Moto 360 review – Beautiful outside, ugly inside

This article is very strange, on page 2 they spend tons of time lamenting the 360 for having a terrible CPU, then run tests they themselves created which don&#x27;t really support the level of disdain they&#x27;re showing.<p>They then almost completely ignore the results of their own tests but tack on a point about &quot;well floating point sucks, so that explains our criticisms.&quot; Except it doesn&#x27;t. A much more likely candidate (which they themselves hint at) is using poorly performing storage or having software glitches.<p>So I cannot tell if the author didn&#x27;t understand the results or just wanted to moan that the 360 had an old CPU and didn&#x27;t really care what the data actually said (they also provide no source for the power consumption claims).<p>I won&#x27;t be buying a 360 simply because it has terrible battery life and costs $250. But this article is a little off. The second page just isn&#x27;t consistent with itself.

&quot;The Bluetooth phone-to-watch connection is unstable and loses connection randomly. Every android wear device we&#x27;ve tested does this&quot;.<p>I&#x27;ve tested all of them (literally), on 3 very different phones (GS5, LG3, Moto X) , and <i>never experienced this</i>.<p>Without any more data on the test environment, one might think they would stop to check whether the problem is on their side if it happens <i>all the time</i> on <i>every device</i>.<p>It&#x27;s like saying &quot;Every table we tried had objects roll off them. Therefore, they are bad tables&quot; (or you know, the floor you put them on wasn&#x27;t level)

The battery life is crucial on a device like this. Moto screwed this device up big time. Old outdated processor that isn&#x27;t as power efficient as current gen processors. Battery that lasts 24h at most, for a watch, that is off unless you turn your wrist. I would have paid more for higher battery life and a modern processor. This processor is from 2010, I just don&#x27;t understand.

The comparison chart and cover photo show other &quot;real watches&quot; like the &quot;Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300M&quot; which costs only.. $2,300 ( <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055NBVDM" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B0055NBVDM</a> ).<p>Ars Technica reviews are usually good but they couldn&#x27;t have found a watch that&#x27;s not 10X the Moto&#x27;s price to compare aesthetics to?<p>*Edit: Corrected site name.

&gt; While the outside is a good expression of what a smartwatch should be, the inside is fatally flawed. Motorola inexplicably chose an ancient 1GHz single-core Texas Instruments OMAP 3 SoC to power the 360. For some perspective, that&#x27;s a 2010-era processor in the same league as the iPhone 4 or Nexus One. Smartwatch processors don&#x27;t need to be as powerful as their smartphone companions, but there is no reason for them to be old. It&#x27;s almost as if Motorola raided a dumpster outside the TI factory for parts.<p>Haha, this is a good joke. Why do you need to have so much CPU power for a smatchwatch anyway, that won&#x27;t be driving tons of pixels every microsecond ? What&#x27;s really the issue there? We still use MUCH older processors in calculators as well, for very specific reasons too and for battery life.

Smartwatches will fail. It <i>seems</i> a cool idea, but like Dick Tracy&#x27;s wrist-phone, wrist-calculators, and wrist-watch computers (they&#x27;ve been around for many years), they won&#x27;t take off. Most of us stopped wearing watches the moment we got cell phones. Smartwatches are awkward, and an even smaller display than a smartphone - which are currently increasing in size.<p>Better is a bare headsup device - a &quot;display&quot; as big as you like, without being bigger. Google Glass <i>sans</i> camera (so no privacy concerns til we&#x27;re ready for it). It can even have the time in the corner...<p><i>EDIT</i> yes opps, s&#x2F;phone&#x2F;watch&#x2F;. Ironically cut&#x2F;paste was failing on my smartphone, as was I.

I find it weird that they&#x27;re critizing the CPU for being old, as if age itself is a bad thing.<p>I find it hard to believe an OMAP3 at 1GHz would be insufficient to power a smartwatch. Perhaps something is wrong with the software, they&#x27;re using slower memory chips, or the NAND is of the slow &amp; cheap variety.<p>I currently have a 1GHz MIPS-powered Android smartwatch (pre-Wear though), and it&#x27;s plenty fast. Battery life is not great (1-2 days), but this is a cheap SoC, produced on 45nm, with WiFi and bluetooth running all the time.<p>I&#x27;m honestly quite amazed at how much technology we manage to push into such small, battery powered packages!

Can someone tell me why they&#x27;re using a full Android stack for Android Wear?? To me its doing nothing that small (read very power efficient) micro such as an STM32 or an MSP430 could do with much more efficiency.<p>There is no reason whatsoever to run Linux&#x2F;Android&#x2F;Dalvik&#x2F;etc on a device that just needs to run a Bluetooth stack &amp; LCD. Doing this using an STM32 would give you an order of magnitude (guess) improvement in power efficiency with no difference to the user.

I&#x27;m a bit disappointed this review doesn&#x27;t go more into details on how the watch is to use on a daily basis. We&#x27;ve had months to talk about the technical specifications and looks, but now they&#x27;ve finally got one! Did it make them use their phone less? Did it last from morning to evening at typical use? When was it the most useful? When was it the least? The article doesn&#x27;t seem interested in these issues at all.

All in all, I think it&#x27;s too much of an experimental product to be spending $250 on. I&#x27;m not exactly wealthy to throw money away like that.

I should preface this by saying that I know very little about batteries and consumer electronics, but a little about watches.<p>The problem of how to keep a mostly or completely analog watch wound throughout the day was solved a very long time ago. I wonder how feasible it would be to use something like the rotor weight from an automatic mechanical[1] or automatic quartz[2] watch as a trickle charger.<p>Would that just be too little added energy for the added complexity?<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_watch" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Automatic_watch</a> [2] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_quartz" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Automatic_quartz</a>

The bottom line is it&#x27;s a &quot;crushing disappointment after six months of hype&quot;.

This watch looks really great except for the battery life. I hope that Motorola keeps working on it. I would love a longer-lasting successor. I&#x27;m worried that the poor reception due to the battery life might kill the whole concept.

With an e-ink display the battery could last month (think of Kindle e-ink display).

I think it&#x27;s fine to create an artificial battery benchmark to compare watches, but unless that is representative of actual use, it shouldn&#x27;t be used as the &quot;real battery life&quot; or anything.

What does &quot;terrible performance&quot; mean? Why is there some convoluted benchmark instead of a description -- better yet, a video -- of how it actually works?<p>What is it like to use one every day? Is it useful at all? I don&#x27;t get hangout requests every 15 minutes, does the battery last a day of normal usage?<p>I remembered why I don&#x27;t ready tech press any more.
