Congrats guys, hope it's a step above the rest. It is refreshing to see companies interact with the paying public like that, I know pebble did really well with their campaign, but I'm not sure how open they were to suggestion from the community. Unfortunately (fortunately) I procured a fenix 3...

Very nice! I was hoping to get a free one for nominating the onyx name, but my hints are falling on deaf ears! :p

Just to keep people updated, ticwatch have a special Kickstarter developer incentive

Don't think I'd stay friends with them in r/l....

Early bird offer will apparently be less than $100

Heads up to those interested.. I think the kickstarter campaign is going to start soon. Looks like it could be pretty decent if the hype is anything to go by. Hopefully they'll involve communities like this one in their development, it'd certainly help brand awareness! Edit : In fact they have...

Glad to hear you feel like you've not wasted all that money, how are the watches holding up aesthetically? Any scratches, paint chips, etc? It's a shame about the accelerometer, though I guess you can force rotation? Would you be happy to have your name on the product?

Does flashify work on these watches?

Thanks for that, I'd seen the ticwatch but hadn't realised just how customised the os seems to be - it does look like a step in the right direction, the original being android wear compatible (before restrictions to China). I hope that the international version again goes back to full...

What's the likelihood of porting a decent os to a platform like this? It seems to me as though although the hardware is decent enough, the software is the thing that holds these watches back. AFAIK watches like the Garmin Fenix aren't using android but still interface with android (and maybe...
