I'm not thrilled with the band, it seems OK but it just feels ordinary. I'm hoping to pick up the pebble steel band tomorrow and hope that works, I think that'll look nice.
As for the rest of when I opened the box my initial reaction was "that thing is huge, I'm not going to like it" - I'm not a big guy, well, I'm tall but not bulky and I don't have thick or muscular arms. When I put it on though it didn't seem as big as it looks on its own, it seems like a nice size.
Like someone else said, it doesn't feel like an expensive watch but it doesn't feel like a Casio either. I do think a metal band will help though (or a nicer leather band). I think the weight is objective, with the leather band it feels light so I think some people will like it just for that. I don't mind a little weight when I wear a watch.
As for the watch face itself, the second had does sweep on the primary screen, when the screen goes into 'dim' mode (I'm not sure what else its called) then no, theres no second hand. I'm split on the realism of the watch face.. In a passing glance I don't think people will realize its a smartwatch but anyone who gives it a close look will absolutely be able to tell its a digital face.
Setup was easy with my LG G3, took about 2 minutes. I haven't had any disconnects yet. Even though there are quite a few watch faces some aren't anything I'd consider. I like the traditional look. I hope that they open it up to customization in the future as there are bits and pieces of each I'd like. Someone asked about getting bored with the watch faces, and yes, I can see that happening, but at the same time if I spent $300+ on a regular watch I'm not changing that watch face either.
I cant speak to battery life yet, I didn't get it until late in the day. and I don't know about the stepcounter or fitness functions yet, I haven't played with those yet. Mine is a Korean model and I can't read the instruction manual to figure out all the functions yet.
I'll check back in as I use it more and try and help answer some questions as well. I don't have a 360, I don't like that design at all.. I did have a Samsung Gear Fit for 3 days but it wasn't for me, so I'm not sure how great I'll be at comparisons but I'll give whatever answers I can!
