still a great deal though
Announcement is due end of May, release date is anyone's guess.
As for the normal price, it seems to be £159.99 with codes from Motorola. The US has just dropped it from $199 to $165.
Instore only and by the terms it seems you need a two year phone plan too.

Lol that makes me feel a bit better about shelling out £140.
anyone know if the black scratches easily?
just deciding if should for for the Silver one instead of the black
This is a total non-issue. As with most watches (not just smart watches) you aren't going to wear it to bed, so you take it off. You drop it into the cradle which contactlessly charges it and turns it into a nice bedside clock.
They have announced a global price drop so this is the new RRP minus the discount code
Comment
Not quite. My Fitbit stays on overnight as it measures sleep, and it improves the resting heart rate measurement. A watch that needs overnight charging can't do that.
Smart watches don't make sense to me personally but a pack of sensors on the wrist that links to a smartphone does make sense. Each to their own of course
This 360 is a really nice looking watch though.
They are more useful than you may think, certainly my Moto 360 surprised me and integrated into my gadget ecosystem very nicely.
That said, the bespoke charger that I had to keep with me if I travelled anywhere overnight (which I used to do quite frequently) was yet another item to remember to keep with me which was a pain. That bored me so fairly rapidly I stopped using it. Very smart though and excellent value at this price, if it is what you want.
You should get something like this, it has a battery so it can emergency charge your phone, or wireless charge your watch. I bring it with me when I go away.

It charges on a standard Qi wireless charger. You can get fairly small puck shaped Qi chargers for a few quid, use one of those as your travel/backup kit?
Would expect the price to drop to around sub £120 following the release of the new generation.
The Pebble Time is on the way, I'm holding out for that.
But then I'll want the new one, not this, but you'll say wait for the price drop when the 3rd is announced and so on.
As with all technology, hang on long enough and it becomes bargain bin territory.
Only reason I'm saying wait a bit is because the new launch is imminent. And for those that only want this version (because of the price), then waiting a few weeks could save you some bucks.
Just my opinion.
But the pebble time looks a bit like this:
I've had mine since November and have accidentally knocked it a few times. Not a single scratch in the black, still looks as good as when I bought it
At the moment yes it does require an android device. There are rumours of this changing soon though. i am in the same boat, I cant stand the look of the Apple Watch and would much prefer an android wear device.
Thanks, I must admit that I haven't looked into QI chargers for ages, last I saw they were £30+ but I'll bet they've come right down now since. The watch sat on my kitchen table for three months before I sold it (for not much less than this price!) last week and over that time I hadn't noticed any loss during my daily routines so clearly didn't need it. You are right though, that would have solved a major pain point for me.
I would go for this but again need to see ver 2 before.
I have a Moto 360 and its been off charge since 5:30 this morning and has 53% battery left. I think a lot of people still refer to the horrific battery it had prior to the update that nearly doubled it. I'm a heavy user and easily get a full day's use out of it and simply put it on charge with my phone each night (full day being from 5:30 till around 11pm).
As for the "flat tyre" screen it seems to split oppinion, i really dont mind it but some people hate it. heres an image of it with the watchface i use (not my pic): i.imgur.com/cGx…jpg
But the main reason I stopped using my pebble for this is its integration with Google Now. In addition to normal notifications the watch gives me really important information that google now picks up and displays on my watch when i might need it. I travel quite a bit so when im checking into a premier inn ill get my booking ref displayed, and i also get flight departure times and gate information when im in an airport. Things like that make android wear more useful than most other watches.
