I know I’m Super late to the party but I’m loving the Moto 360 (2015) paired w/ my Pixel 2! Awesome watch!

Glad you're liking it. I've had mine for over 1 year now and it's still been working great. Even though new watches come out, I still don't see a need to upgrade from my Moto 360 2nd gen.

It's crazy how I'm routinely going to bed at night with 50%+ battery left. Insane for a 2 year old device to still be that good.

As with anything Google, android and open source... its GREAT when it works.
Now that my gen-2 is working once again... all is well.

In the time I've had the Moto 360, I've found it to be much more useful than my Apple watch that I'm gifting to the wife for Christmas. I mean, you can't beat being able to gesture type from the watch. Definite game changer.

Yeah... I just downloaded the gesture type keyboard... awesome. I can see it getting a lot of use.

Hopefully they stick with AW 2.X for some time. The upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0 was BRUTAL for me. I have never had a problem with battery life, even with AW 1.5 which is not supposed to be as power efficient as 2.0. At the end of the day my battery is usually around %65-75.

The newer watches have GPS and LTE connectivity... these are battery killers. In addition, the moto doesn't have a compass, altimeter and probably other things I am forgetting. Thats oK by me!! "Less is more" works really well here.

Interesting. I didn't download anything additional to do gesture typing on my watch.

Yeah for some reason its not included automatically all the time. Oh NFC radio is the other thing missing on the moto.
