Hi,
I am aware that this thread might not have its place in this forum, but would like to pick some brains.
I am interested in smartwatch mostly for one and only reason: being able to create and/or change the face. I don't care for connectivity and app support. Is there currently a non-smart watch wich has a led screen to change the face?
Thanks!

Hey guys I'm interested in perhaps getting a wear watch and using it with a twiddler 3 as a general real time note taking solution. The Twiddler shows up as a basic bluetooth HID device and I'm wondering if it would be supported and if you guys have any other feedback about this idea. Is it possible or is it a dumb idea?
my request stems from the fact that they are in possession of a smartwatch no.1 d5 but really for me it is currently unusable because you can not answer incoming calls on the smartwatch ( Android ) strangely connected to an Iphone works , is now a little that after buying the drawer put it , I was wondering if there is a modified ROM that allows the reception and conversation with the smartwatch , the thing that makes me more angry and that there are smartwatch from $ 8 to make all this !!!! I thank you in advance I'm sure many others are waiting for a ROM like that.
Currently no ROM exists for that purpose.
It seems that fundamental pieces of software are missing inside the bluetooth stack so that only the vendor could add them in.
Yea I bought pay and go sim, installed call forward and text forward, thats all I wanted, leave bulky phone at home when not needed.
It is ok , but I think it was not an impossible task to enable the smawrtwatch to receive calls as a headset so you can use a hands-free car or even better when you ride the bike would be wonderful to look at and see who you smawrtwatch calls and maybe meet and converse , I apologize but I do not think that was too much to ask , so they could settle two categories of users those like me who use only one SIM and not having to move between smarwatch or smartphone , maybe I'm wrong ....
I'd like to buy a smartwatch, however all that meet my requirements (AMOLED, waterproof) are stand-alone versions, with SIM card slot. I've notice that most of these watches do not support full phone synchronization. I'd like my watch to have functionality like: phone camera trigger, answering phone calls, answering SMS or WhatsApp messages...
If some of you can advice me how can I achieve that by external software, or what kind of smartwatch should I buy to meet those requirements, it would be great.
None of them will be able to make or receive calls properly through Bluetooth if that is what you are asking.
There is a reason for this. Google owns the api that allows this kind of interaction with Android. They will never allow it to be used on these watches. To google, these watches go against everything they are working on with Android Wear. They also protest that it is a security issue.
So, long story short - if you want full Bluetooth interactive mode you will need a Wear watch.
Not one of these Bluetooth pairing watches you find on Aliexpress. They also are not allowed to use these api's and cannot make or receive calls over Bluetooth.
If you find one that really works (a lot of them claim to but don't) I'd be interested ?
You might look at the Ticwatch 2. Nice looking watch and is licensed by Google - kind of......

Have you looked at the Imacwear M7? It might be what you're looking for.

Thanks @pablo11, however I can't say that I'm happy with what I've just read So it is not possible to implement this functionality in ROM or with the App?
Samsung watches overspend my budget
I completely don't get it! A 10$ smartwatch (like DZ-09) can answer phone calls and push notification two-way, and 100$ can't?
Hi,
I'm thinking of entering the smart watch world. I have researched a few but can't find one that caters for what I want but am sure it's out there.
The Zeblaze Thor 4 nearly was the one till I saw it doesn't track GPS when running (I'd like to ditch the phone when running etc).
So I'm looking for something that can be a phone outright not needing to be connected to smart phone. Tracks its own gps. Optional NFC. They are main things , cheers for any suggestions. :good:
What made you think you can't use GPS while running? Isn't it just a question of adding a screen-compatible tracking app, as I did on my older Zeblaze Blitz?
Hi All,
I'm looking for your advice guys.
I need full android smartwatch. What I need it for is my CGM continues glucose monitoring system. I went trough tones of crappy sites advertising this or other brand, but to be honest all of them are no good for me.
My requirements:
Bluetooth connectivity for CGM, battery life and waterproof so I could go for a swim.
I don't care if:
It's samsung , lg or any other brand
if it's stylish or not
square or round
Does it have Heart monitor or not
Does it have NFC or no NFC
nor any camera
I don't need any workout apps, I can do my workout without it just fine, I don't need any notifications or any other useless futures which I will not have a time or will to look at anyway.
What I'm looking for is pure functionality.
Have anyone of you come across such a device?
Thanks in advance
