Moto 360 2nd Gen Thoughts

My thoughts of the Motorola Moto 360


Where to begin, I guess with MotoMaker, this has to be the best way to customise any Motorola, with so many options it has taken the Apple Watch out of the top of customising. The Bezel can be a different colour from the Shell, that is impressive.
Now the looks, it is the most beautiful Smartwatch on the market from my point of view and it looks like a watch, its circular, it has actual watch faces, and a good thing is that it is discrete, for common folk it looks like a watch, however everyone notices the apple watch.
Now the most useful thing for me, is that it can now be used with an iPhone, although i have an Moto G as well, but one problem is that you can't reply to iMessages from it.
Now as with all operating systems, as time goes on it gets better or worse (windows 8!), but Android wear has been an amazing operating from the start, even though it basically only shows Notifications, Google has taken the approach of using a watch for notifications and Apple have taken the approach that the watch should be used for answering them as well.
I havent mentioned the Elephant in the room yet, which is the Sizes and Types. Compared to the 1st Gen which had one, it comes in 2 sizes, a 42mm and a 46mm, for the 42mm, you have a mens and women, with the 46 only having mens, of course it doesn't really matter but thats what its branded as.
there are 2 types of watch, the normal and sport, although I won't go into detail with the sport as it is a separate watch.
My final thoughts are that this will be the main runner for the 2015/16 period and it gives the apple watch a run for its money, although the operating system is the main thing that lets it down with limited capability to socialise without your phone, but I am sure that will change with time. What this watch has is the Looks, Personality, Reputation and User friendly colours. 

That is my thoughts on the Motorola Moto 360 2nd generation
