Apple Iwatch announcement - Moto 360

This things is an identical copy of sammys. Very happy I went with the 360! I can't stand the square design apple came up with. I was intrigued until this announcement.

it looks awful to me. it looks like the watch a child would wear.

Gonna be returning 360.

Holy cow, I can't believe how thick and ugly that thing is! Incredible. I would put it near the bottom of the list on smartwatch design. I almost laughed when I saw it. Look at the profile of it, not the angle shots.

Not trolling. The 360 has terrible battery life and the app ecosystem on apple's watch looks way more polished. Also I'm not a fan of the wedge on the 360, nor the fact that stuff is cut off due to the round display.

Yeah, specs don't mean chit nowadays. I prefer using my nexus 5 to my Xperia z2 or anything that Samsung touchwiz has come on, because its so much cleaner and doesn't lag. Apple iPhone 6+ may not have the quad HD display but it'll provide a great user experience. Also the integration between iOS 8 and my macbook pro, as well as contactless payments will work great.

Don't care how much, as long as the experience is better.

Assuming 1 day battery life from the "easy to charge at night" comment.

This is the best comment of the day. Apple announcing nothing would have been better than releasing this design. Seriously what were they thinking? Jobs is rolling over is his grave right now..

iWatch was ok until they showed the thick side profile. Eye sore like the new iPhone 6.

That image burns my eyes.

aside from how ugly this device is...
I really wished the moto 360 had NFC built in as well as some of the other sensors.
That aside, you really can't talk about the app ecosystem for the watch yet... the device isnt out, you wont know how polished or unpolished they are until the device is actually in consumer hands.
all that said, I welcome the competition, it gives android the motivation for making an even better product.

It actually looks good and besides, the keys can be easily handled by a dev. Hopefully Samsung is quick to release the GS3 earlier than they released the GS2.
By the time I am ready to upgrade my phone again (mid 2013), hopefully, there will be a galaxy s4.
I cant. Beleive people are already chomping to have the GS3 come out. America is turning into that needy fat kid that lives next store whom you can always here calling for more in the squeekiest, winniest voice ever

wow
We can only hope.
How are those "leaked images" if they were generated by user on a Russian concept phone site?
Too. Much. Bezel.
Beat Apple to it, you know the iPhone5 is going to have ulta-minimal bezel.
I know it's an unofficial concept image, but, it's likely right on--roughly speaking. It's time for these companies to stop just achieving design parity with Apple and actually surpassing them. They have an entire fncking year to do it every. single. time. Our specs slaughter the iPhone, constantly...for years now. Time to leapfrog in the physical design department.
Thinner, the least bezel possible, moar screen, moar battery. Get on it Samsung.
PS; Samsung....better radios, plox.

I certainly hope that isn't a real clock widget... If you look at the month dial, it reflects the wrong month where "Jun" is. Should be "Jul".

Yeah, given that the source article cites...well, nobody, I have a hard time swallowing it.
However, that concept is interesting--notice the 3 "lenses" at the top. Could this be a hint (or at least, speculation) of a Kinect-integrated WP8 powered device coming later this year?
I hope so--MS really needs to kick it into high gear if they want to make a useful dent in Apple and Android's market share

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I actually wouldn't mind something similar to what that concept is.
The eternally continuous long list of apps is annoying to go through. I think maybe that's why iOS and Android have the different pages. There was probably some sort of research that indicated that people get fatigued by endless lists.
And bravo to the kinect idea. That would be great, and would definitely give WP a wow factor above the other platforms (finally).

Ya, the 3 corners + a round one looks conceptualike. (Notta word)
The three holes in the screen are camera, ambient light sensor, and maybe a flash or multi color led ?
FFacing flash would rock, as would a multicolor led.
I don't really like the picture, but I hope it will be announced in June. They might announce it then and release 5-6 months later, with Windows 8

When you squint, the phone will enlarge fonts and zoom on pages. The suggest the nearest optician.
Double tap, tilt to zoom, features already available because Kinnect on Xbox and Windows isn't that good, so I highly doubt it will be any good on a mobile device.

iPhone Killer?....Really?...People still say that?

