hahaha
I gonna buy that watch also (pebble)...money is problem just for you. Not for me.
Sony is not CHIP brand. I do not want to wear a watch which is named "pebble" with black and white display !? WTF is that ? We got Multi-touch color OLED display
-Sony WATCH cost 150 bucks...what do you accept to see inside kid? GOLD ?
I checked all stores...(main web site also) the items out of stock.
No bad feedback's about latest (MN2) generation...why so negative man?
You have it ? NO.
Where you got your experiences from ? From John? hahahah Who cares what inside.... is Sony not pebble...
Were you saw bad feedback's ? (the watch working so smooth and fast)

I bought Smartwatch 3 days ago, i confirm that it works well, without any problem. Don't have any bluetooth disconnection, notifications work "in time", battery is as it should be, fully charged it on day 1, no need to plug in again at the moment.
Need more time to test it and keep my opinion to say if it's really stable and a good product.
Regarding my phone's battery, when i check battery stats, Smartwatch use 4% so i think it's reasonable.

Sony Smartwatch
Just to let others know I have now had this watch a little under a week.....My impression so far is good.....it does exactly what it says it will .......with NO disconnections(unlike its predessecor the live view which always lost the connection and barely worked). All programs work well and the device speed is surpisingly good too(switching between screens and widgets etc). My only complaint is brightness there is no way to set it and in daylight it is hard to read the screen.

I got my sony smartwatch 6 days ago and the last charge was 4 days ago. So no problem with the battery. Yes the screen does come on when i shake it which is pretty convenient i think.
Sony's watch is more of a remote viewer and notifier. It doesnt use its own android system it uses the phones i think so it may not be fair to compare it to other smart watches that have android running on them. It is a lot cheap than others at the moment.
I'm using it with a Xperia S and the bluetooth only uses 3%. If i have all the notification it can do turned on then it only lasts 14 hours. With just text and email its managing 30 hours quite nicely
Hope this helps anyone.

just a quick question sir, how do you set the screen brightness? i've looked everywhere but yet to locate the settings?

Pebble is ridden with deceptive marketing.
For example, "e-paper" display? Please do not confuse with e-ink display.
The "e-paper" display is just regular black and white pixel LCD (not different from those already in use in today's digital watches).
And now let's look at what is inside a pebble shall we?
Micron N25Q032A11ESE40F 32 Mb serial flash
STMicroelectronics STM32F205RE high-performance ARM Cortex-M3 MCU, with a maximum speed of 120 MHz
STMicroelectronics LIS3DH 3-axis accelerometer
144 x 168 pixel black and white LCD
Spring buttons for navigation
Full plastic construction

Compare this with the Smartwatch
- CPU: STM32F205RG (120MHz)
- RAM: 128KB
- Flash: 1MB (For firmware only, apps are stored on the phone, not on the watch like pebble)
- OS: uC/OS-II
- BlueTooth: Yes (3.0)
- Fm Radio: Yes (disabled)
- LCD: 1.3" OLED
- Res: 128 x 128
- Touchscreen: Yes (Capacitive)
- Brushed Aluminium housing
- Battery - 110mAh
Just looking at the cost of components alone (let's ignore the fact that Smartwatch already has hundred of apps while the pebble can only display one notification at a time and has a silly snake game as an app...), Smartwatch is a better choice by far.
The curious part of it is they use the exact same processor.

nothing at all on the web about this thing; let us know how it is when you get it...
normally I would avoid something like this at all costs, since there is nothing anywhere about it, but buying it through Amazon is about as safe as it gets, so you should be ok even if it is bogus..

I'll admit I was pretty interested in this when I saw it. So I watched the video and it looks pretty good, really in depth actually so when he skips over anything to do with the dialer
or doesn't bother to show it in action either from the watch dialing or receiving a call I got pretty skeptical. Then the specs listed on the website and in the video state 4GB of storage (like the GEAR) but he then states it only has 1.16gb available? While scrolling thru the settings you clearly see it says 2GB of storage. One cool thing was remote Bluetooth access to the watches camera or the phones camera thru the other device i.e. you can look at the phones screen and see what the watch camera sees. I'd love to hear your experience when you get it. Thanks, good luck!

2 words G Watch!!!!!

WORKS! Constant HR monitoring in Fitness Apps

Finally, Android Wear supports constant HR monitoring by apps.
One of the first Apps to support this is
SportsTracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.android.ui.activity.lite
See http://blog.sportstracklive.com/?p=558 on how to enable it.
In a 10 minute test walk, the watch consumed about 6% of battery, with the display constantly displaying the HR.

It seems to be pretty accurate

Uses too much of the battery 6% in 10 minutes.
You run for an hour 36% is gone.

And? Then I charge it while showering.

It actually looks pretty good but I already run apps that do that this does (except constant heart rate monitoring)

Yeah, I am also waiting for runtastic to pick up the feature.

This one also has constant puls-checking on the watch - but only on the watch, unfortunately there is no recording on the phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jppjff.sgpm25

Endomondo also has constant HR monitoring. However...constant HR monitoring eats battery very fast. 30% in like...40 minutes. This watch is great for a lot of things but it fails the battery life test in regards to fitness.
That and...it easily disconnects bands during gym workouts.

