  @Nathan...for 1080p...i just want to clarify...240x240 is the resolution...but in terms of how the screen is structured...it's 1080p as in P for progressive scan...
  
  Here's the reference: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Differences-Between-1080i-1080p-720p-/10000000002126276/g.html

  @Nathan: Resolution: 240 x 240 with VP 1080P H.264 Support

  @Wollemi: Yes, it's standard water resistant.

  @Trogdor: yes. 4Gb. It's 4G+4G...that's correct. Nope...memory is not expandable.
  
  Resolution: 240 x 240 with VP 1080P H.264 Support
  
  Standard 1yr warranty.
  
  In terms of usage...that all depends from person to person and how active you are. Say if you're using for the gym, business, viewing photos...that will change the amount of battery life.
  
  Qi means it uses wireless charging. Battery is pretty standard.
  
  We'll have our core fitness apps...like yoga, golf, running, tracker...mostly health apps. This will be a lead into our follow-on product that will pair perfectly with the Rock.
  
  Microphone is for speech to text. Speaker we've found that it drains the battery a lot.
  
  Oh...the App Portal will be an App that will be available via Google Play. Developers can develop their apps using this platform SDK. From there, apps can be dragged and dropped into our Rock portal and their apps will automatically transfer to the Rock Smartwatch.
  
  I hope this all helps.

  Another question:
  You list memory as 4G. I'm assuming 4 GB. Correct? Same for Internal Memory?
  What amount of memory is set aside for the OS? What of that internal memory remains available to end users? I am assuming memory is not expandable. Correct?
  
  Note I'm not making judgement on amount of memory as this is a watch. I am asking for this information to make an informed decision.

  I'm interested but need some more details please.
  1] I am not clear how a 240 x 240 pixel screen size equates to a 1080p HD resolution. Please elaborate.
  2] Warranty?
  3] I understand battery standby time, however what is battery life when in use? With Wi-Fi enabled? Difference between Qi and standard battery life? Is the battery end user servicable? Battery specs?
  4] What core apps will be ready at time of shipment?
  5] Specs indicate a microphone, what about a speaker?
  6] You indicate a progressive rollout of apps. What core apps will be available upon delivery?
  7] I am making an assumption that the portal app is a way to bypass Google App Store certification. May I ask you to elaborate on this application? What apps have you tested from phone to watch [e.g. angry birds, Keypass, etc.]? What apps have you had fail to transfer [if any]?
  
  Thanks in advance for the reply!

  I'm sorry can you expand on this, I don't really get it. "The 240 X 240 is the pixel screen size, the 1080P HD is the resolution, which is very high end for smartwatches."

  Is the watch waterproof? I didn't see an IP rating.

  @Audree: No no...those apps are on the rock. Yes you can use it. That's because those apps uses your Bluetooth that's on your smartphone to connect to the smartwatch. I hope this helps. Free free to email me: vak@rocksmartwatch.com

  hi, does it mean that if i have an iphone, i am unable to use all the apps like tracking etc?

  Cool! my vote for a google voice/skype calling app, given this has a mic and can connect to wifi. Cell phone reception at work is super spotty compared to wifi, and this would give me a reason to ditch the cell for most of the day.

  @julius: in terms of apps...no...but for certain bluetooth connections like notifications and alerts yes. We do have a developer package there apps can be developed for iOS.

  Abhradeep,
  The anti theft app is included with the Rock.

  @kent: processor Dual Processor: 1Ghz and 500Mhz and as for GPS...since it's connected to your smartphone...you'll be using GPS through that. We want to minimize power consumption as much as possible... keep the questions coming everyone... thank you for your support...

  Will it work with ios? IPhones etc.

  Luis,
  The Qi battery will have a higher duration peroid.
  Thanks Vak
18. Creator Abhradeep Maiti 4 days ago
  
  Is there also going to be an anti-theft app? If activated, that app will sound an alarm if the connected phone goes beyond a certain range? Thanks.

  So every reward's battery lasts the same?
  
  Also, does reward #5 include the leash device thing?
  
  Can it be bought separately or with the first reward?
  
  Thanks.

  The 240 X 240 is the pixel screen size, the 1080P HD is the resolution, which is very high end for smartwatches.
  The Sports casing is a composite plastic, with high degree of hardening plastic durability.
  Best Vak
21. Creator julius cuevas 5 days ago
  
  Yes I was wondering something similar as Luis. Will the watches have different batteries and methods of charging?
22. Creator Vak Sambath 5 days ago
  
  Luis
  We wanted to offer a variety of value and higher technology, so the first 3 rewards includes a USB charger and for a few more dollars the last 3 rewards include Qi wireless charger, each reward does indicate the various components.
  Cheers Vak

  One more question. What is the Sports model actually constructed from? Thanks.
24. Creator Nathan O'Kane 5 days ago
  
  in the specs it says 240x240 and then 1080P HD what is the display resolution?
25. Creator Luis Eduardo Rodríguez 5 days ago
  
  I'm a little confused about the rewards. Some say they include a Qi battery, for example, but some don't. Do they use different kind of batteries? do some rewards include the charger but others don't?
26. Creator Kent Hambrock 5 days ago
  
  What processor(and at what speed) does this use and will it get GPS?
27. Creator Vak Sambath 5 days ago
  
  Great Question, will check with our engineers.
28. Creator Liyu 5 days ago
  
  Will this work with an ipad/android tablet instead of a smartphone?
29. Creator Vak Sambath 5 days ago
  
  As stated on the rewards, shipment is shortly after Christmas, although we have created the printable Rock Christmas Gift.

  Hi, it says that the watch can be shipped in time for Christmas?
