Gear Live simply not doing well here is it?

My Gear Live watch works so well there is no need to post anything.
Two exceptions... the vibration is kind of weak. I wish it was longer and a bit harder. Like it is when you swipe down to "unmute" it. The other, is Samsung refuses to sell their bands separate. I'd like to get that wine red band, but it is only sold with the whole watch. :mad:

Yeah, lol, I see the Moto gets the higher post count. I just got the Gear Live a few days ago and I love this thing! One of the reasons I got it was I like the band better-less fussy for me, plus I prefer the square dial over round for display. Well--anyhow, I really like my Gear Live. Sure--I wish it had better battery life, but oh well-I just put it on the charger at night and then it's good for the next day. It has already been a help to me. During my work day, I miss texts and phone calls sometimes since obviously I'm not staring at my phone all day, and now I catch them so I'm not hours late getting back to people. Plus, I don't always hear my phone in the car with the radio and now I know when I'm getting calls and I can dictate a text message back to the person calling. So the function of this watch is great.

I love mine. It's running 6.0.1 and does more than I can ask from it. Connected to my S4 (S975L) on 4.3. No issues. O food flash mine so I could get the latest and greatest updates.

If you see SPRAT in your kernel, that's a retail version. They cut back all OTA's and severely withheld that watch. I had it. The flashing fixed everything.
