As an early BD pressie to myself, I've just bought the Sony Smartwatch 3.
To be honest, I was somewhat dubious, as watch tech. is obviously a relatively new thing, and I wasn't sure if the novelty would wear off quickly, and I'd end up with a glorified digital watch that I needed to plug in every night. However, it's now been bluetoothed to my Sony Z3 for 4 days, and I've genuinely found it really useful. I was in a meeting last Friday. I'd left my phone on my desk, and a call came. It appeared on my watch, and I swiped across to hit 'I'm busy'. I was out and about in some pretty awful weather over the weekend, so the Z3 was tucked in my jacket under a few layers, but I got all the scores from my favourite team thru on my watch. All the texts, e-mails, Whats App messages and news alerts pop up too, with no issue, and it's very handy to see if there's anything that needs a quick reply, or if it's just something that can be dealt with later without constantly going for your phone. And I've found the battery life to be good too - unplugging at 7am, and back on the charger at 11 leaves me with about 25% as a rule. Not all that different from what I get with the Z3 handset.
I can't speak for the LG/Moto and other watches, but highly recommend the Sony SW3.
