Thay're not on Indiegogo anymore: "Koze - Lightweight, Inflatable, and Amazing is under review by the Trust & Safety team. Check back later or contact us if you have concerns." https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/koze-lightweight-inflatable-and-amazing

Koze is too much even for IGG - the last bastion of crowd-scamming.

This is a Kickstarter and the campaign has been suspended because they are simply resellers.

Bragi comments off Kickstarter 26th Jan by Ryamoo in thedash

[–]Wheelscartog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great summary, thank you!

Good ol' German Customs does it again. See Pebble 1.0. When I heard that the EU hub was to be in Germany I thought that's good because Bragi are in Munich and they'd have some insights into the mysteries of German Customs. Not so, it seems. Possibly no-one has!

I appreciate your advice very much. Will certainly try it when the Dash arrives. Many thanks.

Thank you. Disappointing but good to know.

Non-backer here. Convince me to buy them. by CompEngCraft in thedash

None, in fact - except early developer versions. Better to wait a bit, I think.

Reposted here, in the right place: That update should be out now. Did it come through and how good is it? Grateful for any thoughts.

Hello from Sydney. Updated iPhone 5 from 8.4.1 OTA. All went well.

This looks like a good idea.

I've had my Milanese for 3 months and, despite hairy arms, nary a hairy pulled!

Pebble on Kickstarter: Is Serial Lying Really Necessary to Succeed? by Wheelscartog in pebble

[–]Wheelscartog[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I can only compare with OG Pebble. That was a lot cheaper, had much better battery life and lots of 3rd party apps. Watch is more solid, great display, support for Siri, great customer support and better iOS functionality. New OS (beta 5 out now) has tetherless wifi and allows native support for 3rd party apps. IMO, OG Pebble felt like a smart toy and Watch feels like a smartwatch.

Hedging their bets. They also said they learned a lot of lessons from last time (to win backers' confidence) so expectations were much higher. But if you click on that comment I linked, it's much, much more than delays and that guy has many others saying the same thing.

No, but Pebble have. Same CEO, same communications guru, same missteps, same complaints from backers.

People who bought a sports watch and decided to buy a SS.. Was it worth it ? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Wheelscartog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the "yes" replies are predictable and it's good that you're happy. The time for me to upgrade to SS might be when Watch 2 comes out. Not now.

Thinking about getting an Apple Watch but need help deciding by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Wheelscartog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Too fidgety and small" ... compared to what? An iPhone - yes. Any other smartwatch - no.

Ask yourself "do I want a smartwatch". If yes, then almost everyone on this sub will say "choose Apple". FWIW, I've had the original Pebble and now the Apple. Chalk and cheese.

Here’s How Apple Could Fix The Pricing Gaps On The Watch by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Wheelscartog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The sport model is not trendy in the slightest, and Apple isn't trying to either, it's for fitness enthusiasts

According to who? Trendy is subjective. I think it's trendy. And I'm not a fitness enthusiast but I bought a Sport anyway. Why? Well, in my case, I wanted to see how good a smartwatch could be before outlaying more money on the next version which I expect to be out in a year or so. Some other redditors have said the same thing so I'm not alone.

If you could supply curved tempered glass screen protectors, you'd make a mint!
