Bought an Asus Zenwatch from a forumer, an open set but 100% not used or even wear before and price are RM100 cheaper than the retail.
Paired it with my SGS Note3 with Android Wearable installed, pretty fast and easy setup and it's pretty compatible with most of the features.
Compares to pebble, the colours are much better since it's Amoled while Pebble is using e-Paper ethnology for their incoming colour version. And of course the Pebble will have better battery life but without a touch screen features as Zenwatch does.
As for Pebble, it supports both iOS and Android where iPhone user who don't prefer for the huge price tag of iWatch will opt for it but Zenwatch can only support Android Smart Phones.
Anyway, since I just bought it and will observe the battery life for this Zenwatch to update you guys here.

QUOTE(amdx @ Jul 1 2015, 11:02 AM) i'm using pebble time, also ex-owner of lg watch, watch r, pebble steel. to me, it's different league if were to compare side by side. And correction on the OLED being used on pebble time, these are color e-paper technology, not OLED. I think: Pebble - more towards notifications push ONLY, other apps. are value added to make it more functional but not to compete with AW (android wear or apple watch), the only thing integrated to the new pebbleOS is the timeline feature, also the improvement of overall animated UI. AW - aside from notification push, its actually integrated with alot of OS native app. the ecosystem is slightly open if compare to pebble. But Android wear only can pair with android devices, while apple watch for iOS users. as if you want your smart watch to be able to support both worlds, pebble is the one to go then. unless, u just need activity tracker, then you will have plenty of choices. My bad regarding the "OLED". Actually I really like the Pebble Steel Series which comes with the Steel Straps, the battery life is really good compares to any Android ear and iWatch. Just I prefer the touch screen features and that's why I opt for an Android Wear. As for Amoled screen, it's not a necessity for me since I just need read to read some msg or time clearly will be fairly enough. Wanted to try some China brand Android Wear at the beginning but after I saw the price tag of this ZenWatch, I thought of getting a better support from a well known brand. |

QUOTE(shahruls @ Jul 9 2015, 12:23 PM) Sometime my zenwatch disconnect from my note 3, i used stock lolipop os for note 3. It just for 2 second but it annoying because got notification from both device,sometime only notification from zenwatch. Is this nomal? Guess the problem is on the Note3 itself, I have this problem too but it will reconnect in few secs. This will happens a few times in a day and heard that Note 4 also having this problem too. After a week observing, I can get around 40 hours of battery life with "Always Screen On" disabled and "Titl" disabled, normal usage with just phone notifications from social apps and phone calls. |

I do read that there's some China Brand of SmartWatch which is capable of being a standalone phone, not sure how's the durability of the watch itself and the stability of their OS'es. At the moment Samsung Gear S is the only standalone smartwatch, it's expensive but at least it have FW support by Samsung. The downside is it's running on Tizen OS (Samsung's own OS) which may only pair to certain Samsung's phone if not mistaken.
