has it really already been 9 years i still think of smartwatches as new tech oh god i'm gonna die soon

Still have mine in my drawer. Great watch, resisted getting another for years until wife got me a Samsung for my birthday. They have come a long way, but I still sometimes miss the Moto, wish batteries were replaceable.

I bought the LG G Watch when it was on sale for $80 with a free $50 Google Play gift card. I was worth that price, but, WearOS 2 declared watches without buttons dead, only a few months after I bought my first smartwatch. Google has an enormous history of killing off products, and while I know Android will have a solution to wearables, I don't see Google supporting WearOS permanently.

Had one of these.

Sadly misplaced it after about 3 years of use.

Moto 360 and Pebble Watch are still sick af today

I miss the no bezel screen, despite the flat tire. Unfortunately I burned through three of these in a short amount of time from the cheap plastic back, and the battery was absolutely terrible.

The Moto 360 just looks amazing. How come no smart watches are like that today?

9 years and smartwatch are still pretty pedestrian.

From buggy software, to shitty battery life, to too expensive.

Pebble Time Steel should have been the "standard". Maybe I'm the wrong audience but the Moto 360 is a big miss for me. A smart watch for me needs to have:

• Always on, sunlight readable display
• "3 day weekend" battery life
• Basic smarts only: notifications, alerts, calendar
• Durable, waterproof
• Compact size
• Fitness tracking

I don't care too much about "premium materials" once some basic durability is satisfied. I don't have an opinion about round vs square.

The clock seems off by about 85 years, I bet the Czechs must be worried
