Moto 360 price?

Thanks for sharing. I take the "inside source" posts with a grain of salt, but I hope that the logic behind Samsung and LG's Android Wear watch pricing adds up to $249 being proper.

That said, my other theory is that, while they offer the $249 price, with likely a choice of one leather or plastic band, the other bands and colors (in particular, the stainless steel version that everyone was so enamored by - myself included) will cost between $29-$49 each (or maybe more). So, for people that would want the stainless steel band, they'd technically end up paying $298 or more anyway.

Just a theory though.
 
Two thoughts come to mind:

1. Pre-smartphone, my cell phones would last days on a charge easily. Granted, they were hardly used;)

2. My smartphone may last up to a week too...if I turn on airplane mode and never use it. Obviously battery life depends on the use, but if we're to believe what they're saying about BLE then I don't see why the watch couldn't last many days on a charge.

I seriously hate when OEM's make statements like that. Just seems like PR b.s. cover-up, so that people don't sway their attention to other products, while they keep on delaying a product that they might have been too quick to leak.

I'm quickly going from "excited" about the Moto 360, to just ho-hum and not as intrigued or interested anymore. The more they come out with ambiguous statements, the less interested I become about it.

I find it frustrating too, but I get why they have to do it. If they let the G Watch and Gear Live be launched without dangling their beautiful, shiny, round carrot in front of us they'd be losing sales.

I was pretty close to ordering a Gear Live but more stuff came out about the 360 suggesting the price wouldn't be too much higher than the Samsung/LG watches (remember when people were suggesting the 360 could cost $500?) and so I'm holding off.

I'm sure there a many other consumers in my position, we're buying a smart watch, we want android wear and we love the look of the 360. Moto has to try to keep our interest or they risk having us jump to another device because we're hopeless tech addicts.

Yeah, but that doesn't work for all consumers. If it weren't for my Gear 1, which I use daily, I'd likely have swooped up a Gear Live already or maybe a G Watch.

I'm sure Motorola doesn't really care, considering their target demographic won't be people google searching for info on the 360 all the time. They're going for those general consumers that have been so hesitant to get a smartwatch (for one reason or another) and they're hoping to wow them with the 360, upon release.
 
Those pics are just beautiful. I wan't this thing in all black with of course the options to change up here and there.

I'm just trying to think if the gunmetal colored band, from an old non-functioning watch that I have lying around, is 22mm. If so, I'm in business and won't need to buy another.
 
I remember an article about 2 or 3 months ago with someone stating that they were told early adopters would get it for $150. Never heard about it again. I doubt that will happen but it is nice to dream.
 
oh wow, poor planning by Motorola, if this ends up being true and 360 launched at same time. September is worst month to convince people not to wait for iPhone 6 or note 4. And that would put the 360 on a 6 month window, since initial announcement

$250 best buy and Motorola site. I plan on financing a X2 and 360 through Motorola on day of release.Then sell my 32gig X.
 
I wonder if Chris Chavez saw this. He'll probably ish in his pants that it is actually cheaper than what he expected.
 
Something I'm wondering that I guess we just don't know yet.... the features list from Best Buy shows that it has the Always Listening tech similar to the Moto X and Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini. So if you have one of those phones, will the feature work with a certain amount of synergy? Like I'm envisioning saying, "Ok Google Now" and both devices being in conflict because they're both trying to execute your voice commands.

While I have a lot of faith in Moto, this has been a concern of mine. Although honestly, I guess you could just disable the feature on your phone if there is some sort of conflict.
