Smartwatch Thread (news/apps/updates)

Is MobileFun a reputable site?

I've bought loads of stuff off them over the years, only one or two minor problems but were able to sort them.

I've purchased a Samsung Gear S3 frontier from them and wasn't expecting it to be available until next week, I was surprised when I had a dispatch email from them yesterday, the only problem now is it's stuck in DPD's Cardiff depo, I've got to wait until Monday :(
 
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.

As per my edit, for some reason it came off charge around an hour after I put it on charge the night before, so it hadn't been charging overnight as I'd thought. No idea what went wrong as it was connected to the charger in the morning - just wasn't charging.

No such problems today though. Took it off charge at 8.45am this morning and still have 77% battery now.
 
Just realised that the huawei watch has a speaker :) and can apparently take calls using it.

Anyone else tried this and having problems?

I've got the speaker turned on and checked the watch is paired with my S6 edge, which it is and says enabled for voice calling etc. But when I try and make a call it either makes it then disappears off the screen and continues on the phone or it rings a couple of times on the watch speaker then stops and goes on the phone only again.


Also if I go to the bluetooth settings on the phone the huawei watch is listed as a paired device and says "Connected for call audio" but its greyed out and tapping it says "bluetooth connection with huawei watch has ended". Yet I can still initiate the call from the watch so its clearly still connected.
 
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:

It's basically the connector for the charger, it's a bit finicky to be honest and sometimes will charge and sometimes won't depending on how you place it down, need to make sure those pins are connected.

There's a slight pause when you put it down between starting the charge and if memory serves me correct you get a short vibrate once it starts.
 
Just collected my S3 Frontier about an hour ago. It's really rather handsome :D

We'll see how it performs over the coming days.

Welcome to the Club :p Interested to hear your thoughts - still finding my way round mine, but very pleased with it. I *nearly* got 4 days battery life out of it, too (Mon 6.00am to Fri 12.30am and 5% left.....plonked on charge).
 
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. It's my first smartwatch.
Mine as well! I keep looking at it adoringly - and therefore have been accused of clock-watching all afternoon :D

After three hours, it's been used a fair bit and the battery has gone down 8%. I'm hopeful it will settle more as time goes on - these figures prove nothing for now. The screen is very nice, clear to read and you can fit a surprising amount on it. Typing messages to respond on Whatsapp is easier than I thought and tonight I'll test the voice controls. The control system is intuitive and simple. I like it. It's fast and very responsive to the controls as well. It's fairly large, but I've seen bigger non-smartphones so it doesn't bother me.

Thanks :D

I'm hopeful it charges pretty quickly, as I'll just charge it in my study in the evening every couple of days - and keep it on at night so it can keep an eye on my sleep patterns.
 
Ordered a frontier at the weekend, they waited until today to tell me it was out of stock though...the day I was meant to receive it! Ffs

Anywhere other than mobilefun got these in stock at all?

Just got my Huawei watch and been making calls using it, I feel like James Bond, apart from the start where I forgot to turn the phone sound on and was basically arguing and shouting at my watch :) luckily I wasn't in public.

Somebody mentioned John Lewis.
I checked earlier and none were in stock. Tried a few minutes ago and it said two, so ordered one quickly :)
Missed tomorrow delivery by a few mins so should be here Wednesday.

Now out of stock again, but worth checking back frequently.

Well after a phone call from security and and someone keying in the wrong number I get a cancelled order email. Ring up to find out and reinstate order to find my allocation has just been taken by someone else.

Thanks a bunch John Lewis :(


Just to add insult to injury I rang the bank to check on my card and they said that JL had been taken 3 lots of £384 and I'm not even getting a watch!! :mad:

No idea what their merchant team is up to or why they cancelled an order for which they have 3 times the amount required to pay for it :o
