IP57/67 rated, just cant find any spec sheets on the site.
*
Snapdragon 400 ( unknown number of core, running at 1.2GHz ), 512MB RAM and 4GB storage,
1.65" IPS ( 280 x 280 ), 400mAh, IP67,
running Android OS, supported Android 4.3 and above, standard 22mm strap.

Not confirmed, but if not mistaken, ALL android wear must be water proof.

seems like most of those android wears come with dock for charging. sweat.gif
one of my concern is it will be hard to find the dock or will be more expensive for a replacement.
*
It's one of the disadvantages for water proof.
Moto 360 rumored to have wireless charging capability, as earlier there's leaked docs of wireless charger made for Moto 360.

wish they could design the same as Sony, using a flap covering the port.
*
QUOTE(NightFelix @ Jul 1 2014, 07:04 PM)
flap is not consistent for long run. Wireless Charging is the future.
*
Flap, freakin-super ugly and bulky. And what if you forgot to close properly, or plastic got loose, your device died.

i dont think flaps will make it look bulky. anyway, i dont think one will ever forgot to close the flaps as there should be a weird feeling touching your wrist if the flap was opened.

just an idea btw.
*
Flap cant be too thin, else will lost it's functionality of sealing port, and water resist flap had to be fit tight enough to be functional. Flap might not design at bottom or something that you will definitely felt it, top or side is so easy to forget about it.
Just my two cents.

Samsung Gear Live vs LG G watch in dimmed screen ( idle mode )

Gear Live shows trimmed down watchfaces, while G watch watchfaces remain same, in idle mode.

LG G watch global available soon.
There's mentioned of Singapore, so if ( touch wood ) LG Malaysia decided to disappoint us again by not bring in demanded products, at least there's Singapore, so AP set should be available quite soon.

SlimWear or ParanoidWear, anyone ? While Google said no oem skin in Android Wear, developer community comes to rescue for those like customization or just plain hand naughty.
Sounds awesome to me!

Thanks to a good friend, my LG G Watch shipped out from US, should be here the earliest on Friday, the latest on Saturday.

Purchased from Google Store online, shipped to New York and reshipped out.

Presumably first G watch user in Malaysia then. You sure got string (if you know what I mean).

yea. If u have the money, juz go for Moto 360. Damn classy look, plus wireless charging. But it'll be more pricey though.

aiming to get 1 android wear smartwatch. So far my first choice is Moto 360 > G watch > Gear live. The high price of Moto 360 might make me change my priority to G watch. laugh.gif
*
Price still unsure, we estimate it to be expensive, but my budget set at RM1000, so chances that it's within my budget are high, thus I'm 99% getting Moto 360 biggrin.gif

Depends if the shipment passes shitty Customs. I say shitty Customs coz my last shipment, a single glass screen protector from Spigen, shipped using FedEx was slapped a tax costing 78% of the total cost, including the cost of courier shipping, and I refused it. Complained on phone, and wrote to them via email, the next day, it got released without any tax. Someone at the customs release department is not doing his work and simply slapping tax and hoping the customer(me) would swallow it up and pay to make his job easier. He got what's coming to him.

I think I'll stick with the stock ROM and see how it performs first. If I can get away with more than 1 day usage on battery without tinkering with anything, I'm happy. Plus, I don't have time to meddle with it much, I've a flight to Istanbul to do tonight.
*
From initial review from websites, it can last whole day and still have 40%, so definitely can last one day, but still have to charge daily. Gentle reminder to bring the charging cradle, and safe flight biggrin.gif

Bringing the box together with me. If I have the time, I'm gonna go change the watch strap immediately later. The plain black strap isn't too aesthetically pleasing. A metal strap perhaps.

Yeah, that and I don't like the curved edges of the Gear Live, I cannot totally lie it down flat on the surface.

But if Moto 360 is qi-enabled, definitely best! biggrin.gif

Gear Live 'unique' design prompt custom strap difficult on it. I want leather strap on Moto 360 thumbup.gif

You ordered Kairos ? Rich fella, do provide feedback ( though will need some time for it to release )
