limpid Posted November 1, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted November 1, 2015 Inqgine having to go having to go to a Pebble store You're quite right. But I've never needed to. They make products which are fit for purpose.Pebble could instead charge an extortionate price to cover the fact that they'll need to replace their devices due to inherent faults and still get their customers trying to justify the unjustifiable. I guess you live near an Apple store?Like I said, clever buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) But I have never been to an Apple store (for other reasons) either? The only time was when my bag with Ipod in was knocked into a river and it wouldn't boot properly. I have never had to visit an Apple store because it's not fit for purpose. As for Pebble, it's a cracking watch but not quite what I need. Found this too Edited November 1, 2015 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 1, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted November 1, 2015 So you've found someone else who can do post purchase rationalisation. I'm not saying it's not waterproof, I'm saying Apple use it as an excuse when things go wrong.But man that's an ugly watch in that video. Nearly as ugly as a Pebble. And you have to wipe the screen before you can use it? And change the band before it gets wet? Wow.Clever buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm still yet to see a single thing on a smart watch that's made me think "I'd like one of those"[/pointless post] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm still yet to see a single thing on a smart watch that's made me think "I'd like one of those"[/pointless post]Yeah I actually get that, I know loads of people who can't see the fuss and would rather just have a regular watch and then manually check their phone.

Dodgyknees Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 @limpid, thought you might find it interesting. Two days use (less than an hour on charge) and I'm putting it on charge overnight at 34% we might disagree on things here, but as tech lovers I thought it might interest you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 6, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted November 6, 2015 I wonder why Apple claim that it is so much less? The 18 hours is from them. Perhaps the life falls off quickly to that point with use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the life falls off quickly to that point with use.I'm not sure why they would suggest that, still no issues so far - I will report back though.

Dodgyknees Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Still loving my Apple Watch. And the battery life isn't too bad at all, compared to suggestions. I can get 3+ out of it regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PongRiddims Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Samsung Gear s2 ordered, bit of an impulse buy I'm not gonna lie. First impressions, very good, so simple to use its unreal, love the interface and the jog wheel. Can't find away to make calls off it, it seems to only link to the phone but there are few occasions I would want to make a call where I can't use a phone anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted December 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2015 I do have to say that my Moto 360 is one of the best $0.99 (with free shipping) I've ever spent. (back in June AT&T were offering a 360 for $0.99 with free shipping if you got a Moto X (2014)... no contract beyond paying $22.80/month for the phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
