Can anyone recommend a nice metal strap for the G Watch R?
Do watch shops in Dublin sell just straps?

It looks really nice. Might have to pull the trigger on one in the new year

Right, I've decided to go for the LG G watch r instead of the Moto 360. Anyone know where the cheapest place to get one is

Mobilefun.ie has it right now for 261 euro might get it but waiting on carphone warehouse to stock gear s so I can c how stupid it's going to look on me so my wife won't divorce me...

I am seriously thinking about getting the original Gear. It can be sourced now for €125 which is half the price of either the Lg G watch r or the moto 360 and I reckon it will do what I want.

Almost cool enough to make me wish I still used the bus.

Has anyone ordered direct from Motorola UK site? It's asking for a UK delivery address which is fine but, it's also asking for a UK billing address which I don't have.

Yeah I've been keeping an eye an argos alright, they have the black strap option but I'm after the stone leather.

Got a Moto 360 as a christmas treat for myself, just picked it up this morning.

I was a little underwhelmed at first, but after playing around with it all morning and trying different faces out - I love it!

Facer app is great - plenty of brilliant options on there already and I've been playing around on Watchface Studio trying to make my own - but baffled about how to make custom hands. Anyone here using it?

Can anyone recommend a cheap wireless charging pad?

Do argos get the moto 360 back in stock regularly? There seem to be none in stock in the country and I have a one4all voucher burning a hole in my wallet......

Did you pull the trigger on this already? I've an unopened black LG G watch that I'm looking rid of (unwanted gift and I already have a moto 360).

Anyone know of anywhere selling the Samsung Gear Live? Google is out of stock on both of the watches on the play store. Wonder when they'll have more available.

Hi, I didn't purchase at all because I got a few blatant hints from herself that I'm getting a smartwatch for Christmas.
I'm praying it's the gear s.

My G Watch R is on the way finally.

I finally got my G Watch R yesterday. It's a great watch and not as big as I was expecting at all.
I'm still getting used to it and have only tried texting and replying to whatsapp messages but it all works. If I'm out driving later I might try the navigation.

Got my Moto 360 yesterday, love it so far. Was worried about battery life, had to charge it 3 times yesterday though I was messing at it quite a bit. Today however, 48% left after 13 hours!

IrishStuff09

Ordered the G Watch R on Amazon.es with express delivery for €253 total yesterday
(GWR was at €230 for a short time. Back to €249 now it seems)

Should have it by Tuesday hopefully

heebusjeebus

Ya I got mine on Amazon UK.
On the lookout for a metal band for it now.

Just a note about the G Watch R battery: I was tinkering with it all day yesterday from 8am and it ended up with 33pc battery by the time I put it on the charger at 1am this morning.
I'd expect to get more from the battery as I get used to it.

I have the G Watch R about a month now. Think it's great. The battery life has got worse since the latest update tho. Only lasts a day now at the most.

i got a 360 for the pudding and the battery is average and needs to be charged once a day for sure, also if your connectivity to the phone is bad ie signal dont expect alerts on the watch overall im not sure im impressed.......well suppose i need "time" to adjust could say that was a pun lol have to watch what i say...there i go again:)

I got one for Christmas and I love it

Wandering about sending texts talking to my wrist haha

Now that part couldn't be more frustrating tbh... Works when it feels like it, no matter how far or close it is to the phone

Turned off ambient light ?

moggser

Have discovered that if the watch ain't tight enough on the tilt tobwake won't work,still haven't figured why it decideds not to alert ya to notifications

baldshin

Yeah I've turned off ambient since day one, though might try a day with it on to see how long it lasts.
I've also turned tilt to wake off as I found it was constantly turning itself on when I moved my arm at all.
Averaging about 3-4% battery for every hour its on. I find it disconnects when I'm more than about 20 metres from the phone(I work in a cinema so constantly moving around a big building). All in all still quite happy. I do wish voice commands worked when not connected to data/wifi, as this would be handy for setting alarms/timers etc. I've installed the mini wear launcher which is good for setting things manually.
Watch seems to be all over the place regarding counting steps, and rarely picks up my heart rate.

Moto 360 or LG G Watch R?

I think both have an equal number of pros and cons. I went with the Moto based on the fact I think it looks the more stylish of the 2.

kingbob387

Yeah I might go for Moto, any recommendation for a metal band?

baldshin

Stick with the official one for now, can be got from Amazon in the US I think. Some people have reported that the pebble steel band fits, but can crack the back of the watch after a few weeks.

I'm sure though eBay and the likes will be flooded with 3rd party straps in time.

moggser

OK is anyone else having a similar prob with moto 360, if the watch is on for a period of 24hrs or maybe longer the alerts won't show up on watch but a reboot will sort it, reminds me of a Sony problem which is starting to bugg the piss out of me

Yes, I'v noticed the exact same thing I think I'm just going to reboot it every morning when I take it off charge. Hopefully there will be an update to fix it.

moggser

Good man at least I don't have to smash it now lol its a pain in the hole alright mine updated twice when i powered it on

Some retailers surprise me with comments like that. Having used it for only a few days now I honestly love it. Its probably my inner nerd coming out :pac:

I mean the amount of people going about with fitbit bands and the like should tell them that it is worth stocking

Currys seem to be stocking the original G Watch. I wonder if they are trying to see if it will sell before stocking the R but they should really stock the 360 as that would be a closer comparison
