thanks for the opinion guys, decided to buy from my friend, going to get it next week  smile.gif currently looking to buy the steelconnect adapter~ just wondering anybody using silver adapter with black watch? will it look weird? but i think silver adapter is easier to match with other bands~

i realized the black adapter is coating, so it will wear off with time (confirmed by customer service)~ anybody experience this problem before?
*
Silver adaptor with black watch looks ok I guess, I seen others use that combination before.

I am using silver...both the watch and the adaptor will wear off if you scratch it or anything. That is the nature of PVD coating.

Here is when I will summon bro INGfusion, our LYN in-house smartwatch glass screen protector seller. I bought my Spigen GlasTr. Tempered Glass Screen Protector from him. smile.gif

Where to get this data?

This come with the official Android wear app, you can check by clicking the "gear" at the Android Wear app, then click Moto 360 under Device settings, then click watch battery.

Thanks  thumbup.gif
But seems like my android wear is out dated, thus can't see this function. Haha

Another method you can try is via the Wear Battery Stats app. Its quite good, you can even view your battery stats on the watch. smile.gif

A separate stand alone app?
*
Yup, its an app which gives you battery life report on the watch.

QUOTE(andyting @ Jul 13 2015, 05:39 PM)
Finally got my watch, this thing is such a beauty in real life~ rclxms.gif but I notice that when I see the screen especially when the background is bright, the outer surrounding of the glass of the screen will have like "rainbow effect" like that? Is that normal? Or it is just me haven't get used to it?
*
Yup, that is normal. smile.gif

QUOTE(andyting @ Jul 13 2015, 05:59 PM)
I see.. Sounds logic enough.. Haha! Btw, if I install a new app for the watch, will the apps auto sync to my watch? Or I need to go to Android wear app and click the resnyc all apps? Any good apps to recommend? So far I only install watchmaker premium and battery stats for wear
*
If you want Motorola stock watchfaces, you can get the Moto Connect app and customize from there. And yes, the app will auto-sync, and it will take some time for the app to appear on the watch. Watchmaker premium is already good enough to satisfy all your watchface needs, check out facerepo.com or Watchmaker Google+ community (50,000+ members strong), with new watchfaces almost every hour.

Basically for Android Wear, not many apps specifically for the watch only. The main features are "extensions" of your usual apps, i.e. replying message via voice or canned response (or even draw emoji), viewing maps on the watch via Google maps, check-in to places via swarm, etc.

And of course, the best part, "Ok Google". smile.gif

Got my champagnes + cognac moto360.
Any tips/tricks to optimised this watch?
*
Battery life will be terrible for the first few charging cycle. Make sure you update to the latest firmware, then go through 3-4 full charging cycles first before having decent battery life.

QUOTE(waka14 @ Jul 14 2015, 12:17 AM)
Guys i wanna ask your suggestion, i currently have a Samsung galaxy S5, and if i did get the moto 360, what can i actually do with it besides swiping the notification and reading them? any way to reply them via voice or sth? and for you guys, what will you miss if u forgot to take along  your 360?

Thanks in advance!
*
You can reply via voice, depending on whether the app supports Android Wear or not. So far I tried replying via Whatsapp, Textra, Gmail, no problem. Basically to check just simply swipe left when you receive a message, see whether got the "reply via voice" feature or not.

Besides replying, another super cool feature (very useful as well) is the "Ok Google" voice search. Just via the watch you can get information on the weather, general knowledge, make calls (via bluetooth headset), even information on foreign currency etc, anything you would search for on Google. But only general information will display on watch, eg: "How long is Penang Bridge?", "What is the capital of Malaysia?", "What is the tallest building in the world?" etc etc...

What will I miss? Call notifications. The smartwatch has made me a very reliable person when people call me, which is a good thing, especially if you are in sales/business, and your client calls, its quite frustrating if they call you, but you didn't notice it and missed the call.

