The animated GIF for this thing looks amazing. I can't wait!

Has Motorola said anything about the batery life for the Moto 360?
Anyone have prospective guesses?

Nobody really knows anything yet, from what I can tell. You might want to attend the Hangout by Motorola for this in ~23 hours, though; presumably we'll get some concrete information from it: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c5oghenfqmpls1i2tmug84vgk1c

I might finally be interested in a watch. Gorgeous!

looks like Moto is on the ball with this device! looks great!!

I think it will have Wireless Charging I dont see any port for charging if yes would be great

Custom watchfaces? Finally I can emulate the face from zero escape, and maybe add bluetooth functions to make team pairs and stuff

What I would be especially excited about is the possibility of using the OS to rotate the display to the perfect angle for viewing. Think about how much easier it would make the viewing angles and interaction so much better. I just hope Google patents it (defensively) before Apple does.

Price theories? It's moto so I know they're gonna try to go low.
Hoping under $150

Agreed on the Moto 360 being a gorgeous entry into the SmartWatch market. Looking forward to hearing some specs and pricing.

I'm just happy that it is 'Motorola' that had built this as I'm hopeful that the price point will be affordable.

And this is exactly what I want most. It's the thing that's kept me from buying a smartwatch up until this point.
This would completely solve the issue I have with riding the motorcycle and wanting GPS. GPS units that work for bikes start at like $300-$400, which is crazy. This I could just look at my wrist with. Just gotta keep the zipper on my jacket wrist open lol

why all moto 360 images have a black bar on the bottom?
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpY8O5Zer78&feature=share&t=13m20s it seems to have the bottom cutted out as well
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnerqDWwVgg there is nothing indicating that black bar, not on 3D images neither the clock app design, only on the ending you can see the bar http://i.imgur.com/PSElyeR.png.
- http://youtu.be/OYYag3oHh9k?t=52s it seems to have a little glow...
- On the SDK ( http://www.androidcentral.com/sites.../2014/03/wear-sdk-preview_0.jpg?itok=kTuL85Cm ) there is no black bar and the black bar on the moto 360 seems to hide the menu indicator http://developer.android.com/wear/images/screens/circle_message2.png
http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/moto-360-3.png
- all the screens i've found seems to have corners next to the connections ( http://static1.i4u.com/sites/defaul...n_image/images/2007/lg-round-lcd-displays.jpg ) , and the cutted out screens http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/718/757/609/609757718_240.jpg don't, so it may be a technical thing.

good point.hopefully someone would clarify soon.

Unanswered Questions
The most interesting unanswered questions about the Moto 360 (or any AW device, for that matter) are: what SoC is supported/being used (presumably an ARM v7a core), what is the battery life (it had better be better than the QC Toq), what sensors are expected to be in use, what battery size and placement, are these inductively charged, how realistic/expensive is a color & round display.

or may be it will be some mechanism which will charge the watch by motion !!! remember some analog watches have that mechanism, but main thing is if so , will it be charging the watch sufficiently and quick?

Thanks for sharing my link. If anyone has any questions please let me know☺.
I'll be working on developing some custom watchfaces for the Sony SmartWatch 3 to join my collection for the SmartWatch 2.
Cheers
Julian

hey julz, thanks for coming here.
I can see at the moment the Sony works the same as the other android wear watches. The extra features will come the next update.
Do the updates come directly from Google or Sony? Did they say anything about it?
Last week the watch was shown in India and I saw in the protypes Google Fit and Runkeeper preinstalled.
I think Google Fit is not yet available to the public, right? And maybe the runkeeper app it's a special version to use the GPS and without the phone....
You can see it after 2:30 in this video:
http://youtu.be/1_FAc9bw9ic
What do you think?
And what about the wristband? Many, many people say this is a terrible watch because of the ugly black wristband. And that is unfair. The watch itself is a great piece of modern technology.
Do you run? Will you use it to track sports when the update arrives?
Thank you for being here!
Edit:
Swimming!
can we swim safely with this? Did the Sony guys tell you anything about it?

