This watch or keep my zenwatch - Sony Smartwatch 3

Guys and girls help me out
Cannot find anything on Google or YouTube which directly compares these two,
I really want GPS but I'm not a fan of the strap and don't want to spend lots of cash on the official metal band. Has anyone got a direct comparason with the zenwatch
And what are your thoughts
Cheers
Hopefully will be on this forum more often

Keep The zen for now and get one of The new gen watches that are coming
I am swapping my sw3 for The new casio that is coming soon.
But if you get sw3 get The holder kit aswell so you can use normal watchbands.

Too late got the sw3 for 40 pounds bargain sold my zen for 70 actually impressed with the quality.
Where's best place to buy the adapter for the straps.
Currently on 5.0.2 firmware should I update to latest? I've been reading about the drain f
Watch is on lwx49k

I got my holder kit directly from Sony online store sweden
I run The last version but i always do a reboot straight after charging it and it seems to work good ?

Great Car mount kit for GPS USE!

Recently I purchased an HTC Fuze and am quite happy with it. Anyway I decided to get tomtom to sort of have an All In One electronic. I went looking around for something that can keep my hands free and my phone with the TT in a good sight. Since my TomTom Go modded mount didn't work too well I decided to go out and find a good GPS/Phone holder. So I went to wall-mart tonight and picked up this nifty device.http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/337/productID/1593. I know that it says that it is $29.99 but I actually picked it up around $22 with tax. I know to some this may seem a lot but it is money well spent. And don't worry about size for most if not all the phones from this board should fit on this device. If you would like pictures of it installed in my car with my Fuze in it I will get those up by Sunday night!
sorry can someone move this to Accessories. I didn't even see it.

Official Galaxy S2 Desktop Dock

Does anyone know of an alternative source for this dock?
I've had it on order for a couple of weeks now, but it's still showing up as out of stock - more due shortly
Can't seem to find anywhere else that's doing it!
Thx
Bought mine from an ebay reseller and it came in a week from South Korea..
http://www.exportprive.com/samsung-desktop-charging-dock-galaxy-i9100-p-16416.html
ordered spare battery, in the uk within a week
Thanks for that both....
@benjatt - When you searched on the exportprive site for it and it gave you that price.....was that the total price, inc postage etc? It works out 2 or 3 quid extra from them but if that includes the postage as well, I'll cancel my order with mobilefun and order it from exportprive instead, as I rang MF today and they said the next shipment should be in around the 8th July (the last one that should've arrived last Monday, never turned up at all!!)
@chybinj - exportprive are based in S Korea it seems, so your item might have come from their ebay shop!
If you think you can sync data or connect with this device, stay away from this. Yes, I do have it with a gold pack SGS II...
But you can not connect to PC nor sync with it. It is just a stylish charger device for desktop that's all... It does not have own speakers it just a bigger hole that increase sound a bit also.
I was really disappointed that it can not connect at all.. Was hoping for that...

Nope.....don't want to sync or anything...just want a nice and easy 'in-out' sliding action, into a good-looking bedside dock/charger (which, judging by the various vids I've seen of this device, it seems to give....) My current one, clunks in and out of the protruding micro-usb spiggot.....and echo's loudly off my bedside cabinet in doing so....which deffo isn't appreciated by my 'better-half', at 4.30am.....
Do ya want to get rid of yours by any chance...?
price and non sync ability is such a turn off....

Ah no, it is still good "desktop clock" (it has a desktop clock function built-in within the phone -- different type of idle screen)
However, glad I did not pay anything for it extra other than phone's cost.
I can recommend this one for everybody. It is so good. Already ordered another one for my work place.
And then the one question which everybody has been thinking: Does the phone fit there if using official Samsung back cover..
I should get the cover today, so I will try it as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
i also want to buy this desktop charger but i dont know if the phone is going to fit because i am using the skinomi body skin.
Does anyone know if the phone fits to this desktop charger with the skin

To all those asking about fit, it's tight. I have a protective skin on mine and it just barely makes it. Anything thicker than a protector won't work.
Bought one of these from Amazon, which was supplied by expansys, even though it said delivery delays it turned up in 3 days, then they reduced to 29.95 so I ordered another one again turned up in 3 days.
Excellent bit of kit, really nice for the bed side table to.
Shame thing it does not support usb connection

No it doesn't
So I had to ditch my back cover for this. I like the dock way too much. Will receive another one for work probably on monday.
Shame with the backcover thou, also liked that one.

