What model is that?
Serious question, what is the point of a smartwatch?
If you get a notification, you still have to look at your phone to respond to it.
If you wanted a watch, you should have just gotten a nice quartz or mechanical that doesn't need to be plugged into the wall every day.
>>51576145
there are notifications you don't need to reply:
> weather
> traffic warnings
> directions
Besides, it could be possible to use as a phone, but that looks retarded like those N-Gages.
Rocking a Gear Fit right now, but getting a Gear S2 in a few days.
>>51576188
your phone does those too
also, looking down at your watch is equally as distracting as glancing at your phone displaying directions.

can we just divert all smartwatch funding into smart-glasses funding please?

What if you're driving, smart guy? Its much easier to glance at your wrist (thats already on your steering wheel) than to pull up your phone from your pocket or cup holder or whatever.

>spent his entire mcdonalds paycheck on a digital meme viewer
>>51581171
pebble apps were designed for the pebble, so yes they'll be monotone. There are a lot apps that are made for color screens too, but the Steel was made to be backwards compatible with OG pebble apps.

>>51581674
>those bezels
>not adorned
they really screwed up on that. It's not even that bad on the time steel
>>51576377
Mines got that problem too. Is it hardware or software thats causing that?
when people ask me about my smartwatch and why I have it, they're obviously snooping because they're interested.
I just tell them the truth, it's a nice gadget and the stuff it does, it does well but it's lacking and it's not needed like a phone but it's nice to have.
>>51581770
Hardware, a ton of people have it, me included.
Also, how is this watch? Planning on getting it for christmas.
>>51581894
as an owner of the original, the original is nice and i wouldn't get the new one because it's missing the rose gold accent on the side of the watch.
If it has Wi-Fi and a heartrate sensor, then go right ahead, I like it a lot.
>>51581894
typically ASUS have great brand quality on most things.
>>51576188
I work a lot in different labs and I am coming into more and more situations where I can't interact with my phone. So being able to see notifications without touching my phone is rather handy.
>>51581982
Has wifi, they removed the heart rate sensor though but I'd probably never use it anyway.
>>51582028
i like the original one better. I also got a nmetal band for $10, so i know not to get ripped off by companies charging $50 for a new metal band (looking at you, pebble)
>>51582161
Not sure what I'll go with, original one doesn't seem to be sold anymore here by the looks of it. I'm guessing that every watch strap that fits the original will fit the 2? (22mm one)
got my lg g watch r on sale a week ago for $150. put a new band on it and i've been loving it. the inky blacks from the oled screen are way better than the lcd in my old g watch.
>>51582232
if it's 22mm then yes it'll fit. The larger one, that is. The smaller one uses smaller straps
I saw the old one on sale for $150, but the new one is on sale for $130 with the rubber strap. throw in any metal strap for a few bucks more and you've got yourself a snazzy watch with a band you picked yourself. Makes it personalized.

Only major problem I have with it is I can't initiate messages to other people like i can on android wear.
"OK Google, send a message to Anon 'you're a faggot'"
can't do that on pebble.
Also did you adjust the metal strap yourself? Pebble sent me one and the screws are messed up, I can only remove 2 with my screwdrivers. they're sending me a replacement but not for some time.

Why can't they make smart watches that look nice and not like something a child would wear? If they could somehow make a watch that is a normal watch with a movement and everything that has a projection screen onto the glass for notifications and shit, I'd wear the fuck out of it.

My first pebble steel had a tiny bit of scrambling so I rushed to get a new one under warrenty before it ran out. I don't even use my new one, especially since I'm too lazy to buy a new screen protector.
Apparently the Time doesn't get screen scrambling, but the build quality is terrible. I'd rather just not buy a new smartwatch.

