i think i well go with meta-watch
I'd love to walk around with this watch, a Nexus 7, and Project Glass
Pebble Watch
This one got alot of buzz surrounding it's Kickstarter campaign. They were looking to raise $100,000 and ended up with over $10 million.
http://getpebble.com
There are over 68,000 pre-orders so you might be waiting awhile
They said they are looking to ramp up production to 15,000 per week sometime after September.
How could you text via this watch? Lol
I was thinking of picking up a Nano & watchband, I don't really see myself playing games on a little phone, especially for that price range, the nanos are 100? + $50 watch band = same concept?

I preordered this in January (right after CES) and they were supposed to ship in April. April came and went and imwatch kept pushing the ship dates back and back and without any word of why the delay. I requested a refund and that alone took 15 business days to process. I even called Italy long distance (using google voice) and they STILL didn't do anything correctly. Really bad customer service. I am a pebble backer Waterproof ftw IMO. :highfive:
And I have seen ONE person get their i'm watch. That's very suspect, because if the stated 300 "beta" users were supposed to get their im watches, I haven't heard or seen any youtube vids of any sort.
i just bought the motorola motoactv to sync to my phone after motorola announced a @100 price drop. for $200, its a 16gb smart watch that will read facebook updates, sms, allow you to answer calls (you can sync a bluetooth headset or use a wired headset on the watch itself), has GPS tracking, accelerometer. however, its more of a fitness oriented watch with limited customisability, and most existing apps are fitness related.
the sony mn2 smartwatch is cheaper, but the screen isnt as good as the motorola, and it doesnt have any notable storage options. the sony smartwatch is nothing more than a mere digital watch when its not sync'd to the device, as all the apps are just widgets to read stuff from your android device. the advantage is that its much more customisable than the motorola.
So I pre-order the I’m Watch 11/2011 (over a year ago), and I’m still waiting for it. I opened a trouble call to get an update and got the following answer within 24 hrs.
Dear Customer,
we have started and will proceed with the deliveries in chronological order up until the 15th of September.
Once your order will near the shipping, the tracking number will be available to follow its schedule and have a more precise date.
The discount will be provided to you shortly before the shipping.Our administration still has to evaluate whether to provide it via bank transfer or on the credit card used for the payment if possible.
Best regards,
i'm Staff

Now if they would ship my watch that would be even better!!!

Pebble NFC Payment Smartstrap

Apparently I can't post a link as a new user (fair policy, I suppose) but a smartstrap with NFC payments was demoed at the Pebble Rocks Boulder Hackathon this past weekend.
Search Reddit for "NFC Payment Smartstrap for Pebble Time is a GO! " for more details.

S7/gear VR bundle promotion :-/

So like many others I was excited to hear id be getting a free VR with the purchase of my S7 edge, it actually sold me on the phone as i had the Note 5 and was very pleased with it. Anyways I heard on the commercials "while supplies last" but i never imagined how limited said supplies are...300,000 to be exact. So I did some digging and couldnt find the number of s7 sales, but i did find an article that said pre-orders for the sales were much higher than the S6/E and the preorders for that was 15 million. So over 15mil preordered and only 300k VR's available????..... thats less than 2% of buyers that actually get a VR. I dont know about anyone else but this puts a very bad taste in my mouth for Samsung. Almost every advertisement ive seen was promoting a free VR with purchase. I think it borders on the line of false advertising.
What are your guys thoughts?

Best buy, sprint, and a few others had their own stock that was in excess of the 300k. It's not as bad as it sounds.

I agree with squallz. Your comparing the total overall sales world wide of the s6 edge when you only need to look at the total sales for t-mobile. Samsung is giving away the gear vr for two reasons. 1 to boost s7 sales and 2 they want to drive the vr market which is rapidly expanding.
Nah, don't worry about it too much, they don't want to deal with mass lawsuit, plus they're basically already calculating the VR as a promo tool for people to invest in VR games/apps.

