Been 1 week in with the black/black and I'm still undecided whether I'm going to keep it or not. Android wear needs some tweaking but overall, it's a neat gadget. I kinda-sorta wished I went with the silver/gray but overall, the black one is nice.

Anyone have any faces to share besides Facer and Beautiful Watches?

Just my luck, I walk into Best Buy today and they had THREE Moto 360's! They were all the silver version, though. I played with them and like it. I walked out and didn't get one, because I was in love with the black/black. I am just going to wait until that color is available again. They're smaller than I imagined.

Why do you wish you went with the silver/gray one? I think the silver probably would look much better with a leather band. It definitely stood out more, while the black is very low key until the colorful screen comes on.

Android Wear 2.0 is being announced in two weeks.

Silver/gray looks more casual to me while the black/black is more sleek looking; which is a good thing.

Can we trade best buys. Mine all have the black and I want the silver.

Haha! That would work for me. We have a few other Best Buy's around here, but I'm too lazy to drive 20 minutes.

Ugh, you all are making me want the silver now! Silver with a brown leather band...:eek::eek::eek::eek:

This is someone's silver 360.

I might have to return the black/black and grab the silver with brown strap.

We'll see.. Stay tuned.

I wonder how the black on brown leather strap would look..?

So I bought the leather strap but I'm having a tough time trying to install.

Get an install kit off of Amazon, they have the special tool to pop off the strap, they are like $6. Otherwise just get a tiny jewelers screwdriver and you have to catch the lip of where the spring pulls back. Make sure you kind of cover it with your hand as the spring can pop out and get lost. There are some very good pics on the XDA forums of installation.

I got the Moto band off its the Kreisler band I'm having trouble with :( I'm thinking it's because it doesn't have the cut in the middle like the Moto band.

Been kicking myself in the @ss over sticking with black/black over silver/gray. Finally found a silver one today at my local BB and exchanged my black for it. Couldn't be happier. Looks 10x better (IMO) with some of the amazing custom watch faces that folks have done on Reddit (Facer page). Now, to find a nice brown leather strap with white stitching....

I returned mine. It looks cheap for a 250 watch and the sides of the bezel has a weird oily color probably due to the glass bezel on top affecting the LCD screen underneath.

Also, I used it mostly for google now, which I can just say ok google on my phone rather than the watch.

I just don't find it useful.

The thing about the apple watch is it has a nice style and beautiful screen. It can play music without the phone so great for jogs.

How does the apple watch play music without the phone?

Nice. Looks good! I picked up my silver/stone leather today from Best Buy. I saw that exact band right near it and got it. I haven't put it on yet, though. By cut it, what did you have to cut? Part of the leather band?

Once you remove the moto 360 band you'll noticed it has an opening in the middle of the band; Kreisler doesn't. So, I had to cut a little opening (w a razor blade) and it fits perfect! Before cutting it, the band wasn't going in.

Btw, if you need instructions on how to remove the band, check out YouTube. If you can't find it, I'll provide the link to the video.

Thanks, I found it. I'll take a look at it today!

I'm loving the battery life on this watch.

I'm not sure if mines is as good as others (with the new update), but I took it off the charger at 100% (7AM) and currently at 65% (3PM). I've been receiving alerts all day, so moderate to high usage. I have it set to auto brightness, and ambient screen is turned off.

I have been able to get over 24 hours with the watch, though part of my day includes being in airplane mode. This is also with Ambient mode off. today I am test driving ambient mode on, took off charger @0445 this morning, now 0847 and I have 82% remaining...
