Although I'm fully android for my phone and will not be switching back, I usually think apple has the better design choices. I honestly think the moto 360 is the best designed watch out there when it comes to the realistic watch faces you can put on it and the apple watch looks like complete garbage. The os looks hideous too

ilkhan posted:My 360 is getting returned. No major issues, and battery is fine for me, I just don't love it and have better things to spend the $250 on. It would be the full $250 and I'll cover shipping (which is what Id get for the return). The watch itself is pristine. Is it worth throwing up an s-mart thread? I was going to spend extra cash buying one because they're not in Canada yet. I'd gladly take it off your hands.

How are people outside of America getting the watches? I'm in Canada and people are selling them for over 400 but even still those have dried up. I'm guessing it's a huge song and dance.

Reverse Centaur posted:Yes but I was using the gently caress out of it as one tends to do the first day. I also need ambient mode. Luckily screen turning on seems pretty consistent, unlike my Gear Fit (45 degree angle for full screen, flat for ambient). Ambient doesn't make sense because the time doesn't update

Ambient mode with a watchface that updates weather kills my watch. Stock watchface I'm fine. I'm calling bs on your watch being able to do always on and last the day unless you're not taking about the 360. It kills mine in hours

Reverse Centaur posted:I do use a stock face (see above) which supposedly helps. I dunno why I would lie - the battery was super important to me and I didn't buy one until all the claims of the update fixing it. So you can set it to always on (it never sleeps or dims) and get a day out of it?

Technogeek posted:The screen in ambient mode can go black depending on the angle of the wrist. Basically, if the gyroscope thinks it might be visible to the wearer, it'll show the watchface; otherwise it says black. He said always on, which I take as the screen always being on. That rapes my battery.

Three Olives posted:I get all day battery with full brightness and always on screen. You said it there. Listen, I'm not trying to be difficult, I just didn't understand how you could keep your watch face on all day and get great battery life. Yes, ambient can get all day battery life, but using the trick to keep your screen on the whole time kills your battery. Also ambient doesn't update the time on certain faces. I've since reset my watch and am not going to bother using custom watchfaces or launchers until the new update releases and just stick to stock to see how the battery fairs. People on XDA are getting 2 days out of their watch with pure stock. E: Swipify launcher is the name of the app that will allow your screen to stay on.

I still can't get over square displays for watches. I really think rounds displays are the way to go in terms of making them look decent when you're out, whether its social or formal. Those things just stand out and look goofy.

I'm going to call a round watch face on the next gen of Apple watches. I'm not saying the square ones are worthless, but I just seriously think they're silly. Especially when you put a knock off watch face on it. Square isn't appealing. The moto 360 just looks loving swank. It needs to rid itself of the flat tire and get a retina display so the watch faces look even nicer.

Three Olives posted:Square analog watches go way back, like as far back as watches go, they are current now, expensive square watches, like current analog watches that costs tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Put a standard analog watch face on a square then round watch. I bet most people would prefer the round. Also a square smart watch looks like a smart watch. A round one slips in a lot better.

Anyways, I see where you're coming from Olives. I also think the Apple watch has the worst looking UI ever. Its so neon and black. At least Android wear is nicer on the eyes.

Jmcrofts posted:That's a good looking face. I only really like analog, and have yet to find an aftermarket face that looks better than the "Classic" that comes on the 360. The classic face also has indicators for when my calendar appointments are which is pretty freakin sweet. Classic is seriously awesome. Haven't found one other face to permanently switch to. Now it's really good because I can hide cards.

For some reason the first few days I tried voice recognition it sucked. Now I can send texts or set alarms for my break and not even look to see if it did it right.

Uninstall Facer and get Watchmaker. Imports the same files but its much easier to use, uses less battery and you can customize really well. Some of the designs are amazing too.

Sextro posted:Has anyone delved into the privacy policies of the various fitness tracker devices and their apps?

G-Prime posted:Who cares about a device with location tracking capabilities, which can tie into your cell phone and possibly collect personal data (including access to text messages, call records, and email, depending on the device), and can potentially phone home to the manufacturer via that same cell phone? Some people, that's who. It's a legitimate concern, even if it isn't applicable to everyone. I don't give a gently caress. If I did, I wouldn't own a smartphone because you know there's that chance. Especially when I'm using free services. I understand it's something that people worry about, but if Motorola or Apple knows I like shopping at Sam's Sex Shop for purple dildos and wants to sell that to the highest bidder then go nuts. In return, I'll most likely get targeted ads during my next inkling for a gag ball and that is worth it for me. I have nothing to hide, and if I do I'll not do it on social media or not on incognito mode. Take my cat photos too while you're at it.

I'm the same way. Don't give a gently caress about fitness tracking as I can do that when I'm at the gym by myself. I also get a lot of cardio during the day so know my steps are always above what doctors recommend.

Tunga posted:Compared to every other Wear device on the market it is noticeably laggy/jerky. People often comment on it when I demo it. I still love mine and you're right that it isn't a big problem in daily use but it's still there and I do notice it and that's a bit lame so I'd like to see them fix it next time. Using a four year old chip that you have lying around from a previous failed product in your flagship wearable is a bit of a joke, let's be honest. The battery life is also worse than comparable devices and it'd be nice to get another few hours from it in Ambient mode but personally I can live with it how it is. Again. It's not hot garbage. Battery life is a full day and sure, it'll get better. But its a great watch man.

To add, I have a 360 and always get all day battery life. I just hope android wear gets updated more because apple watch is going to put some serious competition their way. In a way that's good because it's kind of a slow burn and I know there's more functionality they could put in.

Hoping it's an anomaly because that's terrible battery life. Did any day one models have bad batteries and Costco scooped them up? Give it a few days. Light to medium use and I get home 7am-7pm with around 40% consistently

Your only option for a similar round watch that is cross platform is the Alcatel OneTouch and its pretty terrible at even being a watch, or so I've read. Also doesn't look really good in general.
