I've only been using the watch for two days, but so far I have mixed feelings on the watch so far.

Battery Life: Many articles are saying the recent firmware upgrade gives the Moto 360 significantly better battery life, but in my first days of use I am only getting about 15 hours on a charge with ambient mode off. Hopefully that will improve as the watch better calibrates its battery estimates (and I stop playing with the watch so much).

Looks: The watch itself has a nice look, but the round shape is a bit "cartoony". Also, while the gray band feels nice to the touch, it has a cardboard look to it which I am not a fan of. Luckily the watch body's stainless steel matches well with the Pebble Steel band, which fits perfectly and definitely improves the look (see attached picture). Best Buy sells them for $20, a much better price than what Motorola is saying the cost of their steel band will be (closer to $80).

Android Wear: Android wear is in it's infancy, and it shows. While notifications work well, the ability to interact with them varies by application. For example, GMail and Hangouts allow you to reply by voice, but the stock Email client gives the option to reply but it doesn't work. Also, there is no way to see a message once you have dismissed it. Finding the "launcher" is tricky, it is buried at the bottom of the options in the OK Google screen. A third party launcher is available, but it can get in your way and isn't ideal. I think Google will improve the features as they move to the L release, but time will tell.

I would recommend this to a friend!
