Schoolboy responses from you two are as regular as my Watch

dpb, I think I've used the on watch map once or twice, the taps for left and right are great though, really great. I guess Maps must be a great feature as it's just been added to Android Wear, but it only works with Android watches that have GPS, which is one I think and good luck with the battery.

Jon, one of those is correct, I do get phantom taps, pretty sure its the strap. If you see anyone suffering from Lonely Heartbeat Syndrome then tell them to add themselves as a favourite, then send messages and heartbeats to themselves, it's actually very odd feeling your heartbeat on your wrist.

I should mention that Watch received an update in the week, that's one more than most Android phones will see this year.

Weak software = many updates.

I don't need to, but have done since the early 90's. Good for you if you don't have a mobile phone.

You could say that but it would show a severe lack of knowledge. As an experiment, set up one Windows machine and don't update it and another but keep it up to date, which has the better defences? Which is the weaker?

But you can ride your bike underwater with the Ambit, so it's better. Who needs music and vibration let alone music on the watch itself and the wonder that is the taptic engine.

Youre no position jack since you wont get your heart rate during your underwater cycling , or indeed underwater anything

Good going if you can hear your music collection underwater though

2gb of the 8gb dedicated to music, that's about 500 songs, which unless you're a certain underwater athlete should suffice.

Delivery window is 27th May - 9th June and as yet no update to order status, so I doubt it will be tomorrow

Would be nice if it were here by Friday as I'm in Ireland next week...

Fingers crossed for you, Black Sport is definitely the most popular, I read about people cancelling it and going Stainless to get an earlier delivery.

The good news is it's better now than it was and App developers are starting to move away from click baiting to better info on the watch itself.

Tosh, received two major lollipop updates in the last couple of months on my S5. And not just security/bug fixes, extra functionality to.

Not tosh at all, latest figures showed 0.8% of Android phones running the latest software and 80% over a year out of date. This compares to over 80% of iPhones running the latest version.

0.8% lol that seems very low, anyway that's dependent on the handset, user's choice and lots of other variables. I know quite a few people who are happy with Kitkat and haven't updated, at least they have the choice to do so

That 0.8% is for 5.1 which is google/nexus only devices, LP 5.0 which is on the majority of phones has had 9% uptake so far, not forgetting it isn't a year old yet. KK remains the public's choice with 40% share.

Nice, add yourself to favourites then you can practice drawing ***** and *****. And remember to unlock it on your wrist, I got my first paragliding flight in this evening and had let someone try it before I took off, data would have been interesting.
