Customer Rating
5.0
I picked up my Moto 360 on Saturday and feel like I have spent enough time with it to give a honest review. Generally, I really like it. It is comfortable, works as advertised, and enhances my phone experience. The important thing to remember is that it is a watch, that has smart capabilities. I have it paired with my Samsung Galaxy S5 and have not experienced any issues with connectivity or notifications.
Battery life: Managing the screen brightness is the key here. The standard settings within the watch allow for 5 brightness levels (+0) but I have found that the Wear Mini Launcher app lets me dial back the brightness even more using an Android-like brightness slider. The lowest setting is still plenty bright for my daily grind. I have found through using this method that after 12 hours I have 65-70% battery remaining which is more than manageable.
I will use exercise for the context of practical use. My biggest disappointment is the lack of fitness app support. I had to stop using MapMyRun because it still does not have an Android Wear app. RunKeeper's app is not perfect though, since it does not allow you to select a pre-saved route from the Android Wear interface, only allowing you to start or stop an activity. While running I can see my run stats on the screen, and I use my Jaybird Freedom bluetooth headphones with no issues. I can control music from the watch pre, and post workout as long as I start Play Music before I place the phone in my armband. You cannot open Play Music from Android Wear. For during workout music control I use the buttons on the headphones so this is not a problem.
The biggest complaint is the microphone and "Okay Google" integration. It is tricky and you have to say your command at the right time...
I am completely happy with my purchase and it has met my expectations as a watch first, smart device second. I am looking forward to seeing how this platform develops...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does it have an always on watch face?
It can, but it is not advised due to battery concerns. The recommended setting turns the face off when it is not in viewing position...
