Doubt you can get many watches below that price (apart from one or two from Kickstarter). I'd say the price would range from the lower end RM600 to the higher end RM1000+ depending on the features and more so branding. The current strong US dollar is not helping either.

Old model lah, can't even make calls/etc. Even the newer Smart Watch 2 can't "talk" to the watch because it doesn't have a speaker or microphone doh.gif doh.gif

I believe those are older/first generation models.

Perhaps OP should include what features qualifies as a smart watch. Then the discussion will get more interesting.

A smart watch should not only pack features but also aesthetically pleasing and comfy to wear. IMHO, should be a balance of all this.

check out these 2 wearables, which blow the current crop of smartwatches out of the water

Omate TrueSmart

Neptune Pine

Both (and more if you search, including the WIMM, Plus+, and SimValley) are pretty good contenders for upcoming wearables

the Omate will retail at an estimated USD299 at launch. Kickstarter prices are about USD199 now (add USD15 for delivery out of US, and add USD20 for 1GB of RAM)

what's a good point also is that right now, all of the watches will feature sapphire crystal, which is extremely durable and scratch resistant. None of the above wearables feature this yet.

And yes, the Pine is huge... like wearing a pager on your wrist!

Also, the Omate is running 4.2.2, while the Pine is running ICS only

Just to chime in. I think all smart watches should be cross-platform compatible i.e. it should support the 2 mainstream OS'es, Android and IOS. What I noticed is those non-OEM products e.g. those from Kickstarter, majority supports them with companion application to fully utilize the watch's features.

I wouldn't want to buy a watch which specifically runs on one platform and worse still run on a particular phone(s) from the same manufacturer.

yup that right, no point for just support 1 platform only
and water resistant is every watch must have feature, so far galaxy gear don't support it as they didn't mention, maybe yes or no
and confirmed that smartwatch 2 is supporting, too bad can't accept call, see sms, etc ...

Well, if they minus the camera, the microphone on the buckle, perhaps use plastic instead of the metal/aluminium frame, use a normal glass watch face instead of a scratch-proof one who knows, we might get a sub 100 dollar watch.

You won't see quality smart watches at such low prices.

Well i guess 100usd for a good 1 is nt bad act. U can minus the camera atleast. Use high quality plastic or ceramic instead of metal. Bt then again metal is nt so expensive. If u actually come to think bout it , it can really go abit cheaper no harm.

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)

I am getting SD separately, cheaper locally I believe. As for the 8gb, not every app can be moved to SD, and depending on how they implement the built in storage and how many apps you wanna stuff into the watch, 4gb (usable probably 2gb) may not be enough. I upped my pledge, due to limited places, but may move back to 199 near the end, depending on how this project goes, as the current amount i'm paying is going over what i initially would have wanted to invest in.

sunnyboy, if you're going for the rooted version, you can switch the internal/external cards in fstab, i believe. it's a possibility, but i'm not sure how stable this is, as there have been hit and miss cases on xda reported, i've come across before.

Also, the tendency of your external card breaking before the internal could be higher, and if that happens, you lose all your apps/settings/data (this is in the hope that Omate does not scrimp on the on-board storage chip quality)

Firstly you need to create an account at Kickstarter.com. Then you visit this page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/omate/...ndalone-smartwa

Once you are there, click on the "Back Project" button and choose the option you want, then add $15 for International Shipping, then you need to create an Amazon account where your money will be transferred once the project is funded on Sept 20th, once that is done, you will receive a confirmation email saying you have backed the project. biggrin.gif

This link: http://omatetruesmart.wikispaces.com/ will help answer any questions you have.

This is the FAQ of Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer...egory#BackAProj

If you already have an Amazon account, the USD15 will be automatically added to your total amount. Add the rest as you see fit

Usd 5 for an extra cable
Usd 20 for 1gb ram

Firstly you need to create an account at Kickstarter.com. Then you visit this page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/omate/...ndalone-smartwa

Once you are there, click on the "Back Project" button and choose the option you want, then add $15 for International Shipping, then you need to create an Amazon account where your money will be transferred once the project is funded on Sept 20th, once that is done, you will receive a confirmation email saying you have backed the project. biggrin.gif

This link: http://omatetruesmart.wikispaces.com/ will help answer any questions you have.

