What smartwatch do you guys feel is the best out there? (pros and cons)

Obviously some are still unreleased (or are on the verge of) and some like the pebble have been out for ages, but what do you guys feel you would choose if you had a choice one of them?

Edit: Seems like most people are looking forward to the Moto 360 or prefer the Pebble

I would choose none of them, but if I had to choose, the Moto 360 looks amazing and is bound to be good.

I have used the Samsung, Sony, and Pebble. I liked the Pebble the most. But I am dying to see the Moto 360.

I'm not going to go through all the specs,but the one with best battery life. is what I would pick. I know the pebble is pretty good when it comes to that.

None.

Question was if you COULD choose one, not if you would want one or not.

Not sure I would use any at the moment. I really liked the idea of pebble when I saw the kick starter fund for it, but I felt it was a bit of a gimmick at the time. Now, I would probably choose a pebble steel if I had to choose one, because i think the other watches are slightly counter intuitive, yet the pebble covers all the bases I would use.

I could choose one, but I won't.

I don't use any, but the Pebble Steel looks really nice and has great functionality, plus the fact that it's compatible with both Android and iOS, I think it's also compatible with Windows Phone, but I'm not sure. And it looks awesome.

 

The Gear Fit is more for someone that really cares about their health, with all the sensors and stuff, and Samsung's Gear smartwatches are only compatible with the latest Samsung smartphones, from what I know.

 

The Moto 360 looks really good, I think that it's only compatible with Android, it looks really good, has great functionality, etc. And it also looks really good. Oh, I said that 3 times...

 

I think that if I'd get a smartwatch now, I'd get the Pebble Steel..

It is possible to use the Gear 2 with other Kit Kat devices, but some functionality doesn't work. Also the Gear Live is powered by Android Wear and so I believe it can be used with any android device. But honestly I think the 360 or the Pebble Steel but I'd prefer the color screens.

i think the moto 360 will pass off easier as a an actual watch, as i see that as an important aspect alot of the others are missing

Its all about those volumetric clouds

Honestly, I think the best smartwatch is a $20 Casio watch with a Apple sticker on it :P
