I've always worn my watch on the underside of my wrist, so of course I tried that with this watch. The Moto 360 doesn't seem to work nearly as well when worn on the underside of the wrist. It seems to half-wake (ambient/dim mode) too often, and with minimal arm movement. And I really have to crane my arm to get it to wake completely (so that the watch is facing straight up). When it's worn on the top of my wrist, it seems to wake/sleep very reasonably. Is there any way to reconfigure the watch so that it works well on the underside of my wrist? I'd rather everyone not be able to see the face of the watch, and I'm really struggling to adjust to wearing a watch on the top of my wrist after 30+ years of wearing it on the bottom.
That happens when you use a device a way that it's not meant to be used.

Thank you for your very helpful reply. Apparently I'm the only person in the world that prefers to wear their watch on the inside/bottom of their wrist.
I understand that the "standard" way to wear a watch is on the outside/top of your wrist. I was simply asking whether or not there was a configuration option or trick to get the watch to behave normally while being worn on the bottom of my wrist.

No, there is no way to use the watch in that manner, nor can you use a car as a boat or a plane as a submarine.
This thread is full of win.
Wow, I guess everyone is telling you the equivalent of "You're holding it the wrong way."
I think it is a good idea to have a setting for this. I've seen some people wear their watch this way and even though it seems to be a pretty low percentage, it would just be a matter of programming different orientations to trigger the appropriate responses. I also thought that if the watch didn't have the little strip on the bottom of the display, that the watch could actually be worn in two different orientations. I wonder if there will be a setting in the future for that as well (in other words, wearing it with the button on either the left or the right.)

Just got it set up with my GT 10.1. The beauty of the stand is the fact that I can have my Samsung Book Cover Case installed on the tab, have the charging cable plugged into the bottom of the tab, and have the tablet on the stand with the volume controls and 3.5 jack on the top. Almost every stand I have found did not have enough room for the connector to be installed while placed on the stand, but this one fixed that for me, at a grand total of $10 on ebay!

Galaxy Tab with stand, charging.
wow that is so awesome!
seems nice... how sturdy is it? did you try any other stands or was this the first one you got?
personally I dont need the ability to charge it while on the stand, so sturdiness is the name of the game for me, so i've been thinking about the Arkon but maybe this is even better... just curious if you tried the Arkon out also?
Regarding how sturdy it is... for me, it's perfectly fine. The problem I found is I keep my desk clean with pledge, which makes the surface too slippery and the stand itself doesn't have any way to grip. I think I will just stop down at the local hobby store and find some sort of rubber strip I can put on the feet of the stand to have it stop sliding. Besides that, I only get a minor wobble when tapping the screen, but only at the top, and only if I press abnormally hard. For $10 you can't beat it.
nice 10char
Just bought one.
That looks really nice.

I have the Arkon, it's very sturdy, very adjustable. It's made of some sort of hard plastic/polymer, with foam cushion layer on the bottom so it doesn't slide and where it touches the tablet. The only issue is the tablet sits too low for the charge connector in landscape mode.
lol, it is a rabbit
looking for where to put my phone while jogging i have found "arm-bands" which i find annoying... the question is, does a similar accessory exist but that can be strapped to your leg or waist in a similar manner to gun cases for example, but for phones?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
Hey! It's an interesting question. I, as far as i'm concerned, do not know about those leg-bands. I don't think they exist. I mean, just think of the forces applied to your phone while jogging; it would eventually break. I hope i helped you somehow.
I have one of those armbands, but rather than have it hooked to my biceps, I actually strap it to my left forearm so I can look at my info when I'm running. (I have it paired to a Zephyr HxM HRM so I can see if my heart rate is too fast or not). it also allows me to switch music tracks easily as well)
Maybe that will help out if you hook it so it's right above the widest part of your forearm.
EDIT: come to think of it: some of these armbands also sell an "extension" band.... i guess if you get 2 or those extensions, you can wrap it around your thigh so it works as a "leg band"?
I guess you are right, but then guns would have a similar problem (jumping out of place or something like that)
But I after looking around a small hip bag might do the job...
I think a hipbag designed for cell phones might be an interesting idea.

when you say hip bag.. you mean fanny pack right? if so, you can get those anywhere.. although they tend to be... conspicuous and very gaudy in many cases..

I used to use a Nike Wrist Coach with my Sensation. It's one of those playcard forearm sleeves that quarterbacks wear that has the plays on them. It work pretty well for jogging; I would have My Tracks and Play Music running and I could glance it my phone to check my pace, distance and change songs. I could even use voice to text to send messages.
Then I lost my Sensation in a cab.
You might want to go to a sporting goods and check it out. The GS3 is much thinner than the Sensation, so it might work.

