Warning Cookoo Watch DO NOT BUY

hey just thought i would let you guys know not to purchase this watch, i bought it and the experience has been horrible!
there web site had showed it would support our phone and a few other androids, guess what happens at launch it now supports Ios ONLY(shifty and shady)
the device is a cool idea and hopefully can be pulled off by another company someday.....but this company is a joke of all jokes first of all they dont have a phone number, email correspondence takes days(i am pretty sure email is instant and its 2012), when i got the item its addressed to someone else in Florida(i am in Minnesota)
needless to say this is a warning for everyone considering this item down the road i honestly think i am out of $150 on this deal because non stop emails to cookoo support and the inventor have got me no where. I purchase just about everything online, have it shipped, and end up with a smile.....this on the other hand has been the worst online purchase i have ever made hoping i can get the word out!

This isn't entirely true.
I supported this watch as a kickstarter project and they did state that they would be supporting Android. While currently they have only released the iOS app, as an early backer I have received plenty of communication as to their progress on the Android app. I have found their service to be efficient and their communication to be prompt.
They currently have a version of the app that works for HTC phones, and are working on making this work for Samsung phones, SPECIFICALLY the Galaxy SIII. Just like everything else, the uniformity of iOS makes development quite easy for it, and like just about everything else, apps are released for iOS before Android. I realize this is a generality, but it's often the case.
They have enlisted the help of recognized developers from this very community and they will have an app for your phone soon.

Try initial a dispute charges with your credit card company. Don't pay the scammers.

Wow i wanted to order one. They look really good. In an article they said the watch would work on andrid 4.1. Doesn't it autopair through bluetooth? It needs the app?

There is a beta on the Play Store compatible only with Samsung devices. Would love to see if someone could get it and make it available to everyone. This cookoo team has really done nothing to little to satisfy their promises to develop for Android. Choosing just the S III/S IV is pretty obtuse in my opinion.

My experience has not been anything like that. It was also clear that as a BT 4.0 low energy device it would not be supported until Android or the manufacturers fork of Android supported BT 4.0. That didn't happen until Android 4.3 came out, or earlier on a few select phones. There are all kinds of BT gadgets that have not worked until very recently, if at all.
At the moment as has been pointed out only the Samsung S4 is supported, I've been in contact with the Kickstarter team and had a couple of responses so far. Yes they take a few days to respond - as you can imagine there probably get hundreds if not thousands of emails. So far it sounds like they have a general Android 4.3 app ready but are waiting on something from Google to get it released . I'm not sure what that could be - but I'm starting to wondering if they actually mean that they are waiting for Android 4.4 which might have some BT API bug fixes or something like that. Since Android 4.4 will be rolling out for Nexus devices very soon - within a month? - I have already ordered my device. They have assured me it will work with Android as soon as the app comes out.
With Kickstarter you are investing in the concept - you have to be patient. Some are just looking for money to fund a volume order, some need much more than the money - time too! I have another Kickstarter project that is now delayed from July release to Feb 2014. It sucks because I really wanted the device right now and may have to buy something temporary, but like I said, this is an investment not just a "pre-order" whether you like it or not.
I hope you can be patient and eventually very happy with the watch!

anyone have an APK I can try on the Xperia Z?

Sony Smartwatch 3 launch

Any hints of when the new Sony Smartwatch is coming? I don't wanna dish out $200 to then get a new version a few days later :good:

It will be around November

Oh, too long to wait. Damn. I like new SmartWatch 3, but I want it now.

i dont, i greatly dislike android wears voice command centric control system so i was quite dissapointed when they backtracked and decided to go android wear, id much rather have touch and buttons, shouting at my wrist does not feel right to me, as such ill be getting an SW2 instead

Not everything is voice controlled. I never saw review that even somebody was talking voice commands. With Android Wear you can do much more and there is a lot apps for Android Wear. I'm happy that they put AW into SW3. It's good choice.

just waiting

You can preorder it at the sony website and the delivery date is "starting october 16th".

In Germany you can buy the Sony Smartwatch 3 at the 05.11.14 from a local saturn shop

Hopefully
Hopefully you can buy it on 5th November in Saturn. The Website says: "ready for collection" on 5th November.

Who's getting one?

Hey all
Along with many other manufacturers, Asus has thrown its latest smartwatch into the wild. On the face of it the device looks sleek, with a leather strap rather than the plastic ones we're seeing with a lot of other smartwatches. Its expected to be around the 200 Euro mark, and although not as fully featured as devices such as the Samsung Gear S, the price point seems about right for the feature set and specifications. Has Asus done enough to tempt anybody?

I've had an LG for about 2 months.. yeah i think i'll sell it and go the zenwatch

I was going to but I got impatient and I went with the G Watch. so far I am very pleased with it.

Really liked this watch in pics but they were taking too long. So I got a 360.

I love it. Convenient to just glance at your wrist to see info instead of having to pull out your phone. And the abundance of custom faces keeps it exciting because you can have a different look everyday.

I'm really struggling with myself not to get a LG G Watch or Moto 360 - How the struggle ends, depends on when Asus start shipping. I've preordered the Zenwatch at expansys, but the news that there'll be only 300 released in the first batch has dampened my high hopes....

