Hello, I am looking to buy my first smartwatch. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really like features such as a camera and handsfree. But the only one I found so far with both of those are the Galaxy Gear 2. It looks like a good watch, but I'd rather have a watch that runs Android Wear.
Thanks in advance.

You can either chose between the G Watch or the Gear live. Both very similar, mostly design differences.
G Watch has bigger battery.
Gear Live has heartbeat sensor and amoled display.
That's the difference, everything else apart from the design is the same. So if you want an android wear watch there's not much to chose from.

If I were you, I'd rather wait for the Moto 360. Though it doesn't have a camera, it still would pack in some of the best features otherwise. If you are in ahurry to lay your hands on a watch, you could go for the Gear 2, its a great watch too.
Here at XDA, we typically do not allow threads like these to remain open as these type questions truly can only be answered by the individual and based on their own research and reading of the information here on the threads. "Best" device or "best" anything is really in the eye of the beholder.
I read lot's of good info under this post, but I would like to ask what would be the best move to buy for $100?
I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, so it will be so easy to check my wrist instead of pulling that monster out of my packet every time. Also I am looking something "classy" looking watch face , please help me out. Will be a good choice the Smart Q Z?
SmartQ Z isn't really what I'd call a classy design. Are you looking for something with calling features? Or just a watch that can give you notifications? If you're looking for calling features, I'd probably go with a LX36 Galaxy Gear 2 clone (dhgate.com). It's a dumbwatch, meaning it runs a j2me system, not full Android, but, it has notifications and calling. If you're looking for notifications and mini-apps, I'd pick up a Sony Smartwatch 2 off of ebay. They're going for right around $100 these days and has a classier design. Other than that, there's not much on the market for $100.

Check out the elegance u8 thread
What I am looking for ,something has a design look , clear screen, has a built in camera (works itself not as remote) & I can use for saving pdf or notes for test in the class.. Large enough screen to see it, not necessary a standalone device, answer phone call would be a plus ,but I am not expecting a lot about that considering to the noise reduction , etc.. Would be nice with an app for running , or hearth reading
Other than that , I don't really care...

So...basically you want a watch that has everything. Kingelon K2, which is a Galaxy Gear 1 clone, is the only one that's going to fit your price range. Doesn't have the heart rate monitor, but, it has the camera and can save pdf/notes. It runs full Android. It can be found at dhgate.com as well.
Yes , that Star Kingelon K2 really looks nice, but I couldn't find on Ebay, I know Vifocal.com was selling under $90, but they are out of stock. Also I was reading about it , and they saying the battery holds for only 6h??
What about ZGPAX S5 or S6?

K2 can be found on dhgate.com from numerous sellers. ZGPAX S5 and S6 aren't what I would call a classy design and are both standalone phones with no sync software from the company itself. They also both run an outdated Android 4.04 operating system out of the box.

The more functionality a watch has = less battery life. And vice versa so you have to make a choice which you prefer.
The WeLoop gives 2-3weeks but with basic functions and the opposite side you have the Gear S.

So why is the Star Kingelon K2 is better than the original Samsung gear watch is cheaper now ? K2 around $100 SG is around $90-100.
Is the K2 knows more things?

Samsung Gear 1 is supposed to only work with Samsung phones. There are some mods to get it working on non-Samsung phones, but, notifications are screwy without additional notification software like Tablet Talk. Not to mention, the Gear 1 received an update which converted the watch over to Tizen rather than Android. Tizen has a long way to go in terms of functionality and apps compared to Android.
It seems it would be a lot less hassle to just get a watch that would be supported on your non-Samsung device out of box and one that runs Android by default. That's the K2.
Thank you for all of you , I just need to find one now for a better price? 1 more question, is the K2 has an option to read pdf ?

I don't think you're going to find a better price. You're asking a lot for such a small price. The K2 runs full Android so yes, it can read PDFs. You may have to download an app to read them if support isn't there out of box. But, yeah, it'll do a PDF.
Thank You again. The cheapest I found is $110.87 free shipping.

It's a Umeox OEM watch. Sold under numerous names like Omate Truesmart. It's a stand alone phone. Not worth it according to many Omate users.

If I were you I would buy the Galaxy Gear... Keep it on android and install the SWApp Link app on your Phone and Smartwatch, instead of using Samsung's notification system and problem solved. Galaxy Gear looks great, superb OLED screen, and fast GPU and Processor, its basically an underclocked Galaxy S2
I was in the market for buying a stand alone watch, And I saw the D5+ to be great, So any one tried it?, or tried the D5?, would they recommend it?, Does it have any deal breaking issue that I should know of? does they have any other recommendations? I really want to hear your opinion!
Thanks in advance
The D5 + ist quite new. Look here for a video from smartwatch ticks : https://youtu.be/Ck0bJxcNLLg

Hi,
I am interested on buying x3+ for running. I have doubts, maybe you could help me?
Are running apps running well?
Is a problem de round shape? On running apps?
Does gps have good precision?
Finally. Is heart rate sensor working good? Even running? Can you keep it on during long time?
Thanks for all,
Luis Puig
did you know if it works with running apps ?
nike running or endomondo ?
is it water resistant ? so it would be sweat resistant ?
The new X5 Plus

Running apps work perfect.
There are many apps compatible with round shape. so no worries.
GPS is good. gets locked fast.
Hear rate monitor is nice and fast but it doesnt rate continuously.
I recommend this watch if you want a real watch like feel.
Hi:
I'm also considering one of these 2 watch to buy (the X5+ or the D5+), or even other to buy. The X5+ has the advantage to have the amoled screen, but the no.1 seems to have more support (or at least i can't seem to find any support and firmware page on the finow website).
The watch will be used for receiving notifications from my Android phone and to track my sports activity (running), using sports tracker and C25K applications (heart rate will be monitored by an heart rate band - polar HR-7).
So, what do you guys suggest?

What you have done here is collected just about all the copyright protected faces and launchers ever made and distributed them without permission.
You do not own any of them. You did not make any of them and you have been reported - not just to the XDA admin team but to outside agencies as well.
What did you think you were doing ? It's a blatant act of piracy .......
Hello guys, As the title say I want to buy cheap 3d printer and found this one on aliexpress - https://aliexpress.com/e/_DBj9zF7
What do you think about quality? What about price? Thanks guys, every suggestion is wellcome!
@Nikson4200 . Sorry for the late reply , but I did not realize that we´ve gotten a 3d printing section in here, untill now..
Okay, so I have this printer myself, and It´s a fabulous little printer, with direct drive .
The only drawback , is the limited size of the buildplate (180x180mm) . If you plan on printing covers for bigger phones, you will probably miss 5-10mm extra of build plate space.
Kingroon has a Pro model, where the buildplate is 200x200mm. It´s more expensive though.
So much depends on , how tight your budget is, and the size of items you plan on printing.
On the plus side: The smaller the bed/buildplate, the less power consumption
