The SW2 has an extremely readable screen even under strong sunlight at the lowest brightness setting. Feeling curious, I decided to read up on its transreflective screen. Apparently it helps to reduce power consumption by using light reflecting off its pixels to improve readability, rather than relying on a backlight.

If someone comes up with a transreflective screen with colour reproduction and contrast similar to Apple's retina displays, we may see longer batt life of mobile phones in the future and less energy consumption for everyone. Amazing.

Syncs with any Android smartphones and provides call, text, alarm, calendar, and social media alerts. And it shows the time too.

Imagine a simple Casio digital watch, with phone alerts via vibration on your wrist.

Casio has already Gshocked it:
BLUETOOTH WATCH - G-SHOCK - CASIO

Jimmy will bring in the screen protector for Smartwatch 2 and stock will be in soon.

For me, I customize it at DataFlex for their Hi Resolution and Anti Finger Print at $15, if you want cheaper one then wait for Jimmy's stock.

Just connect your watch to your phone and it will upgrade the firmware on your watch, there are some preset watch faces included in new firmware.

You can have new watch face by 3rd party developers but you have to pay for it and some might drain your watch battery.

Thanks, I upgraded the firmware. Still not satisfied with the watch face :-(
Any nice and free watch face recommend?

The Pro version for this Watch Face looks good but you have to pay for it.

I see, that is because they come out an app to perform such functions but if you search in the playstore for apps for smartwatch 2, you can find many apps over samsung gear.

Anyone uses the Runtastic Pro? Manage to register the code, but still Runtastic. No pro. Try using Walking, but distance still remain zero.
