5.0 out of 5 starsBest android wear/smartwatch ever!
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
Great purchase!
Aesthetics: Watch looks superb. The 46mm is really the way to go, especially for my wrist. I bought the Silver moto with the chain link and would never change it for any other style. The watch looks professional, and I have received many complements on how nice it looks.
Functions:
-All of the apps work flawlessly.
-Messenger app for Facebook works with this watch as well.
-I receive all of my notifications including email, sms, messenger, wifi (know what I am connected to), and the moto body fitness app.
-The OK google function works about 90% of the time to be completely honest. There are times it does not catch everything, or get's it right the first time. It's awesome replying to txt using OK google, and if you say smiley face it will send a smiley face! :D
-The watch does not have a keyboard, so you'll have to download another app called "messages." it's nice having a keyboard when in a meeting or somewhere i am not supposed to use my phone vs. using OK google to send a text. So now I have the best of both worlds.
-I haven't tried the fitness app itself, but I have calculated my steps and monitored my heart rate and, as far as I know, everything seems to be accurate and it will give you updates on how close you are to your goals.
-You can make calls from your watch, but have to use your phone to talk unless you have a Bluetooth piece in your ear. You can receive calls as well.
-Weather, alarms, agenda, etc. are all applicable to the watch.
-I used OK google on the watch to see how tall Anne Hathaway was and it popped up on the watch! She's 5-8 :D. I also use it to see what time places close and what their phone numbers are. I didn't realize how convenient "OK google" was, especially when you don't have to take out your phone.
-Pretty much if your smartphone can do it, this watch can virtually do it.
Battery:
With the brightness set to low, the battery is great, and you are still able to see EVERYTHING without turning the brightness all the way up. I have the watch set to "screen always on" and i literally have at least 35-40% battery life at the end of the day! One time I had the watch last over 17hours! I even used navigation on the watch, and sent messages and viewed emails, etc, and it still had a bunch of power left. I was really impressed. Overall, the battery is almost too good for an android wear/smartwatch which is not a bad thing. Understand, I am not on my watch CONSTANTLY which I don't know why someone would be, and if you do use it a lot, all you would be doing is using "OK google" and looking at your emails for a few seconds. Nothing too demanding going on when using the watch.
Customizing: You can customize your background by putting up your own picture for the watchface. I have a picture of my girlfriend right now, and I thought it was pretty cool you could do that. You can also change the dial colors and have different accent colors for the watchface you desire. You can name your watch as well.
Charging: From about 30% or so, it'll take 45mins to an hour for a very close full charge.
A really great buy for a special someone, or if you want to spoil yourself. I would definitely buy the next gen. moto 3 if it were to come out tomorrow!
