I've apparently caught the Wear bug. First I got bit by the Asus zenwatch bug - price & spec wise it looked so appealing. Then I did some research on the Samsung gear live & decided that was The watch for me. Later the snowball effect kicked in & now I find myself lusting over the LG G Watch R. I think from all the reviews I poured over that this watch would be the ONE . Its a difference of around $100 between the zenwatch\Gear Live vs the G Watch R so money (or lack there of) may play a big role in my decision. If I do end up taking the plunge on any of these three watches, I'll post back & share my thoughts on my actual user experience.
I just don't want to settel for less & regret it afterwards. I'm thinking take the plunge and spring for the G Watch R - then screaming I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!! Until the sticker aftershock wears off...
Anybody else ran into this delima?
 
Well, if you really want to know ...

I am a watch whore. :eek: I gravitate toward round-faces and have several VERY expensive watches (although I've never been a big fan of Rolex). I think the Asus Zen Watch is the most attractive and classy of the non-round watches. That said, it's a tiny screen and huge bezel. I couldn't get past that. The LG G R is more of a sport watch, at least what I've seen of it, and the plastic square gear watches are just a style train wreck. The Moto 360 is still the best looking and versatile of the currently available smartwatches ... in my not so humble opinion. That's why I have one. ;)

Of course there will be the iWatch, which looks like a design collaboration between Rube Goldberg and Dr. Seuss. :D
 
Thanks for the helpful input :)
I think the MOTO 360 is a great bargain @ $50 less than the G Watch R. Its looks are appealing to me. Qi charging is a no brainer. All the reviews gave it very high marks it most respects. What dissuaded me were comments about jerky performance in use. Did the Android L update smooth things out any?
I like a nice watch, but my taste runs a little more sporty I guess you would say. I currently own just three - a Luminox 8400, Suunto Core Military & a basic G-Shock. Being used to the Core's size I would fall right in with a 360 or G watch R ;)
 
I did have to reset the watch after the update, but even before that it was smooth and responsive. Granted I don't go crazy with custom watch faces (yet) but I am more than pleased with the performance.

I used to like the Fossil watches (back in the 90's :eek:) but they've gone too extreme for my tastes. I have two Swiss Army watches for casual wear, A Gucci, Movado, Tissot and Raymond Weil for dressier occasions, but my 360 has become my daily driver.
 
FWIW, the leather band is shockingly comfortable. I usually go with a metal bracelet, but the silver one wasn't available when I ordered mine. I may get a replacement, but most 22mm bracelets should fit. I might go with a bracelet from my jeweler, though. I'm not crazy about what I've seen retail.
 
I do like the 22mm interchangeability. Makes the watch more a reflection of you :) The interchangeable bands some try to pawn off online to the new smart watch market are horrendous :( Just the same old cheap garbage made in sweatshops. Only difference is they have a new market to unload them on.
