Ive been after a smartwatch for a while and they are quite expensive. I managed to get one for around £50, on average they seem to be between £70-£250
I wanted a smartwatch that i could see messages and reply to them when i did not have access to my phone. I was given a fitbit charge which only enables me to see text messages. The moto 360 however, can be linked to all social media. While in range of my phone, I can get notifications from text messages, whatsapp, email, instagram etc, and also reply. I especially like the feature of recording a voice message on the watch which it converts and sends as a text message. It is much simpler and faster than trying to use the keyboard, which can be a bit chunky till you get used to it. I love the customisable faces. Facer and watchmaker are 2 of the best apps for downloading or creating new watch faces. The range is endless. The screen is very clear and sharp. I did have a small problem, I thought Id damaged the pixels on the screen. Searching online said there was no hope, then one day i switched it on and it had just vanished. This was lucky for me, as they are not that easy to fix. Even attempting to change the straps on the watch can break the back plate.
There are plently of smartwatches out there that can do the same as the 360, but i really do like the watch. Its less expensive and functions really well.
