One one hand, new hotness, on the other hand, my 360 does everything I want it to do so why not just skip a gen and go with a 3rd gen device that will be even better. Same. What will push me over the edge is whether they made the HRM and step counter not-poo poo.

Hughmoris posted:For those with a Moto 360, are performance and battery life still an issue after a year of software updates? And is the metal wristband the way to go? I'm thinking about picking one up today for $149. Depends on who you ask. I've had mine for several months and I don't have an issue with battery life...easily lasts me a whole day. Occasionally, you'll see some stuttering in the UI, but not enough to be a deal-breaker for me. How much that bothers you is likely largely dependent upon how you use the watch. My watch is 90% for reading notifications, and for that use case the UI performance is better than fine.

Ixian posted:I'd use mine mostly for fitness tracking, so I'd get a nylon band too probably. Google Fit has come a long way recently while Fitbit seems stuck - not a huge fan of their closed ecosystem so I will probably switch (to Googles' bigger closed ecosystem, I know). Plus I already have my chest strap heartbeat sensor and speed/cadence sensors for my bike hooked up through my phone (neither works with Fitbit) so...It also looks a lot more readable in general, a big drawback of the Surge. I'm not sure exactly what you're expecting, but if you're expecting the heart rate or pedometer/activity tracking to be good, you're going to be disappointed.

The only thing that would get me to upgrade to the 3602 is better fitness stuff (or a moment of weakness for new gadgetry). I'm not sure if this is a Wear issue or a hardware issue. I also doubt any reviews will go into enough detail to actually track step counts or heart rate for long enough to actually get a good idea of accuracy...

LastInLine posted:I'll have to admit that I love my 360 so much more than I thought I would. I think the raised glass looks much better than the dished bezel on every other round watch and it doesn't feel oversized or out of place at all on my normal (not fat, not muscular) wrists (this is the 46mm version). This is exactly my feelings about the 360 1 and 2. I like that its different looking from most watches while still looking good.

Tunga posted:There are new gestures for "select" and "back" so you can look even more ridiculous in public. Funnily enough I was just thinking about how my OG 360 battery is way better nowadays compared to what I used to get. I go from 8AM to 10PM and have 35%-45% battery with ambient on. However, this might be due to the fact that it was acting funny a week ago and I factory reset it.

foutre posted:I'd like to get a smartwatch primarily to use as a fitness tracker/keep track of my calendar as well as keeping track of emails/SMS. The OP seemed a bit out of date, but from looking around it seems like the Samsung Gear S2 and Pebble Time seem to be well reviewed/meet those requirements. Does anyone have experience with these, or other recommendations? I do have a Samsung phone that I guess might be more compatible with a Samsung watch, but it's really not clear to me if that + the brighter screen is worth the extra cost, or if these are even the best watches to be looking at! Would love any advice. As far as I can tell, no smartwatch is good at keeping accurate data as a fitness tracker.

Why is it moronic? Don't switch. Wear the watch on your left arm and a fitbit flex on the right.

Desk Lamp posted:I really like the look of the steel 360/2 but $400 is squarely in the realm where I might feel buyer's remorse if this year's offerings render existing watches obsolete. $200 for the Urbane though, seems too good to pass up. If it helps any I don't feel any sort of upgrade envy when looking at current gen wear devices even though I'm using a 360/1. I mean, yeah they're smoother and have better screens but it's not like I spend more than a few minutes a day actually interacting with the thing.

I've never actually used Fit on my OG 360 to track an activity other than the passive step tracking it always does. Yesterday I went on a 4 mile moderate difficulty hike and tried tracking it via manually initiating a Fit walking activity. Started at around 80% battery life. Watch was dead after about 1.5 miles. Obviously the battery is getting old (big downside of smartwatches, IMO), but I feel like that might be particularly bad even accounting for the age of the watch. Which watches do better at this?

I just bought a refurbished ZenWatch 2 off of ebay for $79. My OG Moto 360 battery only lasts for like 5 hours anymore, so I figure this will hold me over for cheap until the next wave of Wear watches come out.

Got my refurbed ZenWatch 2 that is supposed to hold me over until Google's own smartwatches come out. It's an OK device. Nothing amazing, but it functions fine, doesn't look like poo poo, quicker than the OG Moto 360 I'm replacing. (except the fuckers sent me the wrong band. I'm going back and forth on doing the return or just buying a new band myself. There's a small but not insignificant chance I'd replace the band even if they sent me the correct one.)

Or you can buy a refurbished whatever looks nice to you to hold you over to see what the Google watches look like. I did this with a Zenwatch 2 for $79 and it's OK. (Just kidding, it's not OK. The ebay seller sent me one with wrong band. They raised price of the item on ebay, and I contacted them to make sure they would send me the correct item at the price I already paid. They said they would, so I sent the watch back. They just refunded my money and told me to rebuy it at the higher price...fuckers. I would've just kept it and bought a different band.)

With Wear 2.0 putting focus on fitness, I'm hoping Google's watches have new tech for heart rate and pedometer-ing. Though, increasing the pedometer accuracy of AW may just be down to the algorithm and not the accelerometer or whatever other hardware they use for measuring steps...
