@gil_veber ha ha ha - that’s funny
However - there is a lot of truth in what you say. When Ciro and I met in September 2015 there was only one round android watch - the K8 round. This is where it all started https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/k8-3g-round-android-4-4-t3207082
Once we had discovered that custom faces could be added and made by the watch owners, the D5 appeared.
We soon realised that XDA was not the best place for us to display art work and Lokifish Marz opened this community with Ciro and me.
I absolutely believe that if we had not got into these custom faces - the many different watches you see today may not even be here. I know it sounds amazing but - it really IS all about the faces. The rest is just a bonus for most people.
This time last year we had around 2000 members. We now gain around 1000 new members a month. Why - because of the faces …
Yup, got my D5 because I wanted a watch like the one in the Game The Division… Only thing I highly doubt is that those smartwatches really start to take off regarding sales, many manufacturers (gladly for the Wear Category) are planning to leave the Market - Asus dropped the Zenwatch etc. Its mainly chinese Android Watches that you can’t just buy in local stores (at least where I live in…) so you always have to buy them via Internet at the usual sources. And maybe the guys do it like I did - google for the watch they just thought and came out at this cosy little place. And thats where it all begins…
