G+_Shawn Co Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just got the Asus zen watch a couple weeks ago finally. Loving the battery life. Only down to 75% off the charger after 9 hours as opposed to 30% or even drained from original galaxy gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dan Scott Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Love my Moto 360. I find it funny when guests on TWiT start gushing about how they've heard from their sources that the Apple Watch revolutionises life by letting you just glance at your wrist to get a notification, and Leo Laporte? tells them "you're right, but I've been able to do that with Android Wear for months!" and the guests typically dismiss him because Apple. Shouldn't journalists actually be curious about all (okay, both, or three if you count Pebble) of the major platforms so they can make informed commentary instead of just knee-jerk gushing over what Apple hasn't even shipped yet? Luckily we're in AAA land where the hosts and guests are informed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_L I Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Journalists especially tech journalists are hardly ever accountable to anyone except tech bloggers because the typical groups that hold mainstream journalists to account ignore these niches unless some big sorry bubbles up like the Foxconn stories. Apple has power over consumers, journalists need access and Apple is quick to close the curtain if these guys get out of line so they consciously or unconsciously perpetuate the reality distortion field. Every other tech company needs the media but the media needs Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_R.C. Curtright Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah pretty much been ignoring all that stuff. Even though I don't even have a watch yet. I consider those numbers impressive for basically unproven technology with in only a few months of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
