December in the uk or usa? I live in texas and just bought the gear s2 but i think im returning for this watch because of gps
[Moto 360 2015] gadgetrants:
The Amazon UK release date moved from Dec 1 to Jan 1 a few weeks ago. No clear sign on the Italian UK page. TBH I think both of those are pretty much speculation by Amazon.

I have seen absolutely ZERO news in the US since the announcement in early September. I have to assume at this point that like the LG, the 360 Sport is being indefinitely pulled, perhaps due to a major setback or two on the hardware side. The fact that Motorola has said nothing about it -- since they introduced it with a non-working demo months ago -- is pretty bad news.

-Matt
[Moto 360 2015] gadgetrants:
Good news, looks like a January 7 release date, $299. :)

[Moto 360 2015] jacare:
It is strange that Motorola hasn't yet allowed this smartwatch to be shown or reviewed... The only thing we saw until now were dummy Moto 360 Sports...
[Moto 360 2015] gadgetrants:
I don't think the design/development path has been a straight line....lots of little mysteries. One that bugs me is some apparent uncertainty about the size: early on it looked like it would be 42mm, but now the specs list it as 45mm. The fact that there were only dummies at the announcement in September was also a real red flag. I'm still hunting daily for any kind of review or hands-on data but....nothing.... Guess we'll have to wait and see in January -- though supposedly the earlier release in Europe may tell us something!

-Matt
[Moto 360 2015] Sher The Love:
The size of the screen is the same as the 42mm version, but the case is 45mm. I think that's where you're getting mixed up.

There's a few unboxing/first impression articles. Really waiting to see battery life in GPS mode and what data screens are customizable on runs. I tried other running apps on a Zenwatch 2 I had (connected to phone) and the data screen options for running were terrible on the watch. Basically time, average pace, and distance. No customization. I believe I tried Runtastic, Runkeeper, and a couple others.

At least, according to ZDnet, GPS accuracy is pretty accurate.... unlike the Gear S2 4G version with GPS. That was terrible.

[Moto 360 2015] Sher The Love:
Initial battery impressions from CNet - dropped 15% during a 30 minute run with GPS. For someone like me getting back into long distance running (and needing to drop a few pounds along the way) or just casual long distance runners who don't run marathons in less than 3 hours, I don't think this watch will be sufficient in terms of battery. That is, if this battery drop is consistent after updates or initial use after a couple days.
[Moto 360 2015] gadgetrants:
[MENTION=4256585]Sher The Love[/MENTION] thanks again for the additional info. I'll have to put that in my pipe and smoke it. ;) Though TBH a 30-minute run is probably close to the average for me (ah....maybe someday a half-marathon!...), so a 15% drop with GPS on is tolerable. On the other hand, I was on a 4-hour hike with my Microsoft Band last July and had to hook it up to an external battery once or twice to keep it going. Sounds like the 360 might need a similar treatment.

-Matt

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Just a quick follow-up: since I was trained/conditioned/acclimated by the Band to charging it every day, and was also used to "one GPS-tracked workout" per day/charge, what the 360 offers doesn't seem like a step back to me. I took a quick look at the CNET impressions (http://www.cnet.com/products/motorola-moto-360-sport/) and can't say I agree that charging the 360 daily is a burden/problem. I certainly don't know my way around the current field of offerings, but the CNET piece mentions that the Garmin 630 "lasts 16 hours with an active signal and up to three weeks in watch mode." There are two obvious issues with that claim...first, it's Garmin-reported (not CNET-tested) and second and more importantly, the 630 lacks onboard HR tracking (it requires the chest strap).

To be fair, the 360 afaik does NOT do all-day/continuous HR tracking (interestingly both Band 1 and 2 do), but given it has an optical HR sensor and the 630 doesn't, that may go some distance toward explaining the difference in battery life between the two. Actually that's a pretty weak argument, but it's not exactly an apples <-> apples comparison. ;) Either way, it looks like it did with the Band, that is, the 360 is for fitness ENTHUSIASTS and not hard-core fitness fans.

[Moto 360 2015] straxusii:
Preordered mine from Amazon UK for £184, it arrived last saturday.

Running without the phone works well and seems to track heart rate fine.

I have motobody automatically set to export to Strava which works fine.