This is the FAQ of Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer...egory#BackAProj

thanks for the tips biggrin.gif

i wasn't in early enough for the Oct edition, only the Nov edition.

If you were an "original" October edition, and moved to another pledge, they will still honor the October delivery for you, as they have the list of backers for the first 1000 pledges in that pledge. The only thing you might miss is just the serial numbers, which for me, isn't a biggie

ya, AI Watch is gonna be interesting since its not a companion gadget. it can actually be a phone on its own...

well, lowest price for one is at $179 (retail price expected to be at $279). international shipping -- add S10. there's only 500 units at this price.

indiegogo is similar to kickstarter
similar to how pebble was born (kickstarter)
it is crowd funding
many public users fund the project
if achieve the funding goal
then wait few months for the project owner to make the product
then deliver to you

but usually always delay
personally I bought Ouya and Oculus Rift
also being delay a few times

it should be similar to kickstarter... you pledge. and pay... and wait. smile.gif

yes, just follow the onscreen steps. probably nearing the date, the developer may ask you for extra details... shipping address, etc...

but have to put disclaimer like other crowdfunding project... there's always a chance this might fail.

ouya to me... is a dem failure. idea is there, but they just failed with execution. i won't be surprised if its just a test for something else to come.in terms of logistics/ shipping, another nightmare. i was lucky enough to get my refund from them.

regarding the AI smartwatch, before you pledge, make sure you read up and understand that it is very likely a rebrand of a china model that's currently being sold

i have a love/hate relationship with the pine, lol. sometimes it's really cool looking, sometimes it's just too OTT. very large screen for a wearable, though. one good thing about that is you can remove the device from the strap. bad thing is you got to do that when taking a pic

Hmm.. For smartphone, price are similar to Samsung. Iphone even more expensive. Galaxy gear is more expensive than Sony smartwatch. Expensive for nothing? Hold a samsung phone and a Sony phone side by side. While Samsung phone is plastic build, sony's is aluminum frame and glass panels.. Xperia Z1 is debuted as the top build quality phone in the world now.. I found your statement is nonsense.

Samsung Galaxy GEAR | Short Review

user posted image

user posted image

Pros:
  • The final retail unit interface run extremely smooth and fast, not like during demo unit I try out on 25/Sept which is lagging as those preview.
  • Camera quality is fantastic awesome.
  • The build is solid, light to wear, no heat issue.
Cons:
  • Third party app icon look ugly as no match with it.
  • Big issue - All voice chat is dead, no sound once GEAR connected, include Whatsapp, LINE & WeChat.

  • The build is solid, light to wear, no heat issue.
Cons:

  • Third party app icon look ugly as no match with it.
  • Try out LINE but seems not working, no notification appear.
  • Big issue - All voice chat is dead, no sound once GEAR connected, include Whatsapp, LINE & WeChat.

Hmm.. For smartphone, price are similar to Samsung. Iphone even more expensive. Galaxy gear is more expensive than Sony smartwatch. Expensive for nothing? Hold a samsung phone and a Sony phone side by side. While Samsung phone is plastic build, sony's is aluminum frame and glass panels.. Xperia Z1 is debuted as the top build quality phone in the world now..  I found your statement is nonsense.

lol talk about stability and sony UI. and also sony's updates just annoying. If you say about build quality although samsung lacks of the so called aluminiun still their phone is much more better then sony. And also for people like you whom talk about build quality there is always casing for phones made up of different materials to hold on. Talking about smartwatch yes of course as u galaxy gear is expensive. I do agree but their function much more better then sony. doh.gif

I'm not a fan of any brand.. I have my first Sony phone, XZU.. After having almost all Android flagship in the past, I think XZU is pretty stable.. There is only 1 bug which is caused by the optimised back light setting. ONLY ONE... Other than that, there is no other glitches.. Yes note 3 now is good. But u want to talk about S2,S3,S4,note 1 and note2, want to discus how many bugs and glitches they have? LOL.. It's a long list to die reading..

