Anyone else as excited as I am for this watch to come out? It is expected any day now.

Nope. Never heard of it, and now that I've seen it, looks HUGE, like largest watch ever. Not interested in a massive watch.

I'm guessing it does all sorts of useless stuff, like phones do now. If it's anything like that, also means it'll be crap as a watch, because all my smart phones were crap as.....phones.

... Or does it do a bunch of cool stuff, like my phone does now?

Either way, I'm willing to give this one a shot.

Love that you can change the watch face to whatever you want, and have notifications come to your wrist, instead of pulling your phone out of your pocket.

A friend of mine has a watch very similar to this. I think he paid around $250 for it about 5 months ago. I've always thought they were neat but felt the novelty would wear off for me.

its the same size as a male watch.

it has a mic so you can google voice search. it displays weather and navigation. (ever need navigation while riding a bike or walking in the city but cant hold your phone?)

it does not have a speaker so you can not hold a phone conversation.

it is literally a smart WATCH. not a bluetooth phone device that looks like a watch ;)

I never really understood the smartwatch fad. Are people really so lazy that they don't want to pull out their phone from their pocket? I've still never come across a voice recognition system that works well for me, I can't imagine any of the smartwatches being any different.

i primarily want it so that I can put this watch face on it

:suspect:


and, I walk in NYC a lot, and my phone is the size of a tablet. Easier to look at my wrist for what street to turn down then to hold a brick the entire day and have the potential threat of it getting stolen.

[B-Man]

Begs the question, why is your phone the size of a tablet?

[Keyan]

because i like being able to see what is on the screen without a microscope ;)

plus, i play games on it.

[B-Man]

So, assuming this is priced near other smartwatches, you're going to spend $200 on this instead of having a smaller phone and a separate tablet?

[Keyan]

You ask that in such as way as if you are implying that a small phone and a tablet is a better choice.........?

[B-Man]

It is for probably 98% of the population.

Come on, how can you not love this? Also has leather band options.

I don't even own a watch...

So, to solve this, you want a watch with an even smaller screen?

Listing on Best Buy for $250 (not for sale yet). Looks like around Sept 4th/5th it may be available for sale.

[NickS VR4]

Well today was the day. Sold out online almost immediately. Got my order in. A lot of disappointed people expecting to purchase at Best Buy in person.

[NickS VR4]

And it finally arrived. Love the feel and quality. Have to wear it a bit to know how much I like it though. Aesthetically though, miles ahead of the Apple iWatch Watch.
