I've got the second gen (bought to replace my Nexus 5 when I broke it). It cost me $200+ less than the equivalent iPhone or Galaxy, came with minimal OEM customizations and the ones it did have were actually useful, and the hardware customization options were a very nice touch in a world of black slabs. The 2014 Moto X was basically the Nexus 5 successor that could've been. It's visually just a more reasonably sized and reasonably priced version of the Nexus 6 and was my first foray away from the Nexus line in several years. My Moto 360 has also been mostly good as well. It flaked out at one point and I swapped it under warranty but the experience with customer service was a troubling sign of the state of the company. Their website had a lot of issues and I couldn't follow the normal process for requesting a warranty exchange until I managed to get hold of someone who knew what they were doing on the phone. I really hope they don't start to go downhill now that they've left the Google umbrella because it seemed that they were really turning it around after years of poorly designed and annoyingly branded "DROID" phones.
