Am I the only one who doesn't wear a watch (even if I wanted to) because I don't like the way it scratches against my MacBook Pro?
One thing that I learned after years of scratching the glass on several watches is that you should take it off often.
Sleep with watch, and bath with watch are just two of the no-go. :)
Really cool stuff! From what it looks like this is a big departure from the previous Android smart watches that look like they jammed Android 1.0 on there. Two big concerns for me: 1) Battery life 2) Display visibility They go hand-in-hand for me. Get that nice high-res display but will it last me a day? For battery life it would be nice to have induction charging if it were to last about 8 hours (my personal guess).
I'm sad that no one is going e-ink here. That solves the battery and screen visibility problems so nicely, plus the screen is always on. If Pebble is going to be it going forward, I hope they continue to innovate.
I'm excited about this, and disappointed in Pebble. They were first to market but totally squandered their opportunity. I got my Pebble last year, and stopped wearing it after a week because all the promised apps were still a work-in-progress. One year later, not much has changed :/
What apps do you miss?
That stem is interesting. The Pebble has 4 buttons, which are generally mapped to up, down, select, and back. That strikes me as the minimum for useful app interface. With the Moto 360's stem I can see getting up down and select, but now how they'd do back. Maybe a long-press?

I find it hilarious that you name the exact model of laptop.

This is anecdotal evidence but I've noticed people using idevices mention the models rather than generic device names. I wonder why that is.
It says "MacBook Pro" right under the screen so that's what I think of it as. I also know that the terms are common enough that people will know what I'm talking about (as opposed to my old Inspiron 8000).

A Macbook Pro is made from aluminium. Most other laptops are plastic. Metal-on-metal scratching would be quite different to metal-on-plastic, so I'd say it's relevant.
