Smartwatch Thread (news/apps/updates)

With all the new smart watch announcements nothing has really caught my eye which is a shame. I have a gear fit 2 but may go for a Gear S2 watch now prices have come down.

Anyone got the S2 who can comment on it?
 
Alcatel showed off a new Wear watch as well: http://www.androidauthority.com/alcatel-movetime-wifi-714501/

Still a budget watch but it looks better than their previous offerings.

... You know with all these Tizen based Samsung watches being talked about in this thread, I'm starting to wonder if this thread should be renamed as a general smartwatch thread :p.
 
Yup, kinda looks good, the latest batch on the horizon.....I am still running a Moto 360 v1, but it is showing signs of wear and tear now. Zenwatch 3 looks interesting, although so does the imminent S3...then again, the ~fish Nexus watches could be good too!
 
Really enjoying my GF2 at the moment.

After switching from my iPhone (and Apple Watch) to the Note 7 I wanted something that was lighter, had longer battery and was, oddly enough, more simple.

This GF2 ticks all the boxes. Has around 3-4 days battery life and I use it solely as a tracker for my running, cycling etc. So nice not having to take my phone with me every where.
 
I just bought my first smartwatch, sony smartwatch 3, I am a sony buff so it kind of was the only way especially given the price compared to others.

I always thought people with smart watches were ****s, but actually today is my first day with it, its very useful and I will invest when the newest generation comes out i suppose.
 
Any of the Android Wear devices are fairly useless with iOS as only notifications will work.
An Apple Watch would probably be your best bet. Possibly a new version being announced tomorrow so you might be able to get the old one cheap.

Been searching all day, just ordered a Garmin Forerunner 235, should be perfect for my needs.

Hi guys, looking to buy my 1st smartwatch for iOS. Budget is 200-250 euros. Any recommendations? It has to look nice! Don't need many features.

I agree, if I had an iPhone it would be an Apple Watch, nothing else. Unless I needed a Garmin or something specific for sports.
 
How many in this thread have abandoned them now the initial fad has worn off?
The Geek in me wants one but I know after a few months it will get put in a drawer.
 
I still use mine every day - mainly for the time and notifications.

I like being able to decide if I need to get my phone out or not as I'm usually very busy at work and only respond to important emails until break/dinner.
 
Used every day. I hate if I switch phones for a review and forget to pair up the new phone before leaving the house. (For some reason you need to connect a power source for a few seconds during set-up, still don't really know why)
