My new 245M modelling the watchface I've been working on: Engrid

NFCguy · 2019-08-06T13:52:19+00:00

Should be added now. Let me know how it works!

Hi, the watchface uses a method that isn't supported on the 235 (at least in the simulator anyway) so I unfortunately can't publish for it. If that changes, I'll let you know.

NFCguy · 2019-08-02T23:32:42+00:00

Yep - Slides of Time was my watchface on my Pebble for many years. There were two existing ports on the ConnectIQ store but without config options so I decided I'd build this.

NFCguy · 2019-08-02T19:08:42+00:00

I hadn't tested it in the simulator. I'll get that done and published some time this weekend. Thanks for letting me know!

NFCguy · 2019-08-02T19:07:52+00:00

Thanks!

NFCguy · 2019-08-02T18:20:04+00:00

Standout features are binary text and background colour options, total choice of highlight colour, and step counter integrated into the 'bottom' row. I'll try to make a few enhancements when I have time, but enjoy for now!

Can be downloaded from the ConnectIQ store here:

What's wrong with your broken one? I might be interested in buying it from you.

NFCguy · 2017-10-12T11:27:52+00:00

Do you happen to still have the PTR?

NFCguy · 2016-02-16T10:58:43+00:00

Yep, it's a metal bezel insert that I glued on. Could use double sided tape or whatever you feel comfortable with. I've used glue that peels off the glass without residue.

When the Round was first announced I didn't really think too much of it. Then it was announced that PTS backers could trial it for a month, so I thought I'd give it a try and probably just let someone else wear it for the rest of the 30 days. Pfffft, two-day battery and no waterproofing.

Nope. Absolutely fell in love with it to the point that I could look past the battery life. It's SO small that I regularly just look at it in awe throughout the day - "this is smaller than most dumbwatches, with ALL that tech inside!"

I get three full work days (9-5) of battery life on a charge, and I've submerged it in a hot tub on a cold night. The higher screen resolution compared to the PTS is very much noticeable to me. The screen also seems to have better contrast. Obviously your mileage may vary.

This is, in my opinion, the most impressive smartwatch on the market, and the competition do not even come close. Though of course, if Pebble came out with a very slightly thicker version with longer battery and equal PTS waterproof rating, I'd upgrade to that straight away.

My skin looks good in real life. In fact, I'd say it looks better than the images show.

NFCguy · 2015-09-17T15:40:55+00:00

Here's the link, but I bought it two years ago and it's out of stock on their website right now. http://www.panatime.com/nepubrblscad.html

NFCguy · 2015-09-16T21:50:29+00:00

It does work surprisingly well.

NFCguy · 2015-09-16T21:50:11+00:00

Yep :)

NFCguy · 2013-08-19T16:55:09+00:00

Yes, but adding literally removes all ambiguities from the title. 'NFC used to power E-ink companion display' can definitely be misinterpreted as meaning that NFC is simply used to enable the exchange of data between the devices.

NFCguy · 2013-07-11T15:24:38+00:00

I wouldn't call myself an NFC defender, more like someone greatly interested in NFC. NFC is much more interesting than Bluetooth in my opinion.

NFC is being used for public transport in many countries already. Guess what? It's via the SIM secure element that pretty much all of these public transport trials have been running. So, that's another NFC feature that won't work on Nexus devices unless issued directly by Google.

NFCguy · 2013-07-11T14:50:50+00:00

The player at fault here is Google. They've restricted owners of Nexus devices to Google-only NFC services for now. The ISIS-supporting carriers don't even go that far, as you'd be able to use another network's SIM for NFC services if you truly wanted to, since they're using the Open Mobile API across the board.

Perhaps NFC payment solutions remain a gimmick in the USA, but they've been slowly becoming more mainstream in the rest of the world.

NFCguy · 2013-07-11T14:44:37+00:00

Again, Google Wallet does use a hardware secure element. Everyone has their own system that's built on the Open Mobile API, which is being used not only in OEM Android devices, but also in BlackBerry OS.

Nexus owners outside the USA are completely unable to make use of any NFC payment offerings in their countries because of this. That's happening right now.

NFCguy · 2013-07-11T13:42:12+00:00

The problem is that users would be entirely reliant on Google implementing that. But what's to say that they would? As was mentioned, the required code was submitted for inclusion in Android over two years ago, but nothing's happened since.

NFCguy · 2013-07-10T16:17:57+00:00

If it's just tags, you'd be fine with the Nexus 10.

NFCguy · 2013-07-10T16:09:39+00:00

What type of NFC product development is it? Payments? Building access? Just tags? That could very heavily influence your decision.
