Smart watch recommendations?

I'm not really a watch guy as I haven't really sought one out, but I have kept close attention on the smartwatch scene. With the moto 360 not being what we all expected, what do you recommend? Should I even consider the moto 360 at this point, or should I look at another watch?

I'm looking for opinions from people that have had experience with these watches or have seen them in action. If I'm going to strap this to my wrist, I want to make sure I get the best experience currently possible.

The Moto 360 is amazing, Motorola pushed out an update last week for it giving people somewhere between a 40% - 50% battery improvement!

Battery life before the update was still really good, people who where complaining had put their display to ambient mode which kept it on 24/7 in a low power mode which was killing the battery, with ambient mode off people made it EASILY thru a full day. (You just move the watch up to you're face and it turns on showing you the time, or you could tap the display or press the side button.

 

I recommend the moto 360 it's the only smartwatch that will make people go "WOW" at this point in time.

 

:D

I don't think I've ever bought a watch, so if I'm going to buy one, it will most likely be a smart watch
