How much did it cost in total then?

Motorola are one frustrating company. Their lack of information ruined the launch for a lot of people. This theme continues with waiting for dates for the rest of the world.
 
It worked out around £250. That's the price I was expecting Motorola to launch at all along so I don't mind paying a slight premium over the actual UK price to get it a few weeks early.

The first full day of use has been a joy, plenty of notifications coming to my wrist and a lot of attention from work colleagues!

Currently sat at 46% as I type this after being taken off charge at 7am.

How much have you used it? I hear the only bad side about it is that the battery life is pants and it needs charging several times a day?
 
Twice if you leave ambient mode on which is off by default and gives you a warning that it will impact battery life when you turn it on. Others who have left it off have said they can easily get though a day without having to charge it again.

Yesterday was my first real days usage, I was at work & notifications were coming through to my wrist via text, hangouts, whatsapp, Google+ & GMail. I'd say that I received around 50 notifications in total.

Charging during the day has not been needed in my experience so far & I have ambient mode turned on. There's a new update rolling out currently which I'm sure will tweak battery life even more. Reading online, it seems that the battery life continues to improve naturally after the first few charges too. :)
 
I don't know about a clock face making app but you can customise the standard Motorola watch faces to your personal preference and download completely new ones from the Play store. :)
 
Another battery update. I'm currently sat with 18% left after a full days usage, I'm about to go to bed and the Moto 360 is going on charge. This is with ambient mode turned on so I'm extremely impressed after reading a lot of negative reports online!
 
Pretty impressive then. I guess their bluetooth fixes were the cause of battery drains on not only the watch but for phones too. I noticed a lot of people were saying that their battery life was hideous since getting their 360.

Come on Motorola, give us something! I really want the silver so can't go to O2 and pre-order like others have been doing. I also keep seeing your images at the top of this page and they are making me jelly :(
 
It's been on there longer than its been on O2. Sadly no pre-order. I don't like the fact O2 list it as only on O2. Makes me think they have an exclusive. I don't mind that but I do mind that they only stock the black colour.
 
The battery life improvement reports were seeing in the new today is certainly interesting. Could it have been the Bluetooth disconnects torpedoing the battery all along and not what uninformed zealots like to think is a 2-3 year old processor?
