Smartwatch Thread (news/apps/updates)

Enjoying mine, came yesterday, feels of nice quality as my other watch is a Brietling I thought it would feel cheap but doesn't really nice screen and quality strap which I will change for a difference colour at some point. Very snappy and quick through the menus, nice to see on your wrist why your phone is buzzing away in your pocket while your driving.
Very handy reminder system which you store via voice and my calendar sync's in nicely.

How are you finding it? I got mine today and I can't figure out why my notification aren't being displayed. When I first paired it to my Pixel it displayed the unopened mortifications I had but since then nothing is showing up.

Mine seem to be okay. Have you checked through permissions perhaps? Phone and Watch. Have you had a smartwatch before? You need to allow notifications to be passed to it.

Nope, first smartwatch for me. Where would I find permissions on the watch? Do not disturb is switched off and when I installed android wear I allowed notifications but still no luck.

edit: I've found permissions on the watch and enabled every single option but I couldn't see anything directly related to notifications.

edit2: I think I've got it working. Permissions on my phone was blocking notifications for sms but when I allowed that it seems to have allowed Gmail notifications to come through too :confused:

its not so much tacking like that, its routing. in one of there promo videos it says something along the lines of easily see if you are still on route.
apple watch has view ranger app(they made no announcement for android so i'm assuming they have at least a 1 year exclusivity deal), i dont know what Samsung have.
google maps do not show walking routes.

Got my Huawei w1 yesterday and it's a lovely piece of kit for the price it is right now! But it's hammering the battery on my Samsung s6 edge+

Left the house at 8 this morning fully charged and I'm down to 22% with what I would consider minimal use :confused:

That can't be right!

That isn't right. What does it say is using battery in the stats?

I got one yesterday too, coming from my GWR which I like, this is very nice. :)
 
Not overly impressed with the battery life of the watch itself either. Unplugged at around 10.30am this morning and it's down to 5% battery now.

Edit: just checked the battery details and it's saying it's been off charge since last night :confused:

yeah something not right there. I took mine off charge at around 6:30am and didn't seat it on the charger right at the end of that day :rolleyes:. By the end of the next day it still had 20% batt at 10:30 at night.

My previous 360 would have died probably mid morning on the 2nd day.

The only thing I don't like about this watch is the vibration. Compared to my 360 its soooo loud. I can basically hear the vibration motor more than I can feel it.
