Ok to all the drama queen's we get it. You seem to not get that people have individual tastes in what "style" is.
This Guardian's "Microsoft has its head in the cloud over ugly wearable tech" article is hilarious. And I thought Guardian is so anti-Apple.
It has a point though
Especially this part

I'm still surprised we have a few people here who are unwilling to accept that the whole world does not share their personal tastes.
I don't need to name names as I'm sure we all know who we are talking about.
They appear unable to use just terms as:
"In my opinion"
"Personally I don't like"
"Myself I prefer the look of"
"I've always liked XX more myself"
"For me, I always like a XX design"
Or similar things.
I have tried on this thread and others to say that some people prefer a round watch, some people may have different tastes to others.
Some may love the Apple watch, some may hate it.
We all have own views when it comes to style and form.
But nope, these people simply cannot manage to accept this.
And have to denounce other items as junk, Rubbish, crap, bad design, Cheaply made, I'd not wear it if you paid me $1000 a week.
It's like being in a class of school children.

It depends on how that 46mm works with other design elements.
Things like lugs, bezel thickness, color of the dial all change the way the watch looks on a human wrist.
Thin bezels make the dial larger so even if two watches have the same case size, the one with thin bezel will look larger.
For instance, if you tried wearing the 47mm Panerai or 45mm Panerai to the Moto 360, I would bet that the Panerai would look smaller.
Bottom line is that the Moto360, because of its larger case size, thin bezel and non-streamlined case, it should appear larger than most watches.
I'm very surprised they didn't try to make it a little bit more comfortable. Just looking at photographs it looks really uncomfortable - hard plastic with a non curved display. And a display that easily scratches. I know the point of Microsoft Band is just data collection, but it's hard to collect that data if you're not wearing the device because it's too uncomfortable or too ugly. I love the comments section though...Microsoft fanboys out in full force.

I heard from a podcast that the main reason it's uncomfortable to wear is because the battery is on the band, and it makes the band very stiff.
Also because the display is a longish rectangle but isn't curved it doesn't fit nicely around your wrist. The biggest issue for me though would be the easily scratched display. I've seen some people say their screen got tiny scratches just from their clothing. I wonder why they chose to make the screen plastic? Cost?
I have to be honest, and just my thoughts.
I'd not wear a watch like that, and let's say it's $600 with that strap.
With just a small magnet to hold the strap shut.
Two reasons:
1: I can almost guarantee you, we will see people posting about they lost their watch, perhaps the moved their arm, the edge of something caught the end of the strap and without knowing it slid apart and they have lost their watch.
2: It would see much much easier for pick pockets to remove the watch with just a magnet to hold it on your wrist. If you watch them, they are dam good at even undoing a clasp, let along pulling a magnetic join apart.
Personally, I would prefer the strap to be a complete band of metal that was pulled together by a clasp.
I'm sure the magnet will be strong, but it will always be easier to open up a magnet for a thief or simply to lose the watch, than a clasp physically having to be un-done and the device slipped off your wrist.
My thoughts anyway.

I'm just going to take a wild guess that Apple did plenty of prototyping on the magnetic watch straps and designed something that won't come off that easy. But luckily for people concerned only two of the bands fasten with magnets, the rest are clasps or buckles.

Do not really care about the pricing. If it really looks as amazing in person and a beautiful fit with me, that is the one I am getting. Perfect for my tastes and style along with my iP6+.
The Guardian nailed it. Sorry kids. If you want to look like stupid with MS loser OS and walk around as if you are being under house arrest, get and wear MS fit bands.
Samsung, Google, Pebble etc already got or battling for the tacky, cheap Casio and Timex demographics.
Apple has it's loyalists / modern fashionistas / hip / Rolex, Omega, Tag, Patek Geeks etc / Swatch Kids etc / maybe even convert some of it's haters / women / Seiko etc Conservative fashionistas would be smart watch market / early adapters including majority or normal or geeks who would wear a watch for the first time or again all by itself ... Lenovo, Huawei, Shamesung jealous copycats are anxiously waiting (or already manufacturing their versions).. ...

As compared to what?
To the Apple Watch, which is hard metal with a non-curved display?
(I'm half joking. Yes, it looks stiff. But I don't know of any soft smartwatches, and only the Samsung and I'M Watch devices seem curved.)
Why did you make the comment in bold? The milanese loop is available in both 38 mm and 42 mm and is pretty much unisex.
I dunno, I guess it looks more masculine to me (even though I really like it).
Doesn't really help to show the 42 mm modeled on a male wrist. Try this 38 mm modeled on a woman:
It's is a 38mm on a very petite woman. Does that look like a man's wrist to you????

It does look like a man wrist to me but then again my eyesight ain't the same no more.
JayLenochiniMac's pic is so much better though.
The band alone will be at least a hundred bucks I guess.

Man
Woman
Not all men have hair on their arms/legs but it does look a bit manly to me compared to the model's more slender looking wrist. I suppose not everyone is a model so apologies.
Looks like the models wrist is possibly larger and not as slider looking since both are 38mm.
