It's out already out and Ticwatch should be the first to use the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ or the Wear 4100.
Waiting for reviews before I get one.

May wait then until this is out.
I get I may have to charge every few days but dont want to every night. This looks good.
Yeah I got 30% off too so cracking watch for the price. Topcashback seem to be doing 24% back at the moment so not far off.
I only really got it for notifications at work and does the job well.

If the Sense/Versa 3 get some Wear OS/Google Assistant elements added then I think that would be my Android smartwatch.

Same for me. Been using the original Versa for 3 years now and love it. So comfy and light you hardly know you have it on. It's also great paying for smaller stuff. Had to set up a Starling account to use it but I think I may switch my Barclays to starling anyway.
My first Versa developed a faulty battery and would not hold charge and Fitbit replaced it next day after a few emails so I already like their support.
Anyone know how to get the baked in email shortcut to work on the Watch face for Galaxy Watch 3?
1) Click email icon
2) Up pops "Install email? - - > yes
3) "The app is no longer available, or isn't supported in this country, or device"
Tried a few watch faces but all link back to this issue. Not even sure what the watch is trying to install but already had Outlook & Samsung Mail setup on phone.

Just got the new Watch3 but after updating the watch, the wearable app on the phone no longer opens with the watch3 plugin constantly crashing when I try opening the app. Restarting the phone and watch does nothing. Anyone else getting this issue? I'm going to reset the watch and reinstall the phone apps to see if that fixes it.
EDIT: Resetting did not fix it. Looking at the latest reviews of the watch3 plugin, it seems to be a common issue with Android 10 based phones.

Just ordered my wife a Fossil Gen 5 in rose gold (https://www.fossil.com/en-gb/produc...-rose-gold-tone-stainless-steel-/FTW6035.html).
She was looking at the Active2 but decided that wearOS would work better with her Pixel 2 XL. Will report back how she gets on.

I found the fix. I was looking at Play store reviews and noticed someone said Samsung's own Smartthings app is the cause. Uninstalled that, reinstalled the Wearable app and is now working.
EDIT: As of the Watch 3 plugin update on the 26th August, the app now works again with Smartthings installed.

I also have a Fossil Smart watch coming shortlh. I got a Gen 4 Sport one in black. Got it for a pretty good price of £70. Hopefully it will be a good match with my Pixel. Just only need it for notifications.
In liking the sound of the new fitbit sense. I'll likely upgrade from my fitbit ionic.

Has anyone with the Galaxy Watch 3 been for a run with it yet? I've been on two and on the second run, the watch only recorded advanced running metrics (asymmetry, contact time, regularity etc) for about 7 minutes of the 25 minute run. It was fine on the first run.

And me but £300

I'm thinking same. Wife has an apple 5, but hasn't really used it being stuck at home. I keep saying I am going to get one, but she keeps telling me I won't use it, or I don't need it. I'm also asking myself what I need one for?
I have several mechanical watches which I always wear if I go out, just to tell the time.
