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

So originally I was going to buy a Samsung Gear until I found out they don't use Android Wear OS. So I looked at some of the other options available and immediately decided that the Moto is one of the best options. For those who have never owned an Android watch, the cheaper ones have the same features as the more expensive ones, for the most part they just have slightly cheaper parts. When I saw this watch on sale for $90, I jumped at the chance. Advertisement. In fact, the display of this watch is of very high quality. It gets very bright and has surprisingly good detail for such a small screen. And with access to the Android Wear Store, there are plenty of watch faces available. Battery: The battery life is actually pretty decent and can easily last a full day if you're just using it to check notifications, reminders, and other basic functions. functions. However, and this is a pretty big problem for many people, myself included, the dial stays black until you look at it. In other words, you won't be able to take advantage of all the amazing watch faces that make the phone so stylish, which was one of the highlights for me. There are ways to keep your watch face on, but even at the lowest brightness, it turns off in just a few hours. If you crank up the brightness, you're in luck if you can last an hour. However, this happens with every watch and should be expected. Being the size of a watch, they cannot hold a large battery. And even the phone can't stay at full brightness for very long, so I can't give a star for that. Features: As I said, you get Android Wear, which is a big plus for me. You can check text messages, send text messages, get notifications from almost any app, read Facebook messages, set reminders, set calendar events, write notes, record things like a lecture or meeting, view incoming calls, etc. Most of the things that can be done on Messages created on your phone can be created here, and while some might find it unnecessary, anyone who has a busy schedule or just doesn't need to pick out their phone every time they get a notification will love it. Design: I personally like the overall design. I think it looks great and you can personalize it with any watch strap you prefer. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's a bit thick and also oversized so it might look weird on someone with small wrists. Overall, I like them better than most smartwatches. Conclusion: I am very impressed with this watch and find it better than most watches twice the price. It's not the highest quality and some people might want to go with the 2nd gen, but I think you get most of the same features even as it ages. If you have doubts about buying a smartwatch, grab this opportunity while it's still available at this price!
