原文： I've been very reluctant to get into the smart watch game, and it took me a lot of waiting, researching, and a pretty decent sale before I decided to pull the trigger on the Moto 360.
So far though, I'm very impressed with this watch, and the Android Wear platform, considering how relativ
ely young the smart watch scene is. What sold me on this watch was the round face (I think the square faced smart watches look like 25 cent cracker jack prizes), metal band, water resistance, and customizable faces.
I'm often asked by curious people if anyone really "needs" a smart watch. At this point, I can comfortably say "no". However, certain features absolutely become quite nice and easy to get used to, to the point where going back to a standard watch may leave you slightly disappointed. Specifically I'm thinking of notifications and activity tracking.
My phone is usually on low or vibrate in some baggy pockets, so I often miss notifications/texts until I pick up my phone and manually look at it. Now, I never miss them because I feel a quite, faint, yet unmistakeable vibration on my wrist that lets me know I have a notification. From there I can either look, or choose to ignore it for now and take a mental note to look at it when I have a minute. And it's not just texts, it's all apps and emails. It's also very nice to be able to see who just emailed me, and if necessary, read the entire email text on my wrist, or just the first sentence or so and read the rest on my phone later.
The activity tracking is admittedly not that necessary, but still very nice because it's significantly easier to use the built-in heart monitor on the Moto 360 than the one on my Galaxy S5. It's also very nice to have the pedometer feature because I used to use a clip-on one on my waist, which occasionally would get in the way, fall off, or I'd forget about it and accidentally destroy it through a washing machine cycle. Having these activity features built into my watch instead of all in separate clunky devices is a huge win.
It's also pretty cool that when viewing notifications on my watch, I can tell it to open the relevant app on my phone with one touch and save a little bit of time manually opening it.
Cosmetically, the unnecessary but extremely cool (and a main selling point to me) feature is the customizable faces. There are a handful of options built-in, but I only used each of those for an hour or so. Where you really want to go are the community-designed watch faces, of which there are hundreds. Some are downright awful, but there are many very impressive designs. They span from simple (basic digital or analog style), to impersonating real-world high-end designs (Rolex, Breitling, Invicta, etc), to car themed (Ferrari, Chevrolet, Aston Martin, etc), to game and movie themed (James Bond/GoldenEye, Zelda, Star Wars, Tron, Halo), to confusing yet awesome (very cryptic designs that take some time to figure out how to decipher). Basically, there is really a watch design for everyone out there. You can even design your own if you have the patience. You may need to download separate apps (some free, some not) to transfer over your custom watch faces.
Customization is a huge plus here as well. Not just the customizable watch faces (which are incredibly awesome), but the fact that Motorola offers several variations of face and band colors and designs. Black, silver, champagne, gray, metal, leather, etc. Mixing and matching the physical design choices give you quite an array of choices. I settled on the black face and black metal band personally (I like not needing to worry about getting a leather band wet), but the other colors looked just as cool.
I also have grown to love the nightstand watch this turns into when charging at night. It is very small and dim, so it doesn't hurt my eyes to look at in the dark, nor is it just generally annoying to have in the room. It also tells you the charging % too, which is nice, and charges surprisingly fast as well. While I would love a non-wired charging option too, such as a micro USB port, I've lived without it fine so far.
Battery life isn't as limiting as I was worried about based on other reviews. My first day of using it, from about 7:30am to 8pm, I had 60% left on my watch battery with no charging in between. This was with very moderate use though, such as checking the time every half hour or so, and checking a handful of notifications throughout the day. You will absolutely need to plan on charging it nightly, but I doubt I will ever need to charge it mid-day to avoid an early battery death. However, this was with ambient mode off. I did try one day with ambient mode on (which leaves the face on very low brightness all day), and I had 20% battery left at the end of the day. So I could see ambient mode being problematic depending on how long your days are and how much you use the watch. I didn't want battery life to be a concern so I turned ambient mode off the next day. But improved battery life that easily allows for ambient mode would be a great upgrade for the next Moto 360 iteration.
Initial setup was pretty easy. You just need to connect it to your phone's Bluetooth, install some firmware updates (which did take several minutes), and that was pretty much it. Needing constant Bluetooth connection with my phone was a little bit of a change for me. I usually keep Bluetooth off except when playing music to keep my phone's battery life better. So now that I need it on 24/7, my phone's battery life has gone down slightly, but not in a deal-breaking way. I also have to remember to keep my phone and watch within about 30 feet of each other to keep my watch 'on the grid'.
I did need to resize it up one segment from its initial size (even with a below average wrist size), and resizing expensive watches has always given me anxiety. But I got through it with a five dollar watch resizer from amazon in under ten minutes with no issues.
