My "Masonic" Watch

I had the watch for about 3 days and returned it. I found it missing some major functionality like it does not display your gmail on the watch. It will only show what's in the general mail app. Also I was not able to get text messages to show up.

The phone worked ok but the speaker was low quality. The last issue I had was the actual watch. When it feels your wrist turn it should show the time. Too often I found it did not work and I would have to re-flick my wrist.

Personally I will either wait for the second version or the iWatch.

But that's just my opinion.

There is a YouTube video that shows the full Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and I instagram apps and it was running the Nova launcher homescreen replacement if you look up Flossy Carter on YouTube he had 2 videos about the watch and then you can go to XDA Developers forum for the watch and learn how to put those apps on there

Ironically I've been in contact with Flossy and Jon Rettinger from technobuffalo.com about doing some collaborative work. I noticed that Floss buys many of his own products to review so I gave him some advice on how to get stuff for free. I used to run a hardware review site back in the day and many times you could have a company send you products for review and/or host giveaways at no charge.

You should check out MKBHD as well...young kid but knows his stuff..

I have since returned mine as well. I was hoping that it would compliment my note 3, but instead it became just another device to keep charged. The camera was surprisingly good, but you can't send any photos directly from it. In order to do so, you have to transfer it to your phone, pull your phone out then send it. S-Voice was horrific as always and the flick action to turn it on was annoying, especially if you're in a movie theater. The actual hardware is nice so many of these shortcomings could be addressed via software updates. I just wasn't willing to have a $325 hole in my pocket till then.

Blake you should have held out before you returned the watch bro lol since it is rooted and there is a custom rom for it you can do all kinds of things With it if your phone had bluetooth tethering you can Tether Internet to it and everything
