figgy Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Fella I work with just got the samsung one, don't know what it's called, works well enough and looks good. He likes it a lot. I'd prefer one with its own sim. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Apple will be releasing one soon if rumours are to be believed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Apple will be releasing one soon if rumours are to be believed. But you have to wear it round your soft danglies and only operate it on a tuesday at 11pm. Apple says so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overandunder2012 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) the samsung only works with samsung and you know the apple will only work with a iphone as nothing ever works with them if it involves bluetooth and isnt made by apple. the sony and pebble seem to work with any android phone it seems. i do think now is the time smart wearables will come into its own imagine google glass as a sight that showed you where you should be aiming to hit a moving target huge score on the clays Edited June 27, 2014 by overandunder2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm not a die-hard fanboi - but I know quality and innovation when I see it. Apple seems to be trumping everyone else. Yeah, Android has alot of nifty features - but too many other things bring the ecosystem down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overandunder2012 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) iv had both apple and android devices, apple is very reliable kit for the most part but android seems to do much more. i feel the great android apple debate coming on Edited June 27, 2014 by overandunder2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Never a debate Apple just do what's needed every time with no fuss very stylishly, the rest are just to make the numbers up and give people with nothing better to something to do. Trying to get their devices to do what Apple do Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyxologos Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have the Sony smart watch 2. It is nice, but I have to admit I used it two-three times and I do not bother with it any more. If you want a brand new one at a bargain price give me a shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overandunder2012 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 granted hopefully over the next few years these devices will get better looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyxologos Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I do not mind the way it looks. What I do not like is that you can answer a call but cannot use the watch to talk or listen to it. So what is the use? lol. Anyway. It is OK for reading messages, facebook etc, but I cannot see myself to use it ever, so I will put it on ebay I think!

aris Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 This is where Apple excels - design. Both aesthetically, and man-machine interface. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overandunder2012 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 android l may change the game apple may have to come up with something new to match that if android l is as good as they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 This sounds like Android catching up with Apple on the aesthetics/eye-candy front, albeit in their own way. :-) I have android devices too - they are fun. Just insecure, too many forks in the product line across vendors, and many vendors don't support their product past the current point version of the OS. This all leads to interoperability issues and a poor user experience in the end. For me though, the security side is paramount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
