Maybe I'm revealing my lack of fashion sense but I picked up a smart watch and the only time anyone's noticed it, they thought it looked pretty neat. Picked up a Moto 360 on sale for $175 a month ago and so far I've enjoyed it. Is it a must-have game-changing productivity device? Oh hell no. But considering how many watches you can buy for easily $250 or a lot more, I didn't think $175 was terrible for a novelty/luxury item.
If only for the fact that I can change the face to look like any style of watch or display info in an appealing way, it's been cool. The notifications and voice commands are more like added extras IMO.
I just figure that if I can buy a Timex for $175, a Moto360 for $175 isn't the worst luxury gadget I could buy. The traditional watch has the benefit of years-long battery life whereas mine gets put on a dock when I go to sleep. But mine is also a "Fitbit" and I can put any number of faces on it or spend 30 minutes in Photoshop designing my own. As a gadget lover and hobbyist graphic designer, I'll take changeable faces with neat ways of displaying weather and fitness info even if it means I can't wear it on a multi-day camping trip due to battery life.
