Motorola 360 already sold out on Motorola's website and in Google Play. Sold out in 10 mins on both sites. I placed an order through best buy in Brentwood and will be receiving mine Tuesday.

It's the only smart watch that actually looks like a WATCH instead of a gadget on your wrist.

i kind of like the way it looks but 1 day battery is a deal breaker for a watch

Battery is definitely an issue. I love the way it looks though. What was the price tag?

normally i'd bitch about the battery life too, but the nice wireless charging stand makes it a pretty easy thing to do..you dont sleep in your watch anyway so just drop it on the stand when you turn in.

I'm thinking one thing that kills the battery is the constant hear rate monitor ( am I right about it being constant?). I'm sure rooting can fix this

health features on watches are the next new thing..now that we've fed our soul on social crap, its time for computers to pay more attention to our bodies.

imagine if this fricker could detect a heart attack about to occur and automatically call 911.

There's zero way that I could ever get over the stupid black bar at the bottom. Otherwise it is pretty cool. The black empty space is a deal breaker.

Well, I'm not gonna spend $250 on a smart watch that I'm limited to one color face. It has the capability to do so much other than just have a black background.

And, the black bar can't be unseen.

The Asus Zen watch or the new LG G Watch R both look really good. Both run android wear and look like normal watches. I just couldn't wait any longer. They won't be available until next month and I've been waiting since Google I/O to buy the 360.

Talk about nitpicky. The black bar is apparently necessary for functionality.

Not sure of its entire function, but do know it has some sensors in it. Read a preview yesterday about the upcoming LG smartwatch which has round face without the black strip, but the catch is it doesn't have an ambient light sensor so has to be manually dimmed.

Idk that I will buy either, but if I do ill deal with a tiny black strip just for auto dimming alone