Hi, my watch has Google fit installed. It is currently just the app that shows you how many steps you've taken. Run keeper i believe is installed on your watch when you install the normal run keeper app.
Not sure who will roll out the updates but in pretty sure it's the manufacturer like your phone. Don't know about swimming with the watch, not sure why you would want to anyway.

Well it came to my attention. I saw the runkepper app in two Indian videos of the presentation and I'm pretty sure it was preinstalled, so maybe they are developing a version to be used without the phone in the next big android wear update.
To swim with the watch makes sense if you practice sport. Think about tracking the activity, as stopwatch or even to play music while you swim!!!
Or even more easy: You don't have to hide the watch in your bag while you are in the swimming pool.
Just curious about the potential. Imagine to practice sports like Triathlon or Duathlon. Makes sense for sports.

Unfortunately, it sounds like I will not be able to wear this one. Bummer, as I was really looking forward to it. I really wish they went with a standard watch band...
Maybe the metal band will be longer, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hi Julz
Based on your experience, Can we really expect 2 full days of battery of moderate usage? or this is the usual marketing BS?
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------
I'm curious about the transreflective screen.:
- In direct sunlight, how readable is it?
- are colours washed out when reflecting sunlight?
- would a normal bulb light be enough to read the contents, or the LED is on?
- Will it use the screen light on day light or only when there is not enough light to reflect?

Yes two days is achievable. Probably not necessarily 48 hours all the time but enough that by the second day you'll be at home ready for bed before you need to plug it in. The screen is similar to the SmartWatch 2 in its readability in sunlight. I'll need to double check how it looks as we just started getting some nicer weather here with some sun. When the screen is in low power mode it is easily readable indoors without the need to turn on a light. You would only need to turn on the screen in active mode if it was dark. Probably no more difficult than trying to read a book at night.

Can you pair a bluetooth, chest strap heart rate monitor to sony smart watch 3?

At this moment it works like the other wear watches. It needs the phone for everything and there isn't any app that uses the internal gps. And if you must carry the phone it makes no sense to pair the chest monitor to the watch.
But this will change with the big android wear update and the new features independent of the phone.
We have to wait a little bit more. I hope the chest monitor thing is in the plan of future stand alone fitness apps for this next generation of Android wear.

Hey, thanks for the info about the gps, I figured it must be tied in with the upcoming update, and may be a part of the delay.

Vibration Motor
Hi Julz,
Any chance you can comment on the strength of the vibration motor between the SW2 and the new SW3? I like the vibration intensity on the SW2. Tried a Moto 360's vibration motor and it is a joke - too weak!!
Thanks in advance.

The vibration motor isn't as strong as the SmartWatch 2 in my opinion. A bit more subtle but I actually prefer it as it isn't as loud and annoying but still noticeable.

Sony says in Europe that the wifi thing is a mistake.
What a joke about the launch of this watch...

[Q] Wearing the Moto 360 while driving is a pain

Please excuse this post, if something similar has already been created, I haven't found one yet. But has anyone noticed that wearing the Moto 360 while driving is a problem, especially at night? Maybe there is a setting that I don't know about that you can turn on, but the other night, I was driving home in the dark, and every little movement with my wrist, the screen would light up, it became quite distracting, I ended up having to take the watch off. Has this happened to anyone else? Have you found a way around this? Any solutions are welcome!

I drive with mine quite a bit and don't experience this. I believe if you turn Ambient Screen off in settings, the watch is less likely to light up with small movement. It takes more of a 'look at your watch' move to make it turn on.

Since day 1, I have had Ambient Screen off, I think it's more driving at night than during the day. I was wearing a t-shirt, so the watch wasn't covered, so I noticed the screen light up often enough that it was annoying and some what dangerous. I wish they would create a driving mode, or even a mode past the 2 they have now, where the screen only lights up for notifications or if you click the crown.

This is why I don't drive with 1 arm over the top of the wheel leaning to the side.
At 10 & 2 there isn't that much of the face turning on. But I do notice it occasionally. I adjusted my arm position to stop it though

I experience exactly what you are describing. It's very annoying and I think it's a huge drain on battery.

Same here. I now take off my watch while driving. I used to with a normal watch anyway. Microsoft sync on my car handles all my notifications and med is controls while I am driving anyway so the watch is redundant.

Glad to hear I'm not the only person who experiences this. It would be really great if they would incorporate more than 2 screen functions, like always off except for notifications. That would also help a ton with battery life for some people.

9 and 5 with a black watchface. No issues.

What I do is flip the watch over to my wrist. Helps a little.

NOW this thread makes sense :laugh:

I noticed this myself right away my first day. It hasn't been distracting for me fortunately, Android Wear definitely needs a car mode.

Oh man, that is dangerous! I mean driving with bright light coming on your left side? Google needs to be notified of this. You should email Android blog site, like Android Central.

That is exactly how I drive.
It activates itself every now and then, mostly when turning. I don't really care though, at the end of the day, it impacts the battery by maybe 5%.

Can't tell if you're joking or not.. but driving at night with little street light (some freeways in the CA are like that) and have a full-blast white light coming suddenly is a distraction.
I had Llama on my Note 3 and configured it incorrectly and one time, it put the brightness at 100% (suppose to be 10% at night) and it's quite blinding when it happened suddenly at 75 Mph.
Of course, I don't have the watch yet (coming this week!), so I don't know how bright this is.

I just drove 1 hour on a road so twisty that it is impossible to go the posted 45 mph limit. At 4am, It's so dark you could see the milkyway clearly...my 360 turned on 3 times and two of them were when making 90 degree right hand turns. I wasn't bothered, but ymmv.

Change it to a black watch face.

Why not just mute the watch... That's what I do while driving.

Yes and it is annoying. Everytime you turn the wheel it lights up. There doesn't appear to be a setting to change its behavior (though if you mute it at least notifications don't pop up at you).

[WatchMaker] [Moto 360] Easy To Use!

I have had my Moto 360 for 1 and 1/2 days and the first thing I did was try to figure out how to get a nice Watch Face on there. I am all about customization! First I looked at Facer, since there was a whole lot of hooplah about it. I downloaded the app and went to make my first Face. I couldn't! The app wouldn't allow me to when I tapped the button. I could look at the premade faces, but not make one myself.
So I went and looked at another app, WatchMaker and WearFaces.
WearFaces was much more complicated than I thought it should be...especially after using WatchMaker first. I downloaded WearFaces since it also gotten good reviews, just to see if it was better than WatchFaces. It wasn't.
The first official WatchFace I made was the free version...I called it Purple Haze.
After seeing what it could do for free, I thought I would pay for the app and then see if it opened up anything that would be worthwhile! BOY DID IT!
The ability to use the codes to have the parts of the watch face and add different notices like weather, temp, batter life (icon or percent), events based on time of day...etc....WOW. I am in love with this app!
The developer was also on point in the amount of time it took to answer any questions I had in regards to features!
My next two faces after 1 day!
Doctor Who Time and Rainbow Hearts came next!
I am working on a The Walking Dead one now!!

One thing I love about watchmaker is how smooth the animations are on phone and watch. This can really be seen with the smooth second mode. I love the draggable weather widgets too, only wish there were some extra themes.

New weather and battery themes added in WatchMaker 2.4!

Not yet, but it may be worth asking the FaceRepo guy if he would think about building one - he posts on here too, so would be good to get his thoughts.

do i have to buy master watchmaker if i want to set a watchface i downloaded?
when i press on set watchface it says "master watchmaker" in the title and the options are later and get now . if i press on later it doesn't set the watchface to the clock

I have imported several .face files from facer and it automatically converts most of the fields. I had one face that I had to add in a text field but that's easy enough to do.
I have been using Facer for quite a while, I just downloaded watchmaker this morning and I must say I like the interface better in WatchMaker.

is it just me or battery life with watchmaker watchface is pretty bad compared to stock rotate watch face?
i tried this 2 watchfaces which is not so crowded with details with smooth second hand on :

maybe the fact the my watch is pretty new (got it yesterday and did 3rd charge cycle) effect battery life too .

