I grabbed this little beast yesterday.
It's been less than a day of using it, but I must say I'm impressed. App development is in its infancy for the product, however the scope for improvement over the next few months looks to be significant. In terms of working in tandem with your phone, applications work remarkably well and are useful.
One of the major reasons I bought the watch was due to its many ways of being able to tell the time. There are a range of clock faces to select from, ranging from chronographs, to simple and elegant, to a large digital face for a sportier look. You can customise colour, add other applications, such as weather, activity logs, a stopwatch, the date and the moon phase, and make the clock face more or less complicated (in terms of dials) as you see fit. Of course there is room for improvment, however the beauty of technology is that it can be updated.
I got the 42mm Watch Sport with a black rubber band and matte black body (priced at $579), which I want to double as a sport watch/everyday watch (which means I'll only use my nicer watches when I head out). When comparing it to the offerings from Samsung, Motorola and LG, it is at the pricer end of the market, ranging from the $499 38mm Watch Sport, right up to the $24,000 38mm 18-carat Yellow Gold Watch Edition, with a red leather and Yellow Gold buckle. There is mid-spec line called simply Watch, with prices starting at around the $1000 mark.
I'll give it an initial rating of 8.5/10.
