Input ClubHello everybody,
I am going to be closing this poll as it is unlikely that we will be able to get the Moto 360 for the community. The Moto 360 is currently out of stock across all retailers and given the high demand and short supply, it is unlikely that there will be any units that Motorola would offer below full MSRP.

I have the Gear 2 Neo. I love the battery life on the Tizen device. I charge every 2-3 days, including using it to run (Endomondo).
What is does it does well. It's successful of letting you know notifications. It's fantastic when used for phone calls. It has a built in IR for using as a remote control. I can control my media, such as ChromeCast streams.
The cons are well documented. There's a ton of apps, just not a lot of worthwhile ones. There are enough gems, depending on your needs.

It doesn't really matter that the 360 has an old CPU. Performance is smooth enough. Battery life suffers a bit, but the consensus seems to be that it'll get you through the day.

Frankly, all the first gen Android Wear watches have some problem with them. It would be best to wait for some second gen versions.
Not sure why Moto 360 is winning. This article has a good point:

Old processor probably hurts battery life, but MKBHD has been on Twitter saying that battery life is only poor in, "screen always on" mode, and when you put it in "screen off until you look at it" mode, it lasts a long time. I've heard similar things on Reddit. A guy went one day of normal use and only had it down to 60%.
IMHO, charging every night isn't a hassle at all. I think it is going to come down to functionality between the Apple Watch and the Moto 360. With Apple's track record of bringing devices to market that work seamlessly, and Android Wear practically being a Beta, I think this is going to be interesting.

I currently have the Moto 360 and got it on day one. So far I have yet to have an issue with battery life at all. on normal days (6am to 1030/11PM) I stay above 50% with fairly heavy us(I mean its my fun new gadget! lol)
As far as charging it every night its not a big deal I don't sleep with my watches on so its normal to take it off and with wireless charging its a simple as just laying it on the cradle.
one important thing that people are not paying attention to is that it isn't doing anything to the battery life of my phone. which was surprising given that I normally have Bluetooth off.
Over all I love the watch, coming from both a watch lover and tech guru. I was hoping for Apple to push the envelope a little more so that wearables would become more main stream. we have to remember that the tech world needs competition to continue innovating!
