Bad design- surprised no one had complained about this

[dby2011]

Really like this watch and battery life has improved for me to the point it is similar to my Moto 360 2nd edition. However, as soon as My Moto 360 gets it's 2.0 update I selling this because of one reason- the darn watch dial placement. There is a reason most watches don't have the dial sticking out the center of the watch. Every time I extend my hand back (like leaning on a table) it hits the dial and google assistant is enabled. It's not like I have a fat wrist or hand either. It happens multiple times a day for me in various situations. I think it's the combination of the dial sticking out the center and the fact it needs to stick out a bit so you can access it in order to rotate it. Horrible design and can't believe this made it past any type of testing. If they just placed the dial about a cm above where it is it may have eliminated this issue.

Sorry to hear you don't like it. I've not had this problem.

You say that battery life has improved, what are you actually getting now? Have you changed and particular settings?

Yes, I uninstalled Google Maps and turned location off. I use my watch mostly for notifications and text messaging and don't need that. Now it's comparable to the Moto 360 for me.

No one has complained cause it happens on almost every Smartwatch with a button on the side! Does it on my Apple Watch, LG Sport, my old Moto 360 and a Gear S3 classic my brother has! It is what it is...

I have a Moto 360 2nd edition and it did not happen for me.

Probably cause the button was placed higher.

That's what I said!
