It's still being tested.

i wish we can replace the strap...but unfortunately cannot

Before anyone asks, yes, it can run ingress. But due to the display size, it's not usable.
(although, having ingress installed means I get notifications, which is a bonus)

I want this watch bad. Will be my next smart watch for sure

How does Ingress deal with multiple devices?
Pretty nice review, now I'm waiting for my November Developer Edition 1GB/8GB very anxiously. How was the flashing process? Did yours come rooted or non-rooted? :laugh:

dust ?
From the pictures, a lot of dust seems to be stuck on the watch?

Yes I too was wondering about the same thing. I did not believe it to be dust but simply the unpolished look of the watch. I am hoping it is dust and I am wrong because from the pictures the watch does not look like a polished quality finish

The watch has glass screen - fingerprints will be noticeable, metal case - that one is solid, and cheap silicone/rubber wristband - sort of a dust magnet, no way around it since it's not replaceable. The value of TS is not in a rubber wristband, but in the watch itself

Vectron:
I can understand and appreciate your response.
By the way I want to go out my way to express to you my sincere appreciation of you making sure you addressed the speakerphone matter that I had raised in earlier posts. You are the first and only one who has addressed the issue and let us know that the speakerphone is plenty loud enough for calls, something I decried about the Samsung Galaxy Gear.
By the way that was the best user review I have seen on a phone or watch phone. Everyone ghets into all of these specifications and technical matters and forget to cover the basics like "how does the watch feel, look---is it too large---is the screen really visible---If I make a call can I hear the other person and vice versa---all of these nonthechnical matters that go into an everyday user experience (and not from a developers or customizer's perspective) you attempted to cover and quite well I might add.
I can't wait for you to be able to report on the companion, bluetooth tethering capabilities of the watch if that ever comes to be. But for all of us nontechies your review and evaluation has been heaven sent

Reviews like his take a lot of load off the developers and is very much appreciated. Doesn't mean there won't a developer review but in this case his review definitely give us some breathing room and time to actually use the TS vs fixing things. For example, I still have yet to actually play with mine yet and I've had it over a week now.

Thank you all for the kind words! As you have seen from my Index Review page on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333 I take every review very seriously, either if its $5 screen protector or $15 case or $200 smartwatch or $500 headphones. I actually started doing these reviews with a main intent to answer questions left open by all those other "pro" dry reviews on specialized websites where they list spec, summarize their opinion in one paragraph and post a bunch of picture that still doesn't provide a clear "picture" of the product. I also hated user reviews posted in the forum with low res picture shots from a phone in poor lighting. But anyway...
TS shaping up to be a great product with unlimited capabilities. For those interested to start testing Companion app, make sure to check Kurt's G+ page with instructions (the references were provide in the latest KS update), and for those who already have the watch - YOU MUST flash it with Loki's latest ROM. It's not even a matter of question.

Heh Vec:
Does your above post indicate that there is a Companion app or tool that is now available, but being tested and refined. If so that is great news and puts me in the position of making my purchase

Excelent review, I can't wait more for mine.

Hello vectron,
Thanks for your good and detailed review.
I am currently using a MetaWatch Frame. I tried also Sony SmartWatch 2, but the vibration motor was too loud, so I returned it. All people around me would have heard every mail or SMS I got with this loud vibration.
The vibration of the MetaWatch is discreet, like it should be.
I saw in your reviews, that you tested a MetaWatch Frame.
1. Is the vibration of the Omate TrueSmart loud or discreet?
2. Is the vibration on the Omate TS louder than the MetaWatch Frame? How is the vibration of the TS compared with the MetaWatch Frame?
3. Did you also try the Sony SmartWatch 2? If yes, how is the vibration loudness of the TS compared with the Sony Smartwatch?