About build quality, I have android smartphone since 2010, I yet to find a phone which is almost perfectly built, until XZU.. My previous phone before XZU is HTC One, which is now nominated as the best phone of the year, but still there are some manufacturing glitches on it such as the gap and camera. But on XZU, physically, I cannot find any glitch on it, very perfectly carved, it's impressive. Yes, you can always put on casing to cover your ugly phone, but, what are you paying for? You paid over rm2k but still need to cover it to make it better? doh.gif like you buy a proton wira and modify the body to look like Lancer. But for a guy like me, if u like Lancer, u buy Lancer lor.. And the build quality reflects the manufacturing costs, and how much effort the manufacturer put to build the device, thus determine the value for money.

Nah, cut the crap.. This kind of conversation never come to a mutual agreement.. doh.gif

Note 2 is damn stable. Even is plastic but still good build.

Note 3 till now pretty stable. Great build with premium look.

Xperia Z is damn stable and great build, premium look.

Xperia Z Ultra is great build, premium look but not stable, that only bugs is shit big and cannot be ignore.

Xperia Z1 having same issue as Z Ultra, cannot said damn stable already.

HTC ONE - Heat, lousy camera, a lot report of bad build due to gaps, no way can be award as best phone of the year.

* even though Xperia Z series is both glass but if naked use, anytime it can be a damn terrible look due to finger print and the design of side surface prompt for easier get dust, without extra serious care, the premium look will became rubbish look easily.

For smart watch wise, I never like Sony one, the bottom 3 navigation button already completely destroy the watch look beauty. Features wise is nothing impressive also, it just too normal and no watch look due to that 3 navigation button.

For current available watch, I only find Pebble, GEAR and A.I is awesome. The rest all spoil by navigation button.

I wonder if u can read English properly.. Doesn't matter you put casing or not, the thing you get out of box determine the value of money u paid for.. But it's up to you, if u happy paying rm2k for a lousy build device, good for you la.. Your money.. So no need to argue with my opinion.

my initial argument was because u said Sony is expensive for nothing. while, the price of sony phone is just similar to other phone, and i think the cost for them to produce XZU is higher due to the material used in the design, and the big screen itself only already costs a lot..

but i'm amazed if u said build quality is not important.. i wonder how do you decide to buy a car then, or any other things, does the quality is your consideration? let say, if there is 2 version of Note 3, one is the one available now, then another with aluminum side bezel, and glass or kevlar at the back, both priced the same, which one u will choose? or do you just made satisfied with whatever samsung has produced for u, for the sake of being a fan? doh.gif

Only Mocha Gray for 100 winners. I not sure why Samsung call it Mocha Gray, I find it looks more like light brown to me.

I find the Nissan NISMO is the nicest one, 2nd is Pebble, 3rd is GEAR, 4th is SmartWatch 2.

I own GEAR not means it is the nicest la, it look nice but not extremely yet.

Don't get wrong. smile.gif we not bashing, we just said our opinion on it look. Nice or not is user opinion right. Nothing wrong if we don't like it. Why you so worried and though this is bashing. It is not nice to me, sure I said it is not nice.

In-fact they is two bashing on top of this reply.

The more i look at the G Gear, the more i found it...UGLY....i think i will need G Gear 3 before i will buy.

Unfortunately, Apple Smartwatch also coming out soon...and i can say the design will be better than the GG...i think Samsung has done a rush job to this in order to beat Apple to it....

Wish the design isn't this crap....hell, there was some prototype design floating around with flexible bending screen...i think that will make a better looking smartwatch.

is the Apple SW really coming out soon? Soon is really subjective...it was only about a month ago i believe that they were starting to hire people for wearables tech

if the apple sw does come out, i guess it's constrained to the apple ecosystem, and not open, like the GG and SW2.

The Omate, however........

if it does come out as rendered like that, i'll be damn impressed

current battery tech will never allow the watch to be that slim, even if mounted elsewhere, nor is the current state of miniaturization of components

You need download Android SDK (around 459MB) for ADB function - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

GEAR is Dual core but not sure it get activate or not the 2nd core.

