They may connect, but they are not Android Wear. So there's a lot you'll be missing. You may want to watch some video reviews for comparison.

http://www.amazon.com/LG-Watch-Powered-Android-Wear/dp/B00LB2ZQ3C
I got the LG G Watch as a christmas present and it is amazing! There's really not much of a difference between any of the Android Wear watches. Some have a slightly bigger battery but other than that, they're all the same.
Only big difference between any of these watches are how they look. Round vs. Square.
I absolutely love my ZenWatch. Best Christmas present I've received in a long time.
I've had my Asus Zenwatch for 6 going on 7 days now, and I really like it. Pictures don't do this thing justice, it is a NICE looking square watch. With the slightly curved display, it really helps it kinda blend in with your wrist more, and doesn't make it appear so large ( I have medium sized wrists). I like using this watch for just an ACTUAL watch alone, forget about Android Wear.
As for Android Wear.....It's just useful enough to keep me interested. I don't much care for the fitness aspects of Android Wear, but receiving my notifications on my wrist has kept me interested enough. This watch has dramatically cut down how often i fumble around with my phone and turn on the screen to check for notifications or messages. Also, receiving these notifications on your wrist and being able to act upon them seems so much more natural and less intrusive in a social environment. A quick glance at my wrist and maybe a swipe or two, and I'm done.
All in all I am happy with my purchase, and at $199 USD, it's one of the cheaper Android Wear watches. It's also a watch that you'd just want to wear as a nice watch, because there is no doubt that is what it is.

Yea, at $199, the ZenWatch is a steal! That said, the cheapest I can find it right now is at Amazon for $280. At that price, I would definitely pay $10 more and get the LG G Watch R. Paired with a nice band, it makes for a wonderful looking watch and is a much more conventional with a round face. With the recessed watch face, I would anticipate the LG to be more study than the ZenWatch and Moto as well.

I noticed that as well on Amazon. I'm not sure why it's like that, but look for it on the play store. That's where I got mine, and its $199.
My opinion on the G Watch R is that it definitely is the go to watch if you want it to look identical to a simple/normal watch. It does look rather bulky though. The Zenwatch doesn't look like a normal watch, but it really shows that smart watches can be beautiful without being circular and trying to completely mimic a simple watch. I've had serval complaints on mine already.
Have you checked out the inWatchZ
Personally I don't like any of them. With the growing demand on smart tech the market is going to evolve quickly. I am holding out for a watch that can do everything you would want a phone to do.
Check out the inWatch Z brand I feel they have a solution that is superior to a lot of the brands on the market.
The smartwatchgroup website does an extensive review of the upcoming smart watches. inWatch Z rated 8th in the world market. plus its the only watch that is also a standalone phone.
Hope this helps.

Actually, it is comparable in size to expensive chronographs and doesn't look the least bit bulky on my normal sized male wrist. That said, it would look absurd on a woman's wrist.

I've had the Moto 360 ever since the beginning of December and absolutely love it. At first the battery life wasn't the greatest and I would occasionally have connection issues, but once it got the Android 5.0 update sometime during December, everything completely turned around. I get about 2 days per charge now, and it's as stable as could be.
I'm thinking of importing a P8 Max to replace my Xperia Z Ultra. It would be great to hear from anyone who has the phone already, thoughts about performance and size
thnks
better than Ultra Z but without the waterproofness
better camera, real world performance is not much different.
Performance is very good, but the screen is very big, you can look here: http://www.gizok.com/huawei-p8-max.html
performance is great no lag at all
great camera
great sound for speaker and headphone
great screen
fantastic build
I would love to import one too but I'm afraid of the performance. How does it behave in games like Rayman of the same kind of game? My P7 is ok for the first two minutes and then starts lagging. I really love the HUGE screen and the battery! Does it get hot while playing/watching movies (which is what Imma do most (with the pictures)).
Also, compared to the P7 (if any of you guys know) how is the camera? I loved the camera on my P7 and it really got me into taking a looooot of pictures!
how is the battery doing for you guys? how long does it last?
Thanks a lot for all your answers, and sorry for all those questions
EDIT: One last question, could you guy give me a site or two to import the device (I live in Belgium (EU)). I Know Honormi but I don't know if it can be trusted or not
its a good device

Should be getting it on Monday
Thanks for your answer, may I ask you if it is possible to send me pics of the device and have a first impression from you when you're getting it?? If it's lagging at all, etc. I'm writing it from my P7 on chrome using Google keyboard and it has lags (not all the time tho) which is boring. I wanna be sure I won't have the same problems with the P8 Max as I intend to keep it for at least a year and a half
Thanks again

Did you receive it? how is it?
I keep getting news that it ain't that good with so-called big games and still come back to it when thinking about my next smartphone, at the point that I'm questioning my sanity ... I've also heard that, with an intensive usage you could "only" get about 10 hours (I don't think that it means 10 hours of on screen time) so I'm kinda disappointed by the battery ...
Looking forward to hearing more from you guys.
problems with delivery company (DPD) in the UK meant it didn't come today, hopefully tomorrow. I will update as soon as I have it

It took 3 days to get from Hong Kong to the UK and 4 days to get from Heathrow to me in London!! Lol
Haha that's unlucky.
I had a question about the messages you sent me: you told me you had a lot of on screen time, and the battery lasted all day long. Could you tell me, on a average day (I'm a power user too) how much on screen time you get and how much battery you still have?
Thanks a lot!
I read about the Mate8 that might be announced in September and gosh it sounds sexy, I had made my mind and wanted to order the P8 Max but I'll have to wait to see if the M8 gets the kirin 950 or not

What about camera quality and speaker quality?
camera is great speaker is awesome
I'm hoping to snag one from this site for $610 for the silver 64GB. Replacing my Z Ultra as well.
http://www.gizok.com/huawei-p8-max-4g-octa-core-64-bit-3gb-64gb.html
Pretty psyched to have 64GB built in and I'm expecting it to work with my 128GB microSDXC card, even though it only mentioned up to 64GB cards.
Can any of you verify it working with a 128GB microSD card?
I have been playing with it for a couple of days now. Some of the review sites states the phone has nfc, however I wasn't able to find it under the settings and touching my nfc enabled headphones does nothing. Hence phone does not have nfc..?
Split-screen mode is great, but the apps are still limited. Has anyone install apps that are working with huawei split screen?

it seems that smartwatches start to come out with lolipop instead of kitkat.

http://www.zgpax.com/androidwatch/41-54.html
the question is: does it have a good battery life as D5\K18......?
With all that extra kit (camera, flash card & micro usb port) it's only got the same battery rating as the K8/D5/X1 - I don't see how it could last very long.
It must be very chunky in size as well I'm guessing....

if it is going to be as the thickness of the s8 then not that thick BUT if it is going to be as the s82 then yes it is going to be chunky, i also wonder about the battery life the s8 and s82 had terrible battery life when i used activity tracking apps and notifications apps or even just BT the battery did'nt last more then 6 hours :\

On the site they have released pics of the side. Seems to have the same 470mha battery. After pondering over the s8 or no.1 d5 (that goes out the window now with these running lollipop) I will ponder over the s83 or s99. I like the design of the s83. I have contacted them there at zgpax and they have said its not been released yet. It has a tf(sd) card slot and play store. They will let me know when released.

it is better you wait for someone else to buy it to see if it has synchronization app and what are the tracking activity apps it has, the s82 has 700 mAh and still did'nt last a day with usage and BT drained the battery really fast less than 2 hours, that is why i love so much the D5 even with heavy usage it last more than 10 hours and that's alot. i like the idea of sd card slot but not if it will be chunky and the battery life is the same as the other ones.

Of course I will not buy it now. Although I won't be using it for synchronization and not really the whole day. It will be my primary phone. I would have got the d5 but the lack of a sd card slot blew it for me. As I said its gonna be my primary phone. Hope someone gets it soon and reviews!
They're basically the same thing, but I think s83 is better, since it has it's camera on the front rather than the side. Buuuuut, it still looks tilted upwards, so I'm not sure.
It would be a HUUUUUUGE plus if they didn't have antenna in their bands anymore. I broke mine on the s8 and had to solder the piece of crap together with the antenna from s29.
Also, the touchscreen inaccuracy was really annoying, and I hope they fixed it.

The S82 has not 700 mh battery. I have one and a second battery, and have 500. The problem its that they said 700 but i think they had problems with battery and because of this they mount only 500. In many shops they yet say 700 but not.
The problems with ZGPAX S82 I had:
- Support: zero. Even they not respond any mail.
- Battery: not show the real percent so you can have 50% an in a few minutes down to 15%.
- Gps: lost a lot of sattelites or signal when you put on. Impossible use it like navigator to drive.
- Touch response: a few inacurate.
- Screen rotate: in many apps its impossible put it ok.

