Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Would likely just do Bluetooth.
Ok...
Samsung S3 classic
Samsung S2 classic
Huawei watch*
Asus Zenwatch 3
Moto 360 42mm*
LG watch style
The Huawei watch 2 Sport forum member 99 is trying to sell with maybe the right black metal band
The S2 and S3 works will all Androids now. They run on Tizen OS - the others run on Android wear. The Huawei watch and 360 have * because they are two year old watches. While eligible for Wear 2.0, they may be obselete software wise next year. Everything else on this list is less than a year old except for the S2 classic (1 year old) which Samsung updated to run exactly like the S3.
In theory you can look at a Fossil branded smartwatch, but while they have the style part down, I'm not a fan of their current screen techs.
Depending on your wrist size, the S2 classic, Huawei watch, LG Style and the 360 42mm are smaller watches. S3 is a big watch and the Huawei watch 2 sport is slightly smaller.
All can manage notifications well, some people really like the click wheel or the Samsung watches and the crown of the Watch Style. The S3, Zenwatch 3, Huawei watch and Huawei watch 2 Sport have speakers to do calls on the watch.
Looks is subjective - if you like silver, the Huawei watch and the S3 in silver look really good - Moto 360, Zenwatch 3 and Watch Style get honorable mentions. If you prefer black, they all look nice.
Best to look in store first. I think you can see all but maybe the S2 classic and that 360 42mm. These all are in the $200-$350 range with the S3 the most expensive. You can get most on this list for closer to $200 for the newer ones and less than $200 for the olderpst ones with creative digging. This is brand-new prices...if you got mint condition, then you can do much better.
Oh, only the Zenwatch 3 (and maybe Huawei watch 2 sport for availability) a pain in the *** when it comes to using standard watch straps. The S2 classic (I I think), Huawei watch and Watch Style use standard 18mm, Moto 360 uses 20mm and the watch 2 sport and S3 uses 22mm (I think).
Hope this helps.