Here is my short review of Sony Smartwatch 2

I'm in love with wearable technology, part of it because of its a part of my research matter as well, so I have a collection of smartwatches, from the original Sony Liveview, Sony Smartwatch and Pebble. I am contemplating on getting either Samsung Gear or Sony Smartwatch 2, and in the end I'm getting myself a Sony Smartwatch 2. Bought the silicon strap version from Sony Store KLCC for RM780 (before member's discount 10%), while the metal strap will cost around RM850 (the metal strap really look awesome, but a bit heavier).

user posted image

The main reason on my selection of Sony's watch is the always-on watch screen, which is thanks to the transflective screen, and better battery life that can last 3-4 days (more or less like pebble). Even it is not a full fledge android device like Samsung Gear, its far better than the previous Sony's watch; better screen resolution (but can't match Gear) and more responsive touch screen.

Always-on screen, notice the backlight is off on this mode compared to the previous photo

Can read full Gmail email from watch

Pros:
1. Open API and SDK, more app support.
2. Good battery life.
3. Lightweight and premium look.
4. Can change strap. (24mm standard size)
5. Always-on watch.
6. Far better performance than previous version of Sony Smartwatch.
7. Thanks for the question asked by joytest, it used standard microusb2 charging cable. No more stupid weird cable.

Cons:
1. Move sensor is disabled (backlight is not turn on upon movement just like on the older sony smartwatch and pebble, hope it can be fixed in future firmware).
2. Not a full fledged android device (cant install android app like Gear), but this helps the battery life.
3. No camera (but no biggie for me, in fact it may become a pro factor depends on situation).

Btw im using Note 3 to connect with my watch, and so far everything works smoothly.

I hope future Samsung Gear version will have better battery life and always-on watch screen. Speaking of which, I need to sell my Pebble now. Will open the sale thread soon.

Does the Sony Smartwatch 2 have a pedometer and calorie burn function? Can this data be transmitted to any Android?

Is it also splash proof? Submersion won't happen but at least water splash resistance will be a big plus.

Thanks for the info !!!

Could you test out the pedometer function (if you find it tongue.gif )

And could you clarify how it gets charged, whether by standard microusb 2 or some proprietary MAKE.BELIEVE stuff?

EDIT: thanks, saw your reply about the cable in Note 3 thread. !!!!! GREAT !!!!!

Well you don't need to workout. An always-on pedometer will count all steps you've taken, while another type needs you to explicitly switch it on via an app or switch. If it's always-on, you should be able to run an app any time that simply tells you "Today you've walked 7000 paces and burned estimate X calories"

Always-on will be good.

been playing with smartwatch 2 for the past hour.
here's a little short review.

I like :

1. The aluminum body.. design.. very classy looking
2. the dim watch faces which looks like e ink screen.
3. swipe down notification bar


I don't like :

1. u can't rearrange the icons, it's either in alphabetical order or favourites which kept rearranging according to ur frequency use of the app.

2. u cant enable or disable the apps on the phone which previous smartwatch can. if u don't want the app, u need to uninstall it.

3. no more double tab to wake the watch. u need to press the signature on off button which I don't know when it will last.

4. no more pinch to close app. all depends on the 3 capacitive button.

5. if u install watchit, u will get redundant notifications. One will be the defaults new events app(which will bring u to watchit when u tab it) and another will be watchit itself.

new event : a new whatsapp msg from xxx
watchit : a new whatsapp msg from xxx.

BUT u need watchit to read ur msg.

that's all for now. if there's any wrong info I apologize. and if u guys found out anything new please share. thanks

I have the previous one and am planning to buy the Smartwatch 2. But based on your review it seems like its even worse than the previous one? Where did you buy it and how much?
Was also planning to buy the Galaxy Gear previously but it looks freaking ugly and more expensive.

On contrary, I find smartwatch 2 is miles better than previous one, and all the shortcomings while I agree with the review its fixable with software updates. However as for redundant New Event notification, I didn't receive any (maybe my setting is different, I'm not sure).

To refer your question about Whatsapp, I'm using Whatsapp Alert for Smartwatch 2

It's not all bad just that some nice functions in previous smartwatch was absent here.
The dim e ink like watchface is pretty cool and viewable under direct sunlight but now u need to press the button to see the time in dark now, unlike smartwatch 1 with the lightup watchface when sended movements....very catchy in dark places. Hehe

And I found out fRom the early smartwatch 2 hands-on videos, the watchface suppose to wake when u shake it but I think they replace with the dim eink power saving mode which is always there.