So why the 4-star rating? The one and only thing that really bugs me is the so-called "flat tire" design, referring to the black strip at the bottom of the watch face. It ruins a lot of potentially good custom watch face designs and is generally just hard to look past if you have any OCD tendencies. I believe they'll find a way to fix this design problem in the next version, and then this will really be perfect. However, I did find a way to almost forget about this problem by only using custom faces that lend themselves well to the black bottom. My current "Star Wars" face is mostly black so I hardly notice the black strip anymore. There are also other clever designs that use the black strip as scenery, a horizon, a cityscape, and so forth, to where it actually even looks intentional.
So my bottom line on this, is if you can get it at a pretty good discount and look past the flat tire design, it's a very capable watch that I have really grown to love. However, from what I understand, there is a version 2 around the corner, so if you can wait (and are willing to pay more), it may be better just hold out for that one.
*Summary*
Pros:
[+] Love the round face, an absolute must for me
[+] Customizable faces are a lot of fun and give everyone an opportunity to find the perfect theme for them
[+] Plenty of face & band colors, in both metal and leather
[+] Water resistant, so I don't need to stress about being around water
[+] Vibration is subtle, quiet, yet effective
[+] Instant notifications that I never miss, unlike with my phone
[+] Enough battery life to get me through the day easily with ambient mode off
[+] Included wireless charger is high quality and charges very fast
[+] Really liking the small, dim, bed-side clock the watch turns into when charging wirelessly at night
[+] Metal band looks nice and wasn't too difficult to resize
[+] Release clip on metal band keeps watch secured very well and makes it easy to release and remove
[+] While some people say the face is too big, I think the size is perfect how it is. I hear the next one may be smaller, which would be disappointing to me. I really hope they keep a larger size option still available.
Cons:
[-] Obviously, pricier than nearly every other watch out there
[-] Black strip ("flat tire") at bottom gets in the way of many otherwise awesome watch faces
[-] Improved battery life would still be great to make ambient mode more feasible

译文： 我一直非常不愿意在智能手表上玩游戏，在我决定尝试使用Moto 360之前，我等待了很久，花了很多时间去考虑，也看到了它相当不错的销售。
到目前为止，我十分看好这款手表和它的Android Wear硬件，虽然智能手表的出现还不算久。我看中这款腕表的是圆面（我认为这款智能手表表面看起来像25分大的饼干尺寸）还有金属带，防水性和可定制的样式。
