Thanks. Done
Much difference between this and the newer one?
nothing else but water resistant level
- GPS
- Water Proof vs Water Resitant
- Dual Core vs Single Core Processor
- Brighter Display
The processor is the same in S1 and S2 series.
Update: I was wrong, the processor is different. Although it still has 2 cores and not one.
If you go for a run and want to track your path, distance etc, you'll need to bring your phone with you because the Watch relies on the gps on the phone, which the watch itself doesn't have.
If you look at your watch on a very sunny day, it may be hard to read the screen as the brightness isn't as bright as the series 2.
Isn't water resistant compared to series 2 which is up to 50m
That's all I can think of right now
after telstra samsung gear s2 deal for $98 just mins ago, this seems to be extremely unattractive deal.
oh well, apples vs oranges. what a wonderful fruits….Why they still sell this older generation watch…. water resistance is pretty impt, unless you never wash your hand 😵
Btw, I own the newer one, it's as fragile as anything
I've got a series two too, but it's never seemed the slightest bit fragile to me.
Fragile in what way?
I gently bumped the screen on edge of rock and it cracked…. no watch I've owned in the past would've cracked Yes yes, u shouldn't smash your watch on a rock
I've been wearing a series one daily for 18 months without giving it any special favours and it's still looking good and working well. Only thing I found is the sports band gave me a bit of irritation in hot and sweaty weather. I switched to a nylon band which is so more comfortable and stylish although it does need a wash in warm soapy water occasionally.
Sports band stretches a little too
I bought the series 2 version from their eBay store when there was 15% off yesterday. There was postage but still saved a fair amount.
how much did you pay and was it 38 or 42mm?
$493.55 42mm rose gold
this is a garbage price for series 1. save up and get a series 2 that is actually more useable and functional.
OP add this in your post as well
