Got mine yesterday and so far would not recommend this watch to anybody. It has given me nothing but troubles. The community edition app kept freezing my watch so I'm using Noah's meta watch app and purchased augmented smart watch pro for extra functions.
The most irritating trouble I am facing apart from the freezes is with the phone call screen and messaging screen. When receiving calls or messages I cannot go back to the original or 1st screen. In addition none of my buttons under the action screen works.
I also purchased one for the misses to be used with the iphone. Does not crash or freeze but is useless with the limited functions available. Watch does not even vibrate during incoming calls even though I have enabled this feature. Her music control functions and toggling between screens works and seems smooth (mine does not work on android). Again the downside for her is with the limited functions and connectivity issues. It keeps disconnecting and connecting.
Now I am stuck with 2 useless watches. I wear mine only because I purchased it. I'm thinking of just placing it back in the box because I am about to lose my mind.

I hear you! The recommended unpairing the and removing the BT connection, Hold the two middle buttons, uninstall the Metawatch Manager app and reinstall and reboot the phone as way to alleviate the freezing issues. Not sure it really helped me much but worth a shot.
The Augmented Smartwatch Pro app is good, but introduced new issues. I think the problem of the watch not going back to the 1st screen may be induced by the Augmented Smartwatch App. It has caused similar issues for me. I also started getting a four quadrant grid oh my phone after installing the Aumented Smartwatch app. I finally disabled it, and plan to contact the developer and see if there is a solution.
My watch only froze once today, not good but better than the 2 - 3 a day I have been experiencing scene getting it four days ago.
Another issue I'm having is battery life. I don't think I would make it through 24 hours. That to me is a big deal If I get up early for a trip I need it to make it until I can put it on the charger later that night. I took it off the charger today around 11 or 11:30 am and it 10:55 pm and its at 7%. That's unacceptable. Even if the freezing miraculously disappears and everything starts to work perfectly, the battery life means I can't rely on it to get the job done.
It did work pretty well today after the first freeze (around lunch time) and after I disabled Augmented Smartwatch App. But like I said the battery life still makes it something I can use. I'm also under no illusion that the freezing has been fixed.
I just got my Sony Smartwatch i few hours ago. I'll give my impression once I've had a few days. I should have a Motoactv in the next 3 - 4 days also.
Anyone who had a positive experience with the Metawatch please chime in and offer any advice that may help us make this device worthwhile.
