i am looking to buy a smartwatch and have really been looking at the I'm watch just wondering what everyone else's favorite smartwatch is, please use the poll and leave any comments etc thanks.
Sony Ericsson MBW-150/200. If you can find one and you're looking for something more upscale, try the MBW-150 Executive Edition. The LiveView is trash, don't bother with it. The Sony Ericsson watches are made by Fossil. It's what I use right now. Like ~$65-$70 on Amazon. I got it shipped to me the next day:

http://www.amazon.com/MBW-200-Bluet...ARQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321378438&sr=8-1
Works 100% with the OpenWatch app.

thanks and i took a look at these watches but i like the I'm watch mainly because it is running android and even has a notification bar, you can also develop apps for it which should allow you to change the clock faces as well with peoples creations.
My Liveview just has just broken today.. I'm really sad I think I'm going to buy once of them suggested by Product F(RED)...
Can I read the text of the incoming sms from the Fossil that you have linked?

Yes sir. Read text, it also displays battery, Gmail, etc. You can make ANY notification in the notification bar come up on the phone's display.

After three failed displays on three MBW-150s (two Executives and one Classic), I may try the MW-200. Someone on another thread said that the display on his MBW-200 hasn't faded (yet), while his MBW-150 did. Since the MBW-200 uses a different display, I wonder if Sony knew this all along, and that's why they came out with it?
FYI, when I called the local Fossil shop to see about the possibility of getting replacement displays for my MBW-150s, the tech said they DID NOT make the MBW series for Sony-Ericsson, another vendor did. He said they did make the MetaWatch, but as stated elsewhere, it doesn't work very well with OpenWatch.

After some searches, it seems that the MBW-200 is designed to be a woman's watch. Can someone compare the size of it to the MBW-150? I'm a big guy with large wrists, so I don't want a little sissy watch on my wrist.

In your opinion, is the WIMM worth $300?
I've been considering it, and am on the fence...
The "I'm Watch" is looking to be coming together beautifully, and if I were to buy a SmartWatch, that's what I would go with...

@IP IHI II IL that link you posted is fairly recent (nov 1st) and it mentions the watch having wifi when i have read on their site and other sites that it does not, is this true? and i believe only the WIMM watch has wifi. i'm watch has not started shipping so they do still have time to make some changes i believe.

Every review I have read says it will have wifi capabilities when it ships. I believe Android Central and Android Police both have pretty recent stories/reviews as well.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the original headset supplied with the Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
I want the identical, original one supplied in the box that has the mic, call answer button and encoder type volume control.
I tried contacting my local Samsung but so far had no success.
Thanks in advance

hey are you still wanting my headset? i have it brand new w/ the extra rubber pieces waiting.
seriously, just make me an offer and its yours. i don't care how much.
Derrick
Sorry, I didn't mean to waste your time. Turns out the original headset was available at my local Samsung so I bought one from there. I was misinformed when I first inquired that I would need to place a special order for them and it could take a couple of months because the phone was only just launched and there wouldn't be any spare sets for a long time. I checked a few mobile accessory stores for an equivalent set but no-one had any with the digital encoder type volume control which I'm told is proprietary. Could be wrong about that but most sets with a VC seem to be just a variable resistance.
I actually think these phones sound pretty good and I've tried dozens of them over the years so I think they are worth keeping. In case it's of interest Samsung charge $38/- for them here in Singapore.
Thanks for the helpful offer and please accept my apology again if I wasted your time.

(i just noticed tehy have a volume control...doubt they will sound as good as my marleys but thats fine with me )
The original headset has very weak bass output (at least mine do). Ended up picking these up in black and white (one for myself and one for the Mrs.) over the weekend

Note n7000 genuine samsung headset for 5 usd.
Hi,
I found a genuine samsung headset for Note n7000 for less than 5usd on dealextrame.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/genuin...for-i9100-i9220-i9000-black-3-5mm-plug-116372
It is very good sound like original. or even better than original white.

Have anybody tried Klipsch Image S5i headset with note?
I was initially intending to purchase Sony's Smartwatch, but am concerned by it's compatibility with the One X - does anyone here own both products?
Upon further research and am now thinking this may be a better alternative: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android/
What do you think?
I'm a backer.
Think that thing is going to be amazing...

I want this too, but there's no guarantee on the release date. Last time this company did a kickstarter it took them almost a year to produce and ship the device. More info on the on the phonedog website.
looks really cool

Tempted to get one of these
Let's wait
This one is VERY expensive!!!
I think I'm going to wait for the Pebble smartwatch as an ultimatum, and if something worthy comes out in the meantime, I'll get it.
The sony smartwatch DOES work just fine with the HTC One X, but it does not support email notification for HTC's email app as each vendor makes their own email app. I am sure at some point someone will come up with an HTC compatible notifier as it has an open API. Someone has written one for Gmail.

i use a motoactvhttps://motoactv.com/ this the best option if your the sporty type its the only one that has gps and it link up to hart rate,speed and step sensors as well as your phone. it also has 8 or 16 gig for music.
You guys havent come across this one yet ...
HAVE YOU

Hev you read the OP?
I know every technology needs it's first users... But isn't this a little soon for that type of things ?
My points are :
- My new One X with a quadcore, a camera,etc... will be thinner than my watch
- Having to reload it every night or so will be a pain
- It's ridiculously expensive
- What will it bring ? If you see you have a mail or a SMS, you'll check it on the large beautiful screen of your phone
(BUT, if they were less expesive, I'd definitively buy one of thoose )
Yep I ordered the Pebble, I know people with the Sony Smartwatch and the imWatch, which are ust too big and need frequent charging. The Pebble is most importantly a watch with other functions secondary.
I just bought the Sony ericsson LiveView watch.
What a crap! Don't buy.. Loosing connection intermitently..
Perhaps im not using SE phone, that's why..

LiveView's the old version? Do you mean the smart watch?
There are no intermittent connection issues with the Smartwatch. The original Live View watch DID have lots of connection problems even with Sony Ericsson phones!
just put an order in for the sony smart watch
stay away from Sony Liveview. Tons of problems...
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:
So I have a Galaxy Watch 3 paired with my Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. But I wanted to buy some paid apps, that are not available in the galaxy store from the wearable app, as my phone ain't a galaxy. I wanted to know if there is anyway to bypass this.
Also, my father has a Galaxy phone. I thought about using his phone with the same samsung account, to but the apps I need for the watch and later download them. But I can't buy anything, because it says that there is no watch connected to the phone. So, if there is a way to emulate a watch connected to the phone, it would also helps, as I don't want to have to pair the Watch with different phones every time I want to buy an app.
Thanks in advance
What? All you need is a Samsung account and you login through the Galaxy Wear app. Then purchase and install. That's what I did, I haven't had a Samsung phone in ages.
Seriously? Because I have the same problems as these guys: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tore-app-for-non-samsung-smartphones.4082451/ /