RRP RM780 is really scaring away some people who wanna try smartwatch.
Maybe they use this pricing to clear smartwatch 1 first then price drop a little. Hehe.

Btw. I been using smartwatch 2 for 4 days and I off it at night, I can't seem to finish the battery.haha

Just Share: I think Sony SmartWatch 2 is facing similarity issue as Sony Xperia Z. The glue came up & detaching the panel from the frame after a while / heat.

well on the forum itself they said that it happened for made in China SW2 but not made in Malaysia....hopefully most of our local stock is manufactured locally....reduce the chance of getting this problem....

Neptune Pine not bad at all, first smartwatch to totally replace a phone. U don't need phone anymore with Pine, Pine IS the phone. But price still expensive to justify. I will sit back and wait for proper review of this watch first, then only can decide. BTW, is it still a good option to buy a Pebble? I like everything about Pebble, minus the screen. No color screen on a smartwatch makes it feel dull ler ...

I was at Sony Center The Curve yesterday, playing with the smartwatch 2. i could swear i almost bought one, but lack of kewl watch face rather turns me down a bit. Only 5 to choose from, and 4 of them are almost exactly the same. Seriously thinking of going Pebble now. How much do you want to sell yours?

Pebble is one of the best smartwatch, lets hope the future version can have color and higher resolution screen while maintaining the excellent battery life.

As for Smartwatch 2, the screen won't light up after shake it like the previous version. Reading from the other forum the reason is to preserve battery life. Lets hope future firmware can enable at least double tap the screen to light it up back.

Read a lot of review that when the watch is on for some while, it tends to lag when navigating the UI. The watch that i played around in Sony Center yesterday hanged after a few finger swipes ... haha ....

So far mine still ok. Not expecting speedy touch feedback also.
Install 3 pages of apps, pretty awesome for me,

Pebble is one of the best smartwatch, lets hope the future version can have color and higher resolution screen while maintaining the excellent battery life.

As for Smartwatch 2, the screen won't light up after shake it like the previous version. Reading from the other forum the reason is to preserve battery life. Lets hope future firmware can enable at least double tap the screen to light it up back.

Oh ya. Thanks for replying. I think by removing that shake to wake function preserve a lot of battery.
I'm hoping for tap to wake function like previous smartwatch....

Actually i'm kinda tempted with Samsung Gear as well, and since it's running full fledged android os with a capable cpu, developer will be having field day on hacking and modifying it to make it better.

Samsung Gear XDA thread

As for Smartwatch 2, its more limited compared to Gear but so far im enjoying it, much better than Pebble and got lots of potential.

I guess i have to live with the boring watchfaces for now. Haha. Cheaper buying from Amazon if u don't mind waiting. Sony Center promoter said if i want to buy now, he is willing to charge me using staff discount which is 10%, but still comes to RM702 (RM780-RM78).

Is the Whatsapp notifications on Pebble ok? For example if three Whatsapp messages comes in, are you able to view all three or just the latest one? Because when it was just released you can only view the latest message.
The previous Sony Smartwatch also had similar problem with Whatsapp notifications.
SMS and email works fine though.

Haha mee too...now got two sw...pebble and sw2....to compare between both in terms of functionality...i would prefer my pebble over sw2....the notification just works flawlessly in pebble....especially whatsapp.....as compared to sw2...you need to install augmented smartwatch pro app in order to get whatsapp notification to work as intended...

However...in terms of design...sw2 wins by mile....pebble looks like a cheapo watch to me when compared side by side with sw2....

Well, i have no grouses with SW2 atm. Even becomes attention grabber when I am wearing it, which is nice tongue.gif ... The only gripe now is the watchfaces. I do hope someone in XDA will be brave enuff to dabble with the OpenSDK for watch OS and give us some damn kewl new watchfaces!!! biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Stupid SAMSUNG! Why everyday keep updating the Samsung GEAR Manager apps in phone?

What has been updates? I don't see any different!

At least 4 updates recently this week! and every updates need to re-pairing the GEAR watch! and erase everything inside! I know you restore back but you not restore those manually install apps!

LINE for GEAR never work, you not update it, but keep updating the GEAR Manager for nothing! and stupidly every updates need wipe the watch and re-pairing it. DAMN STUPID!

Yep, it do got options to restore back, so if you don't install any 3rd party not related to GEAR apps, it is ok.

Just this idea a bit dumb, why need wipe every time when you pairing.

Hi All,

Need your advise , as i wanted to choose between Pebble and SW2 , but still got question unanswered.. tried googling up , still not that clear.
currently prefer 80% with SW2 (as it is new) , 20% pebble , as it got tons of watchface , but need the user input (For SW2) :

- Does it got any alarms function ?
- Easy to setup ? got no NFC phone .
- the backlight , any news that it will have toggle option whether detect movements ?
- DO i need to standby with glue ?, as i read in XDA , most of em ' got the device display pop out , really shock as 1 user broke it as it fell off.
- which one better ? i get the normal strap - then change the strap to be steel bracelet , or just directly get the stainless steel version ?
- does it really water resistance ? compare with pebble ?

Appreciate your assistance to explain/clarify to me.
Thanks.

No NFC no problem. Just use bluetooth and pair. Just make sure that your phone is Android 4.0 and above.

- the backlight , any news that it will have toggle option whether detect movements ?
Will depend on future updates for the watch.

- DO i need to standby with glue ?, as i read in XDA , most of em ' got the device display pop out , really shock as 1 user broke it as it fell off.
If it ever happens, just send back to Svc Ctr.

- which one better ? i get the normal strap - then change the strap to be steel bracelet , or just directly get the stainless steel version ?
If you have the moolah, just buy the metal band directly.

- does it really water resistance ? compare with pebble ?
SW2 is WaterProof, with IP57 rating. Which means it can be submerged underwater for depth of 1m for 30 minutes.

Appreciate your assistance to explain/clarify to me.
Thanks.

Someone on Xda figured out to push proper notifications to the Gear. But its still work in progress. A little buggy, but there is a new revision to try out every day.

Safe battery? I don't feel lo. Samsung should officially make all notification appear all, is not it can't, is Samsung issue. Displaying notified ask people check at Phone is extremely stupid.

Samsung should make all notification can seen at GEAR, not only it own apps like email & message, and some instant messenger, currently only KaoKao is working, the talking so much in announcing "LINE" never work and never update until now.

Just because it has those features does not make it better. Few people will actually want to use their wrist to take pictures with such a small screen. And talking to your wrist in public actually makes you look stupid and not cool at all (it was back in the 80's). It's like..why do you want to talk to your wrist when you can use a bluetooth headset? Isn't that more convenient?

Haha mee too...now got two sw...pebble and sw2....to compare between both in terms of functionality...i would prefer my pebble over sw2....the notification just works flawlessly in pebble....especially whatsapp.....as compared to sw2...you need to install augmented smartwatch pro app in order to get whatsapp notification to work as intended...

However...in terms of design...sw2 wins by mile....pebble looks like a cheapo watch to me when compared side by side with sw2....

Wanted to buy the Pebble when it was first released but went for Sony instead because that time Pebble will only display the latest whatsapp message and not those before it. Are you able to view all Whatsapp messages now?
Still thinking whether to get the Pebble or the new Sony Smartwatch 2. I like Sony for its color/touch screen and also cool design. I have the previous Sony smartwatch and yeah its a bit of a pain to get Whatsapp messages. I like Pebble for its long battery life, nice watch faces and its design isn't too bad but it not being color/touch screen and needing to push buttons to navigate is a bit of a turn off. But if notifications like whatsapp/sms is able to work great like what you say, then I might just go for it. Its the cheapest smartwatch too.
What do you guys think?

EDIT: oh wait.. Pebble has its own special cable to charge. What if you lose that cable? I don't think its the type that can be easily found in shops?

Just because it has those features does not make it better. Few people will actually want to use their wrist to take pictures with such a small screen.

