Very interesting and informative review here for anyone ready to pull the trigger.
I think I'm gonna hold off for the Gear S.

Moto 360 now being sold in the UK by O2. £199.99 so it's pretty much "confirmed" that it will be €249.

You can, it's a UK address so will work fine.

Loads of people saying that's now working for them.

Do keep in mind the battery issue seems to be sorted forth 360 with the latest software update.

heebusjeebus · 03-10-2014 09:46AM

I think I'll be asking for this from Santa Claus.
I've already got a pebble which I love, but will keep it as I don't want to go running with the 360. It's too nice to drown it in my sweat

Have been using an LG G Watch for the past few days and have to say I am pretty impressed with it. Stops me from constantly checking my phone while I'm at my desk all day, is great for controlling music and I can see many good use cases for it developing, pretty good for a first gen device and software.

Battery hasn't gone below 60% after a days use either (8:00am - 11:00pm)

smackyB · 03-10-2014 06:04PM

Now available via John Lewis who offer much better delivery options compared to o2. Think I'm gonna hold out for the silver option though!

Sonics2k · 03-10-2014 07:50PM

Jesus lads, it's actually killing me. Literally killing me. No exaggeration.

:pac:

No but seriously, I can order and get the Black one by the middle of next week, or hold off until the Silver is available.

IrishStuff09 · 04-10-2014 03:34PM

Dammit Google, release it already! Still undecided between Black and Silver too, and will probably just get on Google Play whenever it does release.

For now though, I don't mind as I've not gotten all the money together yet

TitianGerm · 04-10-2014 03:46PM

Has anybody seen any launch info for the Asus Zenwatch ?

waynegalway · 04-10-2014 06:54PM

Any consensus on when these will drop in price? €150 is the most I'd want to pay for such an impulse buy! Really like what I've seen online about Wear, but just can't justify the price atm.

Drop???
The Moto 360 is only just available. You'll most likely have to wait till the next gen get released next year before price drops

I know the 360 is just out, but I'm thinking of the g watch. Surely that's due some sort of drop soon? When the round version comes out, maybe?

Which is 3 months old

Sonics2k · 04-10-2014 07:40PM

I imagine LG and Samsung will lower theirs not long after Christmas. LG have already confirmed the launch of a new device as a follow up, and Samsung undoubtedly have about 50 variations to release this year.

LG's G Watch R looks amazing. It must have hidden the screen drivers under the bezel so looks a lot nicer than the Moto 360.

Its out there with the ugliest of smart watches, it looks like a cheap watch from the argos watch basket.

But beauty is subjective.

By the way that high bezel exists in production model. Good luck with that not annoying you as you swipe the screen.

Atomic Pineapple · 08-10-2014 03:30PM

The LG Watch R looks awful in real life, the render makes it look much better than it actually is. Real shame.

I have the LG G watch and get 3 days out of the battery. For example I took it off charge this morning at 8am and its still got 93% left. Really impressed with the battery life, if they can get it up to a week while improving the software and screens then I think we're in for some really great second/third gen devices.

heebusjeebus · 08-10-2014 03:51PM

I've just looked at a few videos of it and I still love the look of it.
Think it would be a bit more robust that the 360 with the protruding bezel.

Will wait and see what the CPU specs are & what battery life is like before I decide what I want to put my money on.

Mantis Toboggan · 08-10-2014 08:21PM

Think the zen watch looks very nice lads. Not released until next month but I reckon it could be the best of the lot.

I with you on this. I actually think the bezel looks good with the watchface shown in the picture, as it suits that pilot/military look. But I think with other watchfaces the bezel could look gammy.

G watch has dropped to $149 in the states. Still €199 in play store. Bound to drop soon. What's a fair price for one on adverts atm? The 170-180 being sought seems high.

I got mine brand new for 180 euro on Amazon

mcgovern · 13-10-2014 09:21AM

It's €170 delivered at ie.mobilefun.com, anyone ever dealt with them before?

Only €156 on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00LB2ZQ3C?cache=8f75ca7016475b3889875e7fa8962240&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1413189624&sr=8-16#ref=mp_s_a_1_16

Not personally, but at that price I'd be really cautious about buying it.

More like £156 including postage, which puts it up to about €200.
