Hi all,
I decided to buy my first smart watch and I'm oriented to get a moto 360.
In your opinion is a good idea to buy it now or should I wait that the next 360 comes out?

if you have the money, wait for the next version.
if you want it for a discounted price, get the current 360...

I recently bought an old one because its worth for money right now. but if you have the money, absolutely more expensive than the older one, get the new one.

Thank you guys. The moto 360 in italy now cost 220€, and i don't want to spend more than that for a watch.
How much do you think the new one will cost?
Surely minimum 100€ more. So better get the present one.
But mostly we won't be getting another update (after 5.1.1 which is awesome)

It's an hard choice, what would you do? I'm not going to spend 300€ for the new model, that's sure

I think the new one not far from the urbane for the price.

Actually agree. With 5.1.1, unless you have to be on the bleeding edge, this is a great watch
In the US, it is discounted to $150 now.... Waiting for Canada to get a similar deal.....
If the next 360 still has the flat tire and is only a resolution, battery, and processor upgrade I may buy the old one on the cheap just to replace my cracking back and wait for the following generation.
I had the same dilemma, but pulled he trigger because I felt like I wanted to experiment with a cheap device to see if I get any real use out of it. I couldn't justify the price if I then realized too late that I didn't use it. So if you want to try something with android wear and some cool feaures but accept its limitations which are known then get it, I'm also not an avid poster here, but an avid peruser, and I think that most people here try and get the best use of whatever device they have and can afford

I doubt there will be no further updates. I'd guess we see a bit more, especially with the watch offering Wi-Fi, and the current clunky navigation of apps on 5.1.1...

Hi,
I recommend buying the first Moto 360, it's currently really cheap. And knowing Motorola and how they arranged the last version, I think it might still get a few updates, it's not even one year old yet.
Another "buy it now" vote. Android Wear is still in its infancy (think the old Palm Pilots or Windows CE devices from a decade ago vs. phones today), and there's no indication that the "must have" features that will make these watches go mainstream are up and coming. If we saw something on the current gen that just needed more 'oomph' than what we currently have the next gen would be an easier choice.
Bottom line: if you're intrigued and tempted, grab the cheaper current gen one. Try it for a few months. The chances of these devices going from Windows Mobile 6 to Kit Kat (in terms of usefulness) in the next generation of smartwatches is pretty small.

I bought my first Defy just before Christmas.
Well I lost my Defy in the Indian Ocean on holiday a couple of weeks ago..... waterproof video
Problem is I really liked the Defy but is it really worth paying for twice £260 x2 ?
What is it like with 2.2 and will it ever get an open bootloader?
Convince me to get another one, because I can't decide.
BTW I'm now using a Nokia 5800, so it may not take too long before I get the urge.

Question is: What are alternatives and what features do you need? If you need waterproof video, the selection is probably limited . 260 Pounds sounds a bit expensive IMHO.

1.Don't know yet, 2. probably not.
I personally think the phone is worth it's money and it is a solid and reliable device, but because of the locked bootloader I will not buy a Motorola phone again and hence will not convinve you in buying one.
By elementary economics/accountings, your bricked phone is historical and shouldn't be factor in your decision

Why pay so much? On ebay you can find new for 200-220 euros. i found mine for 190
problem resolved
checked on Ebay and put in a bid for £215 on a new sim free Defy and won. Was checking out Samsung Galaxy S as well, they look nice. FTR Nokia 5800 is fairly rubbish, but worth £70.... hello Ebay
The moral here was that we shouldn't be too tight with our money. Or tie string on your phone when in the sea, you choose.
out.
So I've got the chance to sell my Play and to buy a new phone, is it worth?
I can only buy phones up to 300€, I'm thinking about an Arc S but then going from outdated to outdated isn't that good plus I can't use touchscreen gaming controls... There's also Nexus S has an option but I think the Arc S camera and design is the most appealing thing for me. What do you think?
Galaxy Nexus?

That's the one I'd like most but it costs way more and I'm really on low budget
Edit: that isn't too expensive, can I really trust it? You're keeping your Play right? We need your awesome developments in here!

Yeah I'll never sell my play, I ordered a Akai turntable from there, arrived home 2 days after!
If the Xplay hadn't existed, or I had enough moneyto have two phones, I'd buy a Galaxy Nexus, especially because it's the lastest official phone from Google and it's the first one to get Jelly Bean, the best mobile os ever.
If you are really poor, just consider buying a Huawei one, I've heard they are cheap.

I'm not "really poor" and I'm happy with XPlay but I wanted a phone with more updated software and specs and since I bought Play this year it's hard for me to buy another phone.

Why is it a shady rip off of the pebble? I seen the pebble and was thinking about buying one. I think they are both nice watches. But the Kreyos blows the pebble away. Voice control, speaker, mic, and sleep tracking is an update already in the works sense the million dollar mark hit. Oh yeah its waterproof. This was a big one for me!

Also like the Kreyos whereas I am waiting for one of the newer versions (e.g. Samsung, Sony, Google) as I like more the Sony SW2 style.
In addition, it is more an evolution than a rip-off, anyway who does not copy anyone in the current tech world , as long as it benefits the end user...
I would try this out once it's released

Although for the Chinese market, I would love to get my hands on one here in NYC to see how it turned out compared to their Winblows based devices.
I got it ... Its nice in look ... But I just found that the headset is not working ... I just tried to use iPhone headset but doesn't !
i got one.
@ran816 the headset is working after an update (a couple of updates ago)
Does anyone know where to import one from? I really want one but I don't want to pay $450 off ebay for one.

I agree...I'd like to get one as well but buying it on eBay would be a ripoff. Anyone have any good info on how to get one in the US for closer to cost?
I'd like to get rid of my Nexus 7....it's just too small....

Yeah, I tried asking all of the sellers if they would accept any offers but they all said no. I'm willing to pay 300+ shipping which is reasonable considering that's a 20% profit for them give or take. I just can't justify that much of a markup for something without a good reason. It should he released in Spain/UK soon anyway.
I had a Nexus 9 but I wasn't a big fan. I liked my Nexus 7 2013 more than the 9 by far. I used to also have a LG GPad 8.3 and I loved it until I broke it. I'm hoping this will be a good tablet to fill the Gpads slot now that I'm tablet less (unless my Nexus 6 is a tablet )

Where do they ship from? Are they a reputable vendor? I realize other members have bought one from them but I'd rather be on the safe side
I bought a Nokia N1 about a week ago from China. Already got 4 system updates. Out of the box was 5.0.2. Latest build number is A5CN410.
The build quality is unbelievable for the price range. Not to mention the screen. Only one issue, no Google Play Services, yet.
I bought the nokia n1 on this site: smartophone.com
it works very well, but still not google apps !
Nokia N1 ,Chinese Edition.
I've got one ,but it sucks by now,'cause it ships without google service,a lot of apps works incorrectly on it .
I bought mine on Amazon...Google Play Store right out of the box. Be sure you get the Taiwan version!
Loving it so far!
I see there's some ROMs on here, do they help keep the watch somewhat current? Would you buy a refurbished version? I see it's a lot cheaper now than it used to be, still a good smart watch to own?
I can recommend it

Hi,
I bought a refurbished Version for ~160€ just one week ago.
I was able to choose, which wristband I like to wear - the price was the same.
The watch uses AndroidWear 2.0
The functionality is still pretty good and the opportunity to root the device is a "nice-to-have"
There are still many apps and possibilities you can do with this watch.
It also looks and feels pretty cool!
Overall, I would recommend buying one - even refurbished.
This is my first SmartWatch and I am very happy with my decision.
I hope I could help you!
:highfive:
