LTE version not compatible outside of its country. It uses eSim. Malaysia don't have eSim technology. Singapore is selling the LTE version in Singtel and another telco.

Ok, gotcha. TQ.

I want the LTE version too as I remembered using the Gear S working nicely with the sim card.
Unfortunately, it's pre-registered on telco that release it. Can't switching it back and forth.

So it's build quality then? Hope my Gear S3 durable like it's predecessor.
Btw, I'm selling my HW Watch to my friend this evening. Still love my Gear S3 coz Samsung did really well and a lot of function to its watch.

I think it just nature of polished 316L surface.

S Voice is kind of frustrating to use compared to Google Now or OK Google or whatever it's called. Google integrate your contact list and is much easier to make a call or sending messages using voice command either with phone or AW watch. It can detect names based on the contact list. S Voice on the other hand, just won't be able to detect the names on my contact list which are mostly local names. Lol.

So far the best I've used is siri. The worse is S voice.

Hi guys,

I need recommendation for a SmartWatch.

FYI, I'm currently using LG G Watch R, however the battery is dying, and it has dead pixel, so I'm now considering of upgrade to a new one. Can suggest me a good SmartWatch?

What you guys think of Huawei SmartWatch? Will Huawei release an upgraded version? Or should I go directly to Garmin Fenix 5X? Which is more than 1X more expensive than Huawei?

Thank you and onegaishimasu

Huawei Watch still a good choice, as it will have Android Wear 2.0 when it launch in Feb. I upgraded to Asus ZenWatch 3, performance wise I'll saw similar, lack heartrate sensor ( if that's your thing ) but gain ambient light sensor.

Normally will avoid those unpopular product/brand, as it most likely have bad software support.

If you are active person that doe alot of sport...i would say go with garmin, it offer much better battery life with thier monochrome screen..... 6 week of watch mode * damm awesome* but the down side is you wont have much fashionable watch face....

If you are casual type of person who like fashion, try out HW, it offer much more watch face then garmin did minus the heart rate sensor (not sure the new version include one) .... but you have to charge it daily on moderate usage...

Android Wear 2.0 is coming in Feb!!!

https://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/11/andro...ear-20-release/

Also, there seems to be recent confirmation of the existing watches that would receive the update:

http://www.androidauthority.com/android-we...watches-737740/

Google revealed the current list of smartwatches slated to get the Android Wear 2.0 update via an article on The Verge:

Moto 360 (2nd Gen.)
Moto 360 Sport
LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE
LG Watch Urbane
LG G Watch R
Polar M600
Casio Smart Outdoor Watch
Nixon Mission
Tag Heuer Connected
Fossil Q Wander
Fossil Q Marshal
Fossil Q Founder
Michael Kors Access Bradshaw Smartwatch
Michael Kors Access Dylan Smartwatch
Huawei Watch
Huawei Watch Ladies
Asus ZenWatch 2
Asus ZenWatch 3
It’s important to note that the 2.0 update will likely be rolled out for these watches throughout 2017, rather than all at once.

Thanks so much for the suggestion.

I still couldn't make my mine tho, I my self I want Fenix 5X but it just too expensive, was looking at Huawei but I think Asus not bad too, will definitely consider it.

I think Fenix 5 is in different category itself. If your primary objective is to get a smart watch for notification, reply call/sms, watch apps, fashion etc, then any AW watch is more suitable. If you are into sport, want to keep statistic, record forv training and need daily activity tracker then Fenix 5 or Fitbit is better choice. S3 is kinda in between, because of the rather good S-health app and heart rate tracking. I'm hoping the 2 categories to improve and merge in future, so we can get an all rounded smart watch :-)

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.

Ive been using everyday since I got it and yea. There are hairline scratches.. It gives the watch personality. Haha


If u want apps n function. Android wear is much better.
I was using 360 and Huawei and I got s3 because of the speaker n design only. Im still not liking the notifications and reply options.

For now Huawei is good choice. If dont mind flat tyre n not up to date get 360 I heard Moto gonna paused on smart watch. If not get Asus zen watch 3.

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

FYI, huawei watch also sort of proprietary
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

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