Hey, thanks for the alert.
Is anyone buying this or am I the only sucker?
I bought 2. One for me, and one for a friend of mine who is going to show me stuff on it
He rang me and asked me would i be able to get it for him. He saw it on another site and was afraid they would sell out. I don't know the other site, but they must have been getting a lot of attention for him to think that.0 -

Took the plunge. Looks like its a dev kit that is being end of lifed. Only has two small display areas but I think for 40e it'll be a great tool to play around with. If I can get the display areas to show who is calling me and who has sent an sms I'll be more than happy 0

I ordered the one. Not sure if it will work on my phone Nexus 4 - 4.3. But i'll find a home(phone) for it. I'll have to call around to yours for training on it!
My paypal was coming up as €39.something so I paid in dollars to see if my credit card will convert for cheaper.
I'll be so cool and in with the hip crowd with my smart(ish) watch :cool:.
Edit: Any clips of this working online?
Found one
Nipped out for a bit.
I found a bit of info.

I entered my Friends company, but surely you could put anything? (Boards.iedeaglan169 wrote: »what did you enter for company information when registering, i presume customs will get their cut also
)
Duty will only be a couple of euro if caught.
There is another that is initially nicer looking, but the code doesn't work. I would have gone for that one, but i think i'd be happier with the one i have, it's more of a 'classic' design.0 -

I bit the bullet. I put in my employers website as the company one, hope they dont mind. Must figure out what to do with it now. Anyone have a rough guess on delivery time?
They use DHL, so maybe 1-2 weeks?

Also, because it's DHL, that almost definitely means we'll get charged an extra €8 at the door.

Not the best video, but it gives you an idea of the functions it can perform. It doesn't perform them all in this video, it only seems to show SMS, but maybe this person had only set up basic stuff at that stage.

So, you get this and......
Put in on your wrist.
Pair it with your phone in your pocket.
You get a message to your phone ( which beeps or vibrates in your pocket ).
The watch does the same.
You then remove phone from pocket and answer ( or not ) the received message. 0 -
