I can angle my iPhone and iPad too to make text cut off like your example.
Ironically, initially when it came out, it was considered precious (because rare). But that soon changed
.Aluminum is light and that's why you'd want it in a sports watch. Doesn't look cheap to me, but I love the gold one with the red detailing on the crown, if they can make it no more than $1000, I'm buying that one right away.

Many are whining they didn't put their pet feature in... So, which is it. No matter what they did, someone somewhere would complain, that's a fact.
Steve would have said it's slim, even knowing it's bulky, and most people would say then that it's slim.
That's the difference.
Um... I don't need to do a Google search... I own a 360.
Well, it looks cut-off to me
Solid or plated. 18k? People would throw that away over here or give it to kids.
You must be kidding right? Apple watch never cuts out anything when it's showing a pop up AND the watch face at the same time?
Those cut out pop up are just pop ups. You're supposed to swipe up. It doesn't cut anything out.
It's like saying your iPhone cuts out the text when the pop up notifications come on top when you get a message.
Pig candy. Not cut off. I can read it perfectly.
The LAX pop ups. On the right where they swiped up. You can read all perfectly.
The pulse it telling you to WAIT a sec. It isn't done yet.
The agreement screen. You couldn't fit an entire agreement on a 1" screen.
Please.

Perhaps No talents are in Samsung's pocket?
I think a lot of the naysayers, notice how many of the beginning comments are negative, are on Samsung's payroll, or they think Samsung is an innovative company...

All watches cut something out. Its a 1" screen.
Here's an idea. Why don't you close the internet and go try things for yourself?
Reviewers are a joke. They just repeat each others reviews. Are paid by the companies of the products. Etc etc
Yes, I am serious.
You clearly have no idea what it means to have a UI/UX user interface.
There is term they call "safe zone." It is an actual word in broadcast television and movie. It is used in UI design. On the Moto 360, the text cuts to it on a static image. A non-scrolling pop-up.
Otherwise it would need to be smaller; and have superflous white space.
Bad Design
Here are two other UI examples. The bottom counters are CUT.
The first image does not make a complete full circle. It is CUT.
For the second image, the graph landing on Thursday would be CUT. Red bars approaching Thursday. CUT.
Any graphical element not shown their entirety as it was design = CUT.
The text on the bottom, I can't make what it says. 100 b??? Is it Bps? BPM? BPP? BBB? The baseline serif Stroke of the one is cut. Sliced. It is a Serif Font that has no serif. The zero looks like an upside down U.
There is no foot on the font.
That is cut-off p

If you think the moto 360 is bad don't buy it. I don't care.
The design of the phone has that at the bottom. It doesn't cut anything on the first image.
The second image is telling you to wait. It isn't done calculating your pulse. When it is done it will tell you. It won't cut anything.
Go use the watch. Or don't. Nobody cares what you do.
It's not practical to make it independently cellular.. Yet.. And wifi-only is for chumps at this point. To be useful, it's gotta attach to always-on internet. Apple could try to "pair" it via wifi sharing, but that's trying to use a dozen other phone types, apple doesn't do that either.
So either after 3 years they missed their date by a few months, it'll be out in January or February, and that doesn't bode well for Apple.
Or they announced a product 6 months in advance. That also doesn't bode well for Apple.
So which is it?

Wait... this was more difficult that the Mac Pro (red)?

THIS. I really love Apple, and normally buy anything they sell. But right now im really torn. The Moto 360 looks WAY better than the Apple Watch. I'd push my fanboy-ism aside and get one. Unfortunately it only works with Android. So I guess I'll have to sit this one out.
There's one thing I won't be buying, and it's this preposterous comment ^
Addendum: It doesn't matter one iota what "Jobs wouldn't allow" - sorry to (re)break it to ya, but Steve Jobs is gone - Apple isn't his company any more, it's run by Tim Cook, and so it doesn't even equate what "Jobs would allow" - that's not even something that should enter the sphere of consciousness of a rational, sane person, when discussing Apple of 2014. Tim Cook misses Steve Jobs - he's made that more than clear in his reactions, but this IS NOT Apple run by Jobs - when are people going to stop harping on about things, according to someone who has passed away, AND who willingly volunteered the position of CEO - together with all the responsibility of running Apple - to Cook BEFORE HIS DEATH?
Wake up you fools - time to move on now, because this is NOT Jobs' Apple now, and it doesn't matter what a dead person would OR wouldn't do, this is getting tedious to keep seeing people parrot this like mindless idiots.
Steve is gone - everyone misses him I am sure, but get a grip and wake up - this is NOT his company, and never again will be. If you can find a way to have a dead person run Apple how they did when they lived, get back to me.

Its hard to evaluate ive's and apple's design work on the apple watch. The watch may be a lose lose proposition--no interesting fucntionality and technology constraints on the size and mass make possibly an impossible assigment.
Certainly the ui solution is creative--it elicited design respect but no consumer interest on my part.
I think if you look at the unibody Macbooks you see an iconic design that seemingly can go on forever. Somehow--after ten years--the industry does not seem to have caught up.
We had to wait 15 years for the Newton to evolve into the ipad. Some products are never really technical feasable because there is no real demand.

All the pictures you posted are either Android Wear cards (AKA card at the bottom that doesn't obstruct the watchface = notification, you want details, swipe up). Or it's info you can scroll like that processing FIT app.
I'm surprised people here who love iOS's endless scrolling information dump of a notification panel suddenly forget how to scroll when it comes to a non-Apple watch
I undertand the concept of cards. This one example is an example of a meter; progress bar. A meter shows progress in a static canvas. The red bar increments on each day. Each day, the bar turns red until it makes a complete red circle. It is an indicator. It is not a static image you swipe to get more detail. It is a "progress meter" There is no scrolling. No up, down, left. Just a red meter progressing in a 360 degree fashion.
Are you telling me to swipe up or swipe down once the red meter hits Thursday? Because once it gets to the 6 oclock marker, the meter is cut. It is simply poor design and you are being obtuse.
What is there not to understand. It is obvious.
