Was just googling about difference between tizen and android wear ... wow i really didn't know this =.= just checked out the tizen store, seems really limited =.= From the article, it's safe to say android wear is compatible with ALL apps on android phones as far as notifications are concerned?

What's the best android wear available in Malaysia or upcoming soon? I saw Fossil before, looks good but i was dumb dumb waiting for Gear S3 which apparently doesn't fit my purpose  sweat.gif
*
In terms of notification, I believe S3 'should' able to read notification from Android, however the Android apps that's compatible with Android Wear wont work on S3.

Popular one are Huawei Watch and Moto 360 ( 2ng gen ) both available here, not cheap but in Lazada or Gemfive should able to get much lower price now + coupon discount.

Really ? Wow ... what a dissapointment  cry.gif Sorry I'm really noob so let me try get this right, so all the apps that I see in "normal" google play store from my mobile phone that has the "watch" logo , I assume this means android wear support right? So those apps wont work on S3?

I googled for Tizen apps apparently there is a special store for it but I can't find it in Google Play, is there a way I can search for ALL Tizen apps? Like I mean I'd like to know if some really necessary apps that I want is available for them or not, does Tizen have any online web store that we can search for Tizen apps?

Huawei Watch is kinda old already right sad.gif No upcoming android wear in the next 1 2 months that have better specs especially in terms of battery ? How does Huawei and Moto v2 compare to Fossil watch in terms of specs? Fossil should be android wear am I right?

Thanks to all sifu here ... save my life .. lol

I guess Samsung should have a Tizen store like that.
Huawei not so new but then not much development/improvement over smartwatch, so it is still one of the best option ( together with Moto 360 2nd gen ) available. There is LG Urbane LTE 2 too, and Tag Heuer Connected ( if money no issue biggrin.gif ).
Fossil's, from review I think rated quite bad especially the display tongue.gif

Android Police review for ZenWatch 3, looks good. The 3 button design kinda grow on me, also it has one feature I loved but absent on HuaweiWatch, the ambient light sensor.

In case you need it, get free Huawei watch when you purchase Mate9 from Maxis Zerolution

and i was so excited to get my Pebble Time 2.
I guess is time to search for alternatives... suggestions?

I guess Samsung Gear if dont need superb Android support, or Huawei Watch/Asus ZenWatch 3/Watch Urbane LTE/Moto 360 2nd gen biggrin.gif
I'm using Huawei Watch now but itchy to try ZenWatch 3, wont expect much improvement over battery or performance, but the looks are nice rclxms.gif ( retro and steampunk feel ) also I like it that it has one feature I wish Huawei Watch have, ambient light sensor icon_rolleyes.gif

Dont think should blame Pebble, but FitBit. They literally kill Pebble with money ( 40 mill USD ), what a way to kill competitor devil.gif

But dedicated AW SoC wor...you think that is not significant improvement to batt life?

Asus ZW3 Malaysia got sell?

Initially have high hope, but I think few smartwatches announced with that SOC given around 2 days battery life ( this is coming from manufacturers who almost-always exaggerated )

hey guys, i just bought a moto360 2nd gen yesterday and I've been having loads of fun. However, I'm having trouble updating my Android wear to version MEC23G. At first it said charge to upgrade, so i charged it to 100%, but now i keep getting error downloading and asking me to try again. any ideas?

I've tried asking in the moto360 thread, but it's not been very active lately sad.gif

my build version is: LLA44S

Try reset the watch, also make sure it's connected to your phone ( else it cant download )

With Android Wear and Apple Watch almost not moving forward, Pebble granted dead cert, Samsung Gear struggle.

The company that creating this Tic Watch 2 is called Mobvoi.

Tic Watch 2 is a 2nd Generation for International.

Own OS base on android 5.1.1.

Performance:
For the watch, it is fantastic, no hiccup, smooth as silk.

Display:
1.4 inch OLED with 287dpi

Battery wise:
With 300mAh, it will last a day with below setting
Ambient ON, Tickle ON, Voice ON, Brightness 2~3.
It also have auto Saving mode if battery goes below setting value.
And also time frame to enter saving mode (I set at 11pm until 7am).
So far so good.

The community is expanding...and with Pebble Kiok and Androidwear stall...It is time for them to market its.
Still have 10%~15% discount if purchase through their webshop.

Good to be optimistic biggrin.gif Pebble, the once legendary Kickstarter project that sold millions unit, are now sold with value lower than it's debt ( and Fitbit not acquiring that debt ), worst case Pebble have to sell all remain inventory and every pencils and paper clip to ( maybe ) clear all debt.

My observation on Pebble failure as below:

a) Release a new watch in very short interval.

b) Release a new watch with very incremental upgrades.

Any new company (small or medium) shall release in 3 year or more interval.
At the same time, keep polishing firmware and companion app.

Already give this idea to Mobvoi...ahahaha
*
My opinion are opposite, they have to release successor fast in this new market, fast release means incremental upgrades.
By the time Pebble Time announced, I no longer interested ( was proud OG Pebble owner biggrin.gif ) I've moved on to Android Wear with Moto 360 ( more high tech and gadget feel ) whistling.gif
Their OS update kinda slow, cant compare to big company's resource.

Setapak Sentral Store no stock yet. But they do have display unit and I managed to try before they attach all the wires. Lol. The weight is quite solid, and a bit heavier compared to my regular watch. Funny thing is that it's about the same size as my regular watch but it feels bigger and bulkier. I guess because of the bezel and how noticeably thicker it is. This might be my 1st samsung smartwatch  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

You regular watch must be light weight like Titanium whistling.gif When I switch from my regular steel watch to Moto 360 1st gen, it's so much lighter rclxms.gif

Besides stock, anyone seen any demo unit that is paired with the smartphone? Wanna try browse apps and download apps, things like that ...

BTW those looking for Classic, Jaya shopping centre still have as of 12noon 10/12

edit: Walaneh called every store listed on the samsung site, 10km away from PJ, all no stock for Frontier ... zzz
