Thanks for the update. I am still on the fence, since my Urbane‘s screen looks so bad, and now one of my button rubber covers has disappeared. I may end up getting a newish Urbane instead, but I am holding off until after Google I/O. Regardless, let us know when you get your band!!

Heyyy! Thanks!! I am also considering just getting an “kind of almost new” Urbane 2 LTE off Ebay instead. I think those are the ones that were returned in Nov 2015. I bought a brandspanking new Wear24 watch sealed in its box for $60 last week and it made me realize how crappy my Urbane’s...

I would recommend the LG Sport or LG Urbane 2 LTE (which you can’t get new any more). They both have NFC for Google Pay, GPS, a great speaker, LTE and you can access the sim card slot yourself, amazing screens, and three buttons, which means you can program two of them to start your most...

That‘s not quite right: you can put any sim card in it including from overseas and it will work, since it’s not sim locked. I never managed to get this watch to work with their wearable plan, which used to be $5/month when I tried. The fault is 100% with their engineering department, who...

Months later and two more waterproof Wear watches are out: the Polar M600, no NFC, because ... why not overpay for minimal specs, and the Misfit Vapor, no NFC and not even GPS. I am on the lookout as well. Right now, I use a Suunto when paddlebording and swimming. I have two Wear watches that...

....Just wondering, as I was looking for a backup watch and all I see are watches marked as "new other". When asked, sellers say the watches are new but come without the original box, probably also without a charger and sim card removal tool. Hundreds of them. Weird, right?

Could you please post a direct link to the band? I tried a search and it came up empty. My og band broke off at the attachment points last year, replaced it with the leather band, but now this one is breaking at the hole where I close it (rubber on the underside is broken already, only the...

Yep, I‘d have to do the same, then. Too bad, I fear it may be a sign of things to come :(

Maybe! Shoot, now I wish I remembered if my lines started around the same time. I am still on v 2.7.0.178645119. Did you say the LG watch sport has only US bands, or did I misunderstand?

Agree, still wearing my orginal one (the one that was taken off the shelves days after it went on sale) daily. The screen has a few horizontal lines you can sometimes see and the band came off as well, but it still works beautifully, after a bit of a scare a few months ago. Ha, I had no idea...

Heyyy! Sorry, another missed comment! You know what, mine is still holding up. Have been wearing it daily since I bought it in Nov (Oct?) 2015, and it works beautifully, apart from a few horizontal lines in the display that you see mostly on lighter backgrounds. Also, I had to swap the watchband...

I don’t have any advice, but dropping you a note to say: I’ve gone through something similar with many, many Kindle Paperwhite devices and learned from it that color perception is key in how much this color shift bothers you as a user. I would show my Kindles to friends who could see absolutely...

I’ve never owned a Huawei before, but love the gold, and white front and SD card slot are a must for me.

Where do you live and what do you get for data? I'm in the US, and it shows 4G now on T-mobile (at first I only had 2G service, but traveled into a 4G area and it's stayed on 4G ever since). I am trying to figure out which bands are being utilized for my 4G service, since I'd like to switch to...

I'm pretty meh about some of the changes. They took away one or two gesture/touch commands I was using all the time in favor of stuff I don't use frequently. Stopping alarms or going into theater mode via the button was taken away, but now I can change the watchface with one swipe. How does this...