Moto body seems to underestimate calories consumed during a run, it said 257 for a 25 minute 5k.

Battery life seems OK, 12% consumed in 1 hours use which included the 25 minute run using GPS.

An entire day at work from say 7am to 6pm tends to use 40-50%.
[Moto 360 2015] Sher The Love:
I'm somewhat shocked in the lack of interest in this device. Not that I thought it would be a hit, but forums are dead and so are comment sections in reviews.

Even if it's a great device for certain people's needs, if feel like if it bombs, there won't be much support from lenovo/Motorola for updates and bug fixes.

Anyone else feeling the same way?
[Moto 360 2015] gadgetrants:
I agree. I held off on picking up the Band 2 for quite a while, as I though the 360 Sport was worth waiting for, even if it took a few extra months. Based on the reviews and user reports I've seen so far, I have to say it looks somewhat like a first-generation, somewhat rushed-to-market device. If that's the widespread reputation that it has, then the odds are slim that Motorola will keep it in production/development and aim for a stronger 2nd gen.

Given that it can't compete with the harder-core training watches, and it's not widely perceived as a full-featured smartwatch (e.g.., it bugs the crap out of me, but I keep reading over and over that "lack of a removable band is a deal-killer"....seriously???...look at the last 10 generations of heavy-duty "running" watches and tell me again why a dedicated band is a problem), it seems that Motorola should have followed in Microsoft's footsteps and marketed the 360 Sport as something that fits right in-between a smart-watch and an activity tracker. Instead the reviewers got ahead of Motorola, and now the 360 Sport looks like it falls short on both sides (i.e., it's a hobbled smartwatch and a so-so tracker). I think it offers the best of both worlds but I might be in the minority.

-Matt
[Moto 360 2015] Sher The Love:
I think the watch features are pretty great for the most part. Only thing really stopping me is the fear of lack of support and I really wish it had a speaker for phone calls. That would really come in handy when changing, feeding, or just holding my newborn son.

Battery life isn't as much of a concern as it was before. Unfortunately, I'm giving up on distance running due to knee issues.

I'm actually pretty shocked android wear has been out this long and phone calls aren't supported by both hardware and software. I wouldn't want to have long phone calls on my wrist, but that would be extremely convenient when my hands are tied up or my phone is in another part of the house. Oh well, guess I need to wait another generation or two....

I'm really waiting to see some amazon reviews. It's available now with prime shipping.
[Moto 360 2015] jc monkeyballs:
I'm coming from a Microsoft Band v1 and just received my 360 Sport last Friday. I really have to agree with you - I was a little hesitant picking this thing up because the reviews were so lackluster, but I've been incredibly impressed. Compared to the Band it does quite a bit more of the general smartwatch functions, and seems to handle the fitness aspect just as well. The Band did not support cycling initially either, and it was added quickly. At least with the 360 I can use Fit Activity or Endomondo.

The permanent silicone band is still a little bit of a concern for me with regards to longevity. A Squaretrade warranty was only $38 for the added peace of mind. However, not being able to switch bands to something else doesn't bother me in the least. The silicone band is incredibly comfortable - one of the most comfortable watches I've ever owned, period. The Microsoft Band by contrast could get very uncomfortable throughout the day - especially working at a computer. I also haven't noticed this dust problem that every reviewer makes such a big deal about. Yes, silicone attracts dust, but I have to put my watch within 6 inches of my face to notice it.

Battery life so far seems okay. So far I've been tracking about 45 minutes of walking/jogging and have been getting about 15 hours of battery life before the watch calls it quits. This is perfect for my use case (a full day of work, plus a short workout).

This turned into a bit more of a stream-of-consciousness review than I set out to write, but I wanted to share a few thoughts. I'm very happy with this device over the Band v1 especially being pretty entrenched in Google's ecosystem.
[Moto 360 2015] gadgetrants:
Thanks! I'm still sitting on the fence and your comments were enormously helpful!

Something I forgot to mention: even though the 360 Sport integrates with several third-party systems, I still think the quality of the data presentation within Google Fit and Moto Body are somewhat underwhelming. Maybe it's because Microsoft did a reasonably good job with the Band, and they continued to improve data presentation with Band 2. I have to admit it's one place I have pretty low expectations for Motorola and Google, and that's a little disappointing.

