Basically as you spend money they give you certificates to use on future purchases. Kind of like cash back programs. You have to be a Rewards Zone member (free) and use that on every purchase to accumulate points.

I can't get a link size that I'm happy with on the huatch. Either too tight or too loose, and there's no additional adjustment like very other metal band I've had. I love the watch in general but this is almost a deal breaker. Is there some way to make small changes to butterfly clasps that I'm missing?

I had that issue on the gen 1 360. Just settled on loose and it always aggravated the poo poo out of me. The leather strap on the Huawei fits absolutely perfect. Too bad it doesn't look all that great to me (I prefer metal) but drat if it isn't comfortable.

If you're not wearing a NATO strap, you're doing it wrong.

I haven't used Android Wear in a while, so this may not be new. When driving, I remember the watch waking up a million times and draining the battery. Putting it into theater mode helped this. I just got finished driving home via the freeway and was using Google Maps. It put the watch display into a basic black and white mode with an outline of the map on the screen and the next turn on the lower card. Don't think this is new. What seemed to be new was the fact that over ~40mph, when I raised my wrist, the display didn't wake. It stayed in the dim black and white mode. Tried it several times on the freeway, never woke. When I exited and slowed, raising my arm turned the watch fully on with colors, waking it. Is this new or am I seriously out of date? Seems like a great feature since I use navigation a lot and recall it chugging power on the gen 1 360 because it woke the face up with every movement it seemed.

Ugh... I was gonna refuse delivery on this but my link strap sizing issues got me to open it and try it. It's a no brainer improvement as far as comfort/fit goes but I don't like the look as much, even though it looks great.

Stopped by Best Buy today and saw they did have a few of the 2nd gen 360s in the case, 4 total and all were 42mm. Two of them were men's all black and two were the rose gold women's. If they would have had any of the 46mm silver, I would have snapped one up.

I don't know if this is just a problem for me, or with a setting on my Moto 360, maybe you guys can help out. I often find that when I'm wearing long sleeves that aren't loose, so like a coat or something, my 360 is forever picking up the sleeve as long pressing on the watch face and going to the "choose a new face design" menu. Needless to say, this is annoying. Is this likely to be because the 360's screen is flush with the bezel, and I'd not have the same problem with a different device, one with a raised bezel/recessed screen?

That shouldn't be happening at all because unless your sleeves have conducting threads in them, cloth shouldn't be able to register a touch input on a capacitance display. So, I really have no clue how this is happening or how to fix it.

That's OK, I'm baffled by it as well. It may be down to a faulty unit and not directly related to the sleeve at all. Thanks anyway!

Also while a recessed screen will make it less common the fabric still doesn't have to dip/bend much to touch the middle of the display so it is still possible.

Zenwatch 2 available for preorder at Newegg The larger version with rubber strap for 130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16886320002 The smaller version with leather strap for 150 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16886320004 Keep in mind the smaller version has lower resolution(280x280 vs 320x320) and also has a smaller battery(300 vs 400 mah) I believe. No HR monitor or GPS or QI for either one. I have absolutely terrible luck with ASUS products but I still caved and preordered the larger version. Edit: Actually don't order from Newegg. It says nonreturnable and nonexchangeable which is ridiculous. It's available to pre-order from bestbuy which has a better return policy. lostleaf fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Sep 28, 2015 |

Fossil is starting to ramp up their marketing info about their "Fossil Q" line. No real info, just confirmation there will be a "connected bracelet" (fitness tracker, I assume), a "connected non-display watch", and a round face display (with flat tire) Android Wear watch with an Intel processor.

Dagnabit, should have sold my Urbane last week. Presenting the Urbane 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdRymDRtPJA quote:Tonight LG took the wraps off of the new V10 phone and its latest smartwatch, the Watch Urbane 2nd Edition. Like the first model, it has a circular display but one-ups its predecessor by arriving as the first device to combine Android Wear with a built-in cellular connection for calls and data, so you can leave your phone at home -- something even the upgraded Apple Watch can't do. LG already had a webOS-powered Watch Urbane LTE that could go it alone, while Samsung's Gear S ran Tizen. Packing Android Wear means this watch should have more apps ready for internet-connected use even when your phone and WiFi are out of range. Behind its 1.38-inch 480x480 res P-OLED display there's a 570mAh battery that LG claims can still last through the day with the help of a Power Saving Mode. There's no word on price or exact release date yet, but it's coming to the US and Korea first. http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/30/lg-watch-urbane-2nd-edition/ Looks great IMO. This is what some (including me) were expecting at IFA. UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Oct 1, 2015 |

RMA process with Moto went smooth other than the fact that they didn't have a category under the web form for my issue (cracked back). Finally settled on "Accessories" -> "Other" since the chat person not to choose physical damage for the reason for the RMA. They emailed me a prepaid Fedex shipping slip and I sent the watch out. It arrived at their location on Monday and by Tuesday evening I had a fedex label notification email. I noticed that the package finally shipped yesterday and this morning I got an email from Moto saying my replacement device had been shipped. Fedex says I should have it Friday.

Tunga posted:I don't quite understand this either. Presumably it requires a SIM card. So now you're paying two phone bills and people have to guess whether to call your watch or your phone? It sounds laughable. Am I missing something? You will be able to added it to a plan on a supported carrier for $10 max a month who will also probably take care of call forwarding/caller ID for the watch. Also the thing that you are missing is people who work out regularly.

So maybe I was never the wear power user the rest of you are but using my 360 on the 6S has been pretty good. I lose reply from the wrist for some apps but it is clear that Google is making their apps and platform on iOS Not poo poo these days. Last time I tried Google stuff on an iPhone two years ago was a poo poo show, but this is pretty good.
