First let me talk about the Cons with this product you do also need to buy the additional Wi-Fi kit or connect. If not this lock only works via Bluetooth and is not a good option.
Very easy to install and pretty much any front door just take off your top deadbolt and this mounts on the back. Works with my wink Hub also integrates with Google Assistant. Runs on two double a batteries and have had no issues little slower to find lock and unlock than I would like but hopefully that will work that out.
If you're looking for a good easy option this is it

Have outdoor cam and nest thermostat and app works beautifully. Camera will alert you if someone is spotted when you're away or when you're home you can choose push notifications and email notifications. Will also record video for a day and you can scroll through and see footage. Go get one you won't regret it

Let me start off by saying I've never installed a thermostat before. This is idiot proof. Videos, pictures, comes with labels.for wires. Shut off breaker for ac and heating install and set. May electric company will give you rebate or cover as well. No cons just buy it. App is awesome and easy to use and saves money.

Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.

Let me 1st say, I have tried most smart watches out. Galaxy gear, lg gwatch, samsung gear live, moto 360 now the lg gwatch r.
The Gwatch R is by far my favorite out.
Pros:
Looks
Get ready for compliments and questions. The beautiful thing about this smart watch is it looks like a regular watch at 1st glance.
Always on screen
One of the main things I love about this watch is the option for always on screen. No blank screen here. Each watch face as its unique always on screen/watch face.
Watch Faces
This has some of the nicest watch faces on the market.
All have great function and look very sporty. Think of Formula 1 tag .
Screen
Plastic oled screen. This screen blows away any smart watch screen on the market. Bright, vibrant and great thing about oled, it only lights the pixels it needs and keeps rest dark, that is how it archives amazing battery in always on mode.
Feel
Has a very nice quality feel with all metal design
Swapable bands
The thing I love about this watch is the design where you can use any band. The moto 360 had a poor design where the watch band was installed behind the plastic back. The design resulted in 2 cracking backs and on my 2nd, returned my moto 360 for the gwatch r. Band is standard 22mm and will take any regular band on the market.
Battery
As I write this, my watch started at 100% battery at 9am. Its now 11:45 pm and I use my watch heavly. On my moto 360, I would be in the teens for battery with the always on screen feature off. Right now, with heavy use, my battery reads 49% and that's with always on screen.
Charging cradle
Unfortunately, there is not qi charging but the dock lg uses for its watches is a close second. Simply set your watch on included charger and in around an hour, your fully charhed.
Latest specs:
Moto 360 opted for outdated Texas instruments CPU. Lg opted for snapdragon 400. Faster, snappier and quicker overal oh, and with better battery life to boot.
Android wear OS
This watch like the moto 360, gear live, Asus zen watch and lg gwatch is all powered by Googles latest OS android wear. Uses google now voice recognition and voice commands and makes Samsung's svoice look like outdated software. Dead on with the best voice recognition software out and a rapidly growing app store. This is the future of smart watch OS's.
Cons:
No qi charging
I was spoiled with my moto 360 qi charger but I'm over it.
Bottom line if you want a very sport smart watch that looks like a regular watch at 1st glance and will get you through what I'm guessing pretty close to 2 days, and able to use any watch band, this is your best bet.
Android wear is almost in beta and will only get better with time.
Go for it, you won't regret it.

What's great about it: See below
What's not so great: See Below
Before I get into this review, Let me say this. I owned the LG G watch for 3 weeks & just now picked up the Samsung Gear live.
1st ill go over PROS, CONS. My 1st day of very heavy usage, then my final thoughts.
Pros:
-Screen: OLED screen. More vibrant than competitors(LG). Higher resolution.
-Finish: The brushed aluminum just gives it a nice finishing touch & makes it seem more stylish and refined.
-Fit: The way this watch fits. Its curved to fit your wrist. That and its so light, you will forget you have it on.
-Watch Faces: Gives a few extra really nice faces to choose from that you don't get with the G Watch
-Band: The way the band seamlessly fits against or into the bezel. Also, if you choose to, like the g watch, you can buy & install and band.
Cons:
-Charging Dock: This is where LG knocked it out of the park. Samsung went with some weird plastic snap on charging system vs LG dock where you just place the watch onto it.
Clasp: I love the band, how it fits into the watch but how the clasp is designed is odd. Takes some practice to close and get used too.
1 day of Heavy Usage
My day started at 7:30am and its now 11pm. 15.5 hours. Right now, I'm sitting at 7% battery remaining. If I still had my LG G Watch, I would guess I would be at about 15% maybe as high as 20% but 15.5 hours is a long day. This includes heavy txt by voice, calls by voice, Gmail, Facebook, lookout, pintrest, cloud magic, Google voice txt, and Facebook messenger notifications all day. I work in sales and have customers contact me plus 24 sales guys that contact me, my fellow managers, corps ect so when I say heavy usage, that is what I mean.
Tomorrow, I'm going to turn screen down from 4 to 3 brightness & see how battery is. I'm guessing it will give me a bit more left after a crazy long day like my LG Watch did.
With EITHER watch, you will charge it at night. Wake up its done. Charging is very fast. Maybe 2hours for a full charge.
Sure maybe with the Moto 360 when it comes out will give you better and the LG does give you a bit more now but I'm happy with the Samsung.
Why do I like it better? More vibrant screen, high resolution, clearer screen, easier to read in sunlight etc. OLED blows away LCD in G watch. Fits wrist better, lighter and love the style over the LG.
Bottom line, its $199, $30 cheaper than G Watch and moto 360 should be in $300-$400 price range.
Yes I will probably get one but for $199 its a bargain.
Don't wait get one here asap.

Charger Included?

Does the refurbished model come with the cradle charger? The description mentions just the watch and lithium ion battery, but no mention of the charging cradle.
Get the gear live. Will last you all day and the voice software Google now BLOWS away Samsung's own svoice. Plus it works with any android phone and for $199 its a steel new.

Yes you can talk on the non android wear Samsung versions but with terrible svoice to use, you will become frustrated and not use it anymore.

Can you answer your phone as you can with the gear 2?

Yes. You can say call _____________(____ equals the name of the contact how its listed in your contacts in Gmail/Google) same as Google now. Same goes for txt. Its scary good. However when you answer or call, you talk through you phone . With Android wear it feeds from Google now.

Think of this as a way to glance at your watch instead of taking your phone out of your pocket every time you miss a call, get voice mail, email, Facebook message etc.

Just look at your watch, then reply by voice if you like and since it uses Google now for voice, its blow away sir, s voice ect.

gear live vs. gear 1 or 2

I would like to know what are the pros and cons of the GEAR LIVE compared to the GEAR 1 and 2?
See my review I just posted.

Gear live works with ANY android, not just only 2 Samsung phones and the voice with Google now BLOWS away Samsung's S VOICE! Not even in the same ballpark.

I know the lg g watch is now out in Best Buys, but does anyone know when Best Buy is suppose to finally have the gear live in stock, in stores? thanks
Its here already. If the store show it has it, goes there and if they say they don't have it, have the search item number and find it for you. Its hidden way somewhere and NOT on display