-Matt
[Moto 360 2015] jc monkeyballs:
I agree - I haven't used Fit much yet, but I've been tracking with Moto Body. The app is nice, but lacking in some pretty common areas. For instance, Moto Body does not show an elevation profile when tracking a run with GPS. I know this data is being recorded because when I open the same run on Mapmyfitness or Endomondo (automatically imported from Moto Body), it shows elevation and Elevation vs Heart Rate. Hopefully Moto will update the app and presentation in the next few weeks.
[Moto 360 2015] Sher The Love:
To my understanding, the only supported workout type is running. Is there a way you start the running workout in Moto Body without GPS active for something like treadmill running or indoor cycling? I would want to do this just to track heart rate.

Also, are you able to set up and track heart rate zones for workouts? Any input on the accuracy? Thanks.
[Moto 360 2015] jc monkeyballs:
Yes, the Moto Body app can track indoor running. The only difference between indoor and outdoor running mode is the substitution of steps to estimate distance.

While running you can swipe right and see the heart rate zone information. I haven't tested the watch against my polar strap, but I'd say this is about as accurate for my purposes as the Microsoft Band.

http://i.imgur.com/KZ1URgX.jpg

I haven't cycled with the watch yet, but hopefully Moto adds that mode soon. You can use Google Fit or Endomondo to track cycling with GPS but neither show heart rate zone info.
[Moto 360 2015] Sher The Love:
Thanks for the info!
[Moto 360 2015] iruizeguilaz:
Hi

I have one and what I would like to check better is the GPS accuracy. the rest of the things that some people complaints I do not have problems with

Some people complains about some problems when your are listening musci from the watch and your are moving your hands, I have had that problem a couple of times when I strenth my hand moving and shaking them down but is smht unusual.

but the actual reason I bought the Moto 360 Sport is because the GPS and I am not getting the same results as with the mobile

examples of this week in some routes with a lot of slopes:

(Monday/Wednesday are the same route)

Monday: mobile with endomondo 8km 44

watch with moto body running 8km 69

Wednesday: mobile with endomondo 8km 42

watch with endomondo 8km 53

Thursday: mobile with endomondo 6,01 km

mobile with moto body 6,26 km

the mobile tracks the routes properly but the watch does some little bends now and then, they are very little but enough to see that is the wacth which is doing it bad. Another point for the mobile is that I used it in my first half marathon in Dicember and it tracked the distance properly (21,1 km)

I am going to do more tests in a flat route, looking more apps (perhaps ghorstraer could work) and I gonna compare it againts a friend's good garmin forerunner in order to get further information

have you had this kind of problems with the GPS??? for me 250 meters in 6 or 8 km is too many

regards.
[Moto 360 2015] D G:
Hi, I'm enjoying reading all the comments regarding this watch

Does anyone know how to set your max heart rate? I'm sure I did it when setting up the watch first time but now I'm at a loss as to where it is.

I'm really liking the watch so far, particularly the constant heart rate during a run. GPS is fast to lock on. Syncing to Strava works well. GPS accuracy... I need to do more testing before I can make a judgement. [MENTION=7210628]iruizeguilaz[/MENTION] - will be interested to read the results of your tests. So far I have only done two short runs and the route displayed on the map is not as accurate as I would have liked to see.

Some issues I've had so far...

I seem to be having the issue with bluetooth headphones constantly cutting out as reported by others.

Also, and this might be related to Android Wear in general, I have had a couple of occasions where the software hung up on me. Ive also had one occasion where the watch had completely turned off when I went to look at the time.

I have had one occasion where I had an issue syncing music to the watch and I had to reboot the watch to get it to start.

Finally, when docking the watch the charging screen with the clock... for some reason it appears upside down... I have to lift off the charger and reposition to get the clock to show the right way.
[Moto 360 2015] iruizeguilaz:
I did another test this weekend, I went for a run with a friend who has a garmin forerunner 910XT HRM. in theory, a very good sport watch.

I used moto body running half of the route, and endomondo the other half

endomondo tracked the same distance as garmin forerunner 910XT HRM, 4,85 km. whereas moto body running did a litle bit more that the garmin: 4,66 km moto body running versys 4,61 the garmin...

this route was pretty flat while my normal route has a lot of slopes, so perhaps the problems that I usually have comperint the watch againts mobile are because of that... and what I can tell is that endomondo seems to be fairly acurrate
[Moto 360 2015] zabumba:
After a mile moto body app on the watch make a resume of the mile but my distance units are kms not miles (I'm in Europe). Does anyone knows if we can change that (units in settings are kms).

