How about that new Casio Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F20?
*
From what I know from news.

Pros
Built in GPS
Almost diver level water resist
Dual layer display, one is low power. ( IIRC )

Cons
Slightly small screen, with flat tire.
Large bezel and large size.

I think I'll pass on Asus Zen Watch 3 due to it's proprietary band. So for now it's just Huawei, which I think is almost end of it's production cycle line, no?

Regardless I'll wait until Android Wear 2.0 and also Google SmartWatch release see how, unless my LG G Watch R suddenly died on me, then it'll be Huawei  sweat.gif
*
FYI, huawei watch also sort of proprietary whistling.gif
The band/strap looks like 22mm but the spring bar size was 18mm. So if you want 22mm band, you cant. If you want swap band, can only use 18mm.

If you can wait, then no point getting Huawei watch as Google's one should be better. Unless Huawei watch price drop lower few months later.

Forgot there's another option for you, LG Urbane 2 LTE, cant recall whom but one of the active forumer have it.

I just read this:

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/09/17/huawe...-change-straps/

It seem like the band is 22mm, but because of the lug u have to find the one with 18mm at the end but strap still 22mm. Is it possible to use normal bar without the lug for the watch? I know some watch shop sell those bars.

If so then I think it'll be the same with Asus Zen Watch, just change to normal bar then it won't be proprietary anymore?

Not sure if such band are easy to find, if even exist tongue.gif

Normal bar should work no issue, as long size fit.

There's 3rd party steel strap can buy. I got milanese mesh steel strap from ebay, cheaper than official huawei one.

Hi,
When the AW 2.0 will be launch?
*
Technically AW 2.0 launched yesterday, so the update for those supported will coming soon sweat.gif

I guess Huawei Watch and Urbane 2 will be fast, as both had developer preview for long time already.

I was hoping the Sport model will be more rugged design, but this one not elegant enough ( compared to Huawei's polished metal ). Neither here nor there sweat.gif

I still want Tag Heuer Connected look, add 2 extra button then really nice biggrin.gif

The Android Wear currently damn good already. I dont think we need AW2.0. But I still eager awaiting it for my Zenwatch 2.

I'm waiting for Google Assistant build into AW, more standalone AW apps. Was waiting Android Paid on AW as well but now it's confirmed not working if phone have unlocked bootloader.

That what i don like about this watch, the band is kind of turn off..... samsung gear did that on their gear S2 and it didnt sell well.....
Well there is alternative you can have casio WSD F-20, it look rugged enough....

user posted image

and it is android wear else you can settle down with Tizen Gear S3.....

Garmin Fenix 3 was not bad either, it feel like wearing steroid pebble time with best battery life.... im wearing for close to a week now without single charges after my first charge with only 76% left on the 6 days with occassionally play around with watch face and connection bluetooth for sync the health  thumbup.gif

TechBug always not cheap, he's good at getting product really fast, so you have to pay premium for it.

350USD almost RM1600 ( f that weak ringgit ) already, plus shipping/SIRIM/handling, price was ok for me if one want it.

very nice, but couldn't they have incorporated wireless charging?

the exposed charging/data contacts will corrode with prolonged exposure to sweat.

It happened to my Gear S after 3 months. Constant cleaning would only slow it down a bit.

I'm really not that surprised. In fact I kind of expected it for ZW2 since we have to wait for quite some time to get the speaker & gestures supports last year compared to other watches. But it's surprising that ZW3 has to wait that long too. I thought it's almost ready for AW2.0.

The LG Watch Sport and Watch Style is the one. Just that previously 'rumored' to use Google's own brand name.

Potential value buy Android Wear, Misfit Vapor

The usual Wear 2100, 4GB, Wifi, heartrate sensor, GPS, 1.39" AMOLED no flattire.
Good part:
touch bezel ( presumably like Samsung Gear )
50 meters water resist ( might be first or only one )
199USD price tag ( even cheaper than ZW3 )

Finally of finally?!! No more proprietary band and good decent of spec.

Looks like can easily swap normal strap. AP follow up and confirmed that it has ambient light sensor.
So only 2 let down: No NFC and not major manufacturer ( might have delayed s/w update ? )
