Lets talk Apple Watch!

You can already get discounts on some models of the Apple Watch.

 

For example on eBay Deals today they have a $599 model for $519:

Free shipping and no tax for most. So there are deals available now and so I'd expect deals on BF as well. Last year eBay was a great place for deals on iPads & iPhones during November. That should be the same with the watch this year I'd guess.

I'm really thinking about one for my wife, I got her a FitBitHR but have been thinking about getting her something a little more full featured. I have looked at some of the Android Wear ones but we have a lot of apple gear so figure that may be better for her. Not my sort of device but she may like it.

If she wanted to use the GPS on the Apple Watch while running, she has to take the phone with her. Otherwise, it'll work as a pedometer and heart rate meter. (calibrate first.)

Can a Apple watch work on a Samsung Galaxy S5? I can not find anywhere a Samsung smartwatch every store I go into is no longer carrying smartwatchs. 

 

 

Nope, Apple Watches only work with iPhones.

 

I'm interested in something for Android, as well.  My wife has been looking at the fitbits recently and maybe there's something that's a FitBit, plus more.  I haven't really done any research on them, but if anyone has a resource for Android-compatible wearables, that'd be awesome.

I bought the FitBitHR for my wife they have one that does other things but it seems HUGE so we passed on that which is why I'm looking at the Apple Watch for her. I need to see how big it is to see if she will wear it.

Thank for, shouldn't be an issue she always has her phone with here. She may leave the purse at home but not the phone lol

FitBit makes another one more advanced past the HR, or there's another Android-compatible product?

Ya the larger FitBit one I think is called Surge. I'm pretty sure the Motorola Smart watches are all android compatible. Google also sells different ones on the Android Wear store. Should give you some options.

Cool, thanks. That'll help get me started.

 

There are smart watches for galaxy phones. The are called galaxy gear s,my husband wants one so I need to do more research. I do know that you can't make phone calls.

 

I need to do more research, too!!  Lol. I doubt my wife will want to make phone calls from her watch.....
