2014 M360 won't get A.W. 2.0...

Maybe it's sour grapes, but Android Wear 2.0 didn't look that great to me anyway
Instead of swiping left-to-right to "go back" or get rid of current screen (or clear notification?) users will have to press the button.
wtfo... that seems way slower to me. Seriously.​
Harder to get to theatre mode setting which I use frequently.​
Well, I'm sure there is more good than bad in there. Google has reasons for what they do even if not immediately obvious.

I've been planning to hold onto this watch for another year or so, but this might nudge me sooner in the direction of watching for deals on some other watches.

Speaking of which, I'm intrigued with the first generation LG Watch Urbane which is down to $179 new (incl shipping) on Amazon. Gets rid of flat tire, brings OLED screen and processor on par with the others (so always-on ambient screen is feasible). A little smaller screen and bigger bezel than our beloved 360, but I can deal with that. I think it has most of what the more expensive Hwatch has except speaker. I hope within 6 months or so another batch of watches will come out and many of these we're watching will be even less expensive.

I was also bummed to hear about this. I am used to my Nexus devices which seem to get updates way longer than everything else. I thought maybe because this was touted as one of the premier devices that it would have had longer support. I will just hope for a Nexus watch to be released.
