I have been using my pebble with it since I got my oneplus. Before that i had a Nexus 5 and no problems either
It is a really good option if you look for a good battery and plenty of apps.
L G watch!!! It worked perfectly with my g3 and oneplus
My Moto 360 has been working just fine.
I got a LG G watch R love it

I've had a Pebble since the first Kickstarter units shipped, and recently switched to a Moto 360. You can't go wrong with either. I definitely prefer the Moto 360, but the Pebble is unbeatable for battery life.
Sony
I have a SmartWatch3 and it works perfectly well
I have a Zenwatch and it works perfectly with my OPO Only thing is that the smart lock feature thing eats up the battery, so I've turned that off and control the lockscreen from tasker.
I'm using an LG G Watch R and loving it l.

Zenwatch with OPO has been wonderful.
I'm using a moto 360 for some time now, it works great, no errors.
I think that as long as you use an Android Wear watch, it will work just fine.
every smartwatch based on android wear will work fine for you! (and multiplatform ones, like pebble, just do not try the apple i watch *laughing*)
I've bought the opo and my G watch at the same time. Love both. All the android wear ones are basically the same. Just depends on the style you'd like more

Avoid Samsung Gear watches. Some functions might work, but many will not.
Thanks all for your suggestions.
Definitely I will plan to buy a Sony smartwatch 3, maybe..

Looking some videos, the interface is not that beauty!.
I have had a Moto 360 since it fist came out and I love the idea but I would really like a android wear 2.O device or maybe Samsung OS for there smartwatches but I can't make up my mind any suggestions? Hawaiwi is kinda on my list not but I've been trying to research everything out there not just the Android ones even tho I am a android fan boy. What do you guys think of some of the other options like Samsung OS or pedal and the few others they have compared to Android wear. Well hope to hear from some of you and to me a micro or C usb would be plus to me I'm a root junkie but not a deal breaker it is a watch. Thanks hope this was a good spot for the post

i had and still have my moto 360 but now have the samsung gear s3 and that is way better than the 360 apart from the lack of good apps , but that should get better hopefully , battery life is good and get just over 3 days with moderate use , so the s3 is worth looking into as well.
Thanks in gonna try and wait a sec to see what the new year brings but in getting impatient

Same here. The moto 360 convinced me that smartwatches are awesome. I love the new gear s3, demo I saw was awesome. But no Verizon support kills it for me. Well, that and the limited apps. However, the Samsung pay feature on a watch is so cool and 10x better than android pay will ever be which pretty much makes up for lack of apps.
If Verizon ever gets the gear s3, I'm gonna be a day 1 customer. What really sucks in the smartwatch market is that if google and Samsung worked together, the app support would be so much better and smartwatches would have been mainstream by last year.
Does anyone use an Android watch? Any recommendations if you do. Was interested in buying one but no idea which one

As of right now, I'd suggest the Huawei watch. Though, if I were you, I'd wait. A whole bunch of new Android wear watches are probably about to be released. Android wear 2.0 is about to come out with a whole bunch of new features, and a bunch of new watches should follow to support these new features.

I am using the Moto 360 2nd gen with my oneplus 3t... Everything working fine! no problems
I have the zenwatch2 and love it.but I also echo the above comments. I would wait it out a month or two and see what's new coming.
Huawei Watch and everything work good

I read that the Huawei watch will get Android wear 2.0 features via update. So possible just new hardware and new designs?
Huawei watch or wait...

I'm quite happy with my Sony Smartwatch 3:
- cheap (you can easily find it for ~100€ on Amazon
- I can easily get a full solid day off the battery
i'm using a samsung gear s3 frontier along with my OP3T. notification works well. i can answer calls but I cannot text on the watch (not that I want to). spotify controller works well, and I can read flipboard articles on the watch to pass time.
Huawei watch is pretty good, tho mic and voice commands seems to be worse than on the other watches. Maybe because mic is located underside of the watch, where the band connects. I have been using Android wear 2.0 beta for some time already, and really liking it, much smoother than old version. But Google is propably gonna announce new watches soon, Android wear 2.0 stable is coming in next month. If you find a really good deal for Huawei watch or others, then maybe buy now, but otherwise I would wait and see the new ones which are coming.
No love for the Asus Zenwatch 3 in here?