Is that actually confirmed by Asus? I only saw an article with no official source. Just a claim.
I can't see Asus only releasing 300 in the first batch. That would be a joke. I'm sure they have 300 already that are being used as demo devices.
The article in question is this one: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/asus-zenwatch-limited-release/
Because we all know the accuracy of Chinese websites... [emoji57]

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for too. A batch of 300 just wouldn't make sense. Unless they are completely hand crafted, making 300 or 300.000 should really make no difference, once you can assemble a single one. For my peace of mind, I'll stick to the theory that 300 units is bull poo.

Ive preordered one but disappointed about the only 300 rumour and not likely in volume before 2015. Come on asus, get them out there...

Unless there's a shortage of components. Seeing as most of these watches appear to have the same innards that could be an issue?
300 does seem to be deliberately contrary though! Might cancel my pre-order and get the new Microsoft watch instead, just to spite any manufaturers trying to play the market.
No updates though?

Oh - I just jizzed in my pants! Looks legit: http://shop.asus.co.jp/teaser/

This will be the first product I buy new in many, many years. For a long time now, I've always bought second-hand. But I want this watch so much I will be buying it as soon as it becomes available. Originally, I thought I would be buying the Apple Watch, but once again the greedy ****s have priced their product beyond reasonable. That, and I don't have an iPhone anymore (no big loss).
I actually have a Moto 360 on the way because I got tired of waiting. As soon as I can get my hands on the ZenWatch, I'll sell the 360.

I'd actually wait in a line to buy this watch.

I think I'm gonna pick this watch up along with a gear s when ever that is released

Looks like it's being released today in Japan. Anybody know if the Zen can make voice calls?

More like "late November" as far as i can tell.
http://shop.asus.co.jp/zenfone/#Zenwatch

Yeah, well the 300 number was right, for the price anyway:
"ASUS is October 28, has announced it will launch Android Wear equipped with smart watch "ASUS ZenWatch" the (WI500Q-BR04) in late November. Assumed actual sales price 29,800 yen (tax not included)."
**** that.

Wtf didn't they say it will cost less then $200??

Can you pay for stuff using the watch in stores etc?

Hi
Sorry if stupid question but I'm getting my smart watch 3 steel delivered later today and was wondering is it possible to set up and pay for things using contactless payments??
My new bank cards allow it and I think it's possible on apple pay etc
Thanks

The SW3 has NFC, but it is not supported by the current Android Wear OS. And Android Pay does not yet support this either. One would hope that Google will be upgrading its OS and Pay system to support this, if only to better compete with Apple Pay and the Apple Watch, but I haven't heard any reports of it being supported yet.

Worth Buying?

Hi,
I love this watch, build quality, specs etc. But is it worth buying it today almost 2 years after its release date? A new one cost a little bi more than $200.
I know google stopped supporting and Oreo isnt comming, how big of deal is that? If so, is it likeley that a ROM will come?

Yes it's worth buying even after two years,I would happily buy it again

Thanks! Do you guys think someone will develop a ROM with OREO for it?

How are the batteries holding up after 2 years?

No. Android Wear is not open source which is why you don't see Lineage OS or anything like that on any watches. The only hope for oreo on this device is if someone can get the HW 2 firmware working on the HW once its oreo update is pushed. It's a long shot but not unprecedented since someone got the Android Wear 2.0 (nougat) firmware from the Lg G watch R working on the regular G watch. I think those watches were much more similar hardware wise though than the HW is to the HW 2.

Still have or 40% left when I put it on the charger at night. I have not really noticed any reduction in battery time.

I bought mine last week as a replacement (finally!) of my Samsung gear 2 neo. I absolutely love this watch. I have had a lot of compliments on how it looks, and when I took it to a jeweler to get a couple of the links taken out the shop owner said he was really impressed and had me e-mail him a link to get one for himself. I will have to get another band before I run with it though.

I bought this watch three days ago and could not be more pleased. Very good construction quality, excellent materials, very well designed because it is not sporty or very formal. I knew I would not receive more updates from Goggle, but I still did not hesitate to buy. At the moment I am very satisfied. The watch does everything I was looking for in this type of equipment.

Only complaint is screen burn-in as I have it on all the time. Otherwise still looks good, and I still get compliments.

I haven't had burn in issues. To answer the OP's question, this is probably the best Android Wear watch you can get in terms of features and yes it's still worth buying. The newer watches are good (zen watch 3, Huawei watch 2... etc) but some lack some feature than the Huawei Watch 1 has.

This is the most 'watch like' smart watch you can get - it has all the features you need and looks good. I am always getting asked about it... no one believes it;s an 'old' model!

I just bought mine locally. I got a good price and was blown away when the guy I bought it from opened the box and I saw how beautiful it was. I have a gear s3, but needed something to where when I'm dressed up and this watch fits the bill. Battery life is better than my Gear S3 by far. I don't care about upgrading to Oreo. The watch does everything that I need it to do and looks great to boot.

Totally worth it. My first one broke in March. Decided to get the s3 frontier to replace the Huawei. But it just wasn't the same. I still needed a classy non bulky watch when I dress up. So bought I replacement huawei around December of last year. Got it used and I'm so glad to have this watch again. Very classy looking. I've always received compliments then and I still do now. S3 not once did I get any compliments on it and in my opinion it is too bulky for long sleeve and jackets.
