I just wanted to offer up a review of the Moto 360 smartwatch, in case anyone here was interested in one. Here are some of my thoughts on it:

• So far, I've worn the watch every day. Now, 6 days is a small sample size, but considering I haven't worn a watch daily for...I'd say...22 years, I'd say it's something.
• One reason I never started wearing a watch again was because I had the time on my phone. Well, it's been surprisingly nice to not have to take the phone out of my pocket and wake it up whenever I want to know what time it is.
• I'm glad I didn't own the watch before the watch face market opened up. I've found a really great one that gives me the time, day of week, date, current weather conditions, current temp, weather conditions for the next three days, and the current battery life of the watch. I love it.
• The process of changing watch faces is super easy. You can do it by long-pressing your current watch face and swiping left/right, the tapping the one you want. The even easier way is to use the Android Wear app on your phone. You can browse the faces, and when you see the one you want you can tap it and it'll instantly show up on the watch. It's a great way to move through a bunch of faces to see which one you like. The Wear app in general does a great job at making it easy to manage your watch.
• Speaking of battery life, that's the one big flaw of the watch. It's OK, just not great.
• The ambient light sensor is surprisingly good! This amazes me, because no phone I've ever owned has done screen brighness based on ambient light well. I always find that it never makes the phone bright enough in bright light or dim enough in dim light. But this watch does it perfectly. Strange.
• What actually annoys me more than the battery life is the manner in which the watch wakes up. In theory, the watch goes to sleep when your wrist is at your side or not in
  front of your face. Then, when you lift the watch to look at it, the screen wakes up. To be fair, if I lift my hand from my side to looking at it like you'd look at any watch, the screen does always light up without fail. The problem? I'm not always moving my wrist from that exact position OR to that exact position. For example, I'm spending a lot of time on the floor these days, playing with a baby. Often, but hand is still resting on my side, but in 3D space, this probably looks to the watch like it's in the "human is looking at watch" mode, which eventually goes to sleep. Then if I move my hand on the horizontal plane to bring it to my face, I end up looking at a black screen. This happens just often enough to be quite annoying. I've enabled a mode that supposedly keeps the screen on more of the time, in a dimmed mode. This has helped a little, but has far from eliminated the problem. I'm hoping this might get worked out as time goes on, but it's easily my biggest annoyance with the watch.
• Another annoyance is the manner in which notifications live on the watch. From what I can tell, all notifications will pop up when received and fill the bottom half of the screen with a snippet of of the message. That's fine, and I'd be ok if that sat there for anywhere from ten seconds to two minutes. My problem is that some notifications apparently just sit there until you deal with them. Not only that, but sometimes I want to leave the notification, I just want to push it out of my watch face. I can do that, but only temporarily. As soon as the watch goes to sleep the notification will pop back up again. I have to dismiss the notification entirely.
• A couple other annoyances: "OK Google: note to self" does not let me choose to send myself an email. It will ONLY do Google Keep or another note taking app if you have one installed. I prefer to have an email sent to myself as a modified GTD process I have. I also notice that sometimes the voice recognition takes quite some time to connect and work through the recognition process.
• Current apps are slowly starting to expand into Android wear, and that's super cool, but I wish there were an easy way to see what apps have wear integration. This is different from Wear-only apps, which have their own section in the Play Store. There are some good apps out there, but I haven't had much of a chance to try these out. The main one I'm using right now is one called "Baby Time." I launch it every time I'm about to pick up my son, and it locks the screen so it only shows the time/date, and will only go away if you swipe up twice then down twice. Until I started using that, my kid was constantly accidentally activating the voice recognition mode, and I ended up with some weird stuff happening on my watch
• The last problem I have is a weird one. I've started using Hangouts for all my messaging, and I like it, but there are still issues with it. In the app, for example, I can finally specify that I want all SMS messages to be sent from my Google Voice phone number. However, every time I send a text from my Moto 360, whether it's a new text or a response to a text sent to either number on my phone, it ALWAYS sends as my cell phone number. I don't want that at all, because I don't want anyone to use that number. Hopefully Motorola or Google fixes this problem.
• My first "wow" moment came when one of my clients sent me a very basic email, saying I could drop by his house any time to help him out. His email was a very quick "Come over any time." I was able to read that on my watch, I was able to swipe left twice and tap "Reply," then choose one of the prepopulated responses of "OK." The moment I tapped "OK" it initiated the send automatically (which I could cancel for a few seconds if it was accidental). I then archived the email and was done, in about 5 seconds, without ever taking my phone out of my pocket. That's the moment I was completely sold.
• In terms of appearance, I just haven't seen a smartwatch I like better. This, of course, is going to be a completely subjective issue for everyone, but personally I find it to be the most attractive of the watches announced. It could be a little slimmer, but I'm fine with how big the diameter is.

I know I spent most of this review detailing my annoyances with the watch, but I'm really enjoying it, and I find myself going for my phone a whole lot less. Even if you cut out the number of times I only take out my phone to check the time, I think that removes about a couple dozen instances a day.

I'd say that if you're interested in an Android Wear watch, don't get scared off by the battery life issues. They're not a huge problem, IMO, and the benefits of the watch far outweigh the problems I have with it.
