Why do only two watches have NFC ?
Little worried if anything happened to my LG Sport, at this point the watch is hard to find for sale online.
The Huawei Watch 2 the other watch I was not crazy about the small screen and I do not know how long Best Buy will carry it.
No NFC = No Android Pay, something I use everyday.
Hopefully in the 2018 trade-shows somebody announces something
Well the wear24 has the hardware, but Verizon did not enable it
There are a few others but two are expensive, Movado Connect and Tag Heuer. The third is the LG Urbane 2nd Edition, my watch for the last couple of years. Still not very many choices. I use Android Pay all the time and if my watch broke I'd have to settle for getting the same model refurbished/used. Not sure why it isn't standard at this point for new watches.

I live in China and was considering getting a smart watch here as they are relatively cheap and have begun to make a wider appearance across major internet retailers recently. So I was wondering if anyone here has experience with any Chinese brands and could give me some tips.
I have been looking at the Otium Gear Smart Watch (which can be found on Amazon) as it seems it do well enough for my basic expectations of such a new sort of device (and it is pretty cheap here). I like the idea of the SIM card slot and the camera, mostly as novelties, Bluetooth is good for listening to music wirelessly and general phone connectivity, and I assume I could put my own apps on here, as the real reason I want this is for some mini game emulation on my subway commute.
So if any of you could offer some advice, product reviews or any other information, I would greatly appreciate your help.
I got one from amazon. I have been used these for couple of months. so far so good.
hi i have just stumbled across this forum, and it looks a very good set out, i am receiving my samsung galaxy note 3 tommorow and i am looking for a really good smartwatch to go with this, but my budget is tight at moment, so looking for good advice please on which 1 to get, it has to have full android on as then i have heard you can put as many apps as you want, so please some good suggestions on which 1 to purchase and where to purchase from would help me out a lot thanks
You say your budget is tight, then brand smart watch should not be considered.
One I know is i95 smart watch, $84 in tinydeal, with 512MB 4GB storage, can download many app to have fun
I have bought one and hope it work well.
moto I think !
thanks guys, u say moto one of you, where is link for the moto one please
The moto 360 is a very good wearable. The first gen model is very cheap nowadays, but the second gen is here too if you're on a bigger budget.
If you want something basic, there's the GT08 for about 40USD, its pretty good for the price, but its very basic.

A refurbished LG G Watch doesn't go for much more than that.

Brand new from high volume reputable ebay sellers- about $85USD
About once a month or so you find a fire sale from similar sellers on refurbs which run around $50-60USD.
I got my refurb W100 Black the same way over a year ago and it only cost me $65USD.

Just found this thread I am in the same position. I am a developer and I have a tablet and smart phone and I am looking for a smartwatch that is blue tooth WIFI full android OS and good specs new though not referb I have seen some on Ebay that is completely unlocked GSM which is what I am looking for but I want to make sure its a good device that I can not only use but develop with as I might end up getting 2 1 to develop with and 1 to use.
Hello everyone.
I have been looking for phones over the last week and I found this nice phone that's pretty affordable with awesome characteristics . Is k3 worth buying, because since it is so cheap,there must be a problem with it,I guess...
Its a good mid range phone from middle 2015. Buy it if you find one cheap.
Also, there seems to be a batch with many issues with the touch screen (Ive one with a bad screen) and with no support from the company: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/K-and-...h-Screen-Issue-in-Lenovo-K3-Note/td-p/2128737
So in my opinion its a gamble when you buy from Lenovo (because the issue the screen issue is still there with k4 and k5 (or what its called)).

imo, dun buy it.
i bought it based on its spec, very impressive.
regret ever bought it.
dun buy it.
ps:
out-of-box, chinese version will download tons of crappy chinese apps/games once the data connection/wifi is 'ON', b4 u realised/understand wats going on.
all stock apps/games r restricted use for china (restrictly no settings for any other cities out of china).
sound speak is too small, too soft, cant even hear alert/alarm.
usb connection non existence for sd storage, only for charging or otg.
external sd storage another screwed problem, unfriendly usage.
risk brick phone in order to install custom roms, experimental stage not sorted-out teethling problems.
no support from lenovo, retailer support scuks, new phone replace with refurbish phone, etc.
good luck if u wishes to buy lenovo phones.
pss:
seriously wants to buy lenovo k3 note, dun ever buy the chinese version, get the ROW (Rest-Of-World) version.
psss:
screen start to show sign of flickering after six months. damn :-[
Hads mine for nearly a year and it`s been fine, great phone for the price.
You can find it on aliexpress for 90€ shipping included (100$) at this price, its really hard to get such a good device.
About all the chinese stuff inside, just flash international android 6 and it will be more clean and you get play store
Also this device has huge comminuty and now we start to see Cyanogenmod running quite good
Even right now, its the best device you can get for 100$ !
And if it break after a year or two, you need to remember you just paid 100$ for it
Hello
I've looked all over the net and can't find answers to these questions. Maybe someone can help?
1) are there any standalone smartwatches that use sim cards? i want to be able to use whatsapp and get sports scores without needing a phone.
some smartwatches seem to have gps but not Internet, Internet but no appstore etc. very confusing.
sony smartwatch 3 was perfect if it had a sim slot.
only found Samsung gear s and lg urbane 2 that have sim slots. Samsung gear s sold out and runs tizen, and lg urbane is ridiculously priced at apple customers level.
2) are there any chinese smartwatches running Android that can do the above? that i don't know of?
3) are there any chinese smartwatchs running Android that can be flashed to run android wear?
4) i saw these articles last year of a $49 realtek chip mt2601 smartwatch running Android 4.4 on it, but can't find it being sold anywhere even a year later?
thanks
I'm a newbie into the world of Android smart watches but in the past week I've watched hours of YouTube videos on these Chinese smart watches. I've come to a couple conclusions. Battery life sucks across the board and none of them can hold a candle to samsung or apple. But with that in mind Istklm want to try one out. And I've narrowed it down to two on AliExpress. One is the Zeblaze Thor
<Can't post a link because I'm new>
And the other is the Colmi I1
Both are 3G android 5.1 watches with 16gb memory. But the Comic has 2gb ram and the Thor only 1gb ram. I've seen more about the Thor but next to nothing about the Colmi.
Any suggestions?
And just to be clear, cam any of these Android Chinese smartwatches send and receive texts? I don't care about calls but I want to be able to send and receive tests from my watch without having to do it from my phone on the middle of a meeting.
Also, some of these watches are approaching the $150 mark which st that point makes no sense because I can get a hold of a Samsung Gear 3 for $200 and not have to worry about any of this.
Thanks in advance.

Any help??
Really just need to know if any of these Chinese smartwatches can send and receive texts that come in through your cell phone?
40 some views and not one person can answer. This is the least helpful board I've ever posted in.
Ended up buying a Samsung Gear s2 so I don't have to worry about the cheap Chinese knockoffs.