May we hope in some fix on the phone os to enable sync functionality?
Will having the S2 attached to the official dock all the time when being at home affect battery life?
Feel like spamming every dock thread with this question.

I think we must open this dock and cut shorted pins in micro usb plug.
Shorted pins make phone thinking that's an accesory, not USB cable...
Hey guys, I got an official S2 dock, very nice but what a shame, it doesn't sync!!!!!
Anyone has tried something like this??

Well haven't that one been available for quite some time now?
It's a couple of months since I saw it first in Fona (electronics store in Denmark)

Just a heads up if your thinking of getting the AS851 to sit your phone on the front mounted holder your in for a surprise unfortunately I have had this unit for 4 months now, whilst the unit is quite good for some reason My Xperia s and My HOX wont clip onto the unit and stay there, the USB port seems to be recessed into the phone a few mm to much for the dock to grad it properly, all 5 of my other Android phones are perfect but these two just wont play ball
Yeh reviews seem poor for it especially as it uses Bluetooth 2.1 and does not support APT-X, one of the reviews said sound quality was better through the headphone jack to aux jack, kind of defeats the purpose of just docking it....
Didn't buy one after reading them.

Yes just wanted a dock to charge my Andoid phone so was on the lookout as I didn’t want 5 different charging docks but I did want something better than just the cable charge method.
For me I personally think the sound is fairly good, lots of presence and quite tight base too and would rate it about 7/10 compared to sound docks I have listened to in the past, for the money its ment to retail for which I think is about the £180 mark I would defiantly stay well clear, but I was really lucky and picked it for £35 brand spanker from a guy who had been bought for his birthday present but unluckily for him he had an iPhone so it wasn’t any good … so he stuck it on ebay.
That was a great price so well done.
It is available on German amazon between 86 and 112 Euros

foxL Portable Speakers
Here's an alternative if you're keen on apt-x support, and these appear to be of better quality in most specs, but you may question its price. I was specifically looking at foxL v2.2 Platinum Bluetooth Edition

Here's another portable speaker that supports apt-x. I don't believe USB docking would be possible ... yet or ever, but its another alternative to the wireless/portable speaker options out there.

Panasonic RPHJE355K

RUNNING, BIKING, SWIMMING : MOTO 360 or SONY SMARTWATCH 3 ?

Hi everybody,
I would like to buy a smartwatch to prepare a marathon. First, I looked to sport watches but I found them very expensive. Moreover, I want to use this device as a casual gadget.
I use ENDOMONDO for more than one year on Android and i love this app. Moreover, and it's a good news, ENDOMONDO is available on Android Wear.
I'm looking for a smartwatch that allows me to go running, biking, swimming (not necessary), walking,... without my phone. I will synchronize my data using bluetooth when i will be back at home. Also, I don't want to spend more than 200$ in this smartwatch.
I really like the design of the MOTO 360, its price and its native compatibility to ENDOMONDO. However, MOTO 360 doesn't integrate a GPS chipset. In the other hand, SONY SMARTWATCH 3 has a GPS chipset inside but the design isn't as well as the MOTO 360 for a similar price.
Which one can you advice me ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Go with the sony watch. The battery and lack of water proofing on the 360 makes it not suitable for your needs.

Tanks for your answer.
Moreover, can you confirm that I need to bring my phone everytime with moto 360 ?
Yes, you will need to have your phone along with you if you need gps tracking. The moto 360 have a compass and gyroscope but not gps built in.
Thanks for these details. I've just bought the Sony watch at a very good price. I have just to run now...
Curious why you were interested in those two and not something like Garmin devices?
Hi cliffr39,
I looked for Garmin or Pulsar but I found these devices expensive for my personal use. I preferred a smart watch that I can use either during my trainings and as a casual watch (I mean a gadget).
Moreover, I wanted a device easy and user friendly to follow my stats on my endomondo app.
Hi guys,
This message to let you know my smartwatch 3 does the job. I can run without my phone, it's pleasant. The GPS is also fine (5 min to find the good location).
Next step will be to get deezer on the smartwatch...