Actually talk with wrist does not look stupid, I kind like this idea and it especially useful in Malaysia due to Malaysia safety condition.

I use it when I on the road to prevent people snatch my phone, I put my phone at bag or pocket. It is more convenience to me than using Bluetooth headset.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The camera is useful when I want to taken some product at shopping mall when people ask for.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beside this, they is a useful emergency for help feature in GEAR. Once you turn on, you can activate it by pressing 3 times the GEAR power button and it will auto snap your current location (silently without sound and no camera screen turn on) and later auto send out a SMS + MMS up to 4 contacts you set at phone with current location + GPS coordinates as well. I had try out and it work flawlessly.

too troublesome as i have dropped many bluetooth headset, if it use those "clip" on type, the cables from earpiece is tangly..

i am a media videographer, most of the times, i have a lot of gears to look after/work with thus my phone is in my waist pouch, behind me and i would like the watch to read sms/msgs to me, i will reply when required.... additionally, if there is a phone call coming in, its normally a short call, e.g move to xx location, etc.....
so a quick chat on my hands with gear is ok, its more convenient than having to take out the phone or my bluetooth headset.....

well i guess it still lies in what you are using for..

After a week of using pebble, i found that it really good.
The best part is it doesn't make me look like a geek.
No one will aware that it is a smartwatch. It looks more that a sporty watch..

The bad part: My gf like it, have to spend another USD150 for her... cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Probably due to the frustration most people feel on the weak stock notifications capabilities.
The camera, voice calling and looks became a novelty that fizzled out when what really matters is actually
true day to day functionality of a phone companion.

I believe the big reason is that notification issues. It is dumb when as check at your phone for apps not original from Samsung.

GEAR Battery Life update with latest GEAR Manager apps at Phone

The battery life is improving by only update the GEAR Manager at Phone.

I complete charge my GEAR yesterday night at 11PM and didn't connect to my Note 3 until today 9AM just connecting until now.

Means around 10 hours without connect to phone + 9 hours connect to phone.

Total already 19 hours, and only use up to 15% of the battery. My GEAR still left 85% juice.
That is not bad actually! biggrin.gif smile.gif

Yup, like i mentioned in my post last week regarding the battery saving feature in the latest update.

I didnt charge my gear for almost 35 hours now. Its been 100% connected with at least 80 ++ notifications of email, and text and misc stuff over the past 2 days. Im at 29%. It should last me quite a bit till i get home tonight.

Unfortunately i dont have anything to benchmark against since i updated my phone to the latest manager less than a day after i got the watch.

Because I think this thread is too general...unless open a different thread separating the brands, then I think more users would join, hehe.

I wonder how many smartwatch 2 and gear users in total...

So? can pebble answer call? take photos? CANNOT.

And it not even support touch screen & color.

All those is hardware limit, can't even be fixed in future.

Is time pebble release 2nd generation of it. Pebble is kind of old and nothing now.

Pebble look nice but is outdated now, even Sony SmartWatch 2 is better than it, at least Sony SmartWatch is touch screen and color.

With pebble dailer, it can access contact to dail and answer call although bluetooth handfree is needed.
With pebble rocker, can trigger phone camera from standby mode to take picture without people knowledge (killer apps) brows.gif

The best is .... it doesn't make wearer looks geek.. Nobody will know it a smartwatch from it appearances.. Very good for business / professional exec.

It still outdated. Pebble screen is not good enough.

Is time Pebble release 2nd generation, color or not is not that important, but for easier usage, touch screen is a must.

Also I won't use bluetooth handfree, I hate it. I use it when 1st bluetooth headset appear, it is cool for a moment only.

You say color or not is not important, but then you say you want touch screen? No such thing as no color touch screen bro. Ain't nobody gonna buy it. Pebble has the advantage of longer battery life and better viewing under sunlight because of the non color screen. Thats whats unique about them.

Speaking of Pebble, whats the latest price for it? Thinking whether to buy it or the Sony Smartwatch 2.
Does the watch for the Sony Smartwatch 2 still works if its not connected to the phone? I know the watch for the previous version will still work.

