I'm normally (never) a fan of Samsung products, but I actually really like the look of that watch.
@markg it's an android, you don't type, you swipe. (I actually often find myself trying to swipe instead of type when I'm on my iPad.)

The curved screen makes a huge difference I think. Just a shame it is so bulky. |

It's still stupid. Imagine trying to type on that keyboard, there's a reason why the general trend since smartphones came along has been for bigger screens. I guess this might be pretty useful for naturists or perhaps for people with a pathological aversion to pockets. |

Interesting. It appears that Tizen is based on Linux (so no Android nonsense), and I wouldn't even need an Android phone to run it. *strokes chin* |

Yes, and some of them are quite nice: http://burgsmartwatch.com/watchphones Some of them are cheap (50£): http://www.spicesmartphones.com/smart-pulse-m-9010 And some of them have an appealing website: http://www.3gwatches.com/revolution.html |

Finally got my refund on my Fitbit Force from all the time ago. The cheque (or to be more accurate, check) got lost in the post. Any guesses as to how much $140 will work out in pounds when I actually pay it in at the bank. Fitbit have released details of three new health trackers, which look interesting. http://www.today.com/health/fitbit-laun ... 1D80240005 The Surge looks impressive for the price. |

I have ordered one from John Lewis! and cancelled all the other orders! All eggs in one basket, me. Getting it delivered on Friday, as picking it up tomorrow afternoon could have been a little comical, due to my root canal in the morning... Main reason was due to the John Lewis return policy and the reports of dead pixels on delivery on a lot of watches. At least this way I have a local shop I can take it to, if it needs to go back. |

They can't do anything now it is in transit, apart from when it arrives they will send me a freepost jiffy bag to send it back in. Little bit annoying to be told that it was cancelled this morning on the phone though, as then I went and ordered from John Lewis I've now cancelled the John Lewis one and will keep the Motorola one... |
