Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one. I am just wondering if anyone here wears theirs as a watch and how does it perform? Does it stay in watch mode? Can you turn off the screen and then turn it back on to instantly have the time available? Can it does this task reliably, and does battery life play a factor? Any comments, suggestions, and opinions welcome, and thanks in advance. Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one.

I do and I don't think that will shorten battery life and you can turn it on and off instantly and it's looks great. Mine is silver nano with a black watchband and i really love itJust buy a iWatch on Amazon you wont regret

I'm here now is summer, so......But my watch seems normal, I continue to use for 12 hours, it looks all right.In some cases, it will suddenly stop detection for a few seconds, or a sudden increase or decrease heart rate data, but I think it is due to changes of my wearing loose or posture.

In short...... Yes, it should. In long...... I am a day and well, lets say 3/4's. I'm almost at 2 day's. I got the watch on Tuesday, fully charged it, put it on at 1pm. it has not left me since. I have used it fairly moderately. Made several calls. Tons of txts, Loads of notifications email/gmail/txt/calander/alarms. It has been connected to note 3 the entire time. I did power cycle it one time due to another issue. O, i did take it off for about 20 min while me and my wife got into the Hot Tub (i know its water proof, but didnt wanna risk the heat). While we where in the hot tub, i attached it to charging cradle. So Right now it is 1155 am Thursday, so lets call it a day and 23hours, and i have 70% battery. So in 2 day's with 1 power cycle, and 1 20-25 min charging session, i still have 70%. I think that is very reasonable. Now if i can get the one problem i am having straightened out, i will be good to go.

No Dick Tracy action here. When a call comes in, that info appears on the Pebble. You can accept/reject the call on the Pebble. But the watch has no microphone, so conversations still require the phone. For iPhone, a search on PEBBLE in the App Store yields relevant apps. They include one which allows you to use the watch to snap pics. Another amazingly provides turn by turn directions, via vibrations as you walk, telling you to turn left or right. The watch will always show the time, regardless of iPhone location. The rest is best explained by example. My chosen watchface/app = Futura, which shows time, Thu Dec 26, 39, and a weather icon (today, sunny & clear). I can move around my house, with the iPhone on another level/floor, risking the loss of only the weather info. Some days, I can roam around floor to floor, without loss of connection to the phone. Other days, I'm not so fortunate. Haven't figured out the precise real-world range yet. In any event, at worst, the icon and temp will disappear. When I'm back in range, that info soon reappears without any assistance on my part. FYI: I invested in a pouch -- which can be worn around the neck, or clipped with the carabiner supplied -- to keep the phone at hand, even when I have no pockets. Search here for neck-strap pouch iphone carabiner for options. Range from $6 to under $30. Some very highly rated. (As a woman, not all my clothing includes pockets. I've since cured that, via men's cargo sweats and the like for around the house. Turns out, they fit great and are of much higher quality that similar women's clothing. Go figure.)

it is good if u have the luck that get a watch that works, i've read that many people are complaining about this (i am one of those people). it worked fine just about 3 months, then the problem is that it shuts down every time i use it and doesnt save my info or even the time. i havent been able to repair it since...

Because it runs off the nuclear cells in the watch and it come with a Warranty so if u do in to any issues with the watch they will take care of it for u. Btw I like with watch people who see it love it and so do I if I had the money id buy an other one for my self because I bought this as a gift for my best friend I hope this helps. It's also water proof and glows in the dark.

I'll do my best. When you plug it in, does the watch not recognize that it's plugged in? (screen doesn't turn on/change/etc)? Sometimes I have to plug it in, and mess with it a bit before the screen says "Charging." By messing with it, I mean I essentially unhook it from the prongs, and redo it. If it's a dirt issue, what have you done to clean it? Maybe some of the prongs are being obstructed from the salt from sweat (or other things). Try cleaning it with an eyeglass lens cloth (not tissues as they're paper based and can scratch). Sorry those are my only suggestions. Good Luck :)

When I worked at Starbucks it was my main watch. Was great being able to check texts, emails, tweets while at work without anyone really noticing. Many customers gave me compliments. But now at my new job, I am afraid to bang the watch against a rack or heavy item (work at a manufacturing warehouse). I do use it on the weekends the entire day and I also use it as my main alarm (wrist vibrates) on weekdays so that I don't wake up my wife with my loud phone alarm. Am looking to upgrade to newer version soon!

Do you use a watch? I just use my band. Is feels like a watch. Not that bad for me.

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

Yeah, no idea! I bought mine and it didn't come with the watch and said it had everything to start using it.......no strap, no watch or other needed device and I have left it sit ever since......WASTE OF MONEY.

I apologize if this is an ***obvious*** point, but I have found that there is dramatically better performance in finding satellites if you turn on your watch and leave it on the ground/on a rock/on a post that is in relatively clear view of the sky while you stretch or get ready to run/ride. Rather than turn on the watch and put it on, I suggest to all users to try this simple trick. You will have a much better experience using the watch (mine is a 305).

Mine did, 2 years ago. I really liked the features and function on this watch, but it totally died on me out of the blue. I took very good care of it. I've read forums saying this is an issue. Motorola basically said too bad. I'll work hard to never buy Motorola products. I now use a Garmin 310XT for running/cycling and love it. I use an Ipod Nano for music. Best of luck on your choice.

Played a few times with the bluetooth connected to my iPhone. Haven't had any issues with it disconnecting during the round. Actually noticed last time I played, that it was a bit annoying. ALL notifications that appear on your iPhone (i.e. emails, texts, application notifications, etc.) appear on the watch and makes it tedious to get back to the distance screen or clear all notifications during a hole, but that may just be me. Hopefully that helps. Definitely love the watch, I wear it beyond just playing, just as an everyday watch. Considering its cost, might as well get as much use out of it.

Sometimes the battery in the watch gets old and run out of power, I think. I put a brand new one if that happens, and the watch runs well. Ideally, the battery should last much longer than a day or two.

My pink is looking pretty bad. I'll try the diswasher and hope is doesn't hurt it. I also just changed the time and now the settings are to high. The beats are just to high. I lost the instructions. Any recommendations gals?Polar F6 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Pink Coral)
