After several weeks with this watch I am very happy with it. I was initially put off by reviews dating from before December 2014 when the Android Wear update was rolled out but if you read reviews from after that update was applied then you'll see that most of the initial complaints have been addressed and resolved.
Yes there's still the odd frustrating moment but this is still early days in the next gen wearables game. Sure the Apple watch software will probably work flawlessly but I personally dislike the square design. This Moto 360 is a beautiful device. Well made, light weight and perfect size.
I guess most people want to know why you would buy one of these, what can you do with it?
Well... loads of stuff. Aside from tell the time you can read emails, whatsapp messages, texts, facebook and instagram notifications and messages. You can see weather info. You can view and edit your schedule, linked to your calendar. You can take notes. You can send messages by voice which genuinely works very well. You can record and view health information like your heart rate, calories burned, track a run with Google my tracks and a built in pedometer. You can navigate using Google navigation micro. You can search and browse the web. You can install custom watch faces or create your own. You can control your music playback. There is also a host of android wear compatible apps available in the play store, more appearing all the time.
All this means you're taking your phone out of your pocket less.
The battery life is as you'd expect, depending on how much you are playing about with it you could get from 1 day to 2 days but for me it's irrelevant as the watch comes with a wireless charge dock that once you set your watch onto it it becomes a dimly lit bedside clock which is really nice. No need to worry about overcharging it as they encourage you to dock it at bed time so that 1- you can have a nice bedside clock and 2- it's always 100% charged in the morning.
Are there any negative aspects? Not really. The price is good, the quality is very high, even the leather strap is very nice, the features are excellent and it's genuinely useful. The screen is plenty bright even in strong sunlight, and with the auto light sensor you don't have to alter the brightness yourself unless you really want to. The screen could possibly do with a slightly higher pixel density but honestly that's just nit picking.
