This watch is NOT made for swimming....the IP67 rating makes it ok to leave it on the wrist during a shower etc...I guess you got lucky...

>>Make sure your phone's step count is disabled if you use Google fit. Otherwise, it will merge steps from both devices How do you do that?

I was thinking of getting truphone...why do you think can it have an impact on your edge/phone? Not relevant if you neex standalone now, of course, but the lack of it I suspect is because Google does not support it yet. That probably will change once Apple does...

I typically turn on location, remove the watch from my wrist (get match faster lock that way; cellular, etc off), run WearGps (to see Nr of satellites it found), put it back on my wrist, and once Ghostracer has a lock start my run. I did not notice any issues with the quality yet (judging from...

Yes, cellular was off.

Ok, I tested the gps for the last 2 weeks. With screen off i(no BT etc) using ghostracer I get 20% decrease in battery level for 2hrs and 18min. With screen/ambient on it is almost 2x that drain. Assuming battery drain is linear in time, I get 10+ hrs with screen, everything off but gps...

I am using t-mobile prepaid (3$/month) for voice + text...works well. Have not tried to use data via cell though.

I live in teh US - can you please send me what plan (pre-paid?) and sim card you got? Thanks!

You can enable burnin protection in the developer section beneath about in settings and there go to "wear developer options". To become a developer you must select in About the version info 10x or so. My Urbane screen now goes black after a few minutes when plugged in.

I tried that (give as a gift) at 3 ATT locations and none were willing to sell w/o a contract....

Btw, how does the TrueSmart+ compare to the Urbane in your opinion?

Ok - so ~20% per hr with BT, gps and cell on. Not bad!

How much battery did those 4 miles burn (and for how long was the gps on)? Thanks- I am trying to figure out whether with BT on for music and gps on during a run or hike I can get longer battery life than with my Sony SW3 (I get a max of ~4hrs with gps only and a bit less with BT on)...

Good news....I like those results...just ordered my Urbane lte (ATT version)... ;-)

Look into the Omate Rise. It is supposed be a true standalone watch. It runs full Android however and I am not sure how trustworthy this company is.
