Hi there,
I've got a Moto 360 2nd gen 42 mm since November
I chose the small diameter 42 mm as I feared the 46 mm were too big for my relatively small wrist (unfortunately I had no way of trying them before buying from Amazon).
Now I'm in doubt I made a bad choice...
As I'm becoming long sighted getting older (...), maybe the 46 mm with its bigger screen makes reading small carachters easier (e.g. the date in the original "Digital" Motorola watch face).
Anybody had a chance of comparing both the screens and give me some hints?
Thanks in advance!

I chose the 46mm and i have small wrists. I bought one of the stainless steel bands from best buy with it. I was able to try both on there and i like the bigger screen!

To me the bigger screen was ugly on my wrist. I carry my reading glasses all the time so it's not a big deal to see the smaller screen.

I got the 42mm and recently compared mine to the 46mm at Best Buy. IMO, getting the 46mm size wouldn't make things dramatically better vision-wise. Yes, things would be a little bigger, but only by a little.
Btw, my vision is technically near-sighted, but my vision is so bad that I also can hardly even see even with my face on whatever I'm trying to read. I'm only in my late 20's/early 30's though, and I require prescription glasses.

Hi there!
I've got a chance of buying a refurbished 46mm Moto 360 from Amazon, the screen is a little more easy on the eye if compared to the 42mm
I made some photos to show the difference in size, even on my small wrist

i found this watch for around 80 euro online. i am wondering how it has held up this long for everyone else as the guy i am buying it from said he bought it near the release date or is it worth it to add the extra money and get the g watch r
Check the hardware specs.
G Watch and G Watch R are nearly identical.
(G Watch R has the Round Display, 10mAh more battery and also a pulse sensor.)
I orderd a G Watch R from Amazon, but sent it back after 2 days.
Was not worth the money (180€).
Now I bought a "used" Lg G Watch for 55€ in excellent condition.
Totally happy with it.

One thing you left out is the display. The G Watch R has an P OLED display which , IMO, is better for a watch and one reason I would upgrade to it if the dang thing weren't so expensive. (Got my G Watch for $89 at Best Buy with free $50 Play Store credit)
I bought my G watch for 50USD used. Excellent watch. I like it better than my 360 overall. I wear my 360 to church and thats it. Only thing I miss from the 360 is the ambient light sensor while wearing my G watch. I won't be getting the G Watch R or the the Urbane since the only thing I find useful is the screen upgrade ( brighter, sharper, and better on power consumption). Not worth 300+ IMHO. I will stay with the G Watch till a worthy successor comes out that justifies it's price tag.

I got my G Watch at $100. I find it totally worth it... It also helps me cheat in exams
Yes!
Got my LG G Watch for $90 on Swappa. Totally loving it, and it looks really Geeky. I keep a simple Watch-face and people think it's an ordinary watch, but when I tap the screen, people's mind=blown. With the 5.1W update, the battery lasts me 4 days on moderate use, and this is good, since it used to lasts me only for 1 day on 4.4W. I even put a metal strap on it, so it looks really classy. The fact that it has LCD makes outdoor viewing easy, and there is a very little to no chance of screen burn-in. I don't mind charging it because it takes only 45 min. to completely charge. But the part replacement is really costly.
BOTTOM LINE:Yes, totally worth it.
Just got one last week as an impulse buy. I figured the price was too good not to give Android Wear a shot, and I'm absolutely impressed. Although I did hesitate and nearly purchased the G Watch R, considering both the strengths and limitations of AW at the moment, I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much at all. It buzzes when my messages come in, handles all my voice commands like a champ and the battery sits idle for days when I don't need it. That's pretty much all I expect from the platform, and consider this a pretty good placeholder until some newer generation flies in and actually blows me away.

5.0.2 for me.
I'm on the same boat, g watch just got a big discount here in mexico but im worried it might be too late to get it, but it's cheap or should I wait for Moto 360 2
For a basic watch, it is worth getting. I have had the G Watch since Christmas. I have order me a Gear Neo because I want more out of my watch.

Why if you don't mind me asking? AFAIK, the G Watch has better specs then the 360 which relates to faster performance and longer battery life. Aesthetics go, I believe the 360 definitely looks better, has the ambient light sensor and WiFi.
Just ordered from att for $50...that should be a good enough deal right?

