Moto 360

[MilksAreUs]

Looking to get this smart watch when it's released in the UK.
It will retail for £199.99 and it looks such a superb piece of equipment, as well as looking smart.
£199.99 isn't too expensive either, meaning it will be more affordable than a few others on the market.
Will you be buying one when it is released in the UK?

Originally I was quite interested in this one over the other android wear devices, but after seeing the reviews I changed my mind about it. It has mostly the same spec as other android wear devices, however the processor is inferior and has in some cases caused the system to slow down. Considering you can buy the LG G Watch for £100 less and get pretty much the same experience from it, I really wouldn't think about buy one now.

Wow, this has changed my opinion of it :/ If that's the case then that is a huge disappointment. Hopefully a second version will be a bit more advanced.

Is the LG watch supposed to be any good?

Yeah its a shame they decided to cut corners there. I believe the processor they've used in it is 4 years old :P The upside to the 360 is how sexy it looks, but whether that justifies spending an extra £100 on it I don't know. :P

From what Ive read and seen in reviews, it's doesn't seem to be a bad little device. The reason I like it though is because its meant to have the longest battery life out of all of them and because it's the cheapest option. It is currently £101 on Amazon.

yeah 10 ways posted a link to it for £102 hmm

[GommeInc]

£102 is normal for a good watch (not designer but not bland). Not sure if £102 is justifiable for a device that does what your phone does but with less information but if you only need to see the weather, time and planner information then maybe it is :P

Nope,

Waiting for the Apple Watch.

No, I don't see the point or the appeal. If someone would like to explain the point of them, feel free.

It's basically a way of checking information without looking at your phone e.g. glancing at a text, seeing who's calling etc and some you can answer calls on.

The problem I have is battery. 1 day battery life means that as well as having to charge my phone and often forgetting I'll also have to do the same with my watch. I'd like something that could last a lot longer.

[Chris]

They're just a bit of a gimmick at the moment really and are still in their infancy. I expect that in a few years time they will be more of a worthwhile purchase.

[Jack!]

I've got the LG G Watch, it's handy but it's nothing special yet, just saves pulling my phone out of my pocket all the time.

That black bar is such a turn off.
