Is this pretty much dead? This rumor has been around for 3-4 months.

If ever happens it will be a fairly major announcement.

I use my Moto 360 with an iPhone (sort-of, but only for WiFi). Basically, I have an older, non-activated android phone sitting at home on my network, which is configured for Android Wear, and is configured to send notifications for gmail, calendar, outlook, etc. Also, it is configured with my Google Voice phone number for texts. Then, I have pre-configured my Moto 360 to use the WiFi networks I commonly use - at home, at work, and with my iPhone (which I turn on as a hot-spot when on the road or trail). So, essentially I use my iPhone as a Wifi hot-spot to use with Moto 360, when on the road. Most of the time I use the 360, without carrying a phone, to receive alerts, messages, etc. Again, the secret was having an extra android device around the house (my old phone) to initially pair with the 360.

Thanks, I have actually used my 360 in the same manner. Got a cheap Moto G (unactivated) at home connected to my home network and with the 360 WiFi enabled. Then, since my iPhone is on T-Mobile, I can tether up to 5gb/mo in addition to my unlimited data so I "connect" the 360 through my iPhone as well when out and about. Most family texts me using Hangouts which is good and Gmail notifications are nice too. My only gripe when the 360 is connected via wifi is it seems to disable after the 360 battery hits 80% remaining.

This is actually quite clever and an implementation I would not have considered before you mentioned it. Bravo for figuring this one out and thinking outside the platform limitations .

Does the wifi option adversely affect watch battery life?

Yeah it does.
