Hi ALL,
Just ordered my watch from Amazon. There were some internet articles about the price being lowered to $120 at Google Play(GP) and a little higher at Amazon(A) and Best Buy(BB). Unfortunately GP is now at $199 as is BB but A was at $149. So I bit the bullet and ordered it.
I initially bought one of those cheapie Chinese "Smart Watches" for $20 and they are just Blue Tooth interfaces to the phone so you can actually have a speaker phone conversation using the watch. There is an app that goes on the phone to send notifications to the watch but you cannot dismiss the notifications and the apps are VERY unstable.
But it did give me a taste of remotely accessing my phone so I did a lot of reading and was going to get the Sammy Gear Edge when I found the Zenwatch. For looks alone the Zenwatch blows away all of the competition. I always had a digital watch so I'm used to the square watch and actually don't like the round watches. I saw some reviews and pictures of the Zenwatch 2 but while its a little cheaper I did not like its styling and it was quite a bit thicker than the original. So I figured why not - its only money!! (And, no I'm NOT rich!!!)
I'll post my impressions once I get it.