Good questions. As you have seen, I been working with MetaWatch for awhile and have//reviewed their STRATA/FRAME models - the main purpose is to receive email notifications and not to miss calls. The vibration is just perfect with MW. I can't comment on SW2. I'm on the list of Sony accessory reviewers and have talked to their PR firm about review sample. Unfortunately, they are delaying sending review products, and I have a feeling it has something to do with a lot of recent posts about quality control (people have screen popping off, problem with buttons, etc).
For me personally, Notification feature is #1 requirement for TS. But it's still in alpha testing and I wasn't able to get it to work yet, possible due to some setup issues. Trust me, as soon as I have a more stable release version and can get it to work on my TS - I will post a detailed review.
Another great thing Kurt is working on is OWatchOn app which turns the display on when you raise your arm. It's work in progress as well, and Kurt is fine tuning it. So far you need a specific angle/position to turn the display on, but he will add more options where you can customize it.

I tried loki's rom and didn't really like it. Back on stock now but I have installed his mod.

(request) chicago blackhawks or purdue boilermaker theme

Can someone create a Chicago Blackhawks or Purdue BOILERMAKER face for moto 360?

There is a nice Purdue face in this collection.

Here's a Boilermaker gold and black Rolex face I made the other day...
If you mess around with Facer a little, faces like this are extremely easy to do (and I'm sure almost everyone here is at least ten times better than I am at stuff like this)... I don't even really know what I'm doing, and was able to make that face in just a few minutes (minus the weather icons which took a bit of figuring out), with nothing other than the Facer app on my phone... I've been messing around with the weather icons and temp, and battery, but things like that are very easy to add or remove... but it's real easy to make a Purdue face (instead of Rolex), or add or change any images you use, etc... I even find websites just dealing in watch faces, so you just use those images and don't even have to worry about photoshopping arms, etc...

Did you ever find a Hawks face?

[Facer] [Watchmaker] [ROUND] High Quality watch faces/skins by lewi1032 taking reques

UPDATE 8/3/2019 Hello everyone its been a long time since I have been on here as I took a break from here as it is so time consuming on making custom watch faces but I still get a ton of requests, kinds words and donations to this very day. I understand that I started doing this way before digital watches were as popular now so I am considering starting back and trying to make custom watch faces and in helping the community and myself. I am adding a poll to see what the demand is for digital watch faces for any watch of your desire. Please share as if the demand is enough and can be advantageous enough for the time that is put into these I will start doing this again as I have always had a passion to create and contribute. Thanks again for everyones kind words as always!!!

Since our Huawei watches are AMOLED, I'd really like to see more faces that won't lead to excessive burn-in in ambient mode. I'm always looking for dimmed faces that only show hands, not minute marks or logos. I'd especially like to see more analog faces where the dimmed hands don't start at the center.

What option do you select in the settings for facer to make it fill and fit correctly on the Hauwei? All the options I see puts it smaller and towards the top left corner.

I nice high resolution version of the Rolex Submariner watchface without a bezel would be amazing!

Hi,
Is it possible to ask your moto360's skins without the black band at the bottom of each skin ?
Thank you very much for your beautiful work.

Could you possibly do the Tissot PRS 200 in blue?
Can't post a link to image as I'm new, I hope you can help!
Thanks! Amazing work!

a dark mondaine with date and stop2go would be amazing

Waiting to see if full round faces will be available without that flat tire.

well, the topic is quite calm. I uploaded the picture of the Lotus watch but no reaction from anyone so far.
Cause I saw in this and other topics that Leni (and ofcourse the others) made some great watchfaces so far. I wonder how the Lotus watch would look like digitally

So I'm requesting this watch face without the moto 360 and with working icons, or at least icons that display weather, watch battery, phone battery, and footsteps. I've loved this design since day one.

I'd like a watchface that does not turn all black in ambient mode. Some of the ZW3 watchfaces do that (for ex. Lux Copper) but I cant figure out how to do that on Hwatch. And the ZW3 watchfaces dont work on Hwatch (constant loading issue)
Thanks

Huawei my next SmartWatch? Some questions!