Pebble won't launch their second generation watch anytime soon. Unlike Samsung who prefer the kitchen sink strategy, Pebble actually have solid strategy with their smartwatch development. Pebble is trying to make their make their software but adding more features and make their entire software stable.
Plus Galaxy Gear's battery life is joke compared to Pebble Watch.

Seriously I'll lol if I see anyone answer call with their watch.For me it's just plan weird.

Pebble won't launch their second generation watch anytime soon. Unlike Samsung who prefer the kitchen sink strategy, Pebble actually have solid strategy with their smartwatch development. Pebble is trying to make their make their software but adding more features and make their entire software stable.
Plus Galaxy Gear's battery life is joke compared to Pebble Watch.

Seriously I'll lol if I see anyone answer call with their watch.For me it's just plan weird.
*
You the boss of Pebble? How you know Pebble won't release new version anytime soon.

When they notice sales start dropping, they will do second generation. Don't forgot high possible Apple will coming out a smart watch in near future soon.

They is more and more smart watch at market now, if Pebble keep holding the only without change, it won't get survive long.

Off course Pebble can last longer because it is only a black and white ultra low power "Transflective LCD". The resolution 144 × 168 pixel is too low for my liking.

You may continue lol when you seen some one answer via watch, who care? whistling.gif whistling.gif It is for convenience in certain situation.

Simple googling & deduction lead me to my conclusion. I don't work for Pebble or the almighty Samsung.

In future they will release newer hardware but for sure it'll be different from what Samsung releasing.

Yes, the screen suck but it the watch itself does much better what "smartwatch" supposed to do which is displaying notification properly from variety of devices while having reasonable battery life.
People nowdays have multiple electronic devices powered battery. Not everyone like to charge every single things everyday.

Did Samsung step on you? Whenever you mention Samsung, you must add-in something on it, what Sink Strategy, Almighty and etc. You really such a funny guy, get a life! doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

You may continue like your Pebble, and people continue prefer what they want.

Did I said anything bad on Pebble? If you think Pebble suite you and like it, welcome continue but no need spam others brand. wink.gif

This thread is about Android Smart Watch, it is for sharing any information/updates about Smart Watch, not specific to any brand or fighting which brand / model is better.

You say color or not is not important, but then you say you want touch screen? No such thing as no color touch screen bro. Ain't nobody gonna buy it. Pebble has the advantage of longer battery life and better viewing under sunlight  because of the non color screen. Thats whats unique about them.

Speaking of Pebble, whats the latest price for it? Thinking whether to buy it or the Sony Smartwatch 2.
Does the watch for the Sony Smartwatch 2 still works if its not connected to the phone? I know the watch for the previous version will still work.
*
That why I don't might next generation is still black and white. Black and White only still possible do as touch screen.

Just hoping next Pebble (if any) having a much higher resolution.

Pebble is USD $ 150 and worldwide shipping FOC.

https://getpebble.com/

As of Sony SmartWatch 2, if not remember wrong, current 2nd generation can use as normal watch if not connected to phone. I think this is common basic feature of watch and it should be implement on it.

I just read around XDA thread of Sony SmartWatch 2, and I get shock quite some people mention the watch out of sudden malfunction or physical build quality issues. Just sharing:

Some must get apps for smartwatch 2

Bought the send sms app, it's an app to type n reply sms with 3x3 keypad. Not very easy to use. End up taking out the phone to reply.

Whoa it's huge. I rather have something simple like kreyos or something =( Don't know why smartwatches these days are trying to rush to the end by adding a slew of feature that's barely usable. Might as well strap your phone to wrist.

I got an email from Pebble last week saying they've restocked (I placed an order in Feb but cancelled it in Sep when I heard the Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch 2 is coming out, turns out both are dissapointments) and I ordered from them for USD150.
https://getpebble.com/checkout
Thats around RM480 which is cheaper than all those who are selling in Garage Sale. Received mine in just 4 days. Still playing around with it and so far so good.

Anyone knows where can I buy another USB charger in case mine is spoilt? Pebble charger does not look like a regular charger.

Yup, it's USD150 would be RM490.38 based on HSBC conversion rate recently.
The USB charger is definitely Pebble proprietary, which I find it nuisance. No idea where to get alternative cables.
