Might help someone as cheaper than Very or Currys. Nearly bought myself last week when it was £229 but don't like the bezel design as its's fixed. Still a feature packed watch for the price.

I bought one on prime day, but sent it back as soon as I opened it... just too small a screen, was expecting the overall watch size to be a bit bigger than my casio gshock! I couldn't justify spending just over £200 on it at the time... especially for something that probably would be more of a novelty than anything else.

Hows Android wear these days, any selling factors now? Had a Sony SW3 and Motorola Moto 360 but got very little use, battery was terrible, but I love the idea of them still.

I use android pay on the phone with a few of my cards already added there, with this watch can I use the already added cards from the phone or will I need to add the cards separately on the watch. If so, can you use android pay on both phone and watch using the same cards.

For a watch comfort is key.. hence I mentioned that first!
Anyway the advantages don't stop there.. much better Android compatibility.. Android Pay.. longer battery endurance.. better fitness capabilities especially found the sensors on the HW2 much more accurate.. durable all round!
Only positive for the Gear S3 would be the marginally larger screen and the rotating bezel input method although I didn't not miss it much on the HW2!
Try it you won't be disappointed! :smile:

Thanks for that, didn't mean to belittle the comfort issue. You've now complicated matters for me! :smiley:

Is comfort the only advantage over an s3? I was toying between the two and currently have an s3

Would choose this over the very expensive Porsche design version

For all those out there that are put off by the reviews, had my 4G one for several months now and the smaller screen is fab, like this better than the Gear S3, battery life is great even when using 4G so Bluetooth only should be even better, very good smartwatch and as prices are dropping even better.

Once you get used to look, it's actually a great watch

I agree it is entirely decent, but i still feel it's a little expensive for what it is.

I also concur.. once you try it on it definitely grows on you to the point where now I find it a handsome watch!
Perfect for gym as the material of build and large bezel become an advantage through all the sweating and accidental bumps!
My watch has had a lot of punishment and that ceramic bezel has been a a lifesaver... still not a scratch on it or the screen for that matter!
Those marketing picture do not do it any favours at all!
Also I have had a Gear S3 and this one is much more comfortable during a full day.

You really did get excited when it was £229

Haha :smile: Yes, It had all the features I was looking for but once I'd read a few reviews about the bezel, small screen and mainly plastic body I changed my mind. Only posted for anyone who might have been tempted by Very or Currys deals and would like to save £9!

Yeah, I had high hopes for this too, but it doesn't quite look right. Good offer though
