Hi,
I love this watch, build quality, specs etc. But is it worth buying it today almost 2 years after its release date? A new one cost a little bi more than $200.
I know google stopped supporting and Oreo isnt comming, how big of deal is that? If so, is it likeley that a ROM will come?
Yes it's worth buying even after two years,I would happily buy it again

Thanks! Do you guys think someone will develop a ROM with OREO for it?
How are the batteries holding up after 2 years?

No. Android Wear is not open source which is why you don't see Lineage OS or anything like that on any watches. The only hope for oreo on this device is if someone can get the HW 2 firmware working on the HW once its oreo update is pushed. It's a long shot but not unprecedented since someone got the Android Wear 2.0 (nougat) firmware from the Lg G watch R working on the regular G watch. I think those watches were much more similar hardware wise though than the HW is to the HW 2.

Still have or 40% left when I put it on the charger at night. I have not really noticed any reduction in battery time.
I bought mine last week as a replacement (finally!) of my Samsung gear 2 neo. I absolutely love this watch. I have had a lot of compliments on how it looks, and when I took it to a jeweler to get a couple of the links taken out the shop owner said he was really impressed and had me e-mail him a link to get one for himself. I will have to get another band before I run with it though.
I bought this watch three days ago and could not be more pleased. Very good construction quality, excellent materials, very well designed because it is not sporty or very formal. I knew I would not receive more updates from Goggle, but I still did not hesitate to buy. At the moment I am very satisfied. The watch does everything I was looking for in this type of equipment.
Only complaint is screen burn-in as I have it on all the time. Otherwise still looks good, and I still get compliments.

I haven't had burn in issues. To answer the OP's question, this is probably the best Android Wear watch you can get in terms of features and yes it's still worth buying. The newer watches are good (zen watch 3, Huawei watch 2... etc) but some lack some feature than the Huawei Watch 1 has.
This is the most 'watch like' smart watch you can get - it has all the features you need and looks good. I am always getting asked about it... no one believes it;s an 'old' model!
I just bought mine locally. I got a good price and was blown away when the guy I bought it from opened the box and I saw how beautiful it was. I have a gear s3, but needed something to where when I'm dressed up and this watch fits the bill. Battery life is better than my Gear S3 by far. I don't care about upgrading to Oreo. The watch does everything that I need it to do and looks great to boot.
Totally worth it. My first one broke in March. Decided to get the s3 frontier to replace the Huawei. But it just wasn't the same. I still needed a classy non bulky watch when I dress up. So bought I replacement huawei around December of last year. Got it used and I'm so glad to have this watch again. Very classy looking. I've always received compliments then and I still do now. S3 not once did I get any compliments on it and in my opinion it is too bulky for long sleeve and jackets.

I'm about to buy an LG G3 for 350 euros. (16 Gb, black)
I don't want to buy another mobile phone within at least 2-3 years as I'm starting high studies and I won't have much to spend then, but I really need a mobile that can handle everything and can last a lot.
Do you think it's worth it or is there another mobile coming soon that's better? Is it going to be supported by the community for a long time?

One can always wait for the next great product.
If you like the features then get the phone. It has gotten good reviews and has a good reputation here.
Go for it. This phone should last you the amount of time you want it to without it feeling outdated by the 1 year mark. Hard to say what will be our in 3 years but I plan to keep mine for to better part of 3 years.
I'd wait and see if there's gonna be a new nexus phone with L or go for the N5. This phone lags sometimes, has pretty low development activity (yeah, I know the reason, no complaint but a fact). After my nexus 4, I should've gone with the N5. The G3 is an okay phone in my opinion and looks sexy but the wow factor is missing for me...
The phone is great ..... but its really what you want your phone for and whether it fits those particular needs, I'm afraid there is no absolute answer, its about your needs and whether this phone fits them or another is more suitable.
I would advise research and checking it out and the competition, sorry no easy answers.

I'll try to tell you my history, from a person that doesn't change their phone every 3 months, or.. in a better way, a xda-user exception.
Got the Gnexus almost on the end of its lifespan (4 months before Nexus 4 release). It lasted 2 years when I gladly changed it to LG G3.
I saw a lot of reviews to after choose LG G3. What you will see outside is questions about the battery life due to the "unnecessary" QuadHD display.
Having a Gnex for 2 years is undoubtedly a nice school for battery life and screen on time use...
I really don't care about that after having that phone for 2 years.. and in every aspect besides battery life, LG G3 wins (for me).
So, tl:dr, buy it without doubt, grab a spare battery if you care so much. The design and the display of LG G3 destroy every other phone released till today.

Well, yeah, if you can't wait, go into a shop and try it, play around with it and decide how it feels for you. At end it's gonna be u using it I'm not happy with it but I'm okay with it personally. Only reason I got it is that I broke my nexus 4 and got a good deal on it from my SP. Otherwise I was thinking about ordering a nexus 5. Had it in my hand, used it before, I just simply love nexus phones for aosp android, quick updates knowing Google is behind it and if they screw something up in the software they will be quick to release a fix while manufacturers won't be, and to be honest they make shifty UI except Sony imo but I had 2 Xperia phones, both were flagship devices and both sucked.
But as said before, it's your own personal preference. Try it in a shop and you'll see it for yourself. It looks really sexy with the huge display with the tiny bezels and reminds me of the nexus 5 a bit as well. Though I miss my aosp android experience and the quick updates. I however appreciate for instance the IR control and the camera.

The Note 3 was announced early last September and released at the end. Samsung staff have been told there's going to be no annual leave around the middle of Septemeber, the correlates to what happens around their releases. There's no way they'd wait over a month from when they announce to being on sale.
The G3 struggles with the 801 powering it. Check out the videos of a comparison of the G3 805 Vs G3 801. Check out the articles on Samsung's new QHD screen technology also,it uses less power. There may be other better phones out later this year or next but it would be mad to buy an 801 QHD phone when the other major companies are about to release their 805 versions.

Just out of interest, would that be a grey import? The cheapest I can find in UK which is probably imported from EU is £390 which is about 480 Euros. Or is it second hand? Makes more sense if it is the latter.

It depends if you mean the US or Europe. Based on this video taken by CNET France, it looks like it's set for early to mid December, but the video said nothing about differing prices overseas, so based on the fact that most watches are being globally released at the same time, it's safe to assume that the date in the video is for both regions.
Also, the video lists the complete specifications which were on display. (Link to specific time here).
Apparently it has a 369 mAh battery. Not the top of the line, but not nearly the lowest, either. considering it has an AMOLED display, the battery life will be severely determined by how much of the screen is covered with completely black pixels. A proper watch face theme to compliment this will greatly increase battery life, as AMOLED means that all black pixels are actually not being powered. The results in the dark are also quite stunningly delicious to look at, by the way. (I own a Moto X that has a AMOLED display. The max hours I've had it running with a set of 400+ apps installed (including system) was 41 hours.
This, of course, took a bit of tweaking with some root apps... but considering the smartwatches don't have much running on them and the feature set on them are dependent on what apps are installed on your phone, rooting will most likely never be necessary for them.
I was speaking in terms of North American release date. Being that I'm in Canada, I'll probably get screwed on the launch date here, usually happens that way.
I heard for release date was to try before Christmas. As they have said try may end up being 2015. Hope it soon this is the one watch I'm looking forward to

I have a Pebble currently, and it's really nice, love the 5-7 day battery life on it. But I want something a little classier, and for a little more than the Pebble Steel I can get this watch.
I think it's really stupid that Samsung and Apple released watches that only work with their phones. Completely cuts off a lot of potential users. Glad Asus didn't do that.
Can be Pre-ordered now...

I find this highly unlikely. Why would they do a large public unveiling, only to make 300 devices?

I spent 3 1/2 hours today driving and calling one Best Buy after another before someone actually was helpful enough to look into it more deeply and tell me that not only did they not have it, they never received any and in fact, no Best Buy store in Southern California had received or sold any.
Went to T-Mobile and bought the Samsung Gear S.
I went to 3 different best buys. nobody had it. i went and bought a casio g-shock instead.
Good job Asus

Hey all
Along with many other manufacturers, Asus has thrown its latest smartwatch into the wild. On the face of it the device looks sleek, with a leather strap rather than the plastic ones we're seeing with a lot of other smartwatches. Its expected to be around the 200 Euro mark, and although not as fully featured as devices such as the Samsung Gear S, the price point seems about right for the feature set and specifications. Has Asus done enough to tempt anybody?
I've had an LG for about 2 months.. yeah i think i'll sell it and go the zenwatch
I was going to but I got impatient and I went with the G Watch. so far I am very pleased with it.
Really liked this watch in pics but they were taking too long. So I got a 360.

I'm really struggling with myself not to get a LG G Watch or Moto 360 - How the struggle ends, depends on when Asus start shipping. I've preordered the Zenwatch at expansys, but the news that there'll be only 300 released in the first batch has dampened my high hopes....

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for too. A batch of 300 just wouldn't make sense. Unless they are completely hand crafted, making 300 or 300.000 should really make no difference, once you can assemble a single one. For my peace of mind, I'll stick to the theory that 300 units is bull poo.
Ive preordered one but disappointed about the only 300 rumour and not likely in volume before 2015. Come on asus, get them out there...

Unless there's a shortage of components. Seeing as most of these watches appear to have the same innards that could be an issue?
300 does seem to be deliberately contrary though! Might cancel my pre-order and get the new Microsoft watch instead, just to spite any manufaturers trying to play the market.
No updates though?

Oh - I just jizzed in my pants! Looks legit: http://shop.asus.co.jp/teaser/
This will be the first product I buy new in many, many years. For a long time now, I've always bought second-hand. But I want this watch so much I will be buying it as soon as it becomes available. Originally, I thought I would be buying the Apple Watch, but once again the greedy ****s have priced their product beyond reasonable. That, and I don't have an iPhone anymore (no big loss).
I actually have a Moto 360 on the way because I got tired of waiting. As soon as I can get my hands on the ZenWatch, I'll sell the 360.
I'd actually wait in a line to buy this watch.
I think I'm gonna pick this watch up along with a gear s when ever that is released
Looks like it's being released today in Japan. Anybody know if the Zen can make voice calls?
More like "late November" as far as i can tell.

Yeah, well the 300 number was right, for the price anyway:
"ASUS is October 28, has announced it will launch Android Wear equipped with smart watch "ASUS ZenWatch" the (WI500Q-BR04) in late November. Assumed actual sales price 29,800 yen (tax not included)."

I'm wanting to get a bigger Android tablet, and while the Nexus 9 exists, I just hear horror stories about it. That said, the Pixel C seems very hard to find and pretty expensive, so is it still worth getting, and if so, where in Canada can I find one (used is fine) for a decent price?
I really like my Pixel C. But is it worth it at current prices? I'd say no, not by a long shot. It's two years old. You can get a Galaxy Tab S2 or S3 for much less. You can get a giant Windows tablet and install Android.
In fact, if people are actually paying $500-600 for these things then maybe I should sell mine.
Yeah, the only Pixel C's I see on Kijiji around me are $500-600 CAD, Nexus 9's go for around half that
I have had mine for less than a month and I am already looking for a replacement. I dont like it.

Personally, I'd wait until the pixel/xl launch in case of any surprise announcements. If they say nothing, I'd be worried for the future of android tablets.
I'm kind of hoping for something to come of the chrome OS/Andromeda/fuchsia OS rumours in tablet form.
Well I ended up getting it, love it so far!
It was just so heavy vs my Samsung. If I drop this on my dog he will die ..lol
I was about to start a thread asking pretty much the same thing. I'm soooo done with other companies skins and such, and I want stock Android on all my devices. Soooo, I was looking at the pixel c, but it IS 2 years old, and the cheapest I can find it is the google store where it's $600... I would def get it if it were $300. But, like you all said, there are no tablets that are worth a crap! I really hesitate to buy another Samsung, because my note 10.1 2014 battery went to crap barely AFTER the warranty expired of course... So, I've had the $550 tab for 3 years with a battery that makes it so I can't hardly do anything on it. Games, even Chrome are out (I can literally watch the battery drain). The new pixel chromebook starts at $1000, so that's out too. Not sure what to do here! Does anyone know how long the pixel c will get Android updates for? I suppose that might sell me or turn me away.

I love it, too.
So, I contacted Google support to ask about OS/security updates. Looks like Oreo is the last OS update this tab will get. Security updates will continue for 18 months AFTER they finally remove the tablet from the Google store. Sooo, considering that, I just don't think I can bring myself to spend $600 on a two year old tablet that will not get anymore Android updates... Honestly, at two years old, this tablet is in no way worth $600! I would think the price should be more like $300 or so by now. Not sure why Google thinks they should charge that... Anyway, thanks anyway. I think I'm out on this one.

