Are you seeing the finish chipping a lot? I really like the sleek look of the black over the stone but fear it'll chip from what some reviewers are saying.
I've already ordered the Black through Moto this morning and should be here by next week, however just about every BestBuy around me had the Silver in stock. Not only am I torn now, but I'm also pressed for time (trying to cancel my Moto order if necessary).
Anyways any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

I've had mine for a few weeks, and used it daily including during exercises (thus exposing it to sweat). So far, I haven't seen any issues with the black finish.
I'm really tempted to buy the moto 360 but MWC is just around the corner. Should I hold out for the second generation? Anyone know when itl be released? Wanted some advice from current owners. Is there anything you feel the first gen is severely lacking which might be in the second generation. Battery isn't an issue for me as I'll happily charge everyday. Anybodu used it with a nexus 5? What is the perofrmace like? Any problems with it disconnecting?.
Any thoughts/advice greatly appreciated.
OK so I've decided I'm going to buy a second hand moto 360.
Anything in particular I need to look out for apart from general wear?

Look out for? As in things that can go wrong? Oddly enough I am on my 3rd Moto 360. The first one had a dead pixel and didnt play nice with any other Qi charger aside from the Moto one. The second one, 2 dead pixels, and yep I returned both. Sure a dead pixel isnt a HUGE deal, but on a 250.00 watch that had this issue right out of the box, I didnt agree with that. Not to mention that once I seen the single or double dead ones, I knew they were there and my eyes constantly gravitated to it! . Oddly enough, both of these were gray banded and silver watch. After waiting a few months, I decided to pick up a black one (Yay tax returns!) , and not 1 single dead pixel, and my old wireless charging mat actually works fine
So check for dead pixels and the infamous cracked back that people are reporting on theirs (which I think would come from using a different band thats not made for the 360)

Thanks for your insight! I have a 1 dead pixel on my 40 inch TV and because I know its there its probably one of the most annoying things!
I will be checking the moto 360 out later on today. It is the black one and comes with both a leather and metal strap. He currently has the metal strap fitted. Are the cracks easy to see or will i need a magnifying glass?! Are there any reports of the vibration motor not working correctly or any thing regarding software which I should check before buying?

I havent heard much about the motor crapping out and as for the cracks, just search google since they seem to vary in size. But also as I mentioned, they "seem" to stem from the use of 3rd party watch bands. I just got the official 360 black metal band to go with my black watch, and seeing how Motorola included these little plastic tabs that fit into the slots to fill in the gaps, I can see how aftermarket straps could possibly damage it.
FYI, if the metal strap that comes with the watch is the one for the Pebble watch, be prepared to have any and all hairs on your wrist ripped out!
In November I had a problem where my Moto 360 battery dropped like a rock. About 50% per hour. After a couple of days I called Motorola. Very nice folks. I have a silver Moto 360 with a grey band. They said they'd send a replacement immediately and gave me a FedEx label to return my old one. The next day my original 360 was back to normal. I decided that I'd still do the switch just in case it was a hardware issue.
The replacement 360 never came. I didn't think much of it since my original one was working fine. About a month later I got a call from Motorola saying that my replacement watch was on back order. They asked if I wanted another model. No thanks, I said, I'll just keep waiting. January, same thing. Phone call, my silver one was on backorder, would I like another one. No thanks.
Then, in February the battery burn happened again. But, went away after a reset. They called again in February but this time to tell me that my silver with grey was still back ordered. This time I asked what models they had available for replacement. The only silver one was with a metal band. More expensive? I asked. No, just a one for one replacement. Ok, I said. I'm not a fan of metal bands but I have other leather ones I can use.
It came in two days. In original store packaging with a charger. As if I just bought this at Best Buy. Included was a generic brown box to return my old one. I called and asked if they wanted the old charger, too. Nope. So, I just sent my original 360 with the watch band in the brown box. Now I have a silver metal band and a second charger.
Thanks, Motorola, for great service.
The same thing happened to me. My stainless steek moto 360 with gray band had crack on the back. I was given a runaround a few times. I had to keep calling to ask for updates. After 2 weeks I got a moto 360 replacement with matel band n got to keep the charger .
Hello, I am interesting in buying this phone, but i have some questions:
1. Which style shell is in the box? (Ive seen black, red and wooden ones... How to know which one is in sealed box)
2. Is it better white one or black one? Any difference?
3. Is it better single sim or dual sim? Any difference?
1. Black Nylon in Germany
2. I think black
3. Dual Sim -> To use two sim cards
I got the wooden one. I thought you can choose which one to get?
The white one is going to show all the sensors (black dots in the front) so black one is better imo.
Dual sim is better
Im so confused for style shells, I mean would like to have wooden one out of the box... Is there any way to check which one you will get based on your region or phone model?
Asking about colors (even i prefer black) because i saw on reviews that black ones are fingerprint magnets, while white ones are not, and asking about dual sim - single sim to check from you guys who brought it, if its there any differences spec wise.
Thanks for replying
In Mexico we get the Red Nylon shell, it's pretty awesome but it gets very dirty very fast.
Up in the great White North (Canada) phone, charger and nothing else, no moto shell, no data cable, zippo f**k you Rogers.
Good luck finding moto shells here as well, the f**king idiots at all the cell stores look at you like man what the f**k is a style shell. Finally after going to 10 stores and look at all the f**king crap for Icrap and Sucksung, I finally found the wood and leather style shells. Oh and it gets better, I can order it form Amazon for that amazing price of $ 100 bucks , f**k you Amazon

