I've found the Android Wear & Moto 360 communities on Google+ a good source of watch faces.
So after reading about the update increasing battery life I went and called up my 'local' o2 store and they had one left in stock, which is now sat next to me charging.
I wasn't planning to buy one damnit, I blame you guys
Congratulations, I'm sure you'll love it! Which colour did you get?
Well ****ed. O2 store tell me my watch won't be here until Monday. I can't get a refund on the deposit until Monday.
Andy where did you get the silver?
I'm looking at the O2 site but it only lists free delivery. No mention of weekend delivery?

Checked at the O2 store near victoria... didn't have any as apparently a lot are on back order already.
Interesting conversation though..
ME: Hey, have you guys got any Moto 360's?
Women: No sorry we haven't got any in yet, its a very popular phone.
Me+her colleague: *Look at each other and together say*.... Its a watch....
Women: Oh I didn't know, I work in a phone shop and know f all about them hahaha

Anyone else having issues with the heart monitor?
If its on my wrist as normal it either takes a long time to monitor or times out. If I put it on the underneath of my wrists, takes less time and doesn't tend to time out.
Only thing I can think of is either skin thickness or hair causing it.

I've got quite hairy arms and its fine for me, not had any issues with it that way...
I've tried to get Runtastic app to use it but unfortunately it just times out when it attempts to find it, hoping for too much too soon i think!
I also think black was a wrong decision, it just doesn't look that great in comparison to silver... Black with a black face is too much, black with a white face is going to be like a torch in some pubs/clubs.
I feel silver with a black face is probably what I should have waited for, ah well! hehe

So it picks up quick every time? How tight do you have the watch on too?
Few threads on xda appear to confirm that the heart rate thing isn't all that reliable or accurate too....
As another question, what are people doing about overnight charging?
With it charging so quick, is it safe to leave it on its dock overnight? What about the reports of screen burn in that are going around, caused by the charging screen?

Seems its probably around 5 to 10 seconds to pick up, i wasn't expecting it to be instant so i thought that was fine.
I dont like a tight strap, I have it so that i can manage to get a finger in where the buckle is without too much resistance...
If only there was a way to stop the "OK Google" text displaying every time I look at it, there should be a limit on how many times someone needs to be told this.

What do we know about changing the strap on the Moto 360? If buying a replacement, is there a measurement to look out for?
Anyone with a link to a nice dark metal strap like seen on the image below? (My unboxing video, realised I didn't post it yet)
**EDIT**
How about this for example. Would I need watch tools to swap the strap?

Don't think that strap will fit as it's 22mm I'm sure the Moto 360 is 20mm
This one should fit, but this a guess

I've been charging mine overnight without fail since I've had it Boom. It goes on charge around 11pm and comes off the charging stand at 7am. No signs of screen burn here and I'm sure that the last update lowered the screen brightness during charging. Perhaps this is Moto's way to prevent image retention...?
