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!

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.

ordered 2 one for me and one for bro ● HEATTTTTTTT

damn the leather one was 79 quid......was about to get it and went out of stock :disappointed: snooze you lose.....

Good find ordered now to decide on the face.

missed out on leather one :disappointed: , ordered metal one tho, thanks op!

best looking smartwatch i've seen

Can you receive messages and send messages without phone nearby through wifi?

Any iPhone users & their vivid experience with the use of this watch & their phone ?

Got one and really pleased with it, does what I need and looks good. Do I want another no... Have I ordered another yes. :stuck_out_tongue:

£79.00 for the Moto 360 w/ leather band still at John Lewis - for those after a lower price / leather strap. :smiley:

OOS

There's a few apps for watch faces, I pretty much just use Facer now. Easy to use and free watch faces every week

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B015S451Q0?ascsubtag=hawk-422165008-21&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B015S451Q0&linkCode=df0&pc_redir=T1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=hawk-future-21
That's the newer one £143

That's the original one.. The new one has the button at 2 o'clock not 3..

Second gen watch has the 'button' at the 2 o'clock position rather than 3 o' clock​ position of this one.

​The battery was terrible on launch, barely managing a day but mine will just about scrape through from morning til the next evening. I guess 36 hours might be a better figure, but that's still 2 day times worth of use.

Like you I also bought a metal strap to swap out the leather one but never really liked it so swapped back

I have and like this watch, have owned it for probably a year and a half now. I use facer with it to get a word clock so my watch face says "ten past six" in English for convenience. It's also great to be aware of incoming notifications without having to pull your phone out of your pocket, especially when travelling on foot or driving.

The LG G Watch Urbane LTE seems like the best successor but I want wireless charging :/

Great price but the problem is that watch will no longer receive updates (wont get android wear 2.0) which at somepoint means it also stop receiving app updates and many apps will no longer work due to the older OS. Still a good deal.

How compatible is it with iOS. I have the iPhone 6s

How big is the face on this? Like would it look stupid on a womans wrist?

​his comment isn't rubbish. it's not getting wear 2.0 and the processor is slow, it was slow when it came out! it also has a problem with the backplate cracking. I say this as some who has had one since it came out.

Having said all that for this price it's a great deal.

Didn't wake up wanting a smartwatch ....rude not to at that price!

I had the Rolex watch face, I think it's fair to say nobody was going to mistake the two

Having had both, I'd get the Sony Smartwatch 3 for the same price. If anybody is interested in my comparison I'm happy to provide it!

so it's a case of captain obvious..

Ordered - shame about the leather one for £79.99 - but for a hundred quid - why not!

Picked one of these up for £30 on Amazon a few months ago, great for the money although I doubt i'd spend more than £100 on one.

Review:
https://youtu.be/EyXQdmJy0_E

I always thought it was this price :laughing: hence I will not be buying one, jeez is that a real RRP? :confused:

thats not actually android wear though, just a cut down version of the older android 4.4 os. Will have many limitations and your support/features are all reliant on a small chinese company.

Your comment still isn't valid

Regardless the price I wouldn't buy a smartwatch that is already obsolate. Motorola already confirmed that the original Moto 360 will not be receiving the Android Wear 2.0 update. As soon as apps get updated for new version you might start loosing functions.
http://www.androidcentral.com/original-moto-360-will-not-receive-android-wear-20-update

46mm . Quite big for average person. I recommend you check the size in-store or other chains who sell before ordering it.

​Hi, yes unless you have thick wrists then it would tend to look too big. As wife tried mine on and promptly gave it back.

...or at a better price (£84.99) if you can find it instore at CPW - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sony-smartwatch-3-84-99-carphone-warehouse-2454681

I think you should stop trying to sound intelligent..

These were brilliant, but....DAT FLAT TYRE! :disappointed:

Curry's have the Sony SmartWatch 3 for £99, is that the better watch??

someone already posted a mini review in this very discussion

:smiley:

OK mate

Ah sorry, missed that!

Nah thanks voted cold

The link go's to a us website.

Nothing wrong with this one I have trial 14 days : ) Moto 360 2 version and Nothing special at all for me ....
But for some people always on contact this is a brilliant thing

Im looking this 360 as nice accessory so this metal version is perfect for 99 if you looking for smart accessory

The all point to have Smartwatch not to miss important calls or messages or emails and it is works superb for some people They told that is the best thing after phone

Grey leather one is now back in stock @ £79 saying more than 10 in stock
URL is below;

I had bought the Stainless Steel one yesterday, but purchased the grey leather one above also, see which one i like better, as JL offer free returns via Collect+, Post Office, MyHermes or JL Shops.
Perfect

Ordered in leather for £79. Hopefully this will continue to work with third party apps for some time!

