I'm not upgrading again until the tech is available for continuous HR monitoring that doesn't suck.

With Wear 2.0 and new Qualcomm chipsets all on the horizon, it's definitely good to wait for new announcements if you can.

"Upgraded" my HWatch to 2.0 last night. I like some of what they're doing but I think I'll be reverting to an older version for the first time in my history of Android device ownership. There's a lot of polish required here, especially with the new notifications and the gestures on the face. I hope face selection is moved back to being a long press, it being on swipe is way too easy to trigger unintentionally. When they said developer preview 1 they meant it this time around.

There isn't really anything you can do to improve android wear at this point hardware-wise, beyond some amazing technological innovation.

This is perfect timing, since the back glass on my OG 360 broke last week. I have a replacement plastic one on order, but far be it for me to pass up an opportunity for an upgrade.

Count me in for these:   Recently got a Huawei watch when it was 100 off in the prime day sale. Really enjoying it so far. Works really well for me as I have bluetooth for my cochlear implant and hearing aid, so using the watch I can turn music on at any and control it without taking the phone out. It's awesome.

Over the last couple days, my 360 2 has stopped going into ambient mode on its own. I can palm the screen or push the crown to go into ambient mode, but if the watch waked back up, it'll be stuck again until I notice. Rebooting the watch seems to help for a while (most of a day, maybe). Anything to try before I reset the thing?

For me, root cause is that the "always on" ambient display was never turning on. Power cycling is a temporary fix, but Motorola says I can send it in for service.

Isn't the urbane just a G Watch R with a new case?

And it's on my wrist right now and I'm very happy with it so far  Mine came with the black leather band and seems pretty awesome so far. Another question - i was thinking of factory resetting my phone as it was having a few issues, does anyone know how easy it is getting back up and running with a wear in the mix?

Not hard but you need to factory reset the watch as well.

Do you still need to do that? Theres a button to unbind your watch from the phone now but I don't know if you can just bind it to a "new" phone without wiping it. Not that its a big deal.

Whenever you unbind the watch and connect it to a phone again, the watch is wiped. Apps just sync themselves again if they're installed on the phone. You might have to tweak one or two settings again, but it's otherwise pretty easy.

Yeah, it connected back up but had a few little issues so I just wiped it back to factory. Another question - since the wipe Facebook Messenger just works as a notification; there's no way to reply on the watch. I also can't get to it in the list of apps. Any ideas on how to force it back across?

I've been looking for a fitness tracker for running but I've decided if I'm going to do that then I might as well get some smart watch functionality at the same time. The Polar M600 looks perfect but it's going to be £260 when it comes out. The Sony Smartwatch 3 does 90% of the same stuff for only £90 but with Android wear 2.0 so close I'm really unsure whether it's worth buying right now. That said no new device is going to be as cheap so maybe it's the right choice after all. Can someone persuade/dissuade me?

Yeah, I love my Huawei watch, but I will keep using my Garmin forerunner 620 for runs since it's way better for that in every way.

Don't forget that there are supposed to be two Nexus Wear devices coming really soon too. It seems silly to buy something else with those so close.

Ok thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll just get a Garmin Vivosmart or something. Or just use my phone. Why do I have an urge to put something on my wrist?!

I just want an Android wear device that measures HR constantly and interfaces with Strava. Apparently the Moto 360 Sport does this, but it looks ugly as fuuuuuuck.
