Due to family employees at BestBuy I was finally able to get a 360 last night. I haven't had a lot of time with it but had the day off so have been playing a lot with it. In my experience I never had battery issues with the LG. As of right now between basic notifications and constant adjustments to watch faces and layouts in about 8 hours I'm at 58%. A bit less than what I was getting on LG but that had a bigger battery and I didn't fuss with it as much after the first few days. Key point I think battery should be fine for most users.

One concern is vibration strength. I find it a bit weak in that I don't notice it when doing other things. Compared to the LG which shook my whole arm. I hope they can increase it a bit via software but I can live with the level since it doesn't seem to be as audible as the LG. I like that I can feel notifications but others don't have to hear the buzz. I'm curious if anyone else who came from LG or perhaps the Gear Live how they feel about the vibration strength.

Lastly I love the ambient screen setting. I used always on, on the G Watch but it could get annoying in the dark or when it really wasn't needed. Playing with the Moto version seems to keep it on as long as you have movement and at an angle for viewing. If you have your arms at the side or watch facing away or down it will turn it off. Have it in a viewable position it leaves it dim/monochrome. It will be interesting to see effects on battery with this setting once I'm done playing with it every second. I'm guessing I may get similar to the LG which was always on but higher battery, compared to turning itself off when out of sight and the auto dim.

If anyone has questions between the two devices that I didn't mention, feel free to ask.
