QUOTE(yangman @ Feb 26 2016, 05:00 PM) Thanks for correcting me, Oh means can talk to the watch but the reply will come from phone - speaker mode? I used to have a china "bluetooth' smartwatch, which had speakers, but I didn't like it, talking and receiving replies via the watch. It was like a speakerphone, and all those ppl surrounding me can hear my conversations. Moto 360 cannot do that. You can only use voice to do actions, make calls (i.e. Place Calls), send message, use Google search etc...but the actual call itself you have to talk on the phone/BT headset. Only newer models such as Asus Zenwatch 2 and Huawei Watch allow you to use watch to talk on phone with the latest update. This post has been edited by zhou86: Feb 26 2016, 05:03 PM

I was finally able to have a look & try the zenwatch 2. A slightly smaller overall size & an even smaller bezel would be perfect but as a whole it is a good looking watch. Only one thing stood out and i went to see huawei watch & moto 360 just for comparison - it really was laggy when scrolling the long list of menu and it was quite noticeable too. But i might try wearable with this watch. Too bad gemfive has been sold out for few days already.

I haven't saw any demo unit for 1.63 ZW2 here in KK. Only 1.45 and need to ask shop keeper to try on.

Yea it was laggy when scrolling the menu. It was a fresh out of the box watch. Protective plastic all removed in front of me. Lol. Maybe can ask those that have been using it to comment more.

Looking atthe price, pebble is quite expensive with the features it offers, zenwatch2 is much cheaper. Actually want to use it as a good standalone vibration interval timer. Normal watch would be better but I can't find a flexible watch withflexible ebough timerfor my need. Those android wear would it be good as maybe not connected to the phone.
