Interesting Android smartwatch here. It can actually be used as a standalone phone, bands are GSM/GPRS Quad Band:GSM 850/900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 MHZ (can this be used on AT&T?).
What I'm not seeing is if it can be used as a dialer for your phone, so you can just leave it in your pocket and make and receive calls like the Gear.
What do you guys think? I'm tempted to get it just to play around with.

Doing some further reading, yes you can initiate a call to your phone with it, woot! It also has music over bluetooth and local storage. It looks like it has no speaker/mic so you have to use a headset with it, boo, but that's ok.

That does look neat, any word on pricing yet?

D'oh. I missed it, I went straight down to the pictures. Either that or the page didn't load completely the first time. Either way, thank you!
That's not a bad price point at all... maybe a mini server or media player...
Feature phone software, bleh.
Although I guess for 100 bucks you can't expect it to run Android.
Edit: Hmm, just noticed no where does it say there's a speaker built in...guess you have to use a headset to use it as a phone.
Also only compatible with Android 2.3-4.0. Doesn't say it works with newer.

Strange, I was also surprised by that 4.0 rather then 4.x reference. And I think you are right about headphone 3.5mm jack as the only way to listen to the music. Would have been great if they would include a camera in there.
Is it ok to say that it looks kinda...ugly?
Or is it just me?

Good Lord. I'm off tonight. I thought it RAN android. In this case, I'd say the price point may be a little high.

Haha, first thing that crossed my mind when i saw it.
Dunno why but personally i find most smart watches just tend to look either dull, or just plain awful. Maybe it's because of the space they have to work with? Dunno :/
You guys realize it's a phone? It might be nice to have as a backup phone, or if I just want a tiny phone. It doesn't run apps, but I never had much use for apps on a 1.5" screen.
It's interesting, I may grab one just to play around with. It seems to have AT&T bands. I don't plan on using it like a watch though, it's too ugly like that. I'd just stick it in my pocket or clip it on.

We're fully aware. It's just between recent offerings like the Omate Truesmart and previous offerings like every chinese watch phone out there, this one seems like too little too late to really make sense right now.
If you want a cheap feature-phone watch check out what's available to get a style you like. This one is pretty big and ugly for what it does.

Thanks, do you have any links to any watch phones that work with AT&T like this one does? I did a google search and didn't find much, Chinese tech seems kind of hard to find on the internet.

I sort of want the microphone... it's a super tiny phone that was on indiegogo for like $50 when it launched. GPS enabled for a bit more, I think.

So I got one and got to say this thing is a perfect companion for a phone at work. Built in mic allows you to answer on your wrist and be like I'll call you back it also has Bluetooth audio out and wireless headset support. Weird thing is contacts and messages won't work without a sim has to have one active or not I'm on Verizon so its pointless to try lucky I had art laying around and it vibrates!! This thing is sweet to be cheap!!!

From the watch description:
Smart Sync Function: Can sync with smart phone, downloading phonebook and call history (iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.3+) to the device. When using Android 2.3+ OS, download and install the WiMe NanoSmart APK on the Android device and the NanoSmart will sync with the Android device (Google calendar events, new Gmail notification, call history, phonebook, sent/received SMS).
Have you tried to install WiMe NanoSmart?
I'm on 4.3 AOKP linario I can't say its bougus but the contacts sync but....... With out each and every number having the country code in it it refuses to call or message weird right? Gmail hasn't worked or calendar. I refuse to downgrade for it. I use this to get away with texting and calling at work via mini Bluetooth headset and a beanie lol.

Can anyone tell me why I should buy one if I already have a smart phone? I can't seem to see why I would need two devices on me when one works fine already.

You don't need to get your phone out. This means you can quickly see new notifications just by looking at your wrist. Saves time and phone battery and it's very useful. Especially while driving or in other situations where you cannot look at your phone.
You can also send sms, email etc and do other stuff with the watch just by voice. It's not for everyone but I think it's very practical.
You also get all your google now cards on the watch which means (birthday) reminders, calendar, notes, navigation, weather and so on and so forth...
Not to forget the watch looks cool, you can customize it and you can impress other people ^^
There's lots of reasons for the watch but you have to decide on your own if you think it's worth the price as the watches aren't exactly cheap. (I paid 250€ for my phone and 200€ for the watch xD)
I'm looking at making a watch face based on fallout 3(or fallout New Vegas), when I get home ill post a pic of what I'm talk about, but has anyone designed one yet? Can't find anything when searching Google. I'm trying to make one specifically for the moto 360 or gear live.

I have not made one but I have been thinking about doing this as well for the last few day. It would be sick to tie in to the game and have it display live data if you are playing as well, probably not worth the effort though. If you decide to make one, I might be able to help although I have not developed a watch face before.
I'd love to see what you guys come up with. I'm a huge Fallout fan
Would love a watch face with the power armor just like the game cover.
Fallout FTW
I'd be a crazy-huge fan of this. Let me know if you make it!
I'd love it if someone made that, I saw on Google+ today that someone made one for the Moto 360 but it didn't really look like the PipBoy, I think it'd be much better suited on the G Watch anyway.
if you're going to make a round watch face, then it would need to be like the one that (I think...) was in the Tranquility Lane mission. I can't upload images because I'm new and it won't let me, but if you google "vault boy watch", that's the watch face I'm talking about! I may try and create that one myself soon enough!
Fallout Watch Face
Hello
Yesterday I've released my first watchface. It's themed like Fallout's Pip Boy 3000. It's completely free.
The only problem is that I have not tested in on the round-screen device, But if the emulator is close enough to the physical device, then it should look good as well.
I'm still not allowed to post outer links here, you can find it by name - Wear Boy 3000
or to add : after https in the link below

This problem happen from begining. I think that is solved, but not. I'm trying to solve, but not success. I don't recommend this watch. In flight mode, this problem don't happen, so, I think that is about phone. I cannot to add or edit APN in settings.
Don't buy this watch!!!! No support for stupid Haozo !!
I just got this watch and it's quite good after about almost 3 years never playing with smartwatch anymore. So, just in case if anyone need the firmware (fresh backup from my lovely watch, fresh from box straight into backup lol )and TWRP (Thanks to @viktorxda at telegram group open/android watch support)
And here is the link. just in case I also put the tested SP flash tool on my watch :good:
