Watch review - Samsung Galaxy Watch

i need to know what is the pros and cons about it please
thank you.

Don't buy it if you want to use the watch as a fitness tracker. I bought it bc I wanted a new watch and read incoming WhatsApp notes. But in mine opinion all the fitniss trackers are a rough indication. Read/watch review about the watch. Your question is not specific so can't awnser in a good way. If you want the best fitting smart watch, best to do the searching yourself instead of being spoon-fed

New to the forum, got a few questions for the experts

Hello everyone. My name's Pat, and I have been using this website quite frequently ever since I got my used TILT. I really appreciate all the effort that you users put in to help everyone, its very helpful to find these kind of forums. I have a vehicle that has over 185,000 miles on it because of a forum, so again, thanks for any help I receive from you all.
I have been somewhat happy with the TILT I bought used from a friends friend, but it has definitely been abused before I got it. The whole phone is failing day by day.
Because of this forum, I have decided that I am going to purchase the TILT 2, looks like an awesome phone. I work in the automotive business with a lot of mechanical work, car washing, etc., and I want to protect my phone as best as possible. I am sure you guys would know whats best.
So here is what I was thinking, PLEASE feel free to bash or advise:
Smart phone experts screen protector: 12 bucks or so, seems like good quality
The Otter box crush proof 2500 medium waterproof case....could be very useful for me in certain situations...let me know what you guys think
IF possible, id like to also get the Otter box commuter hard case...not to sure if this would fit in the crush proof case they also sell.
Not sure if it is necessary, but i would also get that protective film from smart phone experts if its worth a crap.
Pocket pouch for out-of-work applications.
Now again, I work in a dirty, rough environment, I am going to protect this phone with however much $ necessary... Tips, suggestions, please let me know.
Also, I noticed there is a wireless "controller" for the phone that has a remote and wireless bluetooth...headset i guess you would call it. Blue vision is the mfg. The only reason I would use this, is so i could pick up important phone calls while working and not have to even touch my TILT 2. My argument is, if I have a 5minute pass lock on my phone, how the hell would I ever be able to use this remote control if i cant see my screen?
Again, thank you everybody for your time.

If you want me to review other cases, just click on one of the adverts in the you tube video (it's free), after that just close the tab that would have just opened, just that simple thing will allow me to get more cases to review for you.

Just so you know, that's a violation of the youtube agreement. Nice videos though.

[Q] Questions about Moto 360 watch

So AT&T has a promotion right now, if I get the Nexus 6, I can get $100 off of this watch. I have wanted a smart watch for a while, but was leaning more towards the Samsung series (smaller version sorry don't remember the exact name lol). However to be able to get this watch with more features for the same price, I may be getting it instead. That being said I have a few questions.
I am currently a fitbit wearer, I have the cheapest version without a watch etc. I love my fitbit because it tracks my steps and I am able to plug in my workout info into the Android app on my S5. Does this watch come with a pedometer? I saw a thread about an app called "cinch" that can be used with the watch to track heart rate etc. That seems cool too. Just wondering if there's anything built in like the Samsung watches have.
What band do you suggest? I am a female with very tiny wrists and hands. My fitbit is the smaller band set on the second to smallest setting. I tried on the black leather band on display at AT&T last week, and it seemed to fit OK.
How is everyone's overall experience with the watch? Does rooting open up a lot of other features like it does with the phones?
Also how well does the watch sync with your phone?
I just figured I'd put some questions out there, it seems like the reps at AT&T are hit or miss... some know a lot of info on stuff and others are clueless. Plus they want a sale...

The 360 has a built in pedometer and optical heart rate sensor. I'm running it with a Galaxy S5 and carry a fitbit zip so to be honest, I have the 360 set to not provide me info from its built in sensors. Between the fitbit which I have synced to my MyFitnessPal app, my phone's pedometer, and the 360's, I got tired of seeing 3 different step counts so I decided to use the fitbit as my primary step counter and don't use the others but they're there on the 360.
I wear my watch pretty much every day but for times I'm planning to do physical activity - exercise, yard work, helping a friend move, etc. I usually fall back to a Casio sport watch. I love the 360 - still pretty novel and allows me to keep my phone in my pocket most of the day at work but I'm still too afraid I might break it if I put it through the rigors I put my traditional watches through. There's a long thread in the forum dealing specifically with aftermarket watch bands. It seems like a few more options are popping up for men - I don't know about women's sizes.
My phone is usually rooted but I haven't jumped into it on the 360. Anything that requires device disassembly to root is usually past my threshold for that kind of thing. Doesn't look like there's been a lot of dev just yet anyway.
Watch syncs seamlessly with my GS5. No problems to speak of. I often walk away from my phone and I have "Find My Phone" installed which gives me a notification when I leave it behind. Coming back into range, it re-pairs itself almost instantly. A few glitches have shown up for folks after OTA updates that might require you to have to re-sync. For me, since picking up the watch in December, we're talking about having to do that once - after my GS5 took Lollipop.
All in all regarding style, it's my daily "office and out" watch of choice. Regarding functionality, it's more novel than functional - at least for me. Regarding durability, I haven't really pushed it - it is after all a $250 watch. I would absolutely buy one again.
Hope this helps.
Thank you it does. I did a quick search on Amazon for bands and see some out there that are more feminine, but they do look cheaply made. Not sure I want to pair a cheap band with a $250 watch LOL. I might just get the black leather for now, and if something else comes along that I like (i.e. green!) I'll purchase it down the road. I'm looking to replace the fitbit with the watch (I wonder if they'll take it in on trade LOL) I work in an office so I'm not concerned with damaging it.

Dodocase makes a leather band specifically for the moto 360. Comes in several colors. I believe green is one of the colors. They are expensive but the leather looks nice. Just search Google for them. I believe moto may even have them on their website.

The green one is very nice I could only find it on moto's site, dodcase's website only had cell phone & tablet cases. They also have a thinner metal band that looks more feminine on their site available if you order the watch directly through them. IDK if it'll be available at the AT&T store though. Guess I'll find out tomorrow or Sunday when I go in! Thank you for all your help!!
Best Buy also has the slim metal bands but that doesn't really help you with the At&T promotion unless they will match it.

Should I get a Moto 360 1st Gen?

Hello,
I've seen some reviews but those were when the watch costed 250$ and that was a long time ago. I'm not 100% sold on the smartwatch idea. Could you guys convince me to buy this watch, give me the pros and the cons... The price I have for this watch, refurbished, is around 85$ + 29$ shipping.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Sincerely yours,
Isac
You should pay a bit more and get the 2nd generation. This one is not going to get the update out later this year.
Although I'm happy with mine, battery lasts all day and I like notifications, controlling music and like secure Bluetooth feature to unlock phone.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I wouldn't buy it. No more updates is already confirmed. The other watches on the market aren't as good. The 2nd gen and sport from motorola are not as good looking but are better. However, Motorola is basically lenovo now and the guy who made some of their best designs (moto x, 1st moto 360) just quit so their quality will go down. If I were you I'd wait for the upcoming watches. The urbane LTE is awesome and far and away the best watch on the market but is godawful ugly. I'd wait for someone to build a watch with a sim card like that so it can replace your phone when needed but look better than that.
I'm really happy with mine, picked it up for £100 (stainless steel version), the battery life isn't brilliant but I pop it on the charger every night anyway. Mainly used for notifications, HRT monitor, and Endomondo.

I paid just under £80 for mine with the leather strap (didn't fancy the metal strap catching hairs on my wrist or the look). I've got a pebble and thought it'd be handy having them both, with this one for good wear and the pebble for not so good wear. The battery lasts about 16 hours before it drops to 20%, which was a bit of shock after several days with the pebble, to the extent where I thought of returning it but I'm ok with it now. Given what I paid for it, I'm not bothered about the 2nd gen and what it might have, as the gen 1 still looks great and does everything I need it to - such as give me the time, date, weather, notifications, heart rate, play music, along with things I've yet to find out about... I should imagine. Not overly impressed by the colour screen, as its not any clearer than the pebble, but will serve its purpose where the pebble may not look quite right. So, in conclusion, I'd say get it.

who has the watch?

Like the title says, has anyone even preorded and received this watch?
I picked the only one I could find in a Florida bby today, haven’t opened it yet.

Let me know what you think of it when you get a chance
So far I love the style. Will check battery life today.
Just got mine. I don't understand all the haters. I actually really like this one. Of course no nfc, heart rate or speaker but I never used a watch for them anyways

The watch is 2 yrs old, and officially discontinued.
I have had this watch since its release, and I really like this watch, still use it, though not as my main watch for one reason I will mention below later. I mainly wear it when am going to events as my other watch is just too casual-looking. I have tried a few different bands with it and it looks great with all of them. Now on to the issues with the watch:
- No heart-rate sensor. Might be a bummer if you want to use it for fitness-tracking.
- No updates anymore, since it's discontinued. Last major OS version update was to Android Oreo.
- BIGGEST PROBLEM: Battery life is extremely short when it is fully on, I am only able to squeeze out just under a day with a single charge. I don't even have any extra apps on it which could be blamed. I do have the always on display enabled all the time though. There is a mode where the 'smart' watch is off, just the analog hands are working, and in that mode it can run for months on a single charge, but that defeats the purpose of a smartwatch for many. Now this is the reason I don't use it as my main watch. My other Huawei watch, much more loaded with apps and with a heart-rate sensor is able to survive 2 days on full charge.
- Analog hands might annoy some people, as it does get in the way when viewing a lot of notifications. I don't use it as my main watch so I am not bothered with it.
EDIT:
- Oh, and also, it does not have NFC, so no touchless payment in the era when we need it the most.