Haven't tech companies invented sapphire crystals yet?
They just love reinventing the wheel after all.
>>51584051
I don't know, I'd just rather pay for a 5 dollar piece of plastic instead of a new watch if it gets a deep scratch on it somehow. It's not safe in my pocket like my phone.
Plus, it fits perfectly inbetween a sticker skin that covers the pebble logo on the front. Makes the huge black space not so terrible looking.
>>51584098
my point is that "dumbwatches" solved these issues 70 years ago when they introduced things like mineral glass and sapphire crystal to deter scratches.
It'll be a loooong time before smartwatches become an all-purpose replacement for a dumbwatch.

A badly matched watch makes you look like a child as well. Use a smartwatch when you are okay with looking casual or like a hipster, and a good looking watch when you want to look professional. You don't just buy one watch, anyway.
I feel like people just wear smart watches to look like tech people/trendy. I can't think of anything that is worn on the wrist that isn't a fashion statement, when you can just check the time on your phone.

phone games that don't get any more complex than dragging your finger to match shapes are not at all comparable to an RPG with an escapist narrative that is only available to play on a dedicated gaming handheld device.

>>51576145
Well I don't think anyone would argue that they are in anyway necessary, but I have found them to be handy in a few ways.
-First off, I'm used to wearing a watch anyway, so it's not a huge commitment for me.
-You can do easy tasks (responding to texts, reading emails, adding reminders or calendar events) without having to get out your phone.
-I personally can rarely feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and I don't like obnoxiously loud ringers, so I would often miss things. I ended up being conditioned to automatically check my phone every few minutes, without even thinking about it. That's really the worst part because it feels maddening and I start feeling like a phone addict. Not to mention in a lot of settings it's a little rude.
As far as charging it nightly, I don't mind. I charge my phone nightly anyway so it's just a small addition to my daily routine.
>>51576209
I would hold off on the s2 if I were you. As awesome as the bezel is, Tizen and s voice kind of ruin it, and it doesn't look like samsung will be improving them anytime soon.
>>51576377
if you contact pebble they will replace it, they replaced mine that is why i have two originals, although they did not send the second one with the kickstarter emboss on the back.

most smartwatches look casual (which is fine) but chinkwatch, lg one, tag and asus look very elegant. if u put an autistic facewatch on it of course it will look out of place.
i wear full suit to work and my chinkwatch matches silver/black belts and buckles very well. at least in the uk, nobody wears massive pimp-style rolexes anymore and business community has moved towards minimalist/bauhaus watches (junghans, junkers). new gen of smartwatches emulates these looks very well.

whole swiss industry missed the fucking boat on implementing smart functionality onto their designs and itll be the same story as with nokia that missed the phone revolution.
all they had to do was to break out a line matching their jew aesthetics with added benefits of a smartwatch but they fucking blew it. with all their resources and low barriers to entry they fucking blew it. only TAG is trying to get back in the game st the moment..

Smartwatches are great. They could be a lot better, especially battery life wise, but they will be in the future. Even at their current state they are still smarter than any normal watch.
I have the old LG G Watch since I wanted one that had a square screeen and replaceable band. I might accept round screens in the future but I really liked square screens better when I bought it.
>>51586308
It doesn't even matter if the warranty stands. I told them I had a screen tearing problem with my original Pebble and it was out of warranty. They sent me a new one and asked me to send them the old one. I didn't because I was lazy and they haven't said anything to me about not sending it.
G Watch, submersible up to 10ft, Android wear, 50$
I only paid for the Pebble (original) and the G-Watch. The Pebble Steel and Time may or may not have been social engineered. My problem is not nearly as bad as it appears

pebble lasts days due to B&W looking display +backlit.
Thing lets me reply to texts using hotkeys. That alone is worth $80 and gets more done than useless bling watch. I have a phone for time. To me-it is a personal distinction of character. It is useful to me first and foremost, secondly it tells others when I am talking to them that I am busy, especially when five emails hit my watch and I read them while someone is paused in the middle of thought. If you are purchasing watches with shinies on it then you obviously are trying to show off your possessions. That is my implication.