Wanted a leather one for a long time, but it went oos yesterday, ordered it now for £79. It should still work just fine for those who want notifications, beautiful watchfaces and a bit of activity tracking. For £79 it is a bargain and at least it looks like a real watch.

As long as your phone and the watch have a connection (be that Wifi / BT on watch and WiFi, BT or LTE on phone) it works fine.

As for updates, security updates WILL continue, the only thing Moto have said is it wont get AW 2.x

What do the newer models so that this original one doesnt?

Leather version is back in stock!: http://www.johnlewis.com/motorola-moto-360-smartwatch-android-wear-light-case-and-leather-band/p1711153

Edit: gone

however moto360 1Gen is not on Andriod Wear 2.0 support list

Except it's not perfect, hence the newer model with future updates, a better CPU and better battery-life.

I have one of these since launch, it is dead and won't be getting android wear 2.0. It does what it needs to decently enough (the heart race sensor works at random times though and the battery isn't too good if you have used something like a Pebble)

I have the fossil q founder like the fact it looks and feels like a watch

Nice watch and very smart - its going to help me save £99

​works fine with the latest s7 edge so I'd say it's supported

​yes as long as you paired to wifi with your phone at least once

​skymaster face is good

Cheers OP. Bought one to see what it's like. Free returns free collection from JL/Waitrose. Nothing to loose! Have some heat

They have grey leather in stock at Cardiff. 4 of them in the cage :-) Had a customer put one by today

What's the different between the 1st gen and 2nd gen?
Thanks

About £100 quid

here's my watch, I love it. At first it was quite laggy when I was using it with my iPhone 6 and I kinda got bored of it but now I switched to an LG G5 and the watch is on the latest software it's smooth as butter, custom watch face looks amazing and the apps are very useful. My favourite one is the swing by swing golf app, gives you live yardage so no need for a Garmin golf watch! I've had a few compliments in the office at work, it looks very smart and not at all geeky.

Didn't need one, never thought about buying one, so of course when I saw this listing I had to buy one. Not sure whether to add heat seeing as OP has just cost me £99 ;-)

Does it work with apple phone ???

had one of these that I inherited from my father-in-law. it doesn't hold a charge any longer and I looked into replacing the battery but they were only available in aliexpress and not cheap. when I did use it I really loved so I am tempted. I have a moto x 2nd gen and it really worked well with that

Thanks op bought one after 3 years of searching

anyone know if i can install golf gps software on this similar to the garmin s2 ?

If you read 5 posts back then you will find the answer. How simple was that?

​Hello mate how big is your wrist I got a big wrist like u worried it won't fit cheers

​Well, I'm sure with the pace of technology you can agree that software support is essential. I'm a developer after all....why would I back the market? They're not paying me. I'm supporting the consumer here, Lenovo are not supporting the watch, in fact the company(Motorola) is at an unstable situation at this moment in time. Don't speak rubbish.

​I didn't say it wouldn't work, did I? :neutral_face:

​My wrist is quite big, but the watch comes with 2 spare links, I added one of these and now it fits perfectly. You can also change strap for any normal 22mm watch strap.

I just bought one thank you :-)

Where did you get the watchface from?

]
How do bud
how did you get the Tag screen on the watch and where did you get it from ?
Cheers
Adam

I need this watchface right now. I'm really looking forward to picking mine up and designing some!

See here, I think it's the app Facer you need - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/facer-tag-heuer-collection-t2882374

Cheer bud appreciated :-)

Looks nice, but the dial at 46mm is massive, and will look a big naff on small wrists.
Reading up on it its a good deal provided you know that there will be no AW2.0 updates due to the hardware being a bit old and slow. Plus there have been issues (bizarrely) with the case back cracking, and current issues after the Marshmallow upgrade. I note the version 2 some in two sizes so you can pick 46mm or 42mm which seems to be a sensible choice. Obviously the new watch commands a significant premium in price.
Hot - as long as you know the limitations

Motorola has created a sizing guide so you can actually see how big the watch will look on your wrist. I've got the 42mm Rose Gold 2nd generation and even though I love it , I wish that colour came in the 46mm as I find the 42mm a bit small for my needs (I like big screens). If Motorola brings out a 3rd generation, I will definitely get the 46mm.

The sizing guide is here

https://www.motorola.com/sites/default/files/library/storage/products/moto-360/desktop/us/Moto360_2ndGen_SizeComparion_FitGuide_US.pdf

I got the leather one and it's going back as I can't get it to function correctly. The screen flickers on/ off randomly. Most apps won't function. Keeps losing connection and I can't even modify the watch faces. Oh and it's getting hot enough that I had to take it off my wrist! Piece of crap.

