Asus just blew the lid off by releasing this video about 2-3 hours ago:
As expected, its to be called the Asus Zenwatch. Design looks good considering it will only cost probably less than half the price of the other watches. Stay tune!

But I have to agree, this is very innovative. Great job Samsung. Check out the Galaxy Note Edge.

Hmm, anyone following the IFA 2014 besides me? I guess no one. What is that? Also, by chance are you sick? I can't believe you haven't posted anything yet about the new smart watch apple is coming out with. That's been in the papers the last two days after apple's big reveal of what's coming in the future for them.

Will post pics then. I'm sorry Zhou. I've been away wayyyyy to long doing other stuff. I also saw where apple is suppose to release a newer version of the iPhone also. I didn't read anything though. I've been too busy with work and honestly I don't have much love for apple (just personal preference). I thought a while back to post something about the new corvette stingray, but that isn't exactly tech stuff. I also didn't know if anybody on here was a car enthusiast either.

Finally got the watch. Lots of photos incoming. Unboxing of the Watch: Basically pretty standard stuff. The Watch itself, mini USB cable, charging cradle, manual and charging plug. Pairing Up: Pairing up is pretty straight forward, just install Android Wear app from the Google Playstore, and follow the instructions. At the bottom of the charging cradle, is a sticker, for you to stick onto a surface if its a permanent charging place. I wouldn't recommend removing it because the cradle is the only way you are going to charge the watch. The Stock Rubber Band: The stock rubber band is soft and comfortable, and sits well on the wrist, pretty comfortable. Changing Strap: Since I prefer leather strap, I changed it while the watch is downloading the latest firmware. Basically you need a spring bar remover tool, just like the photo shown. Push back the rubber strap and you see a "ring", just use the tool, to push the ring part out from the hole, then pull out the strap, its that easy. Installing the new bands is also the same. More info in this video: I bought my leather band from this site: www.wristsolution.com/store/Android Wear: Email: Using G-Mail, I was able to read full emails, and reply them via my voice. Just swipe to "Reply", click it and say your message. Not recommended for long replies though, still better to use your watch. Its super useful for replies such as "Ok thank you." or "Noted." or "Will be there." etc. My current watchface: Modern. Android Wear: Whatsapp & OK Google: Whatsapp is also the same. You can read full Whatsapp messages, but the card will show the latest message. Swiping it once reveal the accumulated messages, and swiping again, enables you to "Reply" via voice, similar to the email version. "Ok Google" feature is super handy. You can perform searches, check weather, etc. Even check football score. I just say "What is the score between Hull City and Newscastle United", then it gives me the score, almost directly, super fast. And I don't need to speak with "angmoh" slang, just normal English. Android Wear: Multiple Watchfaces: The joy of smartwatch is that you can change your watchface to suit your preference. Here is some of the watchfaces I installed on my phone/watch. Top is the active screen, and below is the corresponding "always-on" version. The 3rd last and last watchfaces are the LG "stock" watchface. That was my first impression. Will test out more and report here.
