I got mine, love it so far. I got one the day after launch and put a black pebble steel band on it. Battery life is shorter than other watches but hasn't been an issue.

i'm getting an easy 22+ hrs. seems to do more with how "active" your wrist is than anything else. lately at work, i've been taking off my watch to prevent my wrist from turning over when i type on the keyboard (frequent screen wakes). i usually get my m360 back on the charger with +50% from 7a-10/11p each day.

Battery impact is negligible on the moto x. I still get ~3hrs OST per day on the phone.
With the watch, I'm consistently at the 50% mark after 14 hours on my wrist.
I highly recommend it - certainly a nice extra motivational factor to get more active again.
I've been a fan of wearable tech since before it was practical. Still own a Sony Liveview (which will no longer stay in the band). I really want to like the 360 since it's round, and I have a Moto X that I love. But it looks large. Hope they come out with a smaller lady's version.
FWIW i took it on a 14hr trip and used it with GPS. had the watch off since 8a that morning, charged it up around the afternoon and then enabled GPS guidance. I don't think I got 11hrs before the watch completely died.
on the way back i didn't use GPS and somehow managed to get more than 36hrs. I took it off about 8a on Saturday and it didn't make it back to the cradle until 9:30p Sunday and it still had 23%!

Got this in the mail a few days ago and decided I'd write a summary review for you guys just in case you're looking to charge your GS3 wirelessly. The kit includes a protective case that doubles as a back up battery for when you're on the go. The color is deep blue that matches the GS3 pretty closely except its done in a matte finish. Its a bit slick but not as slick as the phone is without anything on it so overall its not too bad. Has a button on the back that when pressed once checks the charge of the internal battery and when held down activates the actual recharge so you can juice up whenever you want.
From a protective viewpoint its not the greatest considering some of the sides are exposed as well as some of the top, not sure why they did it that way but its not great for face down protection. I would definitely recommend a screen protector. The charging pad itself uses the Qi standard so you can use it with the new Nexus 4, Windows 8 phones or if you decided to hack the back cover and insert a coil you can use it to recharge as well. They do sell the pad seperately if you don't need the case so thats always good. The pad itself feels great and smooth just like the GS3 does and the finish is nearly identical in color and touch to the capacitive button area of the phone. It only fits one phone at a time and obviously you'd probably like to find one specific spot to keep it so you don't have to lug it around from room to room or between work and home. I did a full review with a ton more details at the link below but that pretty much sums everything up.
Full written review can be found here: http://bit.ly/T4crrk
Check out pics of the kit below:

By the way, just found out Droidax is going to have a massive Black Friday sale with up to 75% off its accessories. Took a screen grab of the details.
I guess the Black Friday sale was extended.....you can buy this guy for $60 right now.
So I recently receieved a 4300mah battery from tmart.com for days when i just need that extra amount of power when i'm going to be away from an outlet for some time. The battery has proven to stand up to some of my heavy usage, which included MANY texts, a mixture of 4G and wifi, a lot of Netflix high def video streaming (2-3 hours worth), and well over an hour of music streaming via bluetooth. After some days of use, I've decided to throw up some average stats that I got, and I'm quite pleased with them!
First, here's some images of the battery to compare to the stock samsung battery. yes, it's a bit thicker, but it comes with a back door replacement. The back door replacement is kind of a pain to take off (since it doesn't flex like the stock one) but it doesn't seem too bad.

as you can see, it's pretty much double the size of the stock battery.
and here's my usage for the last day i've used it:
i probably could've gotten atleast another 30-45 minutes out of that 10% judging by how it was draining throughout the day. Either way, for the stuff I did with it, it was quite impressive!
for such a low price, this battery seems pretty damn good!
the only con that i'm seeing so far is lack of NFC. but of course, for a battery that's only around $8.00, NFC isn't to be expected.
other than that, it's a pretty good deal!
check it out here:
http://www.tmart.com/4300mAh-Extend...er-for-Samsung-I9300-GALAXY-SIII_p157061.html
check it out. $5.99...price drops? Really cheap.
More updates? How is the cover looks like in the phone? Is it awkward.
Looks good but I can get upto nearly 5 hours screen time with my standard batery and my setup as in my Sig.
What rom and all are you using?? custom kernel??
I have i9300 seems you have LTE version?
Are these the same??

Review of 4300mah Extended Battery from tmart.com
Seems to be good, I decided to buy it
Has anyone gotten a wireless Qi charging receiver pad working with these bigger batteries? If so how'd you go about it?
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

What he said, and that's without even bringing Panerai into the mix.

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?

tomorrow. stay tuned.
hi both are similar price in the uk at the moment, just bought the zenwatch1 due to the fact you can easily change the strap.
but having major problems updating to lollipop atm...
phone is not being found in zenwatch app also, works fine with replying to mesgs and okgoogle
any help
In my limited experience as a new owner myself, I found that running the update whislt the watch is docked and charging helped.. I managed to upgrade from 4.4 to 5.1.1 quite easily when I found that.
On day 3 of ownership still a little in the messing about with it stage, so far 27 hours off charge and at %50 battery screen off with all notifications, using Slyde style watch face. mine also doesn't work with the zenwatch manager on google apps, but you really won't miss it when you are on 5.1.1. As the Android wear app does most of the things that the Zen manager is supposed to do anyway. I did find on this forum a version of ZW that does work, version 1.5.1.150515, so if you find and install that version, you may find that one works.
I had problems with the Zenwatch Manager phone-unlock facility and got rid of it six months ago - I haven't missed it.
Just a quick report back I had the zenwatch for two days ended up selling it and getting a sw3 the Sony beats it hands down
Speed of the system,
The charge is also faster, take under an hour to fully charge
Battery life Is also better
I wear a watch as much for the aesthetics as the function, and IMO the ZW wins on this score. My ZW does enough of what I need while being better looking in most situations, especially as I have about ten different straps for it.
Having used mine for a few days now, I have to say.. I love it. Stylish, comfortable and decent battery.. Used for over 38hours and still had 24% of the battery left..
I get all the notifications I have selected to get, I can reply directly to texts with pretty accurate voice control and It was under £100.. No issues so far other than the ltest version of ZW manager not working with it but You really don't need it with the watch updated to 5.1.1.
It's akeeper.

The watch was acting a little wonky with the BT connection so I did a 10-second hold-the-button-reset on the watch. When it came back up it has a black screen with a battery icon and an X inside it.
If I hold the button down it flashes for a moment then returns. I've put it back on the charger for a while ... nothing. It's dead.
Watch purchased as a gift for me - I do not have the purchasing information. Less than 2 months old. I have not gotten it wet and it was behaving fine until just before I reset it.
Any suggestions?

Make sure charging pins are clean and seated well. Maybe just leave it on the charger for a while....

So I contacted Huawei Support a week ago. After 4 phone calls, and being berated for misusing my watch, I have yet to get my return shipping label (that has been promised to me since May 12th). Oh, they also said there is a backlog on parts & repairs and it could take up to 4 weeks.
Recap:
Dead $400 watch
Decent Customer Service Reps doing their jobs - not mad at them
ZERO follow-through on ANY of the promises I have been given and a week after giving all the evidence and a copy of my DNA I still have a dead watch on my hands and no way to get it repaired.
WARNING - DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH unless you have $400 to piss away!
