....ooooorrrrrrr do I hold out for the new generations of Android Wears? Any inputs?
fyi, I get a full day of use easily out of this thing in normal mode, but I prefer Cinema mode left on, which gives me ~3 days of use without recharging. Not sure why people say this thing has *****ty battery life.xblackrainbow wrote: ↑will probably be cheaper tomorrow...next month or next year...will wait for something with better battery life.
Yeah I am sure you can price adjust it. Do it today though as it seems this is only today's deal.plastikboy wrote: ↑After google dropped the price down to $229 last week I got BB to price match it. So I paid ~$225 last week, think I can get BB to give me $25 back? :P
When it first came out it's battery life was 8 hours.plastikboy wrote: ↑fyi, I get a full day of use easily out of this thing in normal mode, but I prefer Cinema mode left on, which gives me ~3 days of use without recharging. Not sure why people say this thing has *****ty battery life.

After using it for a few days, you barely notice the black bar. Obviously, some people will find it super annoying forever, but I think in general the black bar isn't too much of an issue.
Yes. The Steel Band is $80-100 alone; so $50 extra is well worth it. The Steel Band trumps the Pebble Steel Band; the former feels sturdy, is fairly resistant to scratches/scuffs, and has a good weight and feel. The Pebble Steel Band feels light, cheap, and scratches easily.
I don't think the back cracking is as prevalent. A lot of the back cracking stemmed from people using custom watch bands, which, when bent downwards, caused undue stress on the back plate (where the band meets). They had to revise the Metal Band to add spaces so that if you pulled the watch bands down, it wouldn't cause that stress.
The leather band on the moto 360 wears out quickly and the official metal bands go for over $50. They made the 360 band so you can't use any traditional watch band without possibly cracking the back plastic, there are lots of vids on youtube about this.
Like the other two above me, the steel band is definitely worth the money. I paid $299 for this with Telus a couple months ago - it makes the watch feels a lot more solid. And the leather band takes up to 12 hours to dry if you get it wet. And it is very uncomfortable to wear when wet.
