Moto360 Watch Review

Hey guys, this is Mac Heads 101, and today I'm going to be reviewing the Moto 360 watch by Motorola.

So, this watch overall, I like the look and the feel of the watch. Um, you can hold over on the watch and you can change the watch faces, and you can actually customize those to your liking.

So, uh, here I got a nice, um, manual watch face, or, um, yeah, non-digital. Here's a digital one, and I like this one because, uh, the weather will actually change in the background. Then you can, uh, go to Google to search something, but that won't always work. As you can see, there it was disconnected.

And, um, also the watch will turn on right when you flick your wrist, so overall it'll save some battery life to make a call on, and you can basically do whatever you want with "Okay Google." Then that'll show up on your phone.

So, uh, basically, that's pretty convenient because anything you want to access on your phone, you can just pull out right from your watch. And, um, okay, then you can also, any notification that goes on your phone, you can swipe to the left and you can see it, you can review it, uh, you can reply or you can open on your phone. Swiping to the right is obviously gonna close it.

So, any notification is going to go from your watch to your phone. You can cover over the watch with your hands and that'll close it. Things like Pandora, also especially while driving, I find that very convenient. I can skip a song in Pandora, see the song, or I can just close, go back to the time.

So, that's a lot less distracting while driving than it is to pull out your phone. So here you can see I can also have the maps, uh, while driving.

Um, but then the maps navigation is only going to show you the current, uh, road, not the next step. So it's a little less advanced than some other, uh, map technologies.

As for the apps, there aren't that many apps on it right now. As you can see, this is a timing app. I'm using the time myself for a Rubik's cube solve, but, um, right now there aren't that many apps. I think that when Apple introduces their phone and then as, uh, Android Wear becomes more and more, um, popular, people are gonna start to develop apps a little bit more than they do right now for watches.

But right now, it's a little hard to know, alright, what do I want this to do? Because most of the time, you don't want to interact with your watch too much, because, uh, at that point, it's more convenient to just pull out your phone.

So, like I said in the start of the video, uh, here I am on my phone. I can actually, uh, customize, uh, the different watch faces. So, um, this is my main watch face. I like it with blue and white, but I can change it to red. I can make the background white; I can really change it however I want.

And, um, so this, this, this is how I customize a digital watch face, but I can also customize, uh, some of the non-digital watch faces, like, uh, this simple-looking watch face. I can change the second hand or I can change the backgrounds to really look however I want to customize it to my liking.

So overall, I think the watch has a lot of potential, but, um, I don't know if it's for everyone. I know that for me, I opted to change the band. I don't really like the band that came with it, so I bought this band for the Pebble watch. It was just 14, and, um, it fits perfectly on this watch.

So, um, yeah. If you like this video or if you like the watch, feel free to subscribe, and you can see more videos like this. Thanks for watching Mac Heads 101. Subscribe, and goodbye.
