for style only.

i briefly see omate video, they promote gps to tell location, good for wives to give husbands to stalk their location.

so far I am interested on neptune pine, galaxy gear and qualcomm toq
but normally neptune pine and qualcomm toq didn't officially sell in Malaysia ...

I kinda like pebble and sony, I don't think my gf would want to answer call with the watch, just simple usage.

then get pebble or sony
sony got water resistant

actually a watch didn't have water resistant totally no point buying at all
don't know what samsung doing

wait la later they launch samsung gear active+.

hahha maybe lol

I like Pebble and Samsung Gear only. At least this two look awesome.

Hmm, the Sony SmartWatch that people is selling now is Sony SmartWatch NM2?

Not sure how much Samsung Gear gonna cost when arrived in Malaysia.

anyone here backed the omate watch? its USD200++
pine looks pricey

let's see how much Singapore cost 1st
and my brother no idea when Singapore selling

Ya, need to check out Singapore price as well.

Though currently nothing in Singapore is cheap already, currency so high!

i'm backing it, still cheaper right now than the Gear, which should retail at USD299

ya, RM keep going down

Yalo, terrible...

I backed the Omate smartwatch and intend to use it as a companion (BT paired with my smartphone).

And I managed to get the Early Bird price of $179 + $15 Shipping + $20 upgrade 512MB ram to 1GB.

So far the creator really consistently communicates with the backers and releasing consistent updates. The comment page itself has over 4000 comments! Most I have seen so far.

Thanks Jerm for leading me to this thread, any questions regarding the Omate can ask me or Jerm.

The community is very healthy, they even start discussing about developing plans via XDA forums, and a few of them created a very comprehensive Wiki page so help new backers to search for answers since there are too many comments to view. (Link at the bottom)
