If truly the Moto 360, they've done an excellent job with the design, looks like a modern, sleek watch that I'd actually were. Very interested to see the final product, home summer means June, rather than mid-September.

Apparently, you missed the memo describing this as Android Wear. Key word there.
This is like saying, "How much you want to bet the iWatch will be useless without an Apple ID?
Duh.

Pretty sure you can add Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo accounts on iOS...
You also don't need an Apple ID to set up iOS. You need it to buy from the App Store but not for anything else.
And you can add Microsoft and Yahoo accounts on Android. So?
And you dont need a Google account to set up an Android phone. You need one to get apps and get GAPPs to function.... similar to an iphone. You do know how an Android device works, correct?
Sounds to me like you just want to bash Google products, regardless if they function the same as their iOS counterparts? Or maybe you turn a blind eye when Apple does it?
Yep, saw it earlier and it looks very sleek. Really looking forward to see more of Android Wear at I/O.
Moto 360 Design Face-Off
Haven't seen this mentioned, but for the artistic folks here:
Motorola is having a face design contest, judged by other entrants.
The winner gets a Moto 360.

A bit big still for my taste, but definitely nicely designed. Looking forward to seeing what Apple's version looks like. And where this whole smartwatch thing will go...
I'm buying this day 1. Android wear is the first compelling usage for a smart watch. Having google now always on will be the first big breakthrough in wearables IMO. Glad I waited out the gear, and pebble this is the one to get.
I suggest people to stop with the mental masturbation with the Moto 360 and android wear for that matter hype 99% of the time its not a good thing.
hype 99% of the time its not a good thing.Google now lives up to the hype. It is amazing when traveling. Your boarding pass/flight time everything is right there. It even read my mind and linked me to get tickets to the game. Having all that on my wrist will be amazing. There are a lot of things that are all hype but I think android gear is going to be genuinely cool, and new.
I know this is a video from a month ago, but I'd never seen it before.
Around 2:50 you can see the silver and the black versions, too.
According to a recent article on BGR where someone ran across a Moto 360 tester, the battery lasts about a week. If so, count me in!

They should do a gold color as well. Some people wear silver colors, some wear mostly gold. You don't want to alienate half your potential customers just because of color.
As for iOS compatibility, wouldn't that be great? And smart for sales. Plus then I could get one gift for all my family this Christmas, since half of them use Android and half use iOS
On the vid it looks pretty nice. The design is fresh, most of the watches are rectangular shape. Being only water-resistant is something that draws it down and makes you to ask how does it work in harsh environments: raining, snowing and when the humidity is high. What is the IP-class? And the battery? Well, have to wait and see =) i hope the battery is good because my Sony SW2 can go 4 days before charging.
This watch does look great. However, to appeal to the masses, it will need to be priced right. Also, unless there's a new trend, this doesn't look to be fashioned for women. That's a significant number. Maybe, they'll come up with some designs or accessories that would make it appeal to more females?
Currently, I have the 1st generation Galaxy Gear (got a great deal). Even though the design was panned by many, I find it looks pretty nice and I get a lot of compliments. So, I'm a fan of smartwatches.
In a few years, I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Damn beat me to it!
Damn beat me to it!
I wanted to see the battery life specs.
I guess we will have to wait for that...I'm hoping for a couple days (min).
I was just about to post this....that makes it a buy for sure in my book!
Can't wait! My bank account is going to be dry come October....lol
EDIT: FYI, the page is no longer there which tells me that price is absolutely true and someone let it leak early.

Agreed. And I've yet to see a smart watch that is actually smart, or have the battery life needed to be viable.
