Hello guys, after a week spent reading news "any other business" on a variety of forum , I find myself having narrowed the circle of this blessed smartwatch that I would buy.
first of all I would like to stay on the 100 € and MUST have the know ANDROID
so my choice fell on these two models
iMacwear M7 http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_141989.html
ZGPAX S8 http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_99551.html
which of the two wins do you think?
which of the two is the most followed in the CUSTOM ROM?
I thank you in advance for any tips, even on models that I got lost and maybe are better than these two.
Thanks again!
ZGPAX S8 has more support on XDA. I was tempted by iMacwear M7, it looks good, but went with the ZGPAX S8 for that reason.
I may buy the iMacwear M7 also to see which I like better.
A few things I like better about iMacwear M7, larger battery, replaceable battery, easily accessible uSD card
A few things I like better about ZGPAX S8, better support on XDA, thinner, lighter, better camera placement
I love the design of m7, the only thing I did not understand, is the version that mounts Android 4.2 .. some of the mountain while the other 4.4.
on gearbest it says 4.4 who knows if it will be true ..
what do you think?
If you consider buying on gearbest, you should perhaps also have a look at the K8 android smart watch. I originally wanted to buy the ZGPAX S8, but I decided for the K8 because I like the design better.
the steve but k8 no have micro sd slot expansion.. the battery is low... why you buy this k8?

You are right, it has no TF slot, thats a weak point on the K8. I hope for me 4gb will be enough, at least I don't want to install big games on it. The other specs are quite the same like the zgpax s8 (btw, its a litttle tricky to reach sd card). The battery is 450mah on both, but the screen on the K8 is a little better with 320x320. I decided for the K8 because I like the design better, but thats just my opinion of course. I just wanted to show you as alternative.
but I thank you very much! really in fact this week I slammed a lot to find a good model ..
until now anyway I dwelt on m7, I've found at Chinavasion model with Android 4.4! so far it is the highest-rated!
then in truth I do not care even for micro sd slot, interests me more than anything else that has nice interface clock.
I just hope that it works well with the swapp link APP.
I still have this week to decide well!
I need some advice ... which should I choose between a Samsung S3 Neo and an A3? .. Seem similar in performance but the price difference is big ...

Go with A3 for sure...
Coz it has 5 mp front camera and the main thing is it will get lollipop official update...

I know that S3 Neo, unfortunately, will not get lollipop official update, but in terms of performance, would be a good choice or not?
I have not used any of the two models, but I want to give a smartphone as a gift to my wife and I want to make the best possible choice.
There are too few comparative tests on the internet to make me a general idea ...
The performance justifies the price difference?

Instead of A3, you can go for J7. If you are looking for samsung phone under 15000 rs then you definitely go for J7. That will be much better phone in terms of configuration, camera & OS....

S3 still yhe better phone. Great display, perfect unofficial development and more. A3 is with smaller body and lower resolution. Lollipop isn't something increadible. S3 9301 is with better rear camera and with removable battery. 9301 is perfect phone!
check this http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-A3,Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Neo/phones/8932,8584
Personally between those two, I'd go for the A3 if just for the build quality. Plus, there are way more color options to choose from.
I've chosen S3 Neo
Finow X5 t's a very good mix of K8 regular and K8 mini (No.1 D5).
Design of K8 mini / D5 with 1,4" OLED screen and 3 buttons and similar hardware base.
I like it very much !

In the supplier specifications says that the screen is IPS

Same hardware specs but no 850mhz band for 3g?
Crazy...
And it is bearing the almost unmentionable name of trusmart - although I doubt if it's the same company.

This people claims to be the manufacturer:
http://lcz.manufacturer.globalsources.com/si/6008850717599/pdtl/Smart-watch/1136778871/3G-Smart-Watch.htm
There it is reported as an OLED screen and it also supports the 850MHz WCDMA band.
Who know?
---- edit ----
They also own this site:
http://www.finowatch.com/index.php
If it had better battery and SD card capability I would go for it, but needs to be cheaper if it's the same hardware in different clothing ........
Firmware would be great to have though !!
Does it support SD card? I have not found this information
I like more the K9 desing but AMOLED display should be mean better battery life...
Another Full Android watch found on Aliexpres... after research... poor information about them.

Same Ingenic M200 platform device as the W3 Amoled, IQI M200 and Oxy Round. Actually, that case design was one of the ones OXY rejected.
I just purchased the X5. The amoled was the decider. I love the d5 but actually think the slightly bigger screen will be more benefit for typing on.
Still keeping the d5 though so hoping the ROM development continues.

I contacted the manufacturer (LCZ - Finowatch), the first lot will be available for selling by the end of this month.

Why did you choose the X5 over the K8? I thought the K8 had the same display. The side buttons seem much larger.

Exactly...
if it is a new watch why no micro sd card slot??? that have made it a better choice i still think the D5 is preferable. to me it is just a k18 BUT more expensive.

Yes
I wasn't a fan of the k8 design and finish. I didn't like the colours and didn't like the markings on the face. I prefer that the watchface on the screen is the main face and that the body is simple.