ZGPAX S99
Hi,
I hope you can all help me. I run a company in the UK that rebrand Chinese products and bring them to market in Europe. My brand is called Superspot, and in the past we have made powerbanks, speakers, products for PS4 and more. They can be found for sale on Amazon, Mobile Fun and other sites in the UK.
However now we are considering taking the leap into smartwatches. I have read this thread with interest as two of the watches we are being offered are the i2 and s99.
Our preference at the moment is to go with the s99. This would see us rebrand the watch to our own brand, and in all likelihood we would rebox it, rewrite the manual, and generally tidy the product up so it was fit for 'western' consumption. We have had conversations with the manufacturers and at the moment they seem to be able to produce what we are looking for. Our sole route to market is through online platforms such as those mentioned above.
I wondered if you would be so good as to tell me your opinions on what the s99 is supposed to be able to do. Why would you buy or not buy this watch compared to others on the market? Would you spend $200 on this watch (£140) if it came with a years guarantee and was protected through Amazon etc? Why this watch and not a Gear S, swr50, LG Urbane, Moto 360? Do people really want a watch with sim-card functionality?
Also I would be interested to know opinion on a watch running full Android 5.1 lollipop as the s99 does. Does anyone have experience of how apps 'fit' onto the watch?
We are also being offered a myriad of colours, and we are tempted to go for various options including reds and oranges, as it seems to us a lot of smartwatches are going down the basic black or brown route. We want to offer something that looks different, is this a wise decision?
Finally we have the option of making the s99 with 8GB capacity instead of the standard 4GB. Would this be advantageous to the user?
I know this is a lot of questions, and I am a little worried about how this will be received (I've seen comments about rebranders on this thread!!!!), but ANY feedback will be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance,
Seb

Do people really want a watch with sim-card functionality?
Also I would be interested to know opinion on a watch running full Android 5.1 lollipop as the s99 does. Does anyone have experience of how apps 'fit' onto the watch?
We are also being offered a myriad of colours, and we are tempted to go for various options including reds and oranges, as it seems to us a lot of smartwatches are going down the basic black or brown route. We want to offer something that looks different, is this a wise decision?
Finally we have the option of making the s99 with 8GB capacity instead of the standard 4GB. Would this be advantageous to the user?
I know this is a lot of questions, and I am a little worried about how this will be received (I've seen comments about rebranders on this thread!!!!), but ANY feedback will be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance,
Seb

i think it is better to ask on the thread of no.1 d5 and i2 and kingwear and finow q1 and on k18\k8 mini and k9 and x5 and x3 ppl who used more than just one watch. about the s99 no one has it yet so you wo'nt get any info about it from here. i brought all thread because many here change the watch if the find one that is better than what they have (as i do even though i love the D5), the standalone watches are better choices because they can be used without the need of the phone around.
Hi,
I want to buy a new phone.
I'm considering to buy the OP 5, but is it safe to do that with the issues with the screen (and can these be fixed)? Or should I buy another phone? (I'm looking for a phone with a fast CPU, and a great (preferably near stock ) Android experience. The screen has to be at least 1080P, and I don't want the phone to cost more than 500 euros. (maybe the 3T?))
Thanks in advance!
Robert D.
Yes, you should.
I think you shold buy Op 5. I bought mine two weeks ago.Not all the modells have that screen issue,on mine is barely noticable.And no there isnt a fix for that.
buy oneplus 5
these specs will be enough for next 2-3 years :victory:

Do you happen to know why not all the models have the screen issue?
Yes sure

All models do have it, it's just that most people dont see it. I can see it if I want to, but it doesn't bother me at all. Besides, the videos exaggerate it because it doesn't look at all as bad as it looks in some videos. I read it was something about how videos can only capture at a certain framrate.
Honestly, it feels like it's just a reason to bash on Oneplus
I thought my op3 3 was fast, was even overclocked and everything. Then I got a op5 and jesus it's waaaay faster than a op3 ?
Best phone ever...Oneplus is doing really well so far!!
I never bought a smart watch in the past but am interested in doing so now. What's the best bang-for-the-buck smart watch I can buy? I use a Samsung Galaxy Android phone so I'm guessing an Apple Watch is off the list. I would prefer one that has a heart rate monitor and all the standard sensors.
TIA for your help.

I am considering getting the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS as it seems to have all the latest and greatest.
A lot of info here on some of the Samsung Galaxy's Watches...

Thanks but those are a lot of smart watches! It wouldn't really help me narrow it down to one because they're not comparison videos.

Is it pretty natural to think that since I'm a samsung galaxy phone user, their smart watch is the most logical thing to go with?
Yes, it is a much smoother coexistence...

To be honest, I do not think there is one, not one, Smartwatch /Band that is at this moment 100% recommendable. The Fitbit Sense seems to have every single sensor you could possibly ever want or need but everything I have read says it is way to buggy to be worth the price and they have a Fitbit Premium Plan at $10 a month that I think should be included in the price of the watch since it one of the more expensive watches out there. That and I just don't do the monthly plan stuff for anyone.
Samsung is a big company and has a good reputation but it looks like the latest updates to their watches has disables some of the new features, at least for US users: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83816129&postcount=3088
I also waited for the Amaxfit X for many months as it looks cool but have since cancelled that as it seems way to buggy and most have had nothing but issues with it.
I have read or watched on Youtube just about every review on every device out there and not one ticks all the boxes of what would make a perfect smartwatch or band. Most of the garbage out there is made in China and the software that you have load on the phone to pair the watch with is questionable. Also it seems you have a 50/50 chance of getting a good or bad device if it is made in China. I am not saying that all are bad from China but you really need to research it and look at reviews to see if it is reliable and what the companion software is accessing on your phone.
The Withings Scanwatch: https://www.withings.com/us/en/scanwatch seems like a nice one but with such a small display and not temp sensor for the very high price I do not think it is for me as I am getting up there in the years and my eyes are not what they used to be. I need a bigger display with large fonts to be able to read my data.
It really boils down to what you need on your wrist. Like I said I am older so I would like ECG/BP/SPo2 with Sleep Apnea detection and with Covid a temp sensor all on an easy to read display that can last a week of real time use, not what the manufacture claims but real life use. And I can tell you said Smartwatch/Band does not exist at this moment.
The good news is new devices seem to be coming out on a daily bases so who knows, maybe one will be release very soon that checks all the boxes that I am looking for!
Good luck on your search and lets us know which you end up getting! :highfive:
First you must choose between "Tracker" or "Smartwatch" ?
Smartwatch battery life about 3 days max (Like Samsung Galaxy watch)
Tracker between 1 and 2 weeks. (Like Huawei or Amazfit watch)

Most of the features of a Tracker are already in a Smartwatch, right? I would pick a Smartwatch even though it has less battery life.

Argh, ok This is going to be a hard and long research then. I'm targeting Black Friday to buy one if they ever have sales. I hope I can find one that I like before then.
I must say, the Amazfit X does look cool indeed. Are they continuously fixing things with firmware updates?
there's also the 11.11 sale on aliexpress, gearbest, banggood etc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-x-t4164887
That is also my plan for Black Friday. The Honor Band 6 is going to be announced this Tuesday so I am keeping an eye on it.

Not really, almost all smartwatch are really POOR tracker. Main default is the sleep tracking, and for track 24/24 we need a not bad battery to keep watch days and night.
95% of the tracker series are really almost 0 smart.
Almost all Chinese tracker are bad tracker.
Stay maybe 2 brands witch are good tracker : Fitbit and Garmin. This 2 brands are also not very good but enough good Smart Thing. Smart mean app store Fitbit has an app store for the Versa series and Garmin has also an app store for most of his tracker Forerunner/Fenix/Vivoactive.
Samsung not bad has tracker and just correct has smartwatch.
Amazfit almost 0 for smart and rather bad as tracker.
What do you guys say about the KoreTrak watch?

BUMP! Any more ideas here? It's already Black Friday week and I still don't have a choice but I think I'm going with a fitness tracker instead.
Pebble or amazfit bip. Pebble is the best one still imo, Fitbit is overpriced and breaks often, almost no devices have always on display even today, very depressing! Bip can have bipOS installed and does everything I need (notifications, shows time, continuous heart monitor, sleep tracking) and I never have to take it off. It has gps but I don't use that.

Can you give me a link to Pebble? I can't seem to find it anywhere unless you're referring to the Kickstarter project that already died?
XDA Pebble section but not much there
Smartwatch is still a very new thing to a lot of people. You don’t absolutely need one to get through the day, and some of the best smartwatches are much too expensive to own and use for daily purpose. The range of fossil men smartwatch is moderately priced with innumerable features. They can provide you with an easy way to get information, allow you to dismiss or reply to new messages without having to pull out your phone, and much more.

Hi Kevin, I placed an order for KoreTrak Pro myself. Received it after 3 weeks and it was working fine. But don't expect much as what you'll be getting for such a low price.
