I can't decide on the design of the new Moto 360. How does this look? Ignoring the band of course.

That bezel is hideous. It looks like something you'd buy at Fossil.

I'm not saying this about any particular poster but whenever I see someone asking for advice on these forums I always think about the photos posted of goons and realise there's a good chance the person asking for advice on say... the watch they've designed for themselves... are probably being advised by a fedora/mlp/furry/etc. lunatic and if they told you to wear a certain watch in real life you'd instinctively do the exact opposite.

ugh those lugs are so gauche  Actual goon. Edit: in a shocking development, Motorola didn't completely forget about Canada this time. Many versions of the new 360 available for pre order at best buy: http://www.bestbuy.ca/Search/SearchResults.aspx?path=ca77b9b4beca91fe414314b86bb581f8en20&query=moto+360 $380 to $500

Verizon has the LG G Watch for $50. Would it be a decent price to get a feel for Android Wear and have a cool looking watch or should I pass?

This was exactly my thought, when I bought mine used from a coworker. It's not the best looking watch out there, but it gives you an idea of if you'd actually get any reasonable use out of it. It doesn't have any of the fancy sensors or the built in wifi that the other watches have, but it's still a great way to get your feet wet and see if you want to invest more.

So Moto Connect updated last night and now I have a bunch of new interactive watch faces. I think some of these are from the new 360, so it's cool the the old one is still getting love.

That said, the new Dials face (the old one was renamed World Clock) doesn't look as nice as I hoped. Maybe it looks better on the new models.

I can't decide whether black bezel / silver frame / black strap will look good on the new 360 or whether the bezel/frame really need to be the same colour. I like the silver buckle/lugs as kind of highlights around a mostly black watch, but I'm not sure if it'll look weird/cheap. I'd happy take an all black watch with a grey leather strap but for some reason there is no such option this time. Any opinions from people who understand fashion and poo poo?

Tunga posted:My 2014 360 is black/black and it's generally unscathed despite me bashing it into walls and poo poo a bunch of times, so I'm not too concerned about that. I also find it a bit boring to look at, like it looks a bit too much like a gadget rather than a watch, hence my consideration of some silver. I like the silver one. Black watches don't look as nice in general IMO. My silver Huawei Watch will supposedly be shipped tomorrow. We'll see if Google Store Canada can be a bit more reliable than they were with the Nexus 6...

The multicolor one looks bad. The silver one looks most like a real watch and the black one looks like a fitness tracker or something.

I really prefer the options on the new 360, give me a silver case, black bezel and silver metal band so horribly denied to me as a UK 360 owner from release.

amoled is a lot nicer at night since only a handful of pixels are lit up to show the time. It's a lot less bothersome to you and people around you than the backlight you get with an LCD.

It's a lot less bothersome to you and people around you than the backlight you get with an LCD. But without an ambient light sensor, you are fiddling with the brightness manually to make that happen. I can go straight from a bright lit indoors to my car in the middle of night and have it be the perfect brightness in both situations without touching it. I would pay MORE to get the ambient light sensor. It's that useful to me.

I definitely wouldn't mind a light sensor but surely they can do it with a full circle? Can't they stick it through a hole on the side? I just put my watch in theatre mode in the car at night, etc, would rather do that and have a full circle.

I won't deny that I'd rather have a protrusion with the sensor and a full circle than the flat tire but I'd 100% prefer having one to not having one. Doesn't Apple put theirs behind the screen? Tunga posted:To be fair, every report I've seen says that the Huatch screen is nicer than the new 360's. Brighter, higher resolution, and sapphire glass. AMOLED also has potential battery life benefits. Nitrousoxide posted:amoled is a lot nicer at night since only a handful of pixels are lit up to show the time. It's a lot less bothersome to you and people around you than the backlight you get with an LCD. Not that all of this isn't true but I really don't like predominantly black themes in anything, I'm certain I'll be using a white or near-white clockface. I'm not saying the 360/2 is the perfect Android Wear device or even my perfect Android Wear device, it's just the one I like best. Even minor things like the way the screen bezel is dished on the Huawei versus convex on the 360/2 or the additional area between the bezel and the lugs on the Huawei just aren't aesthetically pleasing to me.

Well, you can tap the button on android wear watches twice to automatically go into theater mode and three times to turn on brightness boost. I think that's easy enough to offset most of the hassle of not having an ambient sensor if you just set the normal brightness to indoor mode and tap it when you're outside and can't see.

My favorite watch face you can't even see the flat tire. (not that I care the slightest bit about the flat tire) BadApps Quartz I like its retro feel.

So what would you guys recommend for a decent watch around the $100 mark or so? I don't mind used. I had the LG G watch to get a taste of wear, but I'm ready for something nicer, but can't afford $250-300.