I agree :good:
Furthermore, in the photos it appears that there is smaller gap between the display and the frame, but this could be just appearance

Don't get me wrong - the X5 "looks better" than the K8 but overall it is a very bulky watch and from what I've seen is a fair bit more money.
The overall watch-software experience is almost exactly the same from the look of it.......
It isn't much more expensive than the D5 was. The difference was about £10.
It's far better looking than the K18. Just no UMTS 1900 though.
So I am looking for an Wear OS watch. Any ideas for a good watch and overall good. I had a Sony smart watch 3 and it was nice for what it was but looking for something better. Got a Nexus 6p for my phone.
Maybe Huawei Watch 2 or Ticwatch Pro.

If you want a cheap but good quality wear OS device, I suggest Ticwatch E. Changeable straps, android oreo, 24hr battery life, good build quality.
I can recommend the TicWatch Pro. A really nice device. First I had a Ticwatch E, but it's a plastic device and the haptical feeling is really cheap.
In terms of quality and design i can recomand emporio armani hugo boss ot tommy hifigher watch but in terms of features and battery all three are averege. Ticwatch pro is best option on marchet rigt now but all big producers are lawnching theyre new watches like huawei watch 3, lg urban 3, moto 360 3rd gen all are wright around the corner.

I really enjoy my Fossil Sport. Battery lasts me a day and half to two. Good for fitness, waterproof, and has the new chipset so it should only get better with the next WearOS update.
Also it's on sale now for less than $200 so it's a steal!

I got a fossil q g4 explorer and the Micheal Kors I like em both
I was finally time to retire my gear s2
Im a mechanic and its lasted over a year no issues But I the battery is killed over in the last few weeks
Is it still OK to "resurrect" a 1 year old post? Damn, last time I used xda was a life ago.. Anyway, back here for searching the same thing: Which smartwatch to buy.
I researched a bit and as for now, the 4 best choices are:
1) Fossil Sport
2) Ticwatch Pro
3) Huawei watch 2
4) Skagen Falster 2
But all of them are "some months old" already. So, not sure if waiting for the new generation or "f*** it imma get it anyway".
2) Ticwatch Pro
I have almost all Wear Watch (and Huawei 2) but the Ticwatch Pro is for far the better. 2nd LCD screen for always ON and not light emited like a lighthouse. Large OLED screen 1.4". Better battery life for all wear watch. Real innovation for a watch.
Last 4 posters: did you know that it's a year old thread?
Anyway I'm using Fossil Gen 3 and happy with it. The Gen 4 only ads NFC...
If you you are interested in a ticwatch, there is now a limited $50 / €50 off using code "Mobvoi50TY" during checkout. Will make the Ticwatch Pro even a better price/performance

Hi guys, I do not decide between 3 smartwatch, could you help me decide which one to buy?
Samsung galaxy watch comes with tyzen and rotating bezel
Huawey Watch 2 comes with android wear without rotating bezel
Huawey watch gt new model, I do not know if it's better than the Watch 2
Important points:
I think having a rotating bezel gives a positive point to the clock
So I have read tyzen is not well optimized strong point for android wear
Then i dont decide between samsung or huawey... By the way i love cool watch faces like fallout pip boy or super mario faces,..
Which of the two operating system / clock has the most support on wahtcfaces?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME GUYS
Huawei Watch GT is just a Fitness tracker, almost zero smart.
Huawei 2 very Good smartwacth, maybe the best for Health and battery life but Wear OS little annoying.
Tizen Watch, not bad at all, more stable than Wear but not many app, but many watchface.

Which is the best smartwatch then? XD
Yes Huawei Smartwatch 2 is the best of Wear Watch with better battery life. Just the screen really tiny with 1.2" vs 1.3" for Gear S3 or 1.4" for Ticwatch E. But all Wear Watch other Huawei 2 has a real bad battery life.
My vote goes for the Huawei watch. The Huawei Watch 2 is one of the most popular mens watches watches in recent time.
Some of the key features that give it an edge over Galaxy Watch are:
It comes in two editions (Sport and a Classic)
It has a 1.39 inch Amoled Display, which is much superior than Samsung’s 1.3 inch
The watch also boasts of a built-in coach functionality.
However, the Samsung Watch does possess one advantage which is it rotating bezel. It helps improve the interface.

Huawei watch 2 has an 1.2" display so really smaller than the 1.3" for samsung Galaxy watch (and S3). But some new smaller Galaxy watch has smaller display in 1.2" like the Gear S2.
1.39" is for the Huawei GT wich is not a smartwatch but an activity tracker.
Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best rated in reviews, has decent battery life and some apps that you can install.
Huawei Watch GT also has great battery life but it's a brand new closed platform with no app capability and Huawei don't have the best reputation for updates and bug fixes. Could be a great platform in the future but it's a hell of a risk at the moment.
Huawei Watch 2 is Android Wear so lots of apps but OS is so poor on battery life meaning no continuous HR monitoring or sleep tracking.
I would go for the Samsung - good platform and some apps.
