So I got the update on my l_g g watch. The new interface has some nice tweaks. The flick to scroll wasn't working so well, at first. It would seem to be 50/50 on it doing what I wanted. Actually moving my arm with the direction of the flick I'm trying to do seems to make it a lot more accurate. So to scroll up I flick away from my body and my my arm out a bit too.

Holy poo poo, the new full screen mode for Google maps on wear is fantastic. Also, on the phone it will audibly tell you your arrival time and if the route is clear of any jams when you start the navigation.

Kakairo posted:I tried a full-day test with ambient mode off and a full-day test with ambient mode on, and frankly I don't think it's worth the battery drain. I was playing with the watch much more on the non-ambient day, and managed 3 more hours of uptime. I've been thrilled with it otherwise. I have my loyalty cards in google wallet and it does that automatically.

Reverse Centaur posted:Probably a temp boost by people who think it's the nicest looking current one but never bought one. Gonna list it. At least for LG's watches. The G watch, G watch R and the urbane have the exact same internals. Same processor, same battery, even the same radios. Only the housing and screen are different between models. You can even flash the urbane's radios drivers onto the G watch R to enable the wifi mode (although you'd be violating FCC rules because that device hasn't been certified). So really they're all still first gen with a fresh coat of paint. That said, a nice looking coat of paint is still important.

I've just gotten used to doing a more expressive motion to get my watch to light up. It's not really a huge deal, and doubles the battery life.

Keep in mind that qi charging incurres a significant amount of wasted power so you're not going to get the rated capacity out of that thing via wireless charging

amoled is a lot nicer at night since only a handful of pixels are lit up to show the time. It's a lot less bothersome to you and people around you than the backlight you get with an LCD.

Are there any Milanese mesh bands like can come with the Huawei watch which also work with quick release pins? I really want one now but I bought the leather band one. The only ones I can find seem to use regular pins.

I had lots of people ask me about my LG G watch because its a blocky monstrosity like that Apple watch. But since I've gotten the Huawei watch next to no one has even noticed it unless I'm actively checking an email or navigating using it.

Call support is not in yet. Based on what I've seen lte support will work like WiFi support. It just acts like a regular Android wear watch except it's connected using a different protocol. So, if you did answer via your watch it would pick up on your phone at home and the caller would be talking to an empty room.

Finally got the MM update for wear and I can start calls through the regular dialer but I can't seem to start one through my Google voice number in hangouts. Is this possible? I can switch to my watch on the phone once I've started a call but not start one one the watch, at least for Google voice.

Gonna need NFC (for making purchases), OLED screen, cell radio, and GPS in a watch to get me to upgrade from my Huawei watch. That or an actual 2-3 day battery life.

I could get by with just gps and no cell radio tbh for my runs. And yeah. Qi charging would be great, though I'm willing to spend the extra couple of seconds making sure it's aligned if it adds a lot of bulk or price.

The problem with using fit on the watch is it can never go in low power Bluetooth mode because it is constantly exchanging data with the phone. I'd recommend starting the hike on your phone instead. Even my Huawei watch burns about 33% per hour if I have the screen off while tracking a walk or run.

uPen posted:Why would it sync the data constantly? The data doesn't need to be on your phone until your activity is over or you look at the app on the phone. When you start a workout on your watch the phone is checking GPS coordinates so your watch will frequently ping the phone for updates on the distance traveled.

It has a 25(!) day battery life in its ultra low power mode.quote:For extra battery life, a new watch mode to squeeze out extra juice. Huawei has said that with 10 percent battery remaining, the watch mode can extend the battery for an additional 40 hours. Keep in mind, this basic watch mode is limited to watch display and step count, and the watch screen isn't always on. Basically you could go hiking for almost a month with it working more or less like a regular watch plus step counter, and can use it as a smart watch with a fall back to dumb watch mode to give you almost 2 days to find an opportunity to charge it.

Well, the luxury watch makers either have to develop their own OS, apps, and api for a wearable if they want to get into that space, or use Google wear or Samsung's Tizen. Which one would a company with next to no experience in developing some electronics tend to do, and which one has more market share and app support?
