Thank you so much for sharing this so quickly! I think I'm going to pick it up in silver after seeing the black "in person". Black looks really slick for sure but I think the stainless steel is going to be ideal for me.
People are really killing me with the "Oh My God, I have to charge it every day?" Type comments. The damn thing last you throughout the day, when you take your ass to sleep, put the thing on the charger. It's not like you're going to need those notifications in your damn sleep anyway. This just goes to show that people just love to bitch.
I had a hard time deciding between the 360 and the gear s, I'm so glad I went with the moto 360. :Looks classy and feels like a regular watch and my battery life last close to 2 days.
Nice summary. I have a few questions, maybe you can answer them here or in a future video. Can you wear the watch face on the inside of your wrist as opposed to the outside for heart rate monitoring? How much bigger is the unit than your traditional watch? I'd like to see it side by side with other common watches. I wear a watch all day, every day but I don't like to wear bulky watches. Does it get hot the way some phones will with use? Thanks and keep up the good work.
are the straps standard or some proprietary design? I can't stand anything other than metal straps but can't wait any longer for this (perfectly timed for a birthday gift to myself)
I prefer black over the stainless steel colour, but I'm afraid that if the black scratches it will expose the colour under the black. How is the paint on the watch?
Great review by the way, but I noticed the notification was always on the bottom of the screen and cutting into the time. Is there a way to let the notifications come and then remove it and check later or will you always have the notification on screen? If you don't check it.
Great review - finally could see the ambient mode which'd be most im portent forme. What would be nice to know how long the battery actually lasts with ambient mode on?
With ambient on it should last a full day according to Motorola and a few other tech blogs. You may have to charge it around dinner time but it charges to 80 percent it about 30 minutes.
I don't see why not? It comes with a quick and easy cradle. You take your watch off when you sleep. This is no different. So far, I am quite impressed.
hey there, does this device track sleeps and wakes you up in your soft sleep? like sony smartband etc. if not, is it technically possible to make an update for the actual device.
KingdomHeart723 Yes, this would be compatible. I own the Galaxy S3, and all you need to use it is the Android Wear app by Google from the Play Store. Then you just pair the watch and you're all set! Now I will admit I don't have the watch YET, but I'm buying it in the next month from Motorola's website.
I can't believe there was no feature added to choose to have the watch not light up every time you raise your arm. It's beyond distracting especially driving at night . Not to mention just a waste of the battery.
The Notification bar is obnoxious on that thing... They need to come up with a better system that doesn't leave a huge white strip across the bottom half of the watchface... Why not use a nice translucent message?
my moto 360 can't stay connected and when it disconnects my phone is not able to to find it again so everytime I have to reset to factory. do I have to return the watch?
+Hooman sth Download an older version of Android Wear (google old android wear) and start the pairing process over again (reset watch), update the software on the watch (settings -> about -> system updates), then you can update the android wear app after that
the Moto 360 has a little green light on the bottom that will try to detect your heart rate (this is apparently called a "photoplethysmograph"). The green light passes through your skin, is reflected by your blood, and (hopefully) goes back into one of the sensor holes. Any kind of movement will make the measurement inaccurate, which makes it a real pain to use
Tried the watch @ BestBuy and surprisingly I didn't like it. Looks too simply, a plain disk with a strap if that makes any sense; It doesn't look like a watch. I expected a bit more elegance for $249.99. I'm not saying it's better but the LG G R looks more like a watch; not saying I'm a fan of that outer dial.... ah fuck it; I don't know what I'm saying. The Moto-360 just looks too plain to me. If you haven't physically seen the watch, don't bother replying to this comment.
Robert Christie George says it's because of the controls, you say it's because of ambient. If it's because of ambient then that was a stupid move for Motorola. I would've really wanted this watch but that bezel really creeps me the fuck off.
Andrew Brown Same here, I want to buy the silver one (comes out tomorrow) with the silver band. But really..that bezel is really ticking me off...then again it might just be my OCD.
When you said "OK Google" my Google search activated! Lol!
Same here dude
Me to
Mine too
Not mine. Glorious Moto X 1st gen dedicated processor
lol same

companys need more sheep customers like you :>
thanks for proving my point that youre plain stupid :)
"bitchmastster"? learn to spell first kid :)
actually, i sleep with my watch, because i love how it wakes me up by vibration without annoying sounds.