I guess. I wouldn't pay that much this late in the game tho. I got mine for $6 PLUS a $50 Google play egift card in November.
I really like the 5.1.1 update but I'm a tiny bit disappointed we don't have wifi.
I just want my theater mode to vibrate like it used to.
I mean I guess if you get a lot of texts or notifications during the busy part of your day, then sure. But I'd say save your money and get something newer.
I just got in on the $50 ATT deal. To me it's worth it. This is my first smart watch, and it does everything I need it to do. I have a TomTom Runner to cover all of my running needs, and I use the LG G Watch for everyday wear. I got both watches, brand new, cheaper than my wife's FitBit Charge, which she loves. Make sure you do your research and figure out what you want out of a watch. You're going to get a mixed bag of opinions. Just get what fits your needs.
found mine for 60€ (in a stairwell I could only pair it to my phone to make sure it worked).
It's cheaper than a Toy Watch.
update 5.1.1 fixed many issues about screen freezing in 5.0.2 so now it's perfectly usable.
finding a good wristband can be complicated as it's a standard size, there is soooooo many choice (right now hadley roma)
$50 guys. Of course it's worth it. G watch for around $50 or some crappy Disney watch from walmart.
I just jumped on the G Watch bandwagon because I found it refurbished for $45. It was cheaper then some of the chinese models and has Google Play and well supported.
I have been looking at reviews and it seems the G Watch is great for a starter watch. The Samsung Models use a Tizen OS and require a Samsung phone.
Things that I wish the G Watch had:
AMOLED display. Makes sense on a smart watch. The Solid blacks would also look better.
Speaker. This is actually kind of a bummer because if I am in the pool/lake, I can reply/dismiss notifications, but won't be able to take a call.
For me, this was reasoning is to help handle notifications. It is a starter watch that is cheap but good. I don't normally wear a watch, so it will probably end up in a drawer but if I end up really using the device, then I will spend the money to upgrade to one that has everything I need. It is just silly to spend $300 for a high end device if it won't be used.
In a perfect world, I want the Samsung Galaxy Gear S to have an Android Wear model so I can use it on my LG G4. That would be the ideal watch.
Hello there,
I have a good deal to get the G watch W100 new for $70 .. its now sold for $100 at least.
I'm a fan of these things but they are really over priced .. like the urban watch is being sold for $400.
Anyhow.. do you think its a good idea to buy it now with this price?
if you can through me any ideas, thoughts.. battery life, experience with it .. I'd be grateful
and about the updates, I know it just receive the new 5.1.1 .. do we expect to get android 6 on W100 or no more updates ?
many thanks
I just saw a $50 deal come across one of my deal sites: http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/lg-g-watch/?null
Also, if you use ShopDiscover, I'm told you can get 15% credit...

As long as you don't mind how ugly it is and that it's a large fat square (uncomfortable depending on wrist size and where you like to place watch) then I think it's a great deal if you are in to tech. I have had mine since black Friday and for the 0 i paid back then I think it's still good/ I usually use always on screen with turn to wake off and can get 2 days battery, but I always charge it at night anyways just because why not? Even with tun to wake on it still get at least 1.5 days of use for me with moderate amount of notifications. It runs super smooth. It's bright enough for anything except direct sun light, in which case all the watches I've seen have a little issue with. I recently had a moto 360 because I like the look of it a lot more and it was a little bit more comfortable as well. But after using the G watch for over 6 months the 360 was laggy and I had to charge the watch about twice a day. If I turned off everything I'm sure it would last a whole day, but I didn't like that sacrifice. Since all the watches so far have the same specs with proc, ram and, rom (except the first gen moto 360) I would assume that it's extremely easy to push updates out to all of them since there's hardly any variation. I would be surprised if the g watch stopped getting updates any time soon. The only thing I kind of wish this watch had was a heart rate sensor. Not for any practical reason (the 360 was very hit or miss if it would work, but partially because i like to wear my watches loose I guess), but just for fun when I am nervous or something to see how it changes. I also shower with my watch on when I go to the gym 4-6 days a week. And never had an issue with that either. If there's anything else specific you can think of let me know.
All that being said I think the next gen 360 or the huawei watch look so much better. Of course those are 300+ bucks too though. So if price is a big concern you can't beat the g watch for 50 bucks.
Agreed. The g watch it's still a very good deal at 50$ hardware and software wise it's the same as the other smartwatches on the market. Only the look differs but I personally think it's not that ugly when you get used to it.

