WatchIt vs Augmented Smartwatch Pro

[stopa10]

Both these two applications can push notifications from all apps on the phone. WatchIt is free, ASP is not, but it is more powerful, since it has Tasker integration, and can do more.

Which one are use using, and what are the pros/cons over the other?

Are there other alternatives?

I don't want to get eye cancer so I'm using WatchIt. (Augmented SmartWatch really looks awful to me.) For Tasker, there's the Tasker Smart Extension and WatchIt! will also display notifications from Tasker.

If you want to do more complex stuff, you can always use Remote Widget and Zoom for Tasker do use interactive widgets from the SW2.

Yes, the look and feel of Augmented Smartwatch is ugly...

For some reason Augmented Smartwatch causes my S4 to lock up. I've worked some with the developer, and I even reset my phone. My s$ locks up for about 20 seconds when a notification comes in, and my watch goes blank. Eventually the notification pops up on the watch. From what little I have been able to use it, it actually is too much IMHO. Watchit! is simple and generally what I need.

I'm very want to use ASP because of ASP's powerful function and full screen show notification when running app on watch.
But it can't show Full-width characters well. (like "ｃｈａｒ")
While showing long string of Full-width, it will only show one line and beyond the watch, but not word wrap.
May ASP author can fix this error, certainly i will purchase this app and using as well.

Watchit seems to be ok, but I did have a problem with that. My Note 10.1 (touchwiz?) / A4.1.2 started talking back to me when the easy accessibility was on for Watchit (and talkback was off). I think I managed to fix it by the way i found it from another discussion: need to clear data from google text to speech app. (When the easy access is still on for Watchit - otherwise it will keep talking back). Seems to work great!

Watchit

I bought the ASP application, but I do not use .... Why?:

1.- Text is infamous
2.- I have not gotten to see pictures of Whatsapp
3.- Notices of whatsapp can not be selected for viewing (Watchit can)
4.- Weather is bad
5.- Watchit.... Free
6.- ASP....4,99 €

Undoubtedly watchit

Have to agree with the majority here, i tried ASP but its sooo ugly and takes a bit of configuration, watchit works well, quickly and does what you want.
Both apps arnt perfect but free vs £3 is a no brainer

tbh alot of things are workarounds for what sony could develop and implement but havnt

If the galaxy gear wasnt so damn expensive, i'd have one instead

Seems like I need to clear data from Google text-to-speech everytime I restart the phone - otherwise my phone is talking back to me when scrolling screens. Well, a minor bug... I rarely shutdown/restart the phone anyway. Some other thing I notice that WatchIt (or sw2? not sure) interacts with developer sections choices somehow, mixing the settings so that phone doesnt know if they are turned on or off and you need to restart your phone. (Note 10.1 / A4.1.2)

When compairing SW2 and Gear, Im so lucky that Samsung didn't update my N8000 before Xmas (Gear needs A4.3 to run), I would have bought Gear aswell. BUT... SW2 looks much better than Gear, and it feels great on your wrist (a metal band) and I couldnt even wear Gear at work (water/chemicals/not wearable with a suit or better clothes either). I don't need functions like "talk to the hand!" or similar.. Just plain, classy-looks watch to notify me: phones, sms, etc... because I keep my phone (N8000) all the time in a bag, and i rarely even hear when it rings or get messages. And if I heard it rings, i didnt know who's calling.

SW2 and Gear were almost the same price: 199 euros (metal band) / 249 euros, so it wasn't the "money issue". The quality and style of SW2 is impressive and I feel lucky that I didnt bought Gear. Thank you Samsung you didn't update my device! :victory:

Wristin is another alternative.

Two things with Watchit! and every other sw2 notification app I've tried. 1st, you can't mark the notification as viewed on the phone, when checked on the watch. And secondly, text grouping. Would be nice to have each contacts in their own thread. If anyone knows of solutions to these or another app which has these features it would be much appreciated

Cheers

Is there any SW2 notification app that does this? I'm thinking about replacing my Pebble with the Sony but if this functon is missing, I probably wouldn't.

On the Pebble, there's an app called Notification Center that allows you dismiss the phone notification with one button and keep the phone notification with a press of the other button.

Not that I've found

I've heard the ap watch notifier can do that. But I haven't tried it.
I think it's in Google play

In the description for that app, it only mentions that your watch notifications will be marked as read when you turn on your phone display. Doesn't work the other way around I don't think.

I am using "WatchNotifier" as well. Great App.

If you only need whatsapp notification on your smartwatch then you can try WhatsApp Smart Notification. It also displays the contact picture and UI is good.

I am using Notification Pro for Smartwatch and I love it. The support is fantastic as the developer updates it very often.

I haven't been able to find this Notification pro on the Play Store. Can you give us any pointers?