Jax Daniel easy fix for that, don't buy this watch. PROBLEM SOLVED!
well, looking at the words that you use, i would say youre about 14 years old.
OK I'm ready for battery life comparisons now.
So getting it! lol
I had a hard time deciding between the 360 and the gear s, I'm so glad I went with the moto 360. :Looks classy and feels like a regular watch and my battery life last close to 2 days.
My watch came on when you said "Ok Google". I thought that was pretty funny. Great review!

A standard watch band won't blend as well as the metal straps coming out later this year for $50 more, but it will work
***** can you get it if you're not a Verizon customer (and live in Canada lol)?
I prefer black over the stainless steel colour, but I'm afraid that if the black scratches it will expose the colour under the black. How is the paint on the watch?
Hi everyone!
I really want it!
Thank you for great reviews and news too!
Best regards from Brazil
I hope you do a video after you install the android wear apps, I just want to see how they look on the watch
Great review by the way, but I noticed the notification was always on the bottom of the screen and cutting into the time. Is there a way to let the notifications come and then remove it and check later or will you always have the notification on screen? If you don't check it.
LOOKs REALLY GReat. THE NEW MOTOROLA X LOOKS GREAT
Great review - finally could see the ambient mode which'd be most im portent forme. What would be nice to know how long the battery actually lasts with ambient mode on?
With ambient on it should last a full day according to Motorola and a few other tech blogs. You may have to charge it around dinner time but it charges to 80 percent it about 30 minutes.
When setting up do you remember if it had option for Australia. I want to buy from US but im not sure if it will work properly in Australia.
I'd rather NOT wear a watch on my wrist than wear one and knowing I must charge it every single day.
Niko Hartman it's just an opinion you idiot! I ain't wearing shit on my wrist
Niko Hartman lmao
Niko Hartman why the fuck not you lil' shit?
Well because, as you so elegantly put it: "I ain't wearing shit on my wrist."
I don't see why not? It comes with a quick and easy cradle. You take your watch off when you sleep. This is no different. So far, I am quite impressed.
Thanks for the review. What's your background for your mobile?
ambient mode is when the screen is constantly on, and the word route is not pronounced rowt.
Haha my Nexus 7 opened Google Now when you said"OK google"
Can you reply to texts on this watch ? or is it just reply by voice?
Does it make it a day with moderate use with the ambient light sensor off?
I would like to know what kind of battery life you get with ambient mode off and heavy use
Does the moto 360 has its own speaker?
What phone are you using? That screen is beautiful!
I think it's the new moto x
Jordan Huang It is
Well, it looks pretty awesome
Kyle Holzinger yeah its snazzy!
Jordan Huang how'd you get your messages to look like that?
does this watch monitor your heart rate continuously or do you have to tell it to start?
3:07 haha that was a bit spooky
Does it really unlock your phone when you hold it?
what happens if you get multiple IMs/texts?? Can you see and reply each one, or the incoming one pushes away the prior one? Thanks
I wish google now could show us the future!@3:09
will it last for +- 11 hours of battery life?
What kind of cell phones are compatible to 360?
does the moto 360 have a speaker and can you make phone calls from it?
the ambient mode is not with light sensor it keeps the screen on all the time just dims after a few seconds
hey there, does this device track sleeps and wakes you up in your soft sleep? like sony smartband etc. if not, is it technically possible to make an update for the actual device.
On my moto 360, the charging animation is cut because of that sensor. Does it need to update or something?
let us knnow how long the battery life is with the ambient light sensor
Can we pair it with ios?
I live in england and I was wondering how much it would cost in pounds
How accurate is the heart rate monitor?
Is there a way to turn on or off the notification vibration. I am not getting the vibration every notification. Is tht normal?
ah yes....the Moto 360 is finally shows it self.
What generation is it
i love ambient mode. i may not buy this if it is without this option.
Would this be compatible with the Galaxy S3?
KingdomHeart723 Yes, this would be compatible. I own the Galaxy S3, and all you need to use it is the Android Wear app by Google from the Play Store. Then you just pair the watch and you're all set! Now I will admit I don't have the watch YET, but I'm buying it in the next month from Motorola's website.
