Motorola - Moto 360 Sport Smartwatch 45mm Silicone - Black

...does well what it promises in tracking steps, telling time, showing phone notifications. The battery lasts only a day and a half, which means nightly charging. Clear, bright screen.

My wife and I both have Moto 360 Sport watches. I also own a first generation Moto 360. I love the build quality of the Moto 360 Sport. I feel it does a decent job of tracking my exercise. I am not a heart rate tracking freak like some people may be. I am not necessarily looking for the most accurate heart rate. I am looking for something that is just consistent across multiple workouts and I feel this watch does that.

The good: For me this watch checked all the boxes. Style: I wanted a round watch, so that it did not scream smart watch, which this does well. It is not a elegant or customizable as the other Moto 360 watch, but it looks good enough to wear around in almost all situations. The silicone band is comfortable and perfect for working out. Untethered workouts: I wanted to be able to run, without having to carry my phone with me. This watch has built in GPS to support run tracking. I have used some other running apps, but many either don't yet support onboard GPS for the watch, or are not as smooth to use. I found myself using the built in run tracking app, which does a good job of displaying necessary data while working out. Untethered music: What's the point of running without a phone if you can't listen to music? I use Google Play Music, so I was able to sync the playlists onto my watch and listen using the blue tooth headphones. Android Wear: integrates pretty well with my android phone. Battery life: I usually wear it from morning until bed, and I usually have about 30-40% battery left. I don't mind charging every night, because I have to do it for my phone anyway. Bonus: The hybrid display works phenomenally well. When in direct sunlight I can see everything crystal clear. No more covering and squinting. That is probably one of my favorite features, and I didn't even know I wanted it until I used it. The bad: The major issue I have had with this is that after owning for about 5 months, my watch decided to restart, and go into a boot loop. It would come out of it for a little bit, but eventually it just kept going and would never stop. I had to get a replacement (it was within the one year warranty). When searching online, I only found one other report on the issue, so it may not be very common. The built in activity tracking is just OK, but you can use Google fit or other apps if you prefer. Overall: This is not a hardcore runner's watch, but more of a daily watch that you can also use to track your runs. It would be better if there were more options to analyze the runs after.

Think Motorola hit the nail on the head with this watch. It has the right mix of fitness and smart watch features. It is very comfortable to wear all day and does everything as advertised. Pros: good battery life, easy charging, GPS, HRM, comes with good apps and watch faces to get started, comfortable to wear all day. Cons: no speaker, silicone strap attracts dust.

This watch had nearly everything needed for a successful smart watch. Compatibility and interoperability was great. GPS signal was above average fire other watches in it's class. Ability to connect Bluetooth headphones to the watch and leave your phone behind was awesome. The only drawbacks were battery life (less than 12-16 hours of life if used heavily, like hiking for several hours or running multiple times per day) and it's not waterproof (it's ok for a quick rain, but not for downpours, showers, or swimming). If you will always be near an outlet overnight and don't plan to be in the rain for an extended period of time, this watch will be fine.

I want to find an Android wear smart watch that can also do fitness. I mostly walk and jog. I'm not a gym goer. I prefer the walk and jog outdoor. This is perfect. I can leave my phone behind and the GPS works perfectly and I can also listen to music files stored on the watch through my Bluetooth headphone. I really don't like Google music app for the music function. It is too much hassle. The watch have to be almost 100% full charge to even start transfering files. I use the Wear Media - Music Gallery App. Its so much easier to use, but its a paid apps if you don't want ads. No ads on the watch though. The only CONS I can think of is the silicone band. I'm fine with non-interchangeable band, but it always look dusty. Its a dust magnet. I usually rinse off the band before sleep. Battery is fine for me. I usually take off from the charger at around 9AM and I put it back to charge at around 2AM. I usually use the GPS for about 1hr daily. It usually has about 20% battery left, so its fine for me.

The Moto 360 Sport is the best reasonably priced smartwatch I have found. The original Moto 360 fell short in many ways, and the second gen improved most of them, including battery life and responsiveness. The Sport version is essentially the same 2nd gen watch, just wearing outdoor play clothes. All in all, it's your average smartwatch in that it is a notification panel for your smartphone. If you are ok with that, you'll be satisfied with the watch. If you already had a smartwatch but wanted something tougher or more activity focused without paying over $300, this watch is for you. It has a couple added features that differentiate it from the regular Moto 360 2nd Gen. The screen has an always-on mode that is high-contrast black and white, almost like the Kindle Paperwhite tablet. It's really quite well done. The silicon band is better for sweating and wearing during activities. The heart rate sensor is much improved. The activity tracking/pedometer is also better. The internal GPS also allows you to track your activities without toting the smartphone along for the workout. It also comes with its on Moto activity tracking software, and offers watch faces with Moto or Google Fit data built into the face. Upsides - comfortable band that flexes with you, decent/acceptable battery life, always-on high-contrast screen visible in any light. Downsides - It still has the 'flat tire' at the bottom of the screen. The silicon band is a dust magnet and really does't look great when dressing up even a little bit. The band is not removable, it's moulded around the watch itself. And the band collects not only dust, but skin cells and can get pretty gross if you don't take a q-tip & alcohol to it regularly. The watch is tough, reliable, and has a good battery. It's also available at some really good deals if you take your time and look for it.

Good functionality, light, comfortable to wear. Display is good too. Love it!
