I think this design is much uglier than the Moto 260[1]. [1] https://moto360.motorola.com/ https://moto360.motorola.com/

Some of the configuration can look nice though.

I think the Moto 360 looks great in pictures but IRL the screen is too large, the black bar at the bottom is irritating and the UI isn't custom for the round watch face (the square interface is just cut out).

Wow, that's probably one of the most unusable, non-responsive product pages I've ever seen on the web. After clicking the link, I stared at a black screen containing nothing but the "Moto 360" logo and a throbber for about 10 seconds before the actual page content started to display. Scrolling is just completely broken: moving the mouse wheel in any direction will scroll the page down. But there's no at-a-glance summary of product features, so you must scroll through the whole mess just to find out about the product. Animations and videos begin playing as soon as their section of the page is scrolled to, without being triggered by deliberate user action. One of the sections uses some sort of bloom effect on the text that doesn't work properly and makes the text unreadable. So after wading through all of that, I started reading some of the copy on the page, and while I was doing so, I was spontaneously sent back to the 'loading screen' with the logo and throbber while more content downloaded for another 5-10 seconds. I'm on a 10 MB/s DSL connection at the moment. The page took a whopping 228.85 seconds (that's three minutes and forty-nine seconds) to load over 13 MB of content. And, after all of that, I still don't have a clear idea of why I'd be interested in the product. This is just absolutely hellish web design.

  If I understand correctly, OP's comment was not about the web page but on the product listed on that page.

    I know, but he linked to the web page in order to provide background info on the product he was discussing, and I wanted to point out the extreme difficulty I had in actually obtaining that information from that site. Apologies if my comment was a bit of a rathole (but perhaps it's less of a rathole than actually attempting to visit that site would be).
