You are missing early bird #2 sports metal rock?

Creator Romandro 4 days ago

Hey Vak,

I have a question about the app program.. Do you think you can develop an app that can sync itself to the current stock prices? I think that would be awesome especially for the wall street watch..

I don't know much about smartwatches but my background is in video production.. And for someone who's been doing this for a long time.. I have familiarity with what looks HD and what doesn't on and off screen. For this particular watch.. It definitely does look HD.

I'm not making much money nowadays but the $97 price point is a steal for what this watch can do and will be able to do once it hits the market.

That being said.. I understand that it's a kickstarter campaign and we're all trying to back a project that can benefit us as consumers in the long run.. but at the same time we also want to get the most quality for our buck. That's why I feel good about this campaign from where it's starting and where it plans to go. Like I said.. $97 is definitely a steal and I bet Vak and his guys will keep on adding features as this campaign progress.

Kudos for giving us an affordable option for smartwatches.

1. What will be the android version?
2. Play Store access?
3. Internal Memory, supports micro sd?
4. HD screen means, in your videos Screen does not look HD by any means?

what are the dimensions of the watch itself? ( i want to know if it will looks weird on my small wrist)

Creator Pu Hwai Ching 4 days ago

I'm sorry Vak, I'm going to have you call you out as the marketing guy who can't answer the engineering questions.

Multiple people have been asking about the screen resolution. We can all understand that it is 240x240.

On the issue of '1080p HD', you answered '@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...' as well as '240 x 240 with VP 1080P H.264 Support'.

No, your screen is not 'structured' as 1080p, neither does it have 'VP 1080P H.264 Support' (what the heck does that even mean?). Please also don't advertise your watch as a 'HD colour touch screen smartwatch' under the early bird special, it is not.

Trogdor asked about the memory and internal memory being listed as 4G. I would assume they refer to the ram and the internal storage. You answered it as '@Trogdor: yes. 4Gb. It's 4G+4G'. The smartwatch having 4GB of internal memory is reasonable, but I highly doubt that the watch has 4GB of ram, when the Note 3 currently has only 3GB of ram. Not only that, the terminology is plain confusing for consumers and geeks alike, where GB is the standard term for memory/storage and 4G refers to the network.

I use a Pebble, and when I saw this, I was really interested due to the price and the added functionality, for a price cheaper than what I got the Pebble for. However, the page is badly affected with false marketing and misleading answers, and that puts me off the whole project.

Do get your real engineers here to answer the questions and edit the page. You guys might have a good thing going on here, don't kill it by your actions.

Hi,

Just became a backer to see how the journey plans out. Then will decide towards the end to see if the product is to my liking or not.

My main concerns is iOS support, i hope you have more support for iPhones with your watch then just general text alerts.

Its also a little worrying that the watch has absolutely no speaker in it?!

Also you have mentioned every time that the battery is standard, but have never stated how much that standard is! Front page shows standby time of 100-150hrs. But how many hours does it translate to general usage? How many days can i get out of this watch before i have to charge again, say if I'm only using the watch for the time, reading notifications, controlling music on my smartphone etc...

Also how long does it take to charge via USB?

Is the display always on showing the time or does it black out into sleep mode?

One thing that I'm sure it would do but still need to know is, can i control my music running on my iPhone (skip, play, pause, forward).

Can i use Siri through the watches microphone?

Apps i would like to see in addition to doing the above basic day to day things, a way to talk to someone through voice call/skype call when watch connected with smartphone.

and a really useful one would be to keep beeping the iPhone with a button push on the watch, so if its buried under things and lost, i can track the phone easier by hearing the beeping sound coming from the phone.

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.

Creator Trogdor 4 days ago

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!

Where is the early bird special #2 The Sport Metal Rock model without Qi?

Creator Nathan O'Kane 4 days ago

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."

Creator Wollemi Pine 4 days ago

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

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

Creator Liyu 4 days ago

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.

Will it work with ios? IPhones etc.

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.

Creator julius cuevas 5 days ago

Yes I was wondering something similar as Luis. Will the watches have different batteries and methods of charging?

Creator Nathan O'Kane 5 days ago

One more question. What is the Sports model actually constructed from? Thanks.

Creator Nathan O'Kane 5 days ago

in the specs it says 240x240 and then 1080P HD what is the display resolution?

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?
