Review on Stylish Motorola Moto 360 Black Leather Smart Watch - Stay Connected in Style by Joshua Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looking for a smartwatch that looks good as a watch? Motorola's Moto 360 might be something for you

Description The Moto 360 is the first round watch with Android Wear. In general, this is a way to get notifications without taking your phone out of your pocket. It can also be a very nifty fitness tracker and a pretty decent watch. In short, Google is now on your wrist. It is not so? These are not individual watches. If you're looking for a watch just to be a watch, you can look elsewhere. The Moto 360 isn't the Power Ranger intercom we've been wanting since the '90s either, meaning you can't call from there and talk with your wrist. The cancellation of ambient noise is amazing. As for the NotStock charging cable, it takes much longer to charge the watch. The price is a little daunting for what it is. (Accessory) Average battery life is 18 hours in ambient mode off. The processor is a bit outdated. Includes charging dock46mm diameter, 11.5mm thick iP67 rating Genuine leather strap Bluetooth 4.0 LED dual mic setup Heart rate monitor and pedometer Android Wear Lightweight design 49g build quality: 4.5 inch Moto 360 Stays true to the timeless form of classic wristwatches. The round design increases the display area and ensures a comfortable wearing experience. Every material has been carefully selected and meticulously crafted, from the stainless steel case to the Horween® leather straps and scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass.” - Motorola In other words, it's an amazing thing. I've used the Motorola 360 in a variety of situations and it's been a champ with no hiccups. I have taken him to work which can be very tiring at times and he is still in great shape. You will attract attention by wearing this watch. People will also ask you if this is the new iWatch. People who don't own a watch seem to complain about the flattened look of the round display, and to be honest, I do too. Now I'm happy to say that it really isn't a problem. It really goes away and you won't notice it after an hour or two. Features: 4.5 Out of the box you get all the bells and whistles of any standard smartwatch. There are some things they could do differently and I expect to get them done in the next iteration. (OLED display, larger battery and more efficient processor) Battery life/performance: 4 As with most devices, this usually depends on how you use it. In ambient mode, I get about 12 hours with moderate use. Ambient mode off, I get 18 to 20 hours. Things like navigation will drain your battery much faster. This can most likely be fixed with a Google Maps update. but we'll have to wait and see. Until the last update, the performance stuttered from time to time. It's not really a problem now. The Moto 360 works just as well as any other smartwatch. 250 for the base model is spot on if you ask me. In fact, I predicted it would be worth it. I remember people arguing with me online after the announcement, saying it's a premium device and it's going to be sold at a premium price of 350+. Honestly, why would anyone pay more for a phone accessory than a real phone? It's not exactly a designer watch like Rolex, Citizen or Movado watches. After all, 250 were the right prices. Average score (Revain): 4.1. Final Thoughts: I had a Moto 360 for 3 months and thought I would end up regretting my purchase. In reality it is rather the other way around. Once you understand what Android clothes are for, things will fall into place. This is very good for me because I really can't just pull out my phone while I'm at work, but get all my notifications at a glance. I can also reply to texts etc. Navigation becomes much easier when you don't have to take your eyes off the road or interrupt the music with a mechanical voice. Wrist pointers are a great idea. Android Wear is designed for fitness and works really well with the Moto 360, although I wish all the features you get on the watch were available on your smartphone (Google Fit stats, Moto Body stats, heart rate check, etc.). Android Wear will continue to grow with updates and I hope the Moto 360 will continue to improve as well. Score 21.6 / 2586 Moto 360 is still available. Android Wear will soon support iOS, so Apple users can use it too.
