I considered the Huawei and LG Urbane but finally decided on the Moto 360. Ordered on Saturday noon with next day delivery and it was delivered on Sunday before 10 AM. Terrific service.
Set-up was easy but after about 3 hours of usage, the screen started flicking through various menu and notifications cards, as if someone was randomly swiping the watch face up, down, left etc. Rebooted it and after an hour or so, started doing it again. I thought it was the gesture control sensor acting up and disabled it, to no avail. Requested for a replacement and within 30 minutes, I get a call but was not audible. Then I got a sms that my request for replacement was refused by the vendor. After about an hour, got another call from Flipkart, asking for reason for return. After I explained, I got a message that replacement request was accepted and that replacement would reach by Wednesday. Got the replacement on Monday morning, and the same courier person picked up the defective piece
Now the watch - it is a joy to use and is well made. Feels good on the wrist, I get decent battery life of 1.5 days, no usability issues and integrates well to most apps like music, sms, whatsapp, FB etc. I am really getting to like seeing the various notifications on the watch, without having to pull out and look at the phone for everything. Navigation works like a charm, with the phone giving audio directions and the watch showing visuals. It switches off between turns to conserve battery. This way I don't have to fix the phone to the windscreen and instead keep it in the cubbyhole near the gear lever.
The fitness app seems a bit over optimistic. In fact the fitness apps are the only apps which I feel needs more refinement by Motorola. It integrates with Endomondo but does not show it's workouts in the daily summary, heart beat or calorie burn reports.
Google talk works well. When driving, it's nice to be able to say "OK Google, directions to XX" and have the phone and watch guide you there! Wireless charging is cool and the watch becomes a useful night clock when on the dock.
Overall very happy with the Moto 360.

Great product that is worth its price

Just been using it for half a day and seems to have changed the way one looks at technology. It really does complements your smartphone. With all the features and design it offers, the price is apt for Moto 360 2nd gen.
The entire idea is not to replace your smartphone with a jazzy gadget, but to ensure you can carry out simple and important tasks in a hands free manner.
I am really satisfied with the product delivery, its packaging as well as the build quality.

Take away my money because I want to wear a smartwatch type product. Overpriced. Poor 'OK Google' detection. Arm twist gesture, the only gesture has less than 50% accuracy. Awful battery life. An watch strap? Gets folded more and more after every use. Also performance is laggy. Quadcore 512 MB ram? AYFKM? Nearly stops responding if launcher is used. Pedometer accuracy nearly equal to any Moto phone.
Pros: Looks good, good touch response, feels good when touched. Bright and performs well once it detects 'OK Google'.
Conclusion: Buy if you have money to spare.