I've been using a Sony Smartwatch 3 ever since it was launched and wouldn't change it for anything else. I tried a Huawei Watch for a couple of days and it wasn't as comfortable. Furthermore, I use it as a GPS running watch and it pairs with any BT Smart HRM without any issue. Nice to go for a long run without a phone when you have GPS, MP3-player and HRM on your wrist.
I would recommend the Samsung Gear S3 ,or even the Gear S2 ,the software is superior to Android wear in my opinion .

I'm planning on getting a gear s3 frontier with my 3T. How is the compability? Any significant limitations compared to pairing it with a Samsung phone?
Anyone miss a call notification once and a while?
Ill notice Ill get a missed call on my watch and it never vibrated
Using Gear S3 Frontier and the only thing i might miss is google assistant unless sammy updates the gear s3 with their own rumoured assistant Bixby.
The rotating bezel, the battery life, and the simple OS are major wins.
and with samsung pay about to launch in India its a major win because of MST.
Hi, I used to own a nexus 7 (2013) and i loved that device, sadly the unit i owned died, and i've been using an ipad mini 1st gen ever since.
I would be using the device for almost exclusevely youtube netflix and reading and i wanna know if the device would perform well at that level. I think i would appreciate the resolution upgrade from the ipad mini, but im worried if the nexus would be able to perform those tasks well enough or if i should just save more and just bare with this ipad for a little longer then get something else better. Thanks for any insight on ur current experiences with ur beloved nexus
I am also interested in that question, have picked up a Nexus 7 but didn't realise how old it was.
I have a Nexus 7 (2013) and love it, partly thanks to the price I got it (50 CAD) but I have to admit that it struggles a bit with everything now.
Don't get me wrong, it's still usable but when you have a video embedded in a webpage for example, you'll feel it.
I am updating it regularly with LOS 15.1 btw.

You picked one up?! These things are hard to find when you're looking for them, especially a LTE model.
Anyway. I'd not get one unless you're doing some specialized like a car install.
Hi,
Yes got one off ebay with a cracked screen for not a lot of money, have ordered a replacement screen and will get that changed this weekend.
I actually bought it so I could use it in my car with and obd2 app. Hopefully it will at least work for that
It's awesome for in-car use. The LTE version is even better!
I use mine as a Kindle, Newspaper/Magazine reader, and Satnav.
Love it, actually.

I use mine for exactly what you are looking for and it works great. I'm running LineageOS 14.1 and everything is pretty quick for a 6 year old device.
I installed Lineage 15.1 and its working well so far
If you think that you are going to thoroughly enjoy using it then purchase one. Who are we to tell you not to?

I just wanted the input on if it wouldnt be just too laggy with apps crashing and such, but i went ahead and bought myself one, and it does everything i wanted with no problem at all <3
works great still

