    Best Buy deal is amazing indeed. My many thanks to Mazda 3s

    I bought the Motorola 360 with a T-Mobile prepaid ZTE phone. It was funny because the sales associate was kind of a douche about the whole thing claiming that the $100 deal off was bundling and hence was only valid for Android phones that were $129 and up. <span style="line-height:1.4em;">I actually had to convince him that any phone goes and he wouldn't have any of that at least in the beginning saying that the language on the ad is a little bit sketchy. Especially this part here "Best Buy may require an existing line of service to receive a new 2-year plan" which seems to nullify pre-paid devices. In the end though I prevailed. All in all, day two and I am really happy with my Moto 360 watch I can't wait for the ability to pair with my iPhone 6. And by the way round watches are way cooler than rectangle ones IMO (yes, I have tried the Apple Watch and I don't like it).</span>

    Oh man! Not the round argument again....

    I tried on the watch today at lunchtime. My expectations were high, but I was stunned at how beautiful the watches are in person. The feel is pretty amazing. I can’t wait (.. but I will apparently be waiting until June)!

    Lucky you've seen it, to bad you have to wait so long. The first one I'll see will be the one I get on the 24th :) 42 mm space gray sport. And for everything I've read, I can't wait.

    Are you at all concerned about reports from some that the space gray watch is cheap-looking in person?

    Since you are obviously not in a position to go into an Apple Store, I do wonder how easy the return process will be by mail.

    And that makes me wonder if the $17,000 editions will be shipped with any extra special care ... They did ship the Hope diamond through the U.S. mail after all ...

    ...
    Why should he be? Despite the assertions of "some" that space gray watches look cheap, the overwhelming number of reports are that Watches look incredible in the metal.

    idrey, 80 percent of all the watches sold are circular

    I predict that in less than six months you will buy an AppleWatch after this thing has compatability issues with your 'iPhone'

     

    So you spend $200 on a second class watch that may or may not work with your iPhone. seriously.


     

    Sorry I've been busy. Two things. The total for the watch plus the phone was $119 and not $200 but I do see your point. I guess we will have to wait and see whether I will have an Apple Watch in six months. I posted because I like having an alternative. A cool one IMO. Of course, for some it may be cool for others like you it may not! I just thought in light of the rumored pairing capability (through the Apple Notification Center Service (ANSC) APIs) with the iPhone 6 (I've had every model since the first one that I bought June 28, 2007 btw) some people may want to check out an alternative. Of course others who are willing to pay as much as I paid for the Moto Watch just to get a second band for their Apple Watch might outright dismiss this. I am cool with that if you are cool with the fact that there are people who HATE rectangular watches but still want a smart watch.

    Yeah is what I've read, but I'll be wearing it all the time and I work in construction, so no matter which one I get I will get badly hurt. I am looking more toward v2 for the ss version. The ss looks very nice

    What's there to comment about the cheap race-to-the-bottom product? I'd prefer wasting my time with other things in life.