What are you going on about? $15-20 (USD) from Amazon
US (GSM unlocked) model came with a Grey "oak" style shell and charger. That's all. I got it directly from Moto website.

I have no issue finding the style shells, Telus and Koodo stores carry them as does Wireless Wave.
Some cases replace the style shell, I don't use mine. It was black for a black Z Play (like already mentioned, in Germany).
Regarding question 2: The difference between the black and the white version is - of course - the color. If you don't compare Chinese black 64GB dual SIM against European 32GB single SIM

I have two options
Motorola Z Play 32GB Dual EU black or white, box is sealed so buyer opens it first, and I dont know what to expect.
I used motorola milestone, moto x and now want to buy z, the thing is they are not so popular in here, but i like them and they served me well, they didnt advertise so much until moto z and people are used to eg iphone or samsung... People under rate them just because they dont want to admit that they wasted 1000$ on something which they could spent 400$
1)
In Brazil, the box has:
Red nylon shell.
Earphones.
Turbo charger.
USB C cable.
2)
Black. I don't like white phones. The only diff is the color.
3)
Dual SIM.
Works fine with only one SIM.
Dual Sim.
My Verizon device came with the wooden one. I bought a blue Incipio one for $20.
I just found out that phones are from Germany, so black one have black back and white is still unknown
My white retgb bought in UK has black nylon style shell

Rogers/Telus/Koodo should all have the same deal in the box.
Turbo A/C wall charger (no USB data cable) and a sim tray key. No shell/skin. I wouldn't doubt it if future phones stop including the wall charger and sim tray key, and expect customers to buy those separately, too.
I've been holding off for the Nougat update before I start using the phone (because I want to unlock bootloader and root, and don't feel like doing it in Marshmallow, then all over again in Nougat). By now I've received most of my online orders for accessories:
* Flip case (one arrived, the other one still on its way)
* screen protectors
* camera lens sticker from GadgetShieldz (supposed to reduce the chance of the back camera glass from cracking should the phone drop)
* USB micro to type C adapters (so I can use a spare data cable)
Most accessories arrived before the Nougat OTA. I ordered the phone on boxing day and the accessories shortly afterwards.

At least they gave use the Turbo charger but Moto does that on all their Canadian branded phones, absolutely no accessories, my moto x and moto x play same thing.
Bye the way you can flash my Nougat rom, works fine on all moto z play's, we'll be the last to receive Nougat.

I figured just as well. Just that I'm in no rush. Currently using a Moto X Play. I rather wait for the Telus/Koodo tkpca software channel to release the OTA, unless Telus goes out of business. That'll leave me with minimal steps to do nandroid backup and then root.
Hello, Had the M9+ with Dot View and do not wanna miss it not only because of the dots but the automatic open/on closed/off funktion.
So I was wondering if HTC planned that with U11+ and searched for the magnetic switch and found it underneath the 'back'- buttom.
Not sure if that meaning anything so I'm searching for any U11 owner to find out if this phone also having that switch. If there is also one,
i guess HTC plans nothing as this U11 meanwhile has an age of 7 month and still without any Dot-or whatever View.
In this case I plan to think of building a book case for my own for that on/off feature. Thx for reading this complete uninterresting stuff!
In the end I got it done. Ordered this Flip Case, implanted that little magnetic piece from an old Dot View case to the right place. Now I have my on/off automatic by one-hand-opening/closing. Do not miss the dots tho' they were stylish...