I tried the Corv as well Jarvis, and although it's fairly smooth with WatchMaker, I was going to bed with 17-22% remaining, where immediately before using Watchmaker, I was putting it in the charging stand with 45-55% remaining at night.
I think you just have to determine what your priorities are... battery life or a sweeping second hand. I guess I'm more okay with a ticking second hand.

@Bimboy i changed the max frame rate in watchmaker settings to 15 , the second hand still moves pretty smooth and battery life is lot better in compare to when it was on 50 (default setting).
try too, maybe you won't need to prioritize

[Review] HTC Desire Eye

I'm going to talk about a few things in this review:
Battery Life
The Sense UI
The Screen
BoomSound
Camera's
Round-up/overall impression
Battery Life
The battery life is actually pretty good for the 2400mAh it has, I can easily play games all day and it'll have 20-10% when I'm going to bed (wake up at 6:30am and go to bed at 10:00pm) So it's pretty good for me. Sometimes it'll even last up to 28 hours.

This image might not be totally representative because I didn't charge my phone last night and the night before, but you get the idea.
The Sense UI
I have never been using HTC before, but I like their Sense UI, it's very smooth and it just "works". I'm actually used to the Sony UI or even the Samsung UI on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 but I like HTC's UI a lot more than both Sony's and Samsung's. The Blinkfeed was something I was afraid of being too "present" but I've actually just got used to it and now I actually use it, it's not some trashy gimmick you wont use and hogs RAM, I'm really impressed.
The Screen
HTC Has put a 5.2 inch, Full HD 1080p screen in this device, and it's lovely. It's bright, I'm watching all kinds of TV shows on them (while relaxing the hottub ofcourse, because it's waterproof!) The looking angles are good aswell, friends can easily watch a youtube video with me without having to struggle. I also have no trouble reading content from my screen in the bright sun.
BoomSound Speakers
The BoomSound Speakers and waterproofing were what originally pushed me over the edge to get it, and it delivered, I'm loving these nice clear tunes they deliver, I'm preferring them over my regular laptop's audio (HP Elitebook with SRS Audio Pro). The bass meight be a bit underdelivering (when outside) but that's not something I really am worried about.
Camera's
The Camera's are lovely, and especially the camera app. They even got Instagram to somehow integrate the frontfacing flash in their app, so if you take a photo from within instagram you can use your flash on both sides! It really makes your photo's better. I'm a bit dissapointed in the night performance of the back camera, but when you turn on HDR and adjust white balance it's all good.
Here's a sample photo I took outside a few days ago:
Round-up/overall impression
So I´ve been using this device since release date because I´ve pre-orderd it, I have the blue non-AT&T version and it rocks, I'm using it in water daily and when it gets dirty, I just put it under the tap and dry it off. Overall, I'm quite impressed by how quick it is, It's Snapdragon 801 is lovely and even on playing heavy games it delivers what you expect from a high-end device. I'm not someone who used to take selfie's but somehow, I started taking selfie's more often because of the lovely camera I got now (well, I come from a 0.3 mp frontcam so that's not really hard to beat). Compared to a S5 I would take this over it any day. Feel free to ask me any questions you have, I'll answer them honestly.

Could you post some more pictures about battery usage, SoT, maybe compare it with some other phone and etc.? The battery life is only thing I am afraid off, thinking about Desire Eye or Sony X Z2, but Sony let me down with XSp, so maybe will try HTC if battery life is ok. Thanks

I'm not really sure what pic's to do, but I'll post one after tomorrow. I don't really have another phone, my previous ones died.

Just take pic of your battery usage when in goes around 1-5%, how many hours it run, with how many hours screen on time and that with info about sync, brightness and etc.

http://imgur.com/ZlRzc3w,N7xjNdN,wwDUvv8,2mJSHFi#3 Album of some screens, I can't get it down to 5% in a day as it goes up to 28 hours with normal usage (spotify social media a few games here and there). I'm sorry It's at 37% right now.

Thank you, I just need screen on time, if u can get a pic of that, because i guess screen drains most of the battery, i think its on the next page, near battery history all time, usage of screen? Or u can see it if u have Batterystatus app or something like that

Don't have anything custom on it yet, trying to keep this one, well... not broken. And yes, I have a international blue one.

Thanks for the reply
