... Gear 2 Neo for over 13 months now and like it a lot
355156
I have had my Gear 2 Neo for over 13 months now and like it a lot.
Here are my biggest complaints:
Pedometer Issues - Pauses Step Counts
  - why does it have a pause on my step count? (sometimes, due to excessive movement -- my step count will pause and then I don't notice and I am missing 1/2 day of steps!)
Pedometer Issues - Resets Step Counts
  - why does it reset my step counts? (another accidental reset due to excessive movement -- or just recently when I was setting up my Christmas tree and with the branches touching the screen so much it reset. Also when I am getting ready it will reset -- very annoying!! -- especially when it does it late in the day and i had over 10k steps and then I end up with 1k instead!)

Battery Life
It is pretty poor .. it basically does not last but 2 days max (and usually it is on it's last 15% before the end of the day.)
I cannot use it consistently for sleep monitoring -- actually, rarely because it uses too much battery and it won't last the next day.

Notification: Vibration
it does not notify me via vibration anymore but it is minor. I wish it did more because there are many instances where I can't hear it or I want it on mute but vibration is sufficient.

Activity Level
  - I am pretty active and will get anywhere from 10k - 20k in a day more during the spring and summer time but I do crossfit and yoga in the fall/winter so, I don't get as many steps per se but I am still getting around 10k - 12k a day.

I received a Moto 360 2nd Gen as a gift and was looking for something more durable than the included OEM leather band. I've always liked mesh bands as they give you the durability of a metal bracelet with the ability to fully open the watch and have a greater degree of adjustment. The benefits of a mesh band on a smartwatch such as the 360 2nd Gen come in the form of the more finite adjustment increments which allow you to dial in that perfect fit thereby ensuring more accurate readings of your heart rate plus the ability to fully open the band for charging on a portable battery pack where you simply lay the watch down against the charging surface. An encircled bracelet requires that you open the watch and place it around the battery pack to do so. If you have smaller wrists there is a chance you wouldn't be able to do this with a metal bracelet but a mesh band opens just like its leather counterparts eliminating this potential problem.

Overall, for the price, you get a decent looking band that matches the finish on the silver 360 2nd Gen. The incremental adjustment is excellent and the closure is very secure. The finish of both the silver and black mesh bands seem durable to date and compliment the watch itself quite well.

This Gear Fit would be just perfect if the strap could be updated with something more secure.  On three different occasions I have had the band slip from the notch.  Lucky enough I noticed each time and was able to find the Gear Fit.  Now I spend a good amount of time obsessing about whether it's still on my wrist or not.  Should be easier than that.
On the good side, all the Fit2 comes with great features that are very handy and keep a lot of data handy for living the healthy life.  Really like that!

I wanted to wait until I finally had to reorder this before writing a review.  These cases are tough, very tough which is something that I look for.  The first one, which I got in Nov of 2014, has lasted until now, Aug of 2015.  Actually I'm still using it but it has gotten ragged to the point where it doesn't like to stay on my belt any more.  I know that less than a year seems like a short time for a case but I use it every day, all day, and harder on the weekends since my cell is always on my hip.  I am a very active person and as such I put more wear on things than most folks.  If you have a moto g or something similar, and a cell phone protective case with a kickstand like I have this is something that you may want to look into

I purchased this in October 2015 - here we are nearly two years later and the product has been fantastic.

With the addition of regular updates including the huge Android Wear 2.0, an regular addition of watch faces to the play store and new apps constantly adding support for Android Wear I can't recommend this product enough.

2 years later and I still haven't seen a new Android Wear watch that offers a better alternative which is a testament to how good this watch is.

This is my 2nd Moto 360.  My 1st gen watch had grown on me and found it essential.  It was maybe a little big with the Steel Connect adapter, but I had gotten used to it.  I might be more happy with the larger 46mm watch, but it wasn't in my budget at the time.  I love the ambient display that is on all the time.  With the right watch face looks very nice.  There are a lot of updates to Android Wear that my 1st gen could not get.

