Just so you're aware, this watch is pretty much unsupported now. No more software updates, hence the price. The processor on the watch is very dated too.

How is their comment rubbish?
They are making people aware that there won't be any more updates to the OS, so newer features won't be available to anyone who buys it - same goes for phones, older models won't get updates either

Fair comment. But for a lot of people this watch will be fine for what they want to do.
But better to be informed of the issues you mention and then make a purchase or not based on the facts.

Moto 360 Positives
- very smart
- loads of stunning community made watchfaces available in the WatchMaker app, look amazing on that almost zero bezel screen Negatives
- processor is ancient, so can be laggy plus not so future proof
- battery life is terrible if you're a heavy user
- screen is never always on (even with ambient mode)
- doesn't feel like a watch to wear while doing the DIY!
Sony Smartwatch 3 Positives
- feels tough, I never feel I need to take it off to protect it
- great for sport - you can track swimming and running with it
- screen is always on and completely readable in sunlight, so great for digital info-filled watchfaces
- battery easily lasts the day without stressing Negatives
- not very 'dressy' feeling, optional stainless steel strap is virtually impossible to buy
- shaped like an Apple Watch, so prepare to answer the inevitable question....
- if you like reproduction watchfaces, they don't look great due to the large Bezel and square screen.
tl;dr: If you like bling get the Moto 360, if you value practicality and tech get the Sony SW3....

This is an insanely good deal for the 1st gen (Bear in mind this is 1ST GENERATION Moto 360), Heat!

1st gen is still a great watch. Use mine every day. You can squeeze about 2 days out of the battery if needed. Very handy for messages, emails, controlling music, recording fitness and saving reminders. And looks very nice with the metal band!

Ive had one for ages long before the 2nd edition came out and i dont know how you could get 2 days out of it ive never managed it even when new around 36 hours was the most you could hope for. Still a great watch i bought the leather strap version and have bought numerous metal straps and none have matched the case correctly even the expensive pebble one so now ive given up. I use my Sony SW3 as my everyday watch now but still like the 360 i even have 2 original LG G watches that i still wear one black and the other white and the black with a metal strap still looks nice and functions just fine so the guy who said this is unsupported i say so what if the G watches still work and they are one of the first why should this be any different, even the very latest watches only have the same processors and 512mb ram because massive powers not needed. I also have 2 martian notifiers and i have to say they are pretty good and you get 6 days battery life on one of those.

Brilliant watch. I wear mine every day. the cradle makes it even more user friendly and allows me to snooze my phone alarm. slightly bulky.