Motorola phone also...vibration damn crazy. Actually now still like that. When I first switch to Moto X 2014, I damn stun during the vibration/haptic feedback...so much more ganas as compared to Samsung. sweat.gif

And there are also Google Fit and Moto Body/Step/Heart rate..can we uninstalled them??

Can delete Moto Connect.

Only Android Wear app is a must.

Yup, found out that not many apps specifically for Android wear, but I use it mainly to check the notification only, so still ok. Can I know is there any setting to make the screen don't turn in when a notification appear? I mean, just vibrate only, then the screen won't  turn on. Is that the theater mode? If not for example meeting half way the watch brighten, scared will catch attention of others  sweat.gif

And is it OK to charge the watch overnight? Cause I realized that the back damn hot after leaving it there to charge overnight. Scared that will degrade the battery more rapidly?
*
It depends on your phone setting for that particular app. If you set vibrate only on your phone, it will be reflected on your watch as well. Android Wear works this way.

Charge overnight? Although many say its okay, I don't really recommend it. Some say heating for long time will cause the plastic backplate to crack easier.

What I do is before I sleep/when wake up, I leave it to charge. Since the battery is very small capacity, very fast to charge till full.

It takes you how long to fully charge it?

Usually when I use daily...from full to about 40-50%, I will leave it charging for 30mins.

QUOTE(andyting @ Jul 15 2015, 04:46 PM)
yea, at the moment I am doing the same as you now. Will monitor overnight charging and the temperature. Btw, can I know Pujie Black is a different watchface app than watchmaker? Means can import other watchface through Pujie too? As I found the format in facerepo~
*
Pujie Black is another paid app, I have it too. And it has many customisation too with cool animations. And you can share or download other user's preset watchface.

*
To be honest, I highly doubt we will ever see the direct calling from watch feature on Android Wear devices. It is not something Google has in mind. To them, a smartwatch is only to assist you by complimenting your phone, and not replacing it.

But who knows? We will most probably be seeing the 2nd Gen Moto 360 end of this month, during Motorola's unveiling...

If you are talking about original straps made just for Moto 360, I am afraid only can import from US.

If "fake" or "imitation" ones, you can get from eBay or Aliexpress.

how to disable screen wake up due to wrist movement? when i used my watch to sleep, the battery drained, there were one time when i went to bed with 100% battery, i woke up in the morning it was completely drained. then i figured out the screen woke up when i move my hand, and probably clicked something that make the screen always on. - Go to Android Wear app and disable "Tilt to Wake" or put the watch in "Theater Mode"

few minor things which i wish could improve this watch:
1. the vibration for notification is too soft and short (just 1 buzz).. if 2 buzz should be better.. i missed notification especially when i'm in active activity This is set by Google. If you want, use app like Watchmaker and you can set the vibration frequency under Settings.
2. when receiving call, to answer from watch is to swipe from right to left (to reject otherwise), but on the phone itself, normally swipe from left to right to pick up call.. it can be quite confusing sometime, why don't they just standardise it This is dependent on what phone you are using, but yeah, could be quite confusing at times, although personally I have no problems answering via the watch.
3. more application support from developer.. for example, i want my Poweramp to have functions like the Play Music app on the watch, and this require Poweramp developer to work on the app.. Yes, this is true, it really depends on the App dev whether to add in AW support or not. But more and more apps are adding support. So I guess we need to be patient. Smartwatch is still very much a niche in the martket.
4. the user interface is not really smooth Not sure why you feel this, for me, after the 5.1.1, the interface is much smoother and performance is better, especially during swiping and voice search.

Improved Google Now Watchface

user posted image

Been looking for this for the Watchmaker App since the one I used for Facer few months ago. Found one almost similar in Facerepo.com.

Original Link: http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/impr...360-14d277ae3f2

My current modified version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5nbR02mrR...iew?usp=sharing

This one has a subtle battery life bar for both the phone & watch in the form of lines in between the time & date. Top line is the watch's, and bottom line is the phone's.

Cheers and have a happy weekend everyone! rclxms.gif