Okay so I see now that my math is way off. I thought this was a worldwide promotiom, but its limited to the US. 15mil s6 preordered worldwide. I cant find a number for just the US.
But Intub8 it wasn't just for tmoblie. Its every carrier in the US.

Yes but every carrier has their own supply and those who purchased at best buy got their vr with their phone. T-mobile has their own 300 thousand units.
Really?! Well that gives me hope. I didnt see that info anywhere!
Bought my phone in the UK from Samsung and received my phone with the VR seems like only us etc have to redeem via a code
I'm on Verizon and opted for the free gear s2 watch which I'll probably sell and get the moto 360 or hauwei watch. I have a Google cardboard and though neat, I can't see myself using the VR often.
Fingers crossed I submitted in time. I pre-ordered on launch day and received phone on the 7th.

I have pre-ordered to get these VR, but my carrier didn't get enough home, so i gotta wait 3 weeks before they come
IBought phone at best buy, no preorder, walked out with free credit, free 64gb micro SD and I got a free $30 gift card for using Samsung pay and I've gotten a few other free perks.
They said I had to choose an upgrade or pay over time option. So I chose the pay for it over 2years since it's 0% apr.
^just like if you registered Sammy pay by 3/10 they would send you a free wireless charger. They ran out and I did mine on 3/8

That's how I thought it would be when on pre ordered my S7 Edge on February 23rd.
I ordered my VZW GS7E through BB because VZW is brain-dead and will not sell an unactivated phone, even at full price, but they allow BB to do it!!! I got a Gear VR headset and 64GB microSD card free with the phone, through Best Buy. I wanted to get the free Gear 2 Smartwatch form VZW but they wouldn't let me order the phone (even at full price) without messing up my plan.

Do Samsung Pay 'new card' promotions come along very often?

I missed the wireless charger promotion for adding a new card to Samsung Pay, my S7e didn't arrive in time.
I was going to sign up to grab the $30 gift card but I wasn't sure if I should wait on adding a card for another promotion.
Do they regularly offer promotions for adding new cards?
Thanks.
They do occasionally have promos but the $30 seems well worth it since you can purchase anything with the gift card (assuming the product is available from BestBuy, eBay, etc). You can even buy a wireless charger with it!
Don't miss out on the $30 promo, it's one of the better ones that come along.

How do you redeem the promotion code? Free $30? Does it comes in your purchase?
It comes in an email, and I woulove also just do it. It's $30 and you have choices. When Google wallet came out, they only gave $10 which was nice but it's not $30 to your fav store!

Click on "more" and "announcements" in Samsung Pay, click on the $30 gift card promo. Once you make a purchase it will pop up and ask you what gift card you want, it then gets added to Samsung Pay.
Got it thanks
The wireless charger is nice and even better since it was free. But you can't go wrong with a free $30.
There seems to be a new Promo every time I turn around. I had to warranty replace my old Note 5, and they gave me the Samsung wireless U headset as a promo. I got a wireless charger with the original Note 5, and something else with the S6 Edge.

Should I buy the Pebble Time?

Hey,
I have one gathered before me which costs around 95GBP, including shipping to my country.
I've told my dad that I'm interested in getting a watch and particularly this one. However, since it's my first time wearing a watch, will it be comfortable will I notice it, do I sleep with it? wink:
I'm pretty much sold with pebble, I like their direction, the price is right, now I need a final push to order it.
Persuade me into getting the watch please. :slight_smile:
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Peppa
I was looking for a simple smartwatch that can show notifications and who's calling, i spent almost two weeks seeing reviews about android wear and Pebble. I ended up ordering a Pebble Time yesterday What had me sold was the battery life, the dev support, brightness in direct sunlight and the simplicity of the watch (and the price )
Pebble watches are the only smart watch that is also compatible with iOS. This was my big selling point.

Not entirely true. AndroidWear is compatible with iOS too.