It's always refreshing when a company releases an accessory that can be used with anything, aka "universal", instead of marketing directly to iPod/iPad/iPhone/iPood devices. Standzout is one of them, even though they do have products marketed directly to those other devices. Even though I was not able to attend CES 2014 due to some conflicts, I was able to get a hold of one of their Standzfree Universal Tablet Floor Stands to check out.
Seeing as I spend an awful lot of time working from home and my desk is never clean enough to put more than my keyboard, phone, mouse and monitors, a tablet floor stand is perfect! And, seeing as I occasionally do stints as a guitar player a stand for my tablet while playing is essential. So I went about setting this sucker up.
First thing I noticed was how purely heavy it is. Most of that is the floor base stand itself - requiring more than just myself to attach the base. Luckily I had a minion around (who oddly enough looks like me) to help steady the base while I screw in the screw with the provided allen wrench. Once it was nice and tight it was quite evident that this stand isn't going to move around any.
After using the stand with my tablets at my desk for a few weeks, I found it to be just like having another monitor. I was able to adjust it to the right height given that it has a telescoping neck which gives it about another foot in length (TWHS), so I could sit at my desk, turn to the side and immediately have it right there. And in fact it holds my Samsung Note Pro 12.2 quite well. It was time to take it to a gig.
It was there I noticed immediately what could keep me from using this outside the office. Whenever I needed to turn a page on the setlist, the thing moved. It wasn't that the base itself moved (which it does if you push too hard on the tablet), it was that with a tablet in the holder it's easy to move it because it's up in the air. Not even sure how to avoid it - but i have the same problem in the car with a suction cup phone mount. It's like the tablet just floats and moves easily on the stand.
Outside of that, I am impressed with the stand but will only use it at my desk or maybe by the bed at night. If you're interested in one, you can head on over to their site to read about it and purchase one if you so choose.
Hi,
I came across this interesting picture, where you can clearly see that the metal bands from Motorola have a plastic piece/adapter that fits inside the watch. Even the larger 23mm bands have this piece from what I can see, their first part is in fact narrower than 23mm and fits inside this adapter.

The original article is here: http://www.slashgear.com/gold-moto-360-hands-on-lets-talk-smartwatch-luxury-06354400/
Let's hope they release the adapter separately so we aren't forced to buy the $80 band if we want a metal one
After looking at multiple photos, none are detailed enough, but it looks like the plastic adapter is actually a spacer since the metal band is much smaller where it connects with the watch itself...disappointing, in order to use this spacer, the leather bands would have to be changed to fit at the initial connections on the watch...narrow them down and then widen them out like the metal band.
is it just me or does the watch on the right look like its got some issues with the back?

Yes, it looks like hairline cracks are creeping around from the adapters...might be a reason there are no high detailed photos on the web.
Here's a High res of the watches. You can clearly see the spacer if you zoom in.

i've seen the spacer in the press release. here's the thing, unless there's some magic trickery holding that spacer in place, it's still putting pressure on the back. the spacer would basically occupy the entire space which means the back would effectively hold it in (or rather stable, since the pin is holding it in place).
i take it back. the spacer is formed with a lip "resting" against the back part. seems like they're using it as a buffer/spacer.
thick moto 360 Im waiting moto 360 2
the sughtsgr
I really don't think it's that thick, its about the same as some of the regular watches I've worn to be honest
I want to know why this watch isn't something else other than what it is, I just need to complain so that I can let everyone know that the things I "want" are more awesome that what actually exists, that way I seem smart.
I want my smartwatch to do everything my phone can do. That way, I can leave my phone in my pocket.
Irony. People actually want that. Seriously makes me chuckle every time. Doing so would kinda render that £500+ device in your pocket useless.
If you go to your local department store and look at the many traditional chronograph watches on display, I think you'll discover that the Moto 360 actually isn't that thick.
Guys...please lets not troll this thread....:good:
seems fine to me

Was just gonna say... Pretty sure my 360 is thinner and lighter than my G-Shock MTG920GA was.
Its thinner and more compact than any other watch over ever owned, so, im not complaining
thinner than the Timex Ironman HRM too. probably about the same weight.

I think this will answer all your questions as to "why so thick?"

I think it is the right amount of thickness. I wouldn't want it any thinner. If the watch could get thinner, then I say add a larger battery and keep the same size.
anyone know when the 360 2 comes out?
