Smart watches

That's you in the Spider-Man suit.

I knew it. Your watch IS smart.

... because if it shows you're not alive, they can say "efff it" and switch to watching the Kardashians?

PEDROS comes to find me.

Bumping this one up!

Samsung has the gear sport out now, at a VERY attractive price, coming from the factory with Tizen 3.0, which seems to address just about every issue I had with the fitness tracking capabilities of the Gear S3. I'll be keeping an eye on reviews, as I have a birthday coming up.

Cool. I'm still using my S2.

Went to Best Buy for a hands on with the Gear Sport, and while very nice, I stumbled across the Huawei Watch 2 sport, and now the decision just got a lot tougher. The Huawei might be one of the best looking smart watches I've seen, I just need to do some more research on it.

Those are both impressive. The Huawei with the metal case is pretty cool.

IMO the first Huawei Smatwatch is a better watch & you can find great deals on them as they're a couple of years old. You can get a steel bracelet for them on Amazon for like $12 shipped. I just gave mine to my wife after a year or so of use and I personally went with an LG Urbane 2 which is also a fantastic watch you can find a great deal on. The downside is the band can't be changed with others like most Wear enabled watches so make sure you like the look of it before you buy. Personally, I love the look as is so I didn't want/need a different band. I really dig this watch and the three button layout of the newer style Wear watches allows me to set two short cuts with the top and bottom buttons. The one downside is that the center button regularly gets pushed whenever I bend my hand back from my fat wrist. A quick search online leads me to believe that my wrists might not be abnormally large as it seems to happen to lots of folk. Either way, fantastic watch and I recommend either of the two and I've owned dozens (literally) of smartwatches going back to the original Sony Smartwatch 1.

Well I ended up with the Huawei, both Amazon and Best Buy shot the Samsung back up to $300, and I found an Open box "excellent" Huawei for $207.99 at Best Buy, so I jumped on it. I'll reply back with my initial thoughts after I spend some more time with it.



PS this pic doesn't do the colors and clarity justice, I'll try to get a better one later.

That is schweeet!
