I like the way they've used a overlay for the screen on the video, trying to make the screen look sharper and faster than it probably is.
I agree. Motorola is full of lies! All lies!
Apple has never done anything like that on their commercials

If I do get one then I hope there is an option to photograph the back of my wrist skin and use that as a wallpaper so it looks like I have an INVISIBLE WRIST!!
Oh wait, not an invisible wrist, an INVISIBLE WATCH!
Yeh, emperor's new watch, and when people say 'what is it?' I push an invisible button on what looks like my wrist skin, and Flappy Bird appears.
Also, I could pretend to have a trendy tattoo on my wrist, but actually it is a photograph of a trendy tattoo superimposed over the photo of my wrist.
Also, the portable doctor app could overlay things onto my wrist skin, as if I can see into my own blood veins. And little icons for Vitamins, and Bloody Glucose levels, and Leprosy could scroll past to show me my current state of well being.
Like notifications, but actually look like they are flowing through my wrist veins.
If I can tap the icons to cure the ailments then even better.

It looks nice. The best thing they can do is release it now before getting caught in apples wake after the 9th.
It certainly won't be released in 2014. If it was, we would have seen part leaks by now. But I bet they'll announce it on Tuesday.
What kind of battery life do you think that would get. GSM radio would suck that tiny battery dry in no time.
So, in the future when considering which watch to buy, it really just comes down to which clock-face to download in the App Store. Timex 2,99 USD, Tag Heuer 9,99 USD, Rolex 99,99 USD.
I agree, but until the tech is available to make a good totally standalone product, I just don't see a smart watch being anything more than a niche accessory, rather than a must have. Sure Apple will sell a bunch initially, because of their name - but why would it be a mainstream product ?

Totally agree. I really thought Moto was going places back then. But they fizzled.
Great, another piece of technology to shackle your life to! I have the best already (for me), and that is the iPhone 5. It's a great piece of work, and I do keep it charged, though this "shackling", to me, is worth the cost.
I also have the best (again, for me) watch. A Citizen Eco-Drive that never needs a new battery (at least not for years).
But I do wish Apple the best if it goes that route as I love people who buy anything with the Apple logo, regardless of its functionality!

I'm loving the design. Motorola is very good at designing products (better than Samsung IMO). What is keeping down watches is battery life. Unless there is a big breakthrough in battery tech by Apple or they find a way to charge it when you walk... Then any watch will only last a little bit (day or two). There is no way to put a GPS or LTE on a smart watch unless Apple does something actually "magical". Can't wait to see what Apple will be offering next week!
I'm starting to see the point of a smartwatch, especially for maps directions, though this one looks pretty huge. I think a device like this should be smaller.
And can't they find a better name for "pedometer"? It always makes me think it measures how much of a pedo you are.

Theres this great new elastic band powered car, it can drive all the way to the end of the street - it's incredible, but I won't be buying one, either...
I'm with you on this. Really hope the iWatch at least offers some mind-blowing point of differentiation to incentivize me to buy one. But at the rumored $400, this will be a VERY tough sell for me at least. Tuesday should be interesting!
this is hilarious. Clearly people want a product which may or may not be unveiled Tuesday because it's a regular watch which does some other stuff. Cognitive dissonance at its best..
well LOOK at that plastic band. it looks like a watch you can find for 2 at Primark next to the checkout counter (minus the feature on the watch itself obvs) and the watch looks too huge for that slim band
Careful, that's how mobile phones started. Technology meant they started big and got smaller and smaller because that's what people wanted, then everything reversed because idiots thought they needed massive screens.
Smart watches will get smaller and then Samsung will release a ridiculous 4" round watch in 2024 so all the Android people can continue to look like idiots.
