Best aussehendste SmartWatch currently - Android Wear with room for improvement

Motorola Moto 360 SmartWatch (bright stainless steel case with gray leather strap) (Accessories)

Customer Review

UPDATE: downgraded to 2 stars - today indeed receive the 4.4W2 update, but also found that the loading graphics begins to bake in the screen quality ... therefore rather poor :-(

UPDATE II: since 4.4W2 suddenly aborts the connection to the mobile phone, which was not there before ... about 1-2 times per day. Let's see how evolved the. The ability to copy music on the clock, and then play with a corresponding Bluetooth Speaker or Headset is good, but in practice unsuitable for me.

The transfer takes too long and the operation (skip tracks with difficulty, no playlists, etc.) is not practicable.

All in all, currently bleibts at 2 stars - because both the product (design with the sensor, faulty quality control) and the SW (Android Wear still in infancy) All in all, does not leave a strong impression.

-----------------------------

Although I seem to have received a defective model, I can still The clock rate well because the error at the moment is limited and the use does not restrict wirkich. Must whether I return or kidney repair the clock let me decide yet.

To clock yourself:

By design, do not need much to mention - you either like the purist design, or you do not like. This is a matter of taste. For myself, the clock had even may be somewhat larger, but this is also a matter of taste. Also on the dimensions I have chronographs that are larger and in any case much more difficult - so this clock is not too bulky, at least for an average-sized men arms.

But which interferes with the design, the sensors were installed on the lower side. What would hardly interfere with a rectangular clock well (especially since you the there can accommodate in the context) is at a round SmartWatch rather a gross faux pas -> it into perspective, if you use dark watch faces - there I find it significantly less disturbing - but bright Watch Faces are thereby optically useless for me - the dark "corner" but significantly below bothers.

The clock is absolutely clean and processed with value and the basic design is the real highlight, which defines this clock from the competition - because of the functionality of the watches take little or nothing - which is probably due to the specifications of Android. Pulse sensor, pedometer, etc. have also almost all - so here no value add.

The built-in brightness sensor is working well - and controls the brightness also significantly lower than would be possible in the manual setting. For me too dark - so the clock is ticking for me to brightness level 1 and this is absolutely OK.

For functionality:

Android Wear is in its infancy and it shows. Both the access the menu and the start of apps designed to cumbersome than in older Android watches that have put on a modified Android.

Either you start the apps using voice control, or somebody wakes the clock, tapped twice to reach the voice control, then scroll down from there - At the end of the list from the menu there to start the apps - from there the desired app start .. . somehow a bit awkward for my taste.

Change Watch Faces goes for it with a long tap on the dial - just after a new search. Dials are some included, there are already numerous others to download (free and fee-based) - in Third Party Watch Faces the quality in my opinion varies greatly - especially many 3rd Party Watch Faces are nice designed, but act by the Resolution her slightly out of focus - this is not the case with some other as well as with the original watch Faces.

The notifications appear as sg cards - which you can then wipe or sometimes answers with predefined text, or open the appropriate app on your smartphone.

If you wipe away the cards, they are "lost" for me - where and if I can get back again, I have not yet figured out.

In addition, there still the pulse sensor and the pedometer - because there are pre-installed apps - tested short - pulse sensor works for me only if you can be calm hand and even then it takes a while - the pedometer -> Well, no idea what counts - my steps not sinds ... but is it a feature which is important in the clock.

Battery:

I have come across no problem about a whole day - in the evening I take off the clock, then put those in the charging station. The invites surprisingly fast. Branding of the display after loading I have not noticed. A first update (I never had another) has probably already screwed to the clear battery power - a second update (should come with Android Wear 4.4w2) this should improve again.

Apps:

Well - almost nothing useful there -> Calendar app, find the phone app, etc. but no real highlights yet available. No problem for me - for me the SmartWatch is mainly because to show the Notifications - and it works well.

What error is my clock?

It happens often (several times a day) that the display just shut down - even if you're just in the settings, or an app uses (eg heart rate) .... is then confirmed with a short vibration and the display is dark. Should not be. In addition, my also has a defective pixel - but only noticeable if you look closely - not a problem for me - but it shows the lack of final inspection of Motorola.

All in all there for me three stars - firstly, because the design compared to the first images that were released suffered by the sensors at the bottom of it and secondly because Android Wear is not very mature yet as such.

As always - all subjective - can be seen by everyone else. I like the clock, and I will definitely keep (after repair or replacement).

From the functionality (and also of the battery power) my Sony SmartWatch 2 was far far superior yet - from the design of course not.

If Android with Android Wear yet nachbesser, then becoming a 4 star - but the one point deduction there ultimately safe for the design, because this "sensor-corner" for me just the Design Experience but diminishes.
