The Wear 2.0 software in this device is wonderful and the watch runs pretty smoothly with minor hiccups on a rare occasion. Battery life is acceptable and gets me through a 16 hour day (with the always on screen enabled), but just barely. If I had a heavy use day with lots of messages coming into my phone it'll typically die off an hour or so before I get to bed.
Also, for the price the device is lacking a lot of features such as: NFC for mobile payments, no heart rate sensor nor sleep tracking (I don't expect all these features to be included at this price but to have none of them is a detractor for me).
Unfortunately my unit stopped working completely 2 months after I purchased it (it was fine, then next time I look at my wrist the thing died and it never came back on).
Luckily I had the geek squad on it and returned it with no hassle. I don't regret the purchase but I don't think I'll be getting another one. Most likely I'm going to wait for more Android ware options to come out that have a better feature set.
