So after struggling with myself for a couple months I finally bought the Moto 360.
Here are my first thoughts on it:
-It's definitely a really nice looking piece of hardware.
-Although I'm not a fan of how the band looks(not sure if it's the light brown one or the stone one), it actually feels quite comfortable.
-On some photos I thought it was gigantic but it's actually a nice size for a watch and definitely lighter than I expected (my steel fossil watch is definitely heavier, and about the same size)
-There's a little learning curve but overall android wear is surprisingly easy to use and a very intuitive experience.
-The Moto 360 is more of a "want" than a "need" device I have to say. Even so, it actually works really well and I can see it as a great complement to the Android experience.
-Haven't even had 1 battery cycle so far, so I can't say too much about that. I'll update that point later in the week.
As far as now, I'm really happy with it, and even though I know I could have lived without it, I'm certain I would miss it a lot over a month or two of actual use. It's a really nice looking piece of hardware, and it's a joy to use. Hope you're enjoying yours (or enjoy it once you buy it).
Greetings!
PS: sorry if there's anything not clear enough, English is not my first language.
EDIT:
Update after a week of use
Note: the software version is still 4.4W.2
-After a few days of use the battery got better. The first cycle lasted 16 hours. Now on normal use I get 18 hours and the battery is around 20%.
-I bought and installed a third party metal band (a cheap one, but I really didn't like the looks of the stone band). It's a pain to install a new band but you eventually get the hang of it. -Also I would suggest (as it's been suggested to me) to buy a screen protector. I've been very careful with my watch and it already has little surface scratches. Nothing to noticeable, or deep but it definitely needs a screen protector to avoid this. Where I live (Mexico) the only way to get a Moto 360 is through the Moto online store, and they don't sell the screen protector there, so I haven't been able to get one. I'm seriously thinking about buying some smartphone screen protectors and cut them myself to protect the screen.
-I also want to say that the software lags a little bit through transitions. It doesn't affect the performance overall, but it is noticeable.
-Overall it's a joy to use and a really nice addition to the Android experience. I almost don't take out my Moto X from my pocket anymore (and I used it a lot).
