    Honestly this is the most compelling execution of smart watches that actually seems practical and elegant. Color me impressed. The moto 360 is shooting for a summer release.

    Clyde drexler ~ I like it! Looks like a modern day timepiece and not that square dick tracy look. I can go to the strip club or the gym to take creeper pics on the DL :cool:

    I really hate that they went with 'OK Google'. I'm not saying I have a better alternative right now, but it can be a mouth full with all of the other commands you're shouting at it. I also just hate saying "google" as a command. I feel like you should be able to adjust it to a different word, and 4 syllables to turn the command on (that is just going to be followed by another command) just feels like too much. "Xbox" is fine. "Playstation" is wayyyy too ****ing much.

    they probably want it that way so that it doesn't accidently trigger the command unintentionally.

    I use DashClock widget and it has an extension that lets you activate voice search just by tapping the extension. No OK Google needed, but personally, I've gotten used to saying OK Google so it don't bother me much.

    This seriously puts every current ittiration of the "smart watch" to shame. Next to this the Galaxy Gear is a toy for children.

    LOL. OK. Not even real, but... fine... I'll play along.
    BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA... LAZY *SS hipsters... :grin:

    About the only good application for any of that is the confirmation.

    "What's the Syracuse score?" <- Pay attention to your kid in the bath!

    I can think of some more responses, but... y'all are just going to flame back. :p

    Like the whole Bluetooth ear piece thing. I'm not a double bag so I'm not going to say commands in public.

    When you say "not even real" are you reffering to the product that is being released in during the summer of 2015 and actually has a physical protoype. The SDK of Android gear is online for your viewing pleasure also. It certainly is "real".

    Yes it is. The moto 360 is scheduled for release summer of 2014. I think they would have a working prototype if their target launch date is months away. Again the actual SDK has been released. It's a real thing.

    While I have zero interest in buying a smartwatch, these Google smartwatches are the first ones I've seen that look pretty good.

    Just wow! I had zero interest in smartwatches until seeing this. Now it's time to pay attention.

    So how much is it? I can't seem to find a price. "OK Google how much?"

    This looks balling as hell but I'll give it another two iterations before forking in the cash.
