Martian Notifier hybrid smartwatch on DEEP Discount!

For whatever reason, Fedex handed my watch off to USPS yesterday, even though they deliver to my house. I'm assuming it has something to do with the package size. In any case, it should be waiting for me when I got home at lunch time if all goes well. Will be putting all of your info to good use.

It's called Smart Post. All 3 major shippers have it where they carry the package to a certain point then hand it off to USPS for delivery. I see it often from Amazon on smaller packages that aren't electronics, such as socks and survival gear. It'll ship out of the distribution center about 10 miles from my house but take days ,1 ups the other 2 USPS.
Anyway,I charged mine last night at bed time and for whatever reason it stopped at 72% during the night. I unplugged it, plugged it back in and it filled up the rest of the way in about an hour.

Doesn't seem all that smart, considering, depending on which way they come into town, they're potentially bringing packages literally right past my house to drop them off at the Post Office. Haha!

Oh well. At least it should be here today. Was originally estimated to be here tomorrow. Hopefully USPS doesn't drop the ball.
 
Its more beneficial to whoever is paying the shipping cost, because its substantially cheaper, at the cost of speed of course. Smart being economical.

And the packages are handed off to the post office before they get into town, at a smart post hub typically.

Other observations:
Not a fan of the band, actually. The rubber likes to grab the desk while I'm working.
Battery life is great.
Notifications not as fast as Android Wear. Lags compared to AW.

Further reference for anyone who stumbles upon this thread later & considers this watch. Here it is next to my LG Watch Urbane.

For you guys who were rocking Android Wear devices, did you have AW forget your watch? Wondering if it'll continue searching for my Urbane while I'm trying the Martian out.

Will do later. I'm back at work now & only brought the Martian back. Just updated the firmware.

The one time I selected Forget My watch...my phone never connected to it again. I had to FDR my watch to get it to reconnect. Maybe it was just my watch, but wanted to let you know that.

I was kind of afraid that that would be the case. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll deal with it and see what happens.
 
If I have to reset the watch, I'll wait until I get my 6P back to use my Urbane again, since I just reset it to work with the S3.

My 360 is still connected.

Both my S and Notifier stay connected at the same time too.
I wore the S to work, walked in the house this evening and my Notifier led flashed red and the notification area had Martian scroll across it when I walked into my den. It was sitting on the arm of the sofa and the bright red light made me notice it. S stayed connected after Notifier auto connected. I've also disconnected the S and it connected back just fine with Notifier already connected.

Thickness is only slightly more than my Urbane. Tried to get a pick, but you can barely tell that the Martian is thicker.
