I seen them rumours already but it a pain in the ass as there saying 24th august which is almost end of summer..There are rumours of the Gear S4 hitting for August but those are rumours thus far fyi.
I wear my watch on my left wrist. As said, never had your problem. The screen to me is great. I use watchmaker\Mylondon for watch faces
and they look great(so people have told me).
I have Google assistant activation on the top button. I've had most of the smart watches and I like the LG watch sport the best.
When the new watches come out I hope they have GPS\Sim card space\Android Pay\NFC ect.
That's because you've swapped the buttons around then. Either way, the crown shouldn't be activated by simple wrist movements like typing on a computer keyboard.
I bought the LG Watch Sport for everything you've listed, although I don't think it utilises most of those features as well as it could have.
GPS - Not very accurate, a 5K run on the exact same course can differ by over 200m at times. That's a big error rate and as I pointed out, there's no software for wear that provides features I would expect at this price point. Garmin watches offer said features at this price point and that's not forgivable considering this is marketed as a sports watch.
NFC - the watch is so slow it takes an unacceptable time to load Android Pay. I find myself having to load it as the person before me is finishing being served, otherwise I look like a right burke trying to pay with my watch when I could get my contactless debitcard out quicker.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've tapped something on the UI, only for the spinning blue circle to come up for so long that the watch goes back to sleep.
It might be the best smart watch you've had but that's not exactly an accolade. Everything has been running on old silicon, made on an old manufacturing process. No wonder WearOS is struggling when it's flagship product (designed in partnership with Google too) is this bad. I think I paid £280 end of August last year as it wasn't officially available in the UK and I can't say it was money well spent.
Thanks ahar, I read a couple of reviews about it being slow sometimes, shame because that looked the nicer watch.
haven't really used it much but the principle is the same as google pay, just check that the banks you use support it.I liked the idea of the more "open" aspect of wear OS then tizan but I dont really know.
Does samsung pay work as well as Google Pay? I do like the rotating bezel of the samsungs though.
Im looking at picking up my first smart watch at the moment and wanted a bit of advice. Im looking ~£200 maximum and think im set on Wear OS as I have a oneplus 3 phone.
Main things im looking for is notifications from all my apps and the health and fitness side, such as step counter and heart rate monitor would be handy too. NFC for google pay and GPS. I don't have the biggest wrists so not too big.
After much reading up online in a bit torn between the Ticwatch pro and the Huawei watch 2 what do you think? I want it to look like "normal watch" so nothing like a fitbit please.
Thanks guys, I had ruled out Samsung but something in the back of my mind was telling me it looks more refined and a slightly better experience. I don't want loads of apps on it to be honest just a bit of fitness, ability to pay and notifications I might out Samsung back in the running.
I think you will have to use Samsung pay.
I had a S3 and the OS was great. But the apps for it are crap. That's why I got a LG watch sport.
Thats what im worried about that I find it limited in terms of apps but I dont want loads. Wonder if its worth picking up a S2?
The Samsung S4 / Galaxy watch is due to be announced on 09/08 so might be woth holding out as the S3 will drop in price
