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

Unfortunately no. Its based solely on Bluetooth technology (as ALL the smartwatches currently are) and gets all the data via your smartphone. Thus its not really a "smartwatch" more so a "notification watch"! Non-the-less still pretty cool/helpful. Side note however, Sony is releasing a NEW smartwatch this year and many other companies just released a handful of decent watches. I'd recommend doing a little more research (Google/YouTube) and finding a newer option! Good luck.

Normally, the battery in this watch will last at least a year perhaps longer.In my experience, you have a defective unit. Contact your seller.

I found I needed to sync it. The watch resets at midnight. If there is a different way to program it I couldn't find one. I do shift work so I wanted a different reset time but couldn't change it. I hope this helps.

It's perfectly fine for an everyday watch and has great battery life (over a year) when not in GPS mode. It's not super stylish as it's a sports watch but it can definitely do the trick for both running and daily use.

Not at all! It feels like a regular watch with no irritation or any other issues. I really like it.

Hello Beth,For the model I have (Model: 8RS00) there is an additional heart rate strap which needs to be purchased/worn to monitor heart rate. I think there is another model which has it built into the watch, but I'm not sure which one. I've really enjoyed this watch and for my purposes, running, swimming and biking, it's awesome. Good upload onto my iPhone App and good reports for distances, speed, etc. Hope that helps!

In the moment of most need, the buttons collapsed. They were clanky and notorious at first, then they seemed to settle into an unnoticeable soft touch that did not last despite not being truly in use. Now the buttons are fully collapsed. It turned on but there is no way to push the second button to take pictures or keep it pushed 2s for video. Now I am not sure the watch is still working, the battery would run out by the second day even without use and I am not bothering to charge them. They cannot be used as simple sunglasses because the plastic became completely scratched and fully blurred. I am not sure if I can be certain the battery charged if the on button also collapses.

Do you wear wear something on your wrist now? If so are you willing to wear something else or instead? Do you need a device that is water resistant? Do you want a device that shows data (steps, etc.) on the device itself, or are you willing to look at your phone app/computer dashboard for details? Do you want to track flights of stairs?

has anyone thought about ordering the go wear display? It definitely comes on a wristband, and it is the same price. The website says they are compatible, but i was wondering if anyone had any info on that. Thanks!

Hi! That is correct. Here is a link to a YouTube vid on the watch. Watch "null" on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FZFzTOHIA

I've never needed to since I just got it but looked on the back of watch & it appears to look just like a regular watch backing that can be removed like a regular watch. Perhaps you can go onto Geneva website & see if they give any information or send them an email to ask? Hope this helps a bit

This question was asked a few months ago, but I'm wondering if it's changed yet: is this model truly the 2.0? With 1, 2, & 3hr settings plus intermittent setting? It says it's the 2.0 model, but shows the old model. Anyone get one recently who can verify or even better, upload a pic? Thanks.

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.
