With wearables/smartwatches it’s important to read reviews that are written around the time you are thinking about purchasing the device as the software on these devices is frequently updated, which can render prior reviews obsolete/inaccurate. I think this is certainly the case with the Moto...

Personally, I'm torn. Curious what others think.

Is anyone else this having problem? I read that others on the Reddit forum also had issues with this set up and I'm really hoping there is a fix or work around as this is a dealbreaker for what is otherwise I think a great device for me at this point in time. Unfortunately I have to use the...

I haven't used the SW3 but I've been using the Moto 360 Sport for the past week and it's mixed bag. HR monitor seems to work reasonably well, and I like the Moto running app and Moto Body. Battery life, which many people complained about, has also been fine for me. The main problem for me with...

You can push tracking data steps calories etc (Update: only your Moto Running app recorded runs get pushed) to the fitbit app

Supposedly it was made available for sale today at AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Does anyone have it? Impressions? Anyone say anything about the GPS and weather is improved over previous versions of the S2 3G? I'm also curious about a direct comparison with the Moto 360 Sport? Thanks.

Has anyone used both? which do you prefer and why? Thanks.

I had this happen with my Z3C and Sony charged me to have it replaced rather than replacing for free. I've had other build issues with the Z3C, namely the screen popping/flexing. I also had one of the flaps come off. But, I'm very happy to report that the Z5C appears to have much better build...

If you're in Canada is buying through Amazon.com an option?

Thoughts here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sony-xperia-z5-compact/609230-my-impressions-z5c-vs-z3c-stuff-not-generally-talked-about-reviews.html If you have a question or comment on what I've written please post it on the Z5C thread. Thanks.

No, the frosted glass on the Z5C solves this problem beautifully. I would also add that the front glass doesn't get as fingerprinted as the Z3C. I imagine part of this is explained by the fact that my Z5C is still pretty new, and I remember the front of the Z3C resisting finger prints better...

I think the general consensus is that, with regards to photos, it's close but the Z5 is maybe beaten slightly by the other main flagships. I suspect what's going on here is that Sony probably has put the best camera sensor in the Z5, but that Samsung, Apple, etc. have invested more time in...

I'm using UK 3 mostly in the US as part of their Home Away program, so I'm mostly on AT&T. When roaming on Home Away 3 restricts users to 3G data speeds so I can't speak about 4G speeds, but the Z5C phone reception/call quality has been excellent.

Overall I've been a pretty happy Z3C user. My two main beefs with the Z3C we're some build quality issues (screen on two devices would pop/flex) and I've never been crazy about the photos. They were just ok. So here's my take on the Z5C: First, the fingerprint sensor changes a lot in terms of...

I debated the same thing and am very happy I did upgrade. But this was in part based on my ability to sell my Z3C for a good price and acquire the Z5C for a good price. For me the upgrade is worth at least $200-$300. If you upgrade I think you'll find a lot to be happy with. Lots of major and...
