Who's getting one? Better yet, who has one?
I've been researching these things off and on for a couple months. Now that I've seen what Apple has up it's sleeve I know there is no game changer curve ball on the horizon just yet. So, I'm going to opt in as an early adopter and get one of these:
The Moto 360
It comes in black and the above stainless steel silver.
While they're not selling them with metal bands right now in Canada, they will be soon. Only problem is that they're going to charge an arm and a leg for the bands. Standard watch bands won't fit the watch right and my damage it but Pebble Steel bands will fit. Here is an image I Googled of what the two look like together:
Pricing this out you're looking $310 before tax for the watch, plus the nice stainless steel band. So you're just barely in the territory of your mid-range quality time piece, only its voice controlled, gorilla glass 3.0, touch screen, gives you directions, the weather, the score of the game, your emails, texts, counts your steps, tracks your heart rate, etc.
You'll get only a little over 24 hours on a charge though. That's the downside but this is one of the few smart watches that looks cool and offers great functionality.