Sportstrackerlive is closing down which is a pitty as I really liked the way they integrated the heart-rate monitor from the watch with their mobile app with the analytics from their portal.
http://blog.sportstracklive.com/?p=570
I just downloaded Endomondo - but I cannot find the heart-rate on the watch. Do I have to purchase the professional edition?

In fact, if you buy the pro version of endomondo Live gear works on the heart rate

I just found out that it is already supported in the free version of the endomondo app, you only have to adjust the values, that get displayed in the display of the watch. Here for some reason the heart rate are not displayed by default...

I doubt Runtastic ever will. They're too busy trying to sell their own Heart Rate Monitors and their new watch. I was hoping SportsTracker would be able to step up and build on their features more, but they're going under. Looking at Endomondo.

Endomondo
I've used Endomondo with the Gear Live Heart Rate monitor during a full workout. It worked great. Exactly what it would have been great to have in Runtastic. But now, I don't need Runtastic, Endomondo has all except the new "Interval" training the Runtastic app has. So I'm a Endomondo convert.

My tracks if you know Google can read your heart rate with the gear

I thought I had done this for my gear live through settings, smartwatches, android wear, enable heart rate monitor . . .
It still does not show any heart rate reading. Is this the values you used ?

yes, exactly. I also changed the displays, so e.g. in display one I have HF and speed (not sure on the english translation...). Maybe this step of selecting HF for display is missing on your side?

Success! Just needed one final step of restarting the watch.
Now with a couple of days trial, I've found the heart rate to be very inaccurate. Does anyone have any experience using a bluetooth heart rate monitor, like?: polar H7_heart_rate_sensor

Big collection of watch faces

My watch arrived today , first as always with anything I wanted to modify it, I didn't find many watch faces in the playstore, and checking this forum and finding it empty, but friend of mine with a 360 pointed me to an app called facer, check it out, most faces are for 360 but they work fine on ours, until this themes and apps thread gets filled up anyway, there's also a good site for faces called facerepo,

on the facer app, and in the repo there are now a lot of G watch R faces http://www.facerepo.comwhen you go to install once it will tell you if its a moto one but they usually work fine.

Thanks for the link Hawke. Looks like all are made for the 360 with the bottom of the clocks cut off. How would these look on the G Watch R?

It might be that they'll look just good. Those faces are basically just .zip files. If you open one and look what's in there. At least one (background) image on images folder (without file extension, but when renamed to .png you can open it). None of these images have been rounded as far I have checked.
Also there is this watchface.json file. IF there even is way to make face just for Moto 360, it has to be in watchface.json (but I somehow doubt it). Then there is this preview image, which is screenshot from Moto 360 or done in some photo editing software to have that flat tyre - if I'm right.
So I'm believeing - without owning this device (yet) - that they'll look just fine on LGGWR.

Most 360 watches work fine, the only gripe is that they usually come with a bezel, where as ours has one already, but now with the increase in the release of the watch I'm sure we will see more faces
Sent from my HTC One_M8

Seeing more and more appearing now with numerals right at the edge of the screen; much more GWR friendly. A lot of the faces on facerepo are fully round even though the preview shows them cut off like the 360. Suck it and see...

i can only second that most of the artists never bother to specially cut out the lower section, at least i didnt bother i always made a full circle, the previevs on facerepo just cut the lower section out if the template is for moto360 but the full image is there

very good news i'll chose one and try

[WatchFace] Circles Watchface

Hello everyone!
This is my watchface that I published on the Play Store:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
It features an original and clean design, with support for ambient screen (dimmed mode).
Future updates will feature more themes with various color combinations, and the possibility to fully customise the interface.
It was tested on a Moto360. Supposedly it should work on other Android Wear smartwatches as well. If you can test it on other models, I would be grateful if you would provide feedback.
Get it for free from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deveddy.circleswatchface
Enjoy!

I like it. It looks quite nice on the GWR.
A (configurable?) black background (in ambient mode) would be ideal for the OLED screen.
It's a keeper for me, thnx!

Misleading advertising in the picture on the play store. Its a 360 but without the flat tire? Photoshopped really? Also it's not compatible with wear 5.0

Haha, good one! I'm not a designer, I just used some free template from the internet. But I hardly believe that someone thinks that it's fake advertising.
Also, it should be compatible with wear 5.0, I tested on the emulator (I still haven't received the update yet on my Moto 360) and it worked. Although it's not using the new Wear Watchface API (yet )

It'll work but it won't dim. So it will shred battery life.

Oh, I see, I couldn't test ambient mode in the emulator. Anyway, I'll be updating the watchface to the new API very soon.
Thanks for the feedback.

i also could not get it to dim and it estimated full discharge of battery at 8hrs from 80% serious drain, i dont even use FIT now as i found that take battery too!
really like the idea off the ambient display more then the main one

Hi! I just published an update to the watch face, that makes use of the new Wear 5.0 APIs. This being said, ambient mode works flawlessly,also a 12-hour format option has been added, and the circles are sharper . Enjoy!

I have just installed your watchface and I like it.
Could you add the possibility to raise the diameter of the circles ?
On my LG R the circles are a bit smalls compared to the diameter of the screen.
Many thanks.

classic design. had this in my collection and confused it for a default watch face! :good:
