+Warwagon MVC Posted October 3, 2014 MVC Share Posted October 3, 2014 So my Moto 360 arrived a few days ago and i'm LOVING IT. To have your phone in a differnet room, across the room or in your pocket and have an alert to go off Text message or email or Facebook message ... or any notification for that mater, and just look at your watch and see what the message was and even being able to repond to it without ever touching your phone is AMAZING. I don't understand why people want to keep their screens of their phones on all the time so they can see the time. When you turn the watch to look at the screen automaticly turns on. Who else has one? I usually end the day with about 20% battery life. I don't care about the battery life as long as it will last 1 day, it's so easy to charge that you just take your watch off at night and set it on the charger. I really like the round design. daniel_rh, psmoked and fintechfooty 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandosis Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have had mine for 2 weeks and I love it. I just picked up a metal band for it. I cant seem to get that 2 day battery life everyone is talking about no matter what I do. even with the latest update, but it still lasts the entire day.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted October 3, 2014 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have a Samsung Galaxy Gear. Some OS, different watch design. I too enjoy it. I can actually get close to 2 days out of it. Right now it is at 62% and it is 9 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pictures of yours with the metal band on it? That leathery rubber band doesn't look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandosis Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Do you have any pictures of yours with the metal band on it? That leathery rubber band doesn't look nice. Its not my watch but its the same band I got (pebble steel band for $20) so this should give you a good idea. I have not had the time to put it on yet. +E.Worm Jimmy and link6155 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I just use a regular watch for time. Can definitely see the benefit of a smart watch... but not sure how I'd feel having to charge it every day.

I thought it would be a little annoying but I already took my watch off at the end of the day anyways. Now I just take it off and put it on the charger and it acts as a nice bedside clock.

Plop it on the wireless charger and you done. It's also compatible with a charge mat. In that case you would just take the watch off and put it on the Square mat and you're charging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firey Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 No, the moto 360 has a wireless charger which makes it even easier. hmm, I was just thinking like travelling wise. Though I have a galaxy s5 which has the usb3 or whatever charging cable. You would need to bring the separate charger for it. Either way, it seems like a nice watch.. price point isn't horrible though I expect in a few years as the tech improves and manufacturing prices drop we will start to see an abundance of them.

techbeck Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Moto 360 is the best looking smartwatch currently available. I still dont have a use for one but if I ever do, the 360 is the one I would get. Depicus 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acido00 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is it true that is feels so "gordo"? so fat? What about battery lifetime? and finally does it has sapphire as screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted October 3, 2014 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2014 If someone would make a Good smart watch that worked with Windows Phone i would probably buy one however, the only options right now are all rather horrible.

I really wanted the Moto 360 until they said that it required an android phone :( Ugh.. you're telling me... I made the mistake of backing the Agent Smartwatch almost a year and a half ago with no results so far. By the time it comes out it's going to be so outdated it'll make a nice paperweight.

NeoTrunks Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 In my experience, the shots of the Moto 360 make it look a lot bigger than it really is. I was playing around with the display models at Best Buy yesterday, and I was surprised that it was actually no bigger than my Sony SW2. In fact, it may have even been a bit smaller. I placed my order online with Motorola as soon as I got home. I also ordered that Pebble Steel wristband to go along with it. I should be getting mine in a week.
