Hi @Anonymous

Did you see this post from @viridis about charging times on the many smartwatches he has used?

I wouldn't buy one (I don't see the point of smart watches) but this is one of the better looking ones.  I don't liek the Apple watch, it's too square and bulky for me - I think a round watch looks much better.

I think Apple would appreciate this suggestion ...

They should definitely think about the round watch customers

LG have developed a round smartwatch here @Anonymous...and works with iOS

It's good that ios users now have the opportunity to have a watch that offers much better value for money.
I was genuinely mortified when I saw the cost of the apple watch straps at the other weekend, £259 for a STRAP,???
that would buy you an android decent watch and enough straps for each day of the week.

Cool! Thanks @Cleoriff ! I really like it

That's interesting @Cleoriff, they seem better than the Apple watch.

@Anonymous I agree....and obviously as @viridis has tested them we know it's fact

I've got a Gear and SW2 and I only charge them once a week.
If Apple ones need charging twice a day that's appalling !!

[viridis]

I was very impressed with my experience with gear s on the community try the tech @Anonymous that I went on to buy one myself. I strongly recommend you give it a whirl and see, now I prewarn you, it is big but will give you a chance to see what kind of experience the Samsung Gear family offers.

[viridis]

You should drop @Toby a PM to see if Gear S is still available.

That's my thoughts too.

The SW2 gave me best battery life followed by Gear 2.

Gear S uses a fair amount of extra juice for the mobile networking but still EASILY lasts over a day.