​My wrist is quite big, but the watch comes with 2 spare links, I added one of these and now it fits perfectly. You can also change strap for any normal 22mm watch strap.[/quote]
How did you go about adding the links, i actually took it JL watch section and they couldnt add the additional links saying it was very different to a normal watch!

I bought one and need to add some links. Have you got a special tool or is there an easy way to do it at home?

Says 1700 odd left when adding loads to basket, might wait and see if it drops.

Anyone found any good deals for the 42mm version??

Got the metal one, but unfortunately it doesn't play nice with my Z5, connects successfully only once. Spent most of yesterday resetting phone & watch as well as trying different versions of Android Wear.

Nice watch and out of the box was exactly the right fit for me, shame.

Just unboxed mine and charged/updated and ready to link to iPhone. One comment I would say off the bat is that it's very warm to the touch. Anyone else had this issue? I don't want burn marks on my wrist if this is a known fault...

biggest issues i have battery life dreadful and no option to keep the watch face permenant ? or am i missing something?

ordered!

iPhone users have an app that can be downloaded.
You will need an android device to kick off upgrade to version 1.3 then it looks like another update downloads after this; left it overnight for this. After this point Android Wear becomes aware of the iPhone Bluetooth paring process.

Ordered and have been wearing it today after getting extra links added to strap.

Tech wise this watch is v1 but this is why I bought it.
Gorilla tough glass on face.
Brushed metal finish sets it off .
Comfortable and big just like me.

Hiya Bud
I cannot seem to see that exact face where is it and did you use facer or watchmaker for it ?
Many thanks
Adam

I got mine for £79. went into store there was one left but it had been placed next to a price sign of £79 I assume for the leather strap version. Anyway when scanned it showed £99 but seen as it had been left next to the £79 sign they let me have it for that. I didnt even ask. No connection issues and two updates since buying it yesterday.

Check settings as it must be in winter mode, keeps you warm you see. Well one arm so you will need two 360's

Lol. I think it just needed an upgrade... Anyway, whoever said that they can get nearly 2 days of usage must have been lying. Took the watch off charge at 7am, by 7pm is was dead.... No use to me so back to JL it goes

​hi dear where did you buy sony smart watch please? im planning a suprise for my habby for the 18th wedding anniversary.
thanks in adavance.

Do you need to carry your phone as well, or can you put the sim in it?

I've had mine on since 8am and its at 70%, granted i've not used it that much and still learning what it can do but even as just a watch i quite like it :smiley:

Update 21:36 @ 36% that will probably do me, fortunately I have a wireless charger at work for my phone which works with this too

loving the watch and a great upgrade from my gear 1st gen. Got mine in-store in London, which was still showing them at 99quid.

Showed the chap the post and he reduced it to 79 :smile: Joy of joys!!!. Replaced the steel strap with a silicon one via amazon, but wanna get those steel connect adaptors. Waiting for my watch bumper, also via amazon to arrive....I can easily get a couple days out of mine.....I take it off and it switch it off at work and at night. All depends on your usage really. I wish all the music controls were on one page though and having to go into settings to switch the thing off is silly.....there are certainly areas where the 1st gen gear is more straight forward to use. I thought I would hate the flat tyre screen but I don't even notice it anymore. Also the watch looks lovely, such a nice device and an amazing bargain!!!

Do also check out the You of Tube for helpful reviews, hints and tips :smiley:

I'm would've liked the device to have been upgraded to AW 2.0 and feel they could as I don't get any lag etc and from my device.....As a premium smart watch having to upgrade every 2 years is very poor......I've never had upgrade my Oris watch. That is one of the reasons as well as battery life why smart watches aren't as popular as they could be.....I've personally think everyone should have one.....Hope you all enjoyed the story and well done to Wales for destroying Belgium......world ranking No.2!?!?!.....My axxx! :smile: Great post and heated awhile back :smiley:

no, the watch does not take a sim. Hope the helps. Taking a call on my 1st gen gear without my bluetooth headphones made me feel like DICK Tracey...... :wink:

Still in Stock, just ordered one!

Still on the hangers in Swindon store - variety from leather strap at £79, chrome steel at £99 and black steel at £109. Got the steel with leather, tempted to buy the black as well at this price. Good spot OP!

Thanks to the OP managed to snag one of these. The band is a little tight for me even with the extra links, and Motorola support have no stock. Anyone got any idea where an extra link or two could be purchased? I'm afraid my Googl skills have let me down

​cheers. might pop in tomorrow

Sent mine back last week, initially battery seemed ok at best but after about a week of using it, it would be down to about 15%-20% after about 10-12 hours of wearing it, shame as I quite liked, one thing I would have liked would have been to have a speaker on it for handsfree calls
