When I had a Nexus 4, I had an app that I could change the LED color depending on the notification. Email would flash white, texts red and so on.
Cool to see them responding that fast, I'm on AT&T though and no software update yet lol, still says April 2 as last update in my phone
Just got it set up. First impressions are good. I like some of the clock faces.
Will try a few. I like the fact the feature of watch turning on without having to look at it
I wish it was android wear

I just downloaded this. Not sure if this is a big deal or not as i didnt notice any security bugs but i have it now.
Why would it be a waste of money and not nessesary ? If you get a lot notifications then it is very useful certainly when it means you don't have need to keep looking at your phone every 5 secs
Ha replaySeems like ESPN is lying as you watch a current game.
Where it is located? I dont se an icon for it.
It just convienient at the end of the day. There are times yes I will just look at my phone but when there are times I'm at home and my phone is on the side I don't need to keep getting my phone for every notification I get. Due to twitter notifications my phone goes off a lot and checking each one by getting my phone and checking all the time isn't always as good as just checking my watch when it will just wake the watch to tell me. There are times at work or out and about where I wouldn't be able to keep checking my phone the watch helps with this.
I get it that some just feel they need one. Im just not one of them. My phone is always with me....99% of the time. Ocassionally ill leave it in the bedroom or something if i get distracted doing something else. Its just not for me and i dont feel the expense would be anywhere near worth it.
That's fair enough, I go overboard at times with phones and have the edge with my 6s plus but I'm not planning on piling on the phones. Will likely keep my 6s plus for a few more years yet. Will see I guess but normally I upgrade my phone every year and tablet but I think it will be just phones going forward.
Ive had the App TuneIn radio on my phone for a long time that has always worked. Is that the same thing we are talking about here?
Agreed completely.For me personally, you don't realize the added benefit until you start using it and then stop. And yes, it's primarily about convenience, in much the same way that a laptop is more convenient than a desktop, a phone more convenient that a laptop, etc. I love how I don't have to keep looking at my phone all day, don't have to make sure it's within arms reach...probably reducing the number of times I unlock and open my phone by 75% (complete esitmation, haven't actually measured it. It's probably reduced the amount of time I spend on my phone frivolously as well--how many time do you open your phone to check a notification but then casually decide to check FB or Twitter, sports scores, web pages, new feeds, etc?
I like how my phone no longer is beeping all day long whenever I get a notification since it defaults to the phone for that when it's connected and unlocked. I love being able to quickly set a reminder or add an item to a list, how I can control playback of sound, reply to a message or take a call when I'm cooking or have my hands full in the yard or garage. Being able to take the dogs for a long walk and still listen to music and track my walk or run without bringing my phone if I choose. I like being able to easily control my musicI like how the reward cards in my wallet automatically pop up into my notifications when I'm near that merchant and can be quickly pulled up for scanning. I actually visit merchants that accept tap to pay almost daily so quickly paying with the watch is super convenient.
Is it for everyone? Of course not and most time when I'm ask by people if they should get one, I usually say no, not yet. But outright disqualifying its utility because you do so it fit into your work flow....
What's the saying, "Don't knock it 'till you try it."
) or missing them entirely because her phone is muted.
I like the fact the feature where you can make sure it lights up even if you aren't looking at it.Another great feature is both Android Wear and Apple Watch can still function over wifi when not directly connected to the phone via BT. With my carrier's wifi calling features, I get all my calls on my Apple Watch as long as I'm connected to a known wifi network. I have a wifi hotspot in my car at all time...I've often run quick errands without my phone at all. My wife leaves her phone locked up in the office at the hospital when she's rounding because she can recieve/send both messages and calls on her Watch. She gets buzzed on her wrist vs. having her phone ring/chirp (patients love that
Again, certainly not for everyone--my wife wasn't sold on it until she realized this aforementioned functionality and that she could go for a run and still have her music without having to lug her phone---but there are definitely benefits for many of us.
With the Samsung watch, is it possible to add a separate line to it? I have a co-worker who has the last generation and he had a separate line connected to the watch. Apparently, T-Mobile does this for $5 a month.
Well on the gear S I had a separate sim only deal on it and used it like that. Not sure how it works differently in the US.
