I use Sony Smartwatch 3. Build-in GPS etc and works with Xensr (where realtime jump display has worked for already for 2 years..
). So it should work with free Xensr App (Apple watch sw) when released and most probably with Woo3.
But smartwatch3 there might be limitation of warranty with salty sea-water. It is IP68 rated when recharge-usb-port-cover is on.
or just get an apple watch and install the free sessions app and be done with it.

This pre-order price makes the Woo a lot easier to stomach. I am going to order one, and when it arrives I will use it in parallel with the Sessions app on the Apple Watch. See how the two compare. Note that I do not expect the two to display on the watch at the same time, I am just curious to see after a session how close the jump measurements are.
If I like the Woo I will keep it. If not I will only bring it out to humble my biddies that use it.

Got one too. Looking for a smartwatch now.
Id like one thats a dive computer at the same time.
Garmins at 1,5k is overpriced.
Not much waterproof smartwatches for diving on the market?

Maybe I was not writing clearly enough, but when "free sessions app" (=Xensr App I was meaning, not the Xensr Air-device remote display app) is converted to Android Wear, the same cheap clock can run it too because it has internal GPS & sensors..

Me too. I expect suunto must have something but probably expensive. Haven't checked yet though.

Well thats an old story I think, accuracy of jump height measured by GPS (I'm guessing) ? What I meant is that I expect you can have the WOO app on them. So you'd just read out whatever the WOO measured. But I might be wrong, I've never even seen a smartwatch or an Ambit2..

https://clips.twitch.tv/NastyAthleticTurnipBCWarrior
1st Woo 1 was free ship
2nd Woo 2 6.95 shipping
3th Woo 3 15 ship
I suspect it maybe has something to do that this is a pre order, maybe they gonna ship everyhting from 1 location
The package is going to be so light weight.

I was also surprised by the high shipping costs. But the nice thing is that they let you combine orders, even after you already placed them. I joined my order with two friends who also ordered a 3.0, we now only pay 15€ total instead of 15€ each. Just contact them with the order numbers, they'll refund the shipping costs.
