The watch was released on September 5th and reached my doorsteps on September 10th. Out of the box, the watch looks beautiful with the classic round watch face and leather wristband. Everything looked really sleek. There's about 10 default watch faces that you can choose from, but I'm sure as time goes on developers will create more.
The Moto 360 charges wirelessly through a dock. I read a review where someone said the dock was chunky, but it honestly was not that bad. The dock and watch actually makes for a nice bedside clock at night. The watch does not take very long to get a full charge. Less than an hour and a half on the dock and it's good to go.
While the Moto 360 has the ability to be voice activated, it's not that responsive. It doesn't hear me say "OK Google" about 50% of the time which is annoying because it makes me look like an idiot yelling at my watch. Sometimes my phone responds (from my back pocket) instead of my watch. You can activate voice commands by tapping the watch face, but I thought it'd be cooler to just talk be able to talk to my watch.
Like other Google Android devices, the watch can show you cards with relevant information. For instance, mine shows me each day how long it'll take for me to get to work. Once basketball starts again, it'll probably display score cards for me as well.
The watch is said to be waterproof although I have been to scared to test that aspect and in any case, I don't want to ruin the leather band. Motorola will have metal bands available, but they're $80 each and I'm not going to fork over anymore for this watch. The watch face itself is covered with Gorilla Glass.
Overall, the Moto 360 is good watch. The sleek design is fantastic and breaks the norm of rectangular smart watches. I'm excited for new apps for the watch. I just wished voice response was a lot better.
