i have hands free calling if i need it.
Do you mean you can place calls while driving through the watch? I was wondering how that would affect the hands-free system in my car.
This could be a deal breaker for me with smart watches. I use my hands free in my car a lot. Plays the audio through the radio, etc. If the watch takes over that function, I don't think it's smart enough to turn off the music (or more likely the podcast, I've got on a flashdrive in the console) during a call. If I had to unpair and repair the phone and car and watch several times a day, i'd get tired of it very fast.
No. I have a Citizen and I prefer battery free.
I don't think I'll be bothering at the moment. Main problems seem to be that each brand of smartwatch is proprietary to a particular brand of phone, like the Samsung smartwatch only works with certain Samsung phones etc.
The Pebble one looks the most interesting, because that's not proprietary, should work with any smartphone, plus I like the idea of the always on e-ink type screen, no need to be pressing any buttons to see it. Reminds me of the bad old days of 1970s LED watches. But I think the Pebble might be only available in the US.
same as a Galaxy Gear. disappointing, hoped it would go cheaper.
well for me and my gear 2 it helps make my life easier.Why do I need a smart watch at first place ?
Not interested. It's too big and goofy looking on the wrist.. almost as bad as the I-Glass. On top of this the price is out of my range of things to buy myself for a whole year.. lol jk jk