I did have to get new 20mm watch bands as the old watch used 22mm bands.

I do have some issues with receiving sms notifications; I have tried Hangouts, but didn't like it as a primary messaging app.

I was a little concerned since this isn't an OEM part, but I've used it a buch of times on a Gear Neo 2 samsung smartwatch and it seems to work great.

I've had it for 10 months and it has been fantastic!  I'm sure it's not 100% accurate on the step counter or the way it measures sleep patterns.  But it is certainly close enough to give me a good idea of what I do.  I especially love the smart alarm!!  It wakes me up while I'm in a light sleep pattern.  Prior to this, I always struggled to wake up in the mornings.  This has taken away that struggle completely.

After 10 months, the button on it quit working.  Since it has a 1-year limited warranty, I called Jawbone.  I expected to be told that I must have been too hard on it or did something that wasn't covered.  But after going through a couple of diagnostic/reset steps on the phone with the tech, they initiated a delivery of an UP2 (UP24 is now outdated) with no questions asked.  I was quite shocked and pleased.

I've had this Otterbox since September of 2011 and it's been great.  The phone has fallen out of my messenger bag a few times onto concrete and still going strong (not even a mark on the case.)  The fit is perfect, yeah it makes the phone bulky - but I knew that going in.  The outer silicone skin for the Evo 3d actually fits snug and secure, unlike some Otterbox cases where you see it popping off and misshapen.

*Update 7/1/2012*

The outer layer has loosened to the point it's not staying on well, and after removing the case the other day the screen cover came apart from the plastic inner shell. The case managed to last 10 months, with daily (hourly) use, not bad overall.  I would probably be upset if I would have paid the full retail price, but since I didn't I will happily move on to something new.. Ballistic HC.

I have been using this for about four months now and I love it.  It is very well constructed and holds up to heavy usage. I carry it my the wrist strap all the time and it has a really strong grommet and the hook/clasp that holds it on is also well made.  It still looks new!  The three credit card/ ID pockets are really useful, as I carry my phone so much it ends up functioning as my wallet.  It even has a pocket where you can slip some cash.  The magnetic clasp/flap also works really well and I can flip it to the back out of the way when Um using my phone and it will adhere to the back of the case as well as the front.  I have dropped it several times and it protects the phone.  Great product.

I am really liking this case. The lime green is pretty neat. The Moto X fits very well inside of the case. The buttons and holes line up. it just feels well manufactured. The way it snaps together makes it feel very solid and stable in the hand, the screen protector was a worry for me but I gave this case a chance and I am glad I did, I will say the bezel is thick and as i try to space I man hands hit b or n making my texts read "Iblikebthisbcasenablot" unless I go really slowly and deliberately. it could be as much my hands as the case though. I do need to ride the bezel to hit the space though.

that's my only complaint and in my opinion isn't much of one. if you are thinking about this case, I would only encourage you to buy it.

Edit to add-  I needed to take the case off and in trying to pry it apart the case broke.  If i can add a photo i will.  I can appreciate how solidly it fits together but if you can never take it off without a replacement on stand by whats the point?

update 9.27.14

I got a new case from trident. Their customer service was terrific.  After living with this case for a while I can better give a pros and cons list.

PRO-

This thing is sturdy. I dropped it on my tile floor with a loud CLACK sound and even with the case I was fearing the worst.  I now have 100% confidence in it.

CON- I kind of hate the screen protector. it mucks up the button presses and is a real pain when i am on trying to pay bills and using menus. texting is an annoyance, phone menus is rage inducing. spend time on hold... get to the menus... not be able to work the buttons, spend more time trying to fight the case and take it off with out breaking it this time...  call back and do the menu buttons.

if it didn't drop protect so well it just wouldn't be worth it to me.  if it breaks again when I need remove it so I can use the buttons... I hope they replace it again.