是否有人真的“需要”智能手表，别人常常很好奇的问我。在这一点上，我可以很坦白地说“其实不是的”。不过，某些功能其实也是相当不错的，而且用久了就习惯了智能手表，就不会再想用一般的手表了。具体来说，我正在研究它的通知和活动跟踪功能。
我的手机通常只有小声的铃声或在一些宽松的口袋里震动，所以我经常错过通知或者短信，直到偶尔拿起手机才看到。现在，我从来不需要顾虑，因为我感到我的手腕上有一个相当微弱，但却实实在在存在的震动，让我知道我有一个通知需要接收。从那里我既可以选择看，也可以选择忽略，当我有一分钟空闲的时候，就可以留意一下里面的注意事项。这不只是文本，而是所有的应用程序和电子邮件。能方便的看到谁给我发了邮件，我也很高兴，如果有必要的话，可以阅读手腕上的整个电子邮件文本，或者只看第一句话，稍后在手机上阅读。
活动跟踪不是很必需的功能，但仍然非常好用，因为使用Moto 360的内置心脏监测器其实比我的Galaxy S5更好用。有计步器的功能也是非常好的，因为我曾经使用过一个挂在腰上的夹子，偶尔会阻碍我行动，或者不经意间就脱落，或者我会忘记它，并一不小心扔进洗衣机。将这些功能都嵌入到我的手表中，而不是放在单独的又大又不方便的设备中，这真的是一个很好的突破。
当我在手表上查看通知时，我也可以直接语音控制就可以打开手机上相关的应用程序，而且很省时省力。
美观其实不是最必要的，但是还是觉得看起来非常酷（和我的主要卖点）的功能是可定制的样式。有一些内置的选项，但我只用了一个小时左右熟悉它们。可能真正让你喜欢的会是可以选择设计风格的表盘，其中有数百个。有些是看起来比较吓人的，但也有很多非常令人印象深刻的设计。他们从简单的（基本的数字或模拟风格），到模仿现实世界的高端设计（劳力士，百年灵，Invicta等），汽车主题（法拉利，雪佛兰，阿斯顿马丁等），以游戏和电影为主题（詹姆斯邦德/金眼，塞尔达，星球大战，特伦，晕），还有混合但很棒的风格（非常神秘的设计，需要一些时间来弄清楚如何破译）。基本上，每个人都有一个手表设计。如果你有耐心，你甚至可以自己设计。您可能需要下载单独的应用程序（一些免费，一些不是），然后通过自定义表面转移。
定制在这里也是一个巨大的优势。不只是可定制的表盘（这是令人难以置信但是真棒），实际上，摩托罗拉还提供了表盘和表带的颜色和几个变化的设计颜色。黑色，银色，香槟色，灰色和金属、皮革等混合和匹配的物理设计选择给你相当多的选择。我自己选择了黑色的表盘和黑色的金属表带（我喜欢不用担心沾水会弄湿皮革带的感觉），但其实其他颜色看起来也很酷。
我也越来越喜欢晚上放在床头柜上充电了。它非常小而且光线微弱，所以即使在黑暗中使用，它也不会伤害我的眼睛，可以解决以前在房间里的很多烦恼。它也会告诉你充电百分比，这很好，而且快充真的很快。我现在也喜欢无线充电，现在那些微型USB端口之类的，我觉得离了它也可以很好的使用设备。
看了很多其他评论，电池寿命并不像我所担心的那样受限制。我的第一天使用它，是从上午7点半到晚上8点，我的手表电池剩下60％的电量，而且中间没有充过电。虽然是在合理分配使用时间的前提下，例如每隔半小时检查一次，并且全天检查一些通知。当然你肯定需要计划每晚充电，但我怀疑我可能会永远需要在中午就充电，以避免电池电量过早的耗完。但是，这是关闭了环境模式的情况下。我尝试了一天的环境模式（这使得整天的手表显示亮度都很低），而且在使用完一天后我还剩下20％的电量。所以我觉得环境模式还是有问题的，这取决于你的使用时间有多长，以及你使用了手表多少次。我不希望电池寿命成为问题，所以我第二天就关闭了环境模式。但使得电池寿命更长，很容易允许使用环境模式将是下一代Moto 360迭代中需要注意的一个很大的问题。
初始设置非常简单。你只需要通过蓝牙将它连接到手机，安装一些固件更新（这需要几分钟），这是非常重要的。需要与我的手机进行持续的蓝牙连接对我来说有点不太适应。除了播放音乐来保持手机的电池续航时间外，我通常会关闭蓝牙功能。所以，现在我需要24/7，我意识到我的手机电池寿命在被消耗，但并没有在一直衰弱下去。我还必须记住保持我的手机和手表的距离保持在30英尺左右，以保持我的手表可以很好的运作。
我确实需要调整一下它的初始尺寸（即使手腕尺寸低于平均值），调整昂贵的手表总是让我焦虑。但是，我只需要用十分钟的时间，就可以用亚马逊的五美元手表调整器来解决问题。
那么为什么四星评级？唯一让我感到困扰的是所谓的“扁平轮胎”设计，指的是表盘底部的黑色条纹。它使得其他良好的定制表盘设计变得逊色，如果你有任何强迫症倾向的话，通常很难看清楚。我相信他们会在下一个版本中找到一个解决这个设计问题的方法，那么这个方法真的很完美。但是，我确实找到了一种方法，使我几乎忘记了这个问题，只使用自定义的面孔，使自己很好的黑底。我目前的“星球大战”的脸大多是黑色的，所以我几乎没有注意到黑色的条纹了。还有其他巧妙的设计，将黑色条带作为风景，地平线，城市景观等等，甚至可以看作是故意的。
所以我的底线是，如果你能以相当好的折扣获得它，并且看看轮胎的瘪胎设计，这是一个非常值得选择的手表，我已经真正变得喜欢了。不过，据我所知，现在有一个版本2，所以如果你可以等待（并愿意支付更多），最好还是坚持一下。
*概要*
优点：
[+]圆盘表面，绝对是我的必需品
[+]可定制的表盘很有趣，让每个人都有机会为他们找到完美的主题
[+]大量可选择的表盘和表带的颜色以及金属和皮革
[+]防水，所以我不需要强调不能沾水
[+]振动是安静且微弱的，但是很有用
[+]即时通知，我不会错过，不像我的手机
一样
[+]电池续航能力很强，让我在白天可以轻松应付环境模式
[+]包含无线充电器特别棒，充电非常快
[+]喜欢夜间无线充电，手表变成小而微弱的床头钟
[+]金属表带看起来不错，并不难调整
[+]释放金属带上的夹子可以使手表保持非常好的固定状态，便于释放和取下来
[+]虽然有人说表盘太大，我认为它的大小是完美的。我了解到下一个可能会小一点，这是令我失望的。我真的希望他们能保持一个比较大的表盘。
缺点：
[ - ]显然，比其他几乎所有其他手表更昂贵
[ - ]底部的黑色条纹（“扁平轮胎”）使得许多其他很好的表面设计
变得逊色
[ - ]提高电池寿命仍然是需要的，可以使环境模式更可行