How do i play music on the moto 360
can the 360 control your music like skip song, pause/play?
Yes!
Not you have to shake real good until it does
Any way to put a keyboard on it.
what about the battery ?
Can I use a moto g for it?
Can we use the Moto 360 without a phone?
NO
How long will it lasts with and without ambient light mode enabled
I get a good day in ah half of use until I have to charge it it probably long if I didn't play with it so much ☺
How usable is the watch when it's not connected to a phone?
u can connect is to the Internet now so pretty good
I was hyped about the Moto 360 until I heard the battery life was horrible 😳
Reminds me of lhe moto aura...
does this watch has what's app n all
***Check out "In View Vehicle Trim" very cool**
I can't believe there was no feature added to choose to have the watch not light up every time you raise your arm. It's beyond distracting especially driving at night . Not to mention just a waste of the battery.
The Notification bar is obnoxious on that thing... They need to come up with a better system that doesn't leave a huge white strip across the bottom half of the watchface... Why not use a nice translucent message?
4.4W.1?
I like it
If you notice the battery percentages, it dropped from 80% to 78% within 4 minutes of use.
how do this android wear get internet connection ?? , i mean does it connect to internet or you can just say command offline on android wear??
It syncs with your phone. It won't get a data connection by itself.
my moto 360 can't stay connected and when it disconnects my phone is not able to to find it again so everytime I have to reset to factory. do I have to return the watch?
+Hooman sth Download an older version of Android Wear (google old android wear) and start the pairing process over again (reset watch), update the software on the watch (settings -> about -> system updates), then you can update the android wear app after that
if you use another text messaging app does it still tell you? or does it have to be hangouts?
I use stock sms on my Gs5 and it works fine with out hangouts.
Does the moto 360 work with the LG G3?
Yea any device running android 4.3
And above
ok thank you
Is there games on it?
The only game I haven't been able to run on it yet is flappy bird. Idk how when it easily runs crysis 3 on max settings 1080p
OK ITS BEAUTIFUL BUT THE PROB NO CAMERA
so what ur problem on that
Watching this on my Moto G. When he said. "OK GOOGLE" it activated my voice search lmao. Anyone else?
you give me the dimensions of the box
I want to know how it takes your heart rate.
With the heart rate sensor???
Well yeah, but what kind is it? How does it take your heartbeat?Does it use a special camera? That's what I was asking. I already knew that.
basically magic...
Tyler Eberhardt optical sensor that records minute changes in the color of your skin as your heart pumps
the Moto 360 has a little green light on the bottom that will try to detect your heart rate (this is apparently called a "photoplethysmograph"). The green light passes through your skin, is reflected by your blood, and (hopefully) goes back into one of the sensor holes. Any kind of movement will make the measurement inaccurate, which makes it a real pain to use
Moto 360 1st Look
Yea... Cool
Hey man, can you write an email with your moto 360?

Google Watch + Google Glass + Nexus
beetle then Apple Watch
Shouldve spent more time gettting used to the watch instead of not knowing how to properly work through the OS
Apple iWatch destroys this
The ui seems so awkward
*u* I WANT ONE
Why do people rave about this watch, when the bottom portion of the screen is unusable? Is the new LG circular watch this way?
There is actually an ambient light sensor inside that portion. There is no other place to put the sensor due to the device having little to no bezel.
Robert Christie George says it's because of the controls, you say it's because of ambient. If it's because of ambient then that was a stupid move for Motorola. I would've really wanted this watch but that bezel really creeps me the fuck off.
***** I love the way it looks.
Andrew Brown Same here, I want to buy the silver one (comes out tomorrow) with the silver band. But really..that bezel is really ticking me off...then again it might just be my OCD.
***** A lot of users say it's not bothering them much. It does suck but it's not a deal breaker for me.
Why do you say " actually" so much?
buterfall
You have convinced me not to buy one. Thank you
Looks laggy and unresponsive.
This is so stupid..
can you replace the straps/bands of the watch?
I was hyped about the Moto 360 until I heard the battery life was horrible 😳
dose this watch have gallery..??
does this watch has what's app n all