I've had it for 13 months. In general, I've been a satisfied customer. It lacks some Apps I enjoy (NY Times, The Atlantic, some easier to use Google features) but everyone knows that. But other things have worked very well. As a phone and for messaging it's been great, the battery is good and I've set it up as a hot spot numerous times without issue. I love the fact that I can now download selected Prime shows and films and watch offline. Which I just did on a couple of XC flights. But now that it is out of warranty by a month I learn I can get no support for my cracked screen --- just happened. It looks like I'd have to pay $150 to have the touch screen replaced. Ouch. And since Amazon no longer sells these I'm guessing I'm just simply S-O-L and need to find another phone. But if anyone out there has another solution I'm all ears. Thanks.

I purchased this product in January 2016 and it is still the current case I have on my Galaxy Note 4. It fits my Note 4 perfectly, but adds a lot more bulkiness and weight to an already large phone. The volume and power buttons work fine through the case. Home button isn't the easiest to press or use as a fingerprint reader due to the inner frame sitting so high that it protrudes off of the screen.

 I've dropped my phone in the case on several occasions. I'm clumsy. The case protected my phone in conjunction with the use of a tempered glass screen protector. The black, inner frame of the case has pieces that have chipped off after the breaks (pictured). Also, the swivel loop kickstand is still attached, but a piece of the plastic on the hinge has broken off within the first 2 months, causing the kickstand to stay attached with the metal pin, but it doesn't support the weight of the phone. The weight of the phone makes the kickstand close on itself and essentially useless. I do not use the clip holder because it is already bulky enough and I personally don't find the need for a belt clip these days.

*Case does not fit in a standard selfie stick, too wide. But my bare Galaxy Note 4 fits in a selfie stick*

I've now had this watch for almost 3 months. I love it. I thought it was going to be bulky on my skinny arm, but looks good. The full face is easy to use and maneuver through apps. The talk text isn't super user friendly, but I don't use that too much. I get a high volume of work emails, so it goes off all the time, making my battery life a little longer than a day, but super fast to charge. It's water resistant, so no biggie if I accidentally forget to take it off and jump in the shower. I've never submerged it tho. I use this watch with a Galaxy s7. Android Wear has crashed a handful of times, but nothing major. Super happy about my purchase. I shopped smart watches for about 3 months before I finally got this one.

I got the LG G3 when it first came out and have used it for over 3 months. I was very happy with the G3 but decided to pass it down to a family member so I could try out the Note 4 (N4). This review is focused on the distinguishing features between the 2 phones.

DESIGN
-G3 has a simple, classy skin with nice faux metal back. Minimalist and modern.
-N4 has more bling with 2 chrome strips that wrap around the body. I don't care for the faux leather back which is a bit asynchronous with the shiny, polished finish of the front and sides.
-Overall, N4 looks and feels like a slightly more luxury phone than the G3 at least from the front. However, the G3 has a more coherent, complementary design from all sides.

FORM FACTOR
-N4 is noticeably bigger and heavier than the G3.
-G3 does a great job minimizing bezels thus delivering a big screen in a compact package.

BUTTONS
-I like the location of the back buttons on the G3. It allows for clean sides and reduces the chance of an accidental button press.

SCREEN
-Both look great with rich colors, fantastic resolution, and plenty of brightness.
-N4 is spec'd at 0.2" bigger than the G3. Placed side by side, the difference in screen size is not that noticeable.
-N4 screen is just a tad bigger mainly in the height dimension.

USER INTERFACE
-G3 allows you to change the grid size of the home screens. I had 5 tiles across which looked proportionally correct and allowed plenty of widgets/apps. N4 does not allow you to change the grid which is ridiculous given how big the screen is. I was able to fit all my apps/widgets on 2 home screens with the G3 while the N4 requires 3.
-G3 has the "knock to wake up" feature which I found pretty convenient. N4 can be woken up with the power button or the home button which is not quite as convenient but plenty good enough.
-N4 has dedicated buttons for menu/home/back which is easier and more convenient to use. G3 has virtual buttons which work pretty well but can cause some error presses because they are so narrow. Since a lot of apps have banner ads at the bottom, I have occasionally clicked on an ad by mistake. (Note: I fully support the trend towards virtual buttons if it makes the phone smaller which seems to be the case with the G3.)
-N4 offers a cool multi-window option allowing you to keep an email or calendar open while placing a call. I find this very useful in certain situations like if you need to check on some stuff while on a call. G3 has a dual-window option that has fewer options and can't be used while on a call.