It still works awesome for me. I bought it initially to install in my car, and it's been amazing. Battery life is so much better with the lineage OS installed. I was just sad when they stopped updated with it. Somebody has lineage 15.1 installed and the camera is working? I thought it wouldn't with 15. I've just kept 14 on mine.
I have 15.1 and the camera is working fine
I use the Nexus 7 LTE as my daily driver actually. since 3g is sufficient for encrypted voice calls and text messaging i am fine in 90% of the situations. But be aware that installing any google services brings your batterylife and performance to inuseable. stuttering youtube, when watching 720p on cellular. noticable loading times for simple apps etc.
Since i use mostly my own infrastructure and services (and i am a noob so its all very basic), i can even lower the CPU step to ~1 GHz (60/70%) and i got a batterylifespan fullcharge to shutdown ranging from 2 days for extensive use (hourwise reading/streaming video) and on my average use i get 4-5 days (50/60 messages a day, ~2h/day streaming music on cellular, ~.5 hours of reading in the evening, casual online searches, marginal navigation/public transport lookup) on pure standby its over 10 days. I went for a vacation and cut the power to most of my apartment, but the Nexus wasn't turned of. Had 13% remaining battery when i returned.
For holidays/outdooractivities, where i need 1 week+ Battery and voice/SMS reception (either for emergency reasons or lack of mobile internet) i use an old b/w candybar phone with the option of external antenna.
So if you want a shiny game device with hours of mobile video and google telling you **** all day about the weather, the famous persons that walked this exact street once and that there is a mediocre rated restaurant of your favourite cuisine just 200 feet away. Dont go for the Nexus 2013.
But if you just need a mobile organizer, reader, a little multimedia, communication and you avoid telemetry, ads and tracking (google, facebook, whatsoever) anyways the nexus is a great device and probably will be for a good while, since a lot of good and consitent developers share that view.
Greetz, pitch
What's going to be the best watch for Pixel thinking about going with the Galaxy watch but I don't know how well they woul work together
The Galaxy watch works best with a Samsung phone user especially if they are actually using Samsung software. It's got great multiple day battery life, doesn't look cheap.
Ticwatch Pro has it's secondary display so it can go into it's super low power mode. It does very little in that mode and I didn't find it of any use but if your itinerary includes setting off on a 10 day camping trip with 20% watch battery remaining having forgot to charge it's the only smart watch that will still be lit up after that ten days. It does have legitimate all of a long day power though which with Android is really the best you can hope for unless you get the Galaxy watch. Overall this watch is my preferred watch over the 2 I've mentioned so far and the next one.
Fossil sport gives you the latest but still old Wear OS processor. It doesn't help in any way I could discern with performance or battery life. Comes in two sizes but only the bezel gets bigger, screen remains the same. I liked this one but nothing much about it stands out.
So those are the ones I've tried recently. I'd go Ticwatch Pro if choosing among them. The Galaxy is the best hardware hands down but you have a very limited app selection and it works best with Samsung phones which I don't have right now. I don't have much bad to say about the Fossil but don't have much good to say about it either. It lacks the Ticwatch party trick and in my use had slightly worse battery life.

Best watch is the Samsung Galaxy! It will work perfect! I have one.
I am thinking about getting 3a XL. I do love my Nexus 6, but 3a, might be faster.
As much as I prefer wear OS over tizen, I will say that my Galaxy S3 classic works pretty well. The battery life is decent, having Samsung pay is nice without bogging down my phone software, and app support has gotten better. If it weren't for the abysmal battery life and decent selections for decent wear OS devices, I would be on one in a heartbeat. I had the ZTE quartz from T-Mobile, which was actually a pretty great watch for the price, but we all know what happened with ZTE and software updates are non-existent sadly, and it seems 3rd party development has halted entirely.
Tizen is really the only decent software offering right now, considering the hardware it runs on. Hopefully, Google can convince oems to make more decent wear OS devices, but I'm not holding my breath for it, sadly.
Galaxy watch has better battery life over s3. Over anything and is the most water proof.
I got lucky. Almost bought an S3. SO glad I didn't!
Been using my huawei smartwatch2 with 3axl. No issues yet and all notifications seem to be working fine

I will most likely get one very soon. It's in my cart. Still no TWRP. Unicorn ROM is available. Can be rooted. The thing that scares me is the bad reviews on the screen. Dimmer than a regular Pixel and not very good image quality some say.
Android Q beta available for all Pixel devices.
Nasty bug in Q for Samsung Galaxy watch plugin though.

twrp is being worked on and should be released unofficially soon(look in the twrp thread)
the screen is fine tbh and honestly until twrp is out im sticking to rooted stock as its the easiest to deal with, i personally dont have any issues with the screen, its plenty bright outside in direct sunlight and the thing is color calibrated from the factory also image quality meaning pictures? if so then it's literally the same camera module as the pixel 3/xl just without that image processor so snapchat can't use hdr+ enhanced but the google camera can still so its really a non issue
just go to a tmobile store or verizon store or best buy and check the phone out(assuming you are in the states) before buying it yourself, frankly im getting tired of seeing notches and pin holes in displays so i mainly got the 3a xl just because it didnt have those and the fact that its a google phone(so i know its gonna be a decent buy regardless)