I'm still a fan here too, got one (64GB) off Swappa for just under $400 I think that is fair. But IMHO I agree $600 is quite a bit much, $400-ish is fair.
It is still a very nice device, and has stock google android, try that on a Samsung or ASUS, not gonna happen. Good luck even getting to 7.12 on those.
You can buy it on eBay. There is a pixel c selling with keyboard and case fore $380 right now. Buy it
I'd say yes! I got mine for $360 on eBay in December. I got a really nice case for only $15. Especially now that we have a RR ROM for Oreo, it totally rocks!
I just picked a 64G one w/ keyboard up 2nd hand off of ebay for a little less than $500. Probably still too much to pay, but I didn't want to go Samsung, so what are you gonna do? Worlds better than my aging nexus 9. Worth it in my opinion.
Simply.wihld liek to know if the Razer from Three has any bloatware at all?
Any downsides from buying a Razer from Three guys?
Apart from a Three logo on boot no there's nothing
I can confirm that too. That's it! ?
I'm running the UK Three build and I've noticed no bloat ware from them at all. Three have their WiFi calling already enabled in the settings and the odd few texts about service and recommended apps it's very clean.
Thanks to you all ?

Nope you get the exact same as the unlocked version you have to buy the case and screen protector separately

Can't atm tried to get some from Orzly it went missing in the post and they informed me today they have non left and won't have any stock of them until the end of the week.
I bought some other ones of eBay earlier so have to wait and see if they arrive and good quality, I wouldn't personally pay the £25 razer want for a piece of glass.

Well what I was told today must have been a lie....That company always screens dodgy to me half the time I try to get on their offical site it redirects me to some **** or doesn't work.
The phone is great although I have a problem with build quality on mine (speaker grill is coming away from the phone) and the vibration motor trust me you'll want to shut it off but apart from that it's good. If you're looking for a phone with amazing speakers look no further if you don't care about the speakers look eslewhere i'd say.

Yea ive heard about the vibration motor issue. I tend notnto use vibration.
What about the speed and over all responsiveness. Is it as precedent as the reviews state. Where they say its the best most responsive Android theyve experienced to date.
Apoligise for my typos my current phone has UI issues beyond my control. Thanks again

Yeah it's responsive and fast just as smooth as the pixels if I'm honest so you'll have no issue there but the camera isn't great atm remember that with the choice too.

Yes I've heard camera.is straight poo.
But don't care
Just want a blistering experience otherwise
Still finding my ground with the phone and OS, I did go and buy the rugged case and razer screen protector but a grain of fluff got trapped during the apply stage to pulled it off in temper breaking the screen protector - they really arent for me.
The phone seems to be fine for general use, the camera isnt amazing but works, the battery is fantastic for on the go and have had no issues with battery life so far.
Performance on 4G and Wifi i havent seen an issue with so generally if i see no problem things are fine.
Generally Happy with the phone spec and performance however in the back of my mind i wish i went with a Google Pixel as I dont like all the issues with updates and have been too use to iOS kinda lifestyle - 1 update rolls out to all devices at once regardless of model and carrier.
Still an Android noob
Is coming with three app what is from play store and another app that I disable it . Don't know what this does . I am presuming for service like wuntu and three app .

Cool
Yes the android ecosystem is different to iOS due to multiple manufacturers of the hw.
Your right if you wanted the iOS type update facility then Pixel is the connoisseurs choice

@dillalade thanks for that hopefully Razer stick to the word on 2 years worth of updates and their regular enough. Fingers cross Three UK handle these updates in a timely manor too as so many company's involved in updating a OS these days Google > Razor > Three UK.
I really wish that it was more simple like iOS same things just apple dealt with the builds themselves and carriers didn't get the chance to adjust settings for their company services.
Just really like having the power and battery at hand for when its needed and I am not a heavy gamer I have hearthstone and apart from that Netflix and other google apps its pretty clean once i uninstalled the pre install apps from Three UK. Mind you i left the billing and data one as I handy on my old iPhone and actually a reasonable app.