CAMERA
-I love how the N4 allows you to use the volume button to take a pic which means you can hold it like a regular camera. G3 requires a screen tap to take a pic which is much more awkward.
-N4 has a great burst mode which takes rapid fire pics when you hold down the shutter button (volume button). I use it to capture action sequences of my kids and the results are like a stop-motion video.
-Pic quality is indistinguishable between the 2 phones for casual viewers.

STYLUS (N4 only)
-The stylus is a unique feature of the N4 and allows for technical tasks such as screen cropping, writing on screen, batch selecting as well as the expected ability to handwrite notes.
-Excellent integration with OneNote. Allows freehand writing with stylus while panning with your finger.
-Casual users probably won't touch the stylus much or at all, but more advanced users will find the features pretty cool.

BATTERY LIFE
-G3 and N4 are both excellent and I usually have over 50% at the end of a heavy-use day (internet surfing, podcast listening, mobile hotspotting). The G3 generally had about 10-20% more battery life at the end of the day though.

OVERALL
Both are great phones and both will work very well for any type of user. Splitting hairs, I'd recommend the G3 for casual smartphone users because it offers a screen size almost indistinguishable from the N4 in a noticeably smaller, lighter body. The N4 will appeal to a more technical, advanced user who can take advantage of the stylus and multi-window interface.

Ive been using this case for well over a year now. No issues with it. I clip it to me belt, key chain, or backpack when im out adventuring or on the motorcycle. After extensive use, the back loop stitching is coming undone, but it is still holding on. My camera is already durable so no scuffs or dings when it's dropped due to the thicker fabric, it's also stretchy. It fits the camera snuggle, and I can also cram in an extra battery or Memory card if needed.

Have had the Garmin Vivosmart for a few weeks now.  I am/was using the Samsung Gear LIVE (Android wear) smartwatch, but was looking for something a little smaller, and perhaps a little more durable.  I really like the design and look of the Vivosmart so far.  I have been wearing it with the OLED screen on the underside of my wrist.  I find it easier to read the OLED when turning my wrist upwards, and it does have that nice feature of the screen turning on when you turn your wrist.  Plus, it hides the notifications should others be watching.  Kudos to the engineer who designed the additional rubber clasp/gasket.  It prevents the band from coming undone and falling off your wrist.

It does everything I was hoping it would.  Steps, distance tracking, sleep, and notifications.  Coming from a smartwatch, I wanted to keep the notifications, and the Vivosmart delivers on that.  I turned off the inactivity alert.  I found it annoying.

Pairing it with my Android device (Samsung Galaxy S4) was a little tricky.  But I was finally able to figure it out.  Downloaded the Garmin Connect app, which syncs with the band and collects/displays all the data quite nicely.  I do wish the data fed into the Google Fit app, but it does not.  At least not yet.

It does have a couple of flaws, however.  When paired with your smartphone, the battery does NOT last seven days, as suggested.  I've been getting 3 days maximum.  That's with moderate use.  Occasionally, the screen will not turn on when tapping on it.  The proprietary charging cable is a bit of a hassle.  Why do I need yet another cable?  Others have mentioned this, but pairing the device can be tricky.  It took me a few times to figure it out.  Eventually I turned off Bluetooth on my phone, turned it on, enabled pairing on the Vivosmart, and got the necessary pin.  A lot more complicated than it needed to be.  Speaking of Bluetooth, that might be the device's biggest flaw.  Constantly losing the connection with my phone.  It does re-connect automatically, but shouldn't lose the connection as often as it does.  Others have complained about this as well.

That being said..I really enjoy the Vivosmart, and would recommend it to others looking to purchase a hybrid fitnessband/smartwatch.