Hello,
i bought a Galaxy S7 Edge (was an Iphone 6 Plus and Apple Watch User).
But now i need a new Smartwatch.Not really sure if i will buy the Moto 360 V2 or the Huawei Watch.
In my opinion the black little sensor bar on the Moto is a disturbing.
But more important for me are the WatchFaces.It seems as the Moto 360 has more Whatchfaces (like the Repo Faces of some luxury brands ) than the Huawei Watch?
Is this point right or can I get these Designs on the Huawei Watch,too?
Sorry for my bad english,my friends.English isn't my main language.

You can download all the watchfaces from the PlayStore that you want. Paid or Free and can even make your own.

IMHO watchfaces are not relevant at all in the choice of a smartwatch, as it's always possible to find the wished watchface somewhere or to design one by yourself (using Watchmaker).
More important to consider are the hardware differences (design, screen, etc.) and the price...

Most Android Wear faces are compatible with most of the devices and it's usually stated if they're not. The only big issues can be square vs round watch faces and low resolution, since the Huawei Watch has a higher resolution screen

I'm really a Newcomer in this topic.So i can't make Whatchfaces by myself and so i am depend on the developers of this great Designs.
Most Watchfaces which look good for me are designed for the Moto.But i don't know if it's such a problem because of the Screen Resolution.
If not I would go with Huawei.All in all,the price isn't an important point for me.
I can't buy a Tag Heuer Connected but the price between the Huawei and Moto is ok.

It's hard to say without any specific examples. Can you link any of the Moto faces you're interested in? But I have only come across very few faces which looked low-res on the Huawei Watch, most are fine since everyone uses high-res graphics anyway.

Edit : It seems as if this kind of Watchfaces have this black sensor bar in every Watchface.So it's hard to find this kind of Watchfaces originally made for the Huawei

Most of these watchfaces even though they were originally released for the moto will work on Huawei. I have many of them installed on my watch and they work just fine. I have not used this source which you have mentioned but I hvae obtained them from other places like facerepo. You will need to purchase the full version of Watchmaker however

Maybe you don't know this site:
http://www.watchawear.com/watches/watch-faces.html
There are hundreds of free watchfaces to be used with Watchmaker.
And actually even a child can learn to use Watchmaker..

Watchmaker and Huawei watch works perfectly. You can use any round watch face no matter if it was designed for Moto or not.
Never had any issues.
Here you can also find plenty watchmaker watchfaces: https://plus.google.com/communities/106982503578105386202

I think his main concern is that Moto faces all have that flat tire look and it carries over to the Huawei watch. But they don't..that area is covered up. As an example look at this watch someone with a Moto posted: https://plus.google.com/photos/1132...202&sqsi=25e11c8c-fc50-42c4-95d4-fea916b927cd
I just installed the same watch face and took a screenshot of it (look below). It looks just fine Not flat tire and the resolution is fine.
Also when you install an app like WatchMaker, you can customize the watch face as you want, changing colors and shortcuts etc.

Thank You very much.
I thought that the Black Sensor Bar would be on everyone watch because they are made for the Moto Watch.
Am I right,that the link i posted earlier would be in Fullsize without the Black Bar?
In Facer they have all this Black Bar.
Thank You for your help.

As promised, I write my impressions. The watch face looks great, all parts are harmoniously combined. But for me, the clock hands seem too small, it is difficult to determine the time, casting a quick look at the clock. On the other hand, even these small hands sometimes close the digital clock and steps, so that they are difficult to read. I don’t know how to fix it and not break the harmony. (((

thanks for your input, you are right
i think the only option would be to have the face digital only, without the watchhands, as there is too much information beneath them,
any thinner and the watch hands cannot be seen anymore

this might be my next FREE Watchface, going digital, all the way ?

IMHO doesn’t look as pretty as with watch hands

Excellent work
