Availability on play is flipping between in stock and out, best buy is now showing out of stock.
I thought I would just stroll down to the local BB and pick one up, but nooo. Grrrr.

My real problem is choosing between black and silver. The black one looks so much cleaner, but the silver is a little more "nothing to see here, just a watch", which I kind of like.
Im going silver as it looks more like a normal watch, but yeah thats my issue too.

Silver ordered. I can always return it if I don't like it.

Ill enjoy the 360 or Ill return it. Its a new device catagory for me, and at the very least it will decide if I like the category in general.
If I do, I can always upgrade to a next gen smartwatch when they come out. If not, well, I'll return it and go buy a PS4. :shrug:

Shipment notification and tracking number for my wear just arrived (play store, Friday order). Paid for overnight so I'll have it in hand [Tuesday]. Impressions to follow, and I'll report battery percentages on Wednesday.

I haven't worn a watch in years, so it will be very interesting regardless.

Moto360 day 1. Pulled off the charger at 7:30AM, at 12:45 (5hrs) with light-moderate usage: 76%.
Looked at it frequently, couple reminders, setup/rang an alarm...so its acceptable. More would be nice, but Im not crying at this point. Just gotta get used to wearing a watch again period. Chances of returning it are small, but if somebody wanted one ASAP at a premium Id be open to it.

Screen always on?
No, default setting of screen turning off.

Day 2 report. Again off charger at 7:30, moderate usage until noon, then mostly sitting on my desk. 70% at 5:18pm.
Battery life concerns seem...overstated.

And yes, it charges fine off a standard Qi pad.

How do you feel about the responsiveness? I'm wondering if people go into it knowing that it's an older SoC, and so are predisposed to feel like it's laggy, or if it actually is laggy.
No issues with responsiveness in my mind.

How well does the raise to activate feature work? It seems like one of those things that you'll get irritated because it works most of the time, but some times it doesn't...
Only times its had issues for me is when my wrist is already pretty high or rotated. Bugged me once, but it's pretty good so far.

Does the 360 light up like a flashlight in the dark?
It stays lit while on the charger, yes. Black background, time, and a blue ring showing battery percentage. Should be simple to find an image. Its not super bright, a nice bedside clock.

No magnets. A towel would be the easiest way. I don't know if there is an option to turn the screen off completely, I don't see one but I could be wrong. Can't charge through the face, it won't stay in the stand/cradle that way (band is heavy enough to tip it over). and its not catching power from my qi pad when on its face. Its really not very bright on the stand.

Is there a way I can get my Moto 360 to launch like Soundcloud or even google music?
"ok google open [x]" I think.

My 360 is getting returned. No major issues, and battery is fine for me, I just don't love it and have better things to spend the $250 on. It would be the full $250 and I'll cover shipping (which is what Id get for the return). The watch itself is pristine. Is it worth throwing up an s-mart thread?

I was going to spend extra cash buying one because they're not in Canada yet. I'd gladly take it off your hands.
Sorry, already shipped back to google.

Every generation of Thinkpad has been worse since Lenovo took over.
This is true. They took a brand that lived on durability and unwillingness to compromise and consumerized it by doing just those things.