Thanks

[Moto 360 2015] iruizeguilaz:
you mean the laps of the moto body running resume?

I have that problem, I can see the global distance in km but the laps appears in miles, I thing it is a bug of that app
[Moto 360 2015] zabumba:
That's exactly what I mean. And yes I think is a bug too.

Thanks
[Moto 360 2015] JimmyKane9:
Same issues here with Bluetooth and Miles.

It is a bug I suppose with the miles. They should fix it asap as complains are coming in.

Regarding the Bluetooth choppy playback I am not sure if it is Android Wear (software) related. Today I almost could not listen to music and putting my hands in my pockets almost broke playback. But as a test I changed the watch hand (from right to left) and I had no more issues with playback over Bluetooth. Can someone test if this helps?

Also to mention that Bluetooth choppyness happens only while tracking and outdoors.
[Moto 360 2015] JimmyKane9:
BTW If anybody is interested about GPS comparison I did a long run the other time.

HTC One M8: http://maplorer.com/gpx-view/gpx_vi...9_00_14_w_Ghostracer-17-01-16.gpx&motiontype=

HTC One sucked big time.

Forerunner and moto 360 had small differences and I think the moto 360 had better sampling rate. For Moto 360 I used the Moto app and no Endomondo, Strava or Ghostracer. I will do another test tuesday with Willy (if he is in) between the forerunner and moto.
[Moto 360 2015] zabumba:
Thanks. Nice comparison and nice running. What's your opinion about the heart rate in the moto 360 sport?
[Moto 360 2015] JimmyKane9:
The HR varies. As well as with the Mio Link armband HR I had it took me sometime to find the optimal position on my hand. Now the I've sent the moto 360 sport back due to a dead pixel. As soon as I get a new one again I will post more results.

One thing I noticed is that when put on tattoo inked place the readings are not correct, but that also happened with the mio link
[Moto 360 2015] JimmyKane9:
BTW can someone report the battery capacity aida64 says for the moto360 360?

Hi guys,

I bought the quick circle case for G3 from ebay

I'm satisfied from it, althought it doesnt close firmly' so i started to look for a magentic clip of some sort and encountered the speigen one that costs 10 USD.

I was wondering since I dont want to buy this clip and i dont want to buy another case.

Is there any other solution of buying just a clip at a reasonable price?

*this version of the case has QI capability and i dont want to interfere with it .

**if possible that the clip will be small so it wouldno bug me when i hold it.

thanks in advance!

Hello, does this work on anfroid 7.0 firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 24adithya:
Hi,

I had installed custom ROM developer by [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] 5.1.1. I believe it was AOSP (ROM link) around 5-6 months back. Everything was working correctly.

Last friday night it switched off and since, then it hasn't started up yet. Sometimes the home screen comes but it immediately reboots. It is continuously rebooting and i have to remove the battery from stopping itself from rebooting.

I tried going back to official stock rom 4.3 and used the command fastboot -w flashall and everything happened correctly..atleast that's what it said on the command prompt but it still the phone tries to boot up the 5.1.1 version. It's been a week and i haven't been able to get past this issue. I gave it in the service centre but even they haven't been able to get past the issue.

What issue are you guys suspecting ? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks,

Used Windroid Universal Android Toolkit to unlock bootloader and flash twrp. All went fine.

Then I tried to gain root by flashing supersu, also with the same toolkit.

Then I got a android figure with a warning sign.

Can't remember exactly what happened then, but after that I can't power on, screen stays black whatever I do.

Charging I going fine though, charging led is green.

My desktop recognizes when the tablet is connected with usb, but I can't login with the toolkit.

Any idea what I could do or is the diagnosis: bircked?

So happy! My problem is solved.

Here is what I did what resulted in my problem solving.

First I opened the back panel to see if the battery was all right.

After that my battery was empty, and I started loading my battery with the Nvidia adapter.

The screen showed a loading battery figure. After that I was able to boot into android as well as in the bootloader.
