imagine how great the battery life would be if it had a 2.7" 320x240 screen and a 100MHz CPU on 28nm HKMG
LG G Watch Ran f'n mouthful

Looks great. Gonna be difficult for me to decide between this and the 360, but I'd probably go with the bigger display on the Moto.
real talk, did Moto get hit with an L or an LG?
RIP 270.

LG really did miss the marketing opportunity when they didn't license the name and call it the LG G-SHOCK.

Of course faceless thinks that looks better than the 360.
Unknown knows, what's up.
the 320 looks like a semi-circular smartwatch, the LG looks like something any normal person could wear.
speaking of Ls... Samsung lol

Or buy one now and enjoy them instead of waiting for some future date when they might get better. They are only a couple hundred bucks.
Honestly. It's like not buying a phone because something better is coming out "soon"
The difference is I don't really NEED one haha. I still can't even decipher if it's a fad or not... we'll see.

I don't understand. This is exactly what's happening with smartwatches.
The Galaxy Gear was announced in September 2013, the Gear 2 came out in April 2014 and then they had the Gear Live in June. Now they have the Gear S coming.
LG released the G Watch at the end of June this year and now they're bringing the G Watch R.
Not to mention that everyone else and their mother is doing a smartwatch as well. I mean, who here doesn't want the Asus ZenWatch? Right.
And then we're going to have new variants of announced models at CES.

the LG R looks better, but at least Moto 295 has something almost kinda standard maybe with Qi charging vs what i assume will be yet another single device proprietary connector/dongle.
i'd rather buy a 2nd Vita.

I'm just going to assume your whole post is sarcasm, but on the off chance that you are serious, what the fuck are you even talking about?
LGshock ugly? No. You're either blind, have bad taste, or both. Moto 360 half ass engineered? No, hell no. The fact that it has no bezel for real disproves that. Do you even realize what you're saying? And Apple isn't going to come up with a damn thing better than or different from what's out there already. Not in any capacity that would make other companies follow in its steps. They've been the one following for years now.
But again, I'm assuming you're being sarcastic.

I have a better idea, they all stop chasing this stupid idea and try something else.
Honestly, that's the best way to describe it

Can't wait for Apple to invent the smartwatch and show us all what we have been missing. 9th can't come soon enough.
Because that's how it normally goes right?

I think you can download maps before going abroad and use them offline so you don't use any roaming data at all.
If you search for "save map to use offline", you'll get the Google support page for it.
Moto 360 has a larger screen but no bezel. So when used as an actual watch, it will have to add the bezel with graphics. So they might be around the same physical size overall. 360 would have the edge for when it is used for notifications, but I still think the whole cards thing looks odd - something more discreet would be nice. Hopefully widget/app developers will be able to change things
Only a small section. Might get a city but not a whole country/region
You can restrict background data per app in the data settings. Tbh if you turn off all background data globally then you should be fine - maps will use it when it is in the foreground (because you're using it) and then just don't use other apps that use data
I have my doubts that anyone with an Android phone will be able to use the Apple device. That right there is big negative.

Microsoft will save us all.
I plan on getting the 100MB for $ from Verizon and just wanted to restrict other apps from accessing data.

Definitely not. But their device will be a template for next year's Android stuff. Right now, these Android watches are jokes and the companies are struggling. Maybe after seeing the right way to pull off a wearable, they'll follow suit. Guaranteed next year Moto won't have the 270. They'll fix that and have a real 360, at least.

I'm still confused as to why there is a black part missing on the Moto 360. Is that an engineering fuckup or they just couldn't figure out a way to cover it?

They put all the sensors and stuff there instead of a bezel. So yes, engineering fuck up; lack of talent.

The black area wouldn't even be that bad, if the software would recognize it. But it thinks the display is perfectly round, which leads to crap like this.
Not a huge deal, but still annoying to look at.