@frigidazzi I just cant thank you enough.
very detailed and great info. I just ordered mine.
Thanks again!
Dear watchlovers,
I currently cannot choose between two watches.
LG watch urbane or the Moto 360 2015 edition
I like the Watch urbane's its big design and silver look ( and its fully round..)
And i like the moto 360 its ellegant look
But i still cannot choose.
Maybe you guys can help me?
give me your opinions!
Moto 360, G Watch Urbane looks ugly
If possible, go and feel both of the watches in person. With mobiles, you can usually get used to the size/feel/look with time, but watches are slightly different in the fact that you have to wear it for long periods of time - which has aesthetic as well as ergonomic-al consequences.
Personally, I'd suggest if moto's flat-tyre doesn't bother you much then go for the Moto. Hands down. I've wore both the watches and the Urbane was a little too bulky and thick for my liking - sure the round display looks good, but for me, the feel of the moto 360 on the hand far outweighs the display benefit of the Urbane. Like most, the flat-tyre isn't that much of a bother as most claim it to be (me being one of them in the beginning).
Again, like I said, go and get a feel for both and if the flat-tyre doesn't bother you - get the Moto. There isn't much in favour of the Urbane other than that.
I'd wait a few weeks (until after MWC) to see if LG re-releases their LG watch urbane 2 LTE. I managed to snag one before LG took it off the market and it has a gorgeous, round OLED display with more pixels than anything else out there, stainless built, and jawdropping battery life. Of course, it also has a sim card slot for LTE connectivity and GPS, which is why I bought mine.
I talked to others who also kept theirs instead of returning it, and nobody has any issues with theirs, so whatever the real reason is that they took it off the market, I expect them to bring it back, because it is an awesome watch that leaves all the other ones in the dust.
I have both. Moto 360 2nd ed. (42mm) is lighter.
LG Urbane has a better screen and ambient mode is brighter. In the moto 360 ambient is too dark for me.
In battey life, I think LG wins. In the afternoon, when I arrive homs, by 9pm, LG has typically 40% of battery left, and mot has about 35%. In practical terms the difference is small.
I am not convinced to like the flat tire in the moto. It's weird and ruins some watchfaces.
In short, I am using the moto 360
Regards
There is only one truly round watch out there and that's the Moto. The LG and the Huawei watch are basically squared watches with round displays. The huge bezel of the LG puts me off. The ambient display on the Moto after the Marshmallow update is great and my battery lasts at least 1.5 - 2 days. Also, after having used the Moto for a few days, you will hardly ever notice the flat tire. Do I wish that it was gone? Hell yes, but the Moto is still the most asthetically pleasing watch out there.
I had an Urbane, but despite rumors to the contrary, I think it looks pretty ugly. Battery life on the 46mm seems a bit better than the Urbane, but I could see the 42mm being a little worse. I do like the P-OLED display on the Urbane. Not enough to make me use that watch, but it's a nice feature.

Hey Guys,
So i have fairly wide wrists and the standard 9inch band doesnt work for me. honestly to be comfortable id need something like 10,11 or 12 inch long. I found this
http://www.thewatchprince.com/ballistic-nylon-5-pvd-ring-22mm-black#tab-6
But I dont think that will work with the moto 360 gen 2 (will it?)
Any suggestions would be awesome!
The one you linked should work as long as your watch has 22mm lugs. (the 42mm and 46mm watches are different I think).
You might have to buy some spring bars that fit the watch as well:

I like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Tylt-Moto-Sil...&qid=1457962792&sr=8-1&keywords=moto+360+tylt
A lot of people complain about it being too big, and I have it almost as tight as it will go, so I would think it would work great for someone with large wrists.
I'm no expert on what will/won't fit but a band that runs underneath the watch would block the heart rate monitor.
Yes the size problem is biggest problem rather than other problem.
You could try a NATO strap. I am currently using one.
It looks good and feels amazing on the wrist.
This is a link to the one I have, but this site offers many more.

I am using a nato strap that runs under the watch and the heart rate monitor still functions.
So i am looking into buying my first smartwatch and the first thought I had was the moto 360. Currently its priced at $269 at bestbuy (waiting for it to go back down to $200) but i wanted to know if the watch itself is worth it. I ask because the Huawei watch is also $200 at newegg for black friday. I was considering the moto 360 more because of the 42mm size since i have small wrists. So, my question i guess is would you all still after a year recommend the watch? or choose something else.
In lower price, as used, for sure.

I got my 42" black gen 2 from DailySteals.com back in July for $149.99. That was a great price. Refurbished but you couldn't tell at all. Came with everything a new watch would. Previously I had a gen1 Moto 360. Main complaints with that were battery life, sluggishness, and a bit too large face. This watch took care of all that. I can go close to 48 hours between charges (depending on which watch face I use mainly). I wear my watch when I sleep so I can use it as a vibrating alarm without waking up my wife/kids. I charge it when I shower and then here and there when I'm at home in the evening. Never have a battery issue like I had before. I workout and run in it a lot too so I got a silicone watch band that I wear most of the time but can easily switch to any of the other two bands I have in about thirty seconds. Love it!
I just picked one up used for $70 on Swappa... this will be my first smartwatch so i'm hoping it will give me a good taste of what AW is like and be an overall rounded good watch for me. Mainly just want to use it to be sure I see notifications that come in since i often miss the notification when the phone is in my pocket. Thanks!

For this price, it's a bargain for the 2nd Gen.
