mobby_6kl posted:The problem is the shape - a plain cylinder, rather than thickness as such. My auto Seiko SNK809 is both smaller and thicker than the G Watch R (~38 vs 45mm diameter and 11 vs 9.7mm) for example (not sure about the Huawei) but it doesn't look disproportionally thick because it's made up of three visual layers, with the bottom one being hidden and the top two breaking up the thickness: That first picture looks like a much thicker watch to me because of the "busy-ness" and the last two pictures are not at the same angle. If the last picture was at the same angle as the first you'd be able to see the whole bottom beveled "layer". I mean, I'm not saying that the plain cylinder vs multiple layers thing isn't correct...maybe it is, but none of those pictures support that point to my eye.

Same goes for utilities, health insurance, etc. I mean you've definitely got to do more footwork, but the idea that you have to have a credit score is a myth.

Has there been any word about a 360-2? I procrastinated so long about getting a 360 because of its downsides, that now I'm thinking I'll just wait for the next generation of Wear devices...

I think the Apple Watch is ugly. Like...really ugly...compared to the Moto 360 or that Huawei Watch. People will still buy the Apple Watch, even if they might, in a double-blinded scenario, prefer the looks of another smartwatch. This is because of the brand loyalty and cachet Apple has built for itself. Brand loyalty and cachet aren't something to look down on, using past experiences as a guide for purchases is a good heuristic for someone to choose a product to buy. But the Apple Watch outselling Android Wear devices doesn't say a whole lot about the style relative to other smart watches other than that, if its aesthetic appeal is on average lesser than some other smart watches, it's not lesser-enough to outweigh other factors.

XyrlocShammypants posted:AW had a chance to define "cool" and they didn't do it, which is just mindboggling. I don't think this is mindboggling, I think it should have been expected. (in fact I bet Google did expect it to play out exactly as it has) In fact, I'd say that they just could not have defined "cool". No one besides Apple has the position to create "cool". Android Wear doesn't make any products, it's basically just a set of UI guidelines and APIs. Individual AW-using manufacturers are all tiny, more risk-averse, and have less talent compared to Apple. It's not terribly unlikely that Apple will improve the market for Android Wear using devices just like the iPhone did for Android in general. All those Android Wear-using manufacturers will benefit from Apple's investments and risk-taking.

TraderStav posted:First day with the 360. Took it off the charger at 6:30am. It's 5:30 and at 6%. What am I doing wrong? Ambient mode is off. Any other settings driving this or what? From what I've read you'll get better battery life the longer you have it. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the newness will wear off and you won't mess with it as much... How is the accuracy on Android Wear pedometer? Anyone compared it to something like the Fitbit Flex and/or a hip-mounted pedometer?

The Milkman posted:Considering getting some kind of fitness band. Looking to track runs/cycling/sleep. Stair-climbing and sleep cycle alarms are a big bonus. Don't care about phone notifications but being able to double as a watch would be nice. Looks like the options are the Jawbone which is subject to fall-apart and the Fitbit Charge which requires uploading your soul to their servers? For my money, the Charge is the better choice.

Cop gay. So What posted:I know you posted this over a month ago but in case anyone else has this problem... Heck even if it was perfectly accurate, 100 steps isn't going to matter. Unless you're only walking like 200 steps a day, it's already logging (or not logging when it should) hundreds of Inaccurate steps daily if you're getting 5k+ steps daily.

Also remember that, AFAICT, these HR sensors are kind of lovely in that they don't work well for some not-insubstantial portion of people. I have just normal white dude arms and neither a Charge HR nor a Moto 360 can reliably read heartrate data.

Syrinxx posted:My average fitbit step count was about 10k-12k but with the band 2 it's about half that. At first it irritated me but I'm sure now that the fitbit was inflating the count pretty badly. Like it or not though, fitbit is the baseline that people use, including insurance companies or whatever. I spent a lot of time with a real actual pedometer and my Flex back when I first got it a long time ago. The Flex was never more than about 8% off (high).

Stan Taylor posted:Been thinking about getting a smart watch just because they look kinda fun to gently caress around with. I like the look of the Moto 360 and would definitely want something running Android wear, as they seem the most versatile. Do they do yearly updates on these things or is a new one coming out soon? What are some of the really cool or goofy/neat things you can do with these things? Rumor is that Google will be releasing their own smartwatch in a week.
