It only supports Android Wear in terms of replies right? The watch still uses Pebble's own OS and just uses the AW app.


They are squares to me and will always be squares. If you want a rectangle, look at the Gear S :colbert:

Per this article, it now officially supports AW apps.

Supporting android wear apps and being an android wear device are totally different things. Pebble is not android wear any more than a Mac with Office is a PC.

I'm not familiar enough with AW devices to get the distinction. Given the nature of the thread, can you explain?

Android Wear is the operating system. Android Wear apps are the programs. Pebble has made their watches able to run AW apps, even though the watches themselves don't run AW.

yeah, I figured that much. What I'm asking is, what does the base OS do if you don't run an app? What is the AW watch going to do that the Pebble can't? I don't mean where the Pebble could run a similar app, but where the AW OS does something that isn't an app.

These are both good posts and added to the op.

Yeah, nailed it. I've got a better understanding now.

i am having serious battery issues with my 360 second gen. The most i've gotten is ~12 hours. Is it the twitter notifications that are killing it?

Yes. Wear app - gear at top - tap on device name - watch battery

Thanks. Didn't occur to me to click on the device for some reason. I'll check it out tomorrow for battery use.

That seems crazy to me. My 46mm gets a reproducible 24 hours per charge, ambient on.

Ok, 13 hours this time. Battery users? Watch idle, at 8% was largest user.

It has to be the number of notifications I get, and that's mostly twitter. Going to try it tomorrow with it off, but that's a pain in the rear end, since that's the thing I want to see on the watch.

Does anybody know of a UK brick and mortar that stocks the latest generation watches?

Considering switching from pebble, but would like to poke at one in person first.

Don't switch, use both. That's where I am now. When I'm going to be in bright daylight, the pebble is 100% better than the moto. At night/lots of indoors, I like the moto. Long trip? Pebble.
