The dimensions of the watch are 1.8×1.8×0.4-inches, and it weighs 2.1oz. It is made of both stainless steel and plastic. The smart watch will also pack an ambient light sensor, a heart rate monitor, and is water resistant for up to 3.3 feet for 30 minutes.
The Moto 360 has 512MB of RAM, a Wireless N connectivity, and a Texas Instruments processor. Other details include Bluetooth 4.0 technology, voice activation capabilities, vibration alert, built-in pedometer, and a built-in lithium-ion battery pack.

I thought about that, but I figured people have more strong opinions about Brick and Mortar stores than they do about Monovo. Consider it a calculated gamble that didn't pan out.

What would be the practical use of a smart watch?

All of the beauty of the phone that hides in your pocket attached to the wrist. Notifications at the wrist level. Googling and texting from there. Not revolutionary, and many won't see the use immediately, but that is what they will be used for at first.

To the extent you think watches make people look like assholes, sure, I guess.

bought my brother a pebble. so here's my experience.
important text or call comes in while in a meeting..you can glance at your watch and tap a predefined quick response without constantly picking up your phone & looking like a douche.
traffic. my phone goes off typically around 5 oclock maybe once or twice a week and lets me know traffic is bad. easier to glance down at the watch if i'm in a meeting than pull my phone out to see how bad it is.
meetings..easy to see your upcoming appointment & time without pulling your phone out. in meetings i'm in..when it gets to be about 10 minutes before the hour everyone starts fidgeting and looking at their phones to see where the next meeting is or what time it is.
the list goes on and on..if you have an android you're already familar with the 'card' UI and if you watched any of the IO conference, you'd see this is where google is heading.
imo the watch is a MUCH less intrusive way of getting info than the dorks who constantly have their nose and finger glued to their phones.