Ok,
So I was having a "civil" conversation with a resident Apple Fanboy at work about how Google Now beats Siri on a basic head to head test, which he proceded to repsond, "And? Its still no iPhone killer." Now letting you know how that debate is pointless, especially if you have actually argued with a Apple fnaboy. Its truly a waist of time. However my point or my soap box is, this how "iphone killer" thing is irrelevant.
Even with jelly bean and ICS out you still have folks who will say how the Nexus out shines the new iPhone in almost every aspect but then....bam..."but its no iPhone killer"
What is an "iPhone killer?" Because based on my experience the statement should be, "yeah the iPhone is nice pretty and built well, but its no, Android killer" Anyway just a random rant.

The iPhone is a better UX. Having used both platforms, I can genuinely say I prefer iOS. Android has more features, and the openness and packability is nice, but Apple designs hardware better than any Android OEM, and iOS is perfectly nice out of the box on my iPad

Huawei watch 1 - Nothing looks as good

Hey
Am I the only person that thinks there isn't another smart watch that looks as good as the Huawei watch 1? I mean it's not too bulky and looks like a cool normal watch. I have a black one. I wish they would just release a new version with the same body but updated hardware. The only thing that irritates me is the notification buzz, it's too loud. I'f i'm at work it's annoying for the people around me. Other than that I think it's really cool. Had it for a good few years now.
Any just sharing my thoughts
Still using mine and it's absolutely amazing. Won't be changing it any time soon. Great watch.
Send from Huawei P10 Plus with Tapatalk
Only just stopped using mine and it's simply down to the fact it doesn't have NFC. Still the best watch IMO, just lacking that one feature I like
I picked up a used one a couple of weeks ago and I love it. It looks GREAT, still runs very smoothly, and the display still seems to be one of the best around.
Fossil Q Gen 5 Carlyle looks good too, but is the new kid on the block ahahah
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A6000 mediante Tapatalk
I actually just managed to bring up new life in my Huawei W1 by changing its battery myself(a lot easier than I thought...saw a youtube video). Got a battery from Aliexpress. The old one was very swollen.
Now it runs just as smooth as when I first got it.
Too bad that now I also want the Fossil 5 Gen(only because of NFC...and rotating bezel...and hopefully better charging procedure that does not require fiddling every damn time)
Just picked one up off kijiji for $100 CAD. Loved it the moment i saw it when it came out but didn't agree with Huawei's pricing. It IS beautiful, but people were not gonna spend that money on a brand that (back in those days) ppl didn't really know. It was always been on my mind. Jumped at the chance to get it. It's just a BEAUTIFUL watch! I get more compliments on it than on anything else. Just got back from 2 weeks in California. Tons of ppl asking me 'What the hell is that?!', followed by, "Wow! Nice!"
great watch, really loved mine. used it for 4 years......then the chargers started dying, 1 after another.....4 chargers later...the watch wont charge., only sometimes...was really sad
Have you tried polishing the contacts on the back of the watch? Same happened to mine, would only charge sometimes and only if the charger was in exactly the right place. Gave it a good clean and polish on the watch contacts (not the charger) and it's been working great since

What was your procedure for clean and polish? I've tried but it gets bad again pretty quickly.
I've got a dremmel / rotary tool thing that has a polishing attachment - I use that around the contacts then wipe down with a microfibre cloth afterwards.
I just got a GT2 for Christmas, which I really like. However my W1 is still the best looking smart watch.... If only Wear OS didn't suck battery so quick when on full sync. If sync is off I get several days of use, but sync on and I get a day and a bit if lucky. Whereas the GT2 will get a couple of weeks...

I just got a GT2 for Christmas, which I really like. However my W1 is still the best looking smart watch.... If only Wear OS didn't suck battery so quick when on full sync. If sync is off I get several days of use, but sync on and I get a day and a bit if lucky. Whereas the GT2 will get a couple of weeks... View attachment 4910847View attachment 4910849

I think the GT2 looks better. How are you dealing with the lack of wearOS features? I have an original Huawei watch, looking at a GT/
Didn't use most features day to day so I'm fine.

Yep. Not been charged yet. Straight out of the box on Christmas Day. Still on 64%. I have constant heart monitoring, stress test and upped the screen timeout to 10 seconds.

Great price. The only thing it doesn't have is speaker phone and newer heart rate monitor. The rest seems to be pretty much the same. [emoji4]

I just bought the MK Lexington 2 Gold, loved the look of the watch, absolutely gorgeous...BUT... My 3 + Year old HW1 still gets better battery life and unfortunately neither live up to the Samsung GW 46mm. Still love and use my HW1, but it doesn't go on business trips.
BTW I returned the Mk.
