Reasonably priced 1st gen Android wear imho. Key Features: Wifi 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 4.0, heart rate monitor and has been updated to the current android 6.0 system. Processor seems to be a bit ancient and battery life seems to be average.

The silver chrome with stainless steel one is also the same price which seems to be the best valued option. Not sure how long this will go for.

Shipping to Melbourne is around USD $23. For me it is around AUD $144 delivered using paypal exchange rate.

    Good find, great deal for a good watch. It's not the latest but still one of the better choices.

    The only two issues I had with mine before I switched to a Huawei was the 'flat tyre' screen and the wireless charging generated alot of heat.

    • PVA on 12/05/2016 - 08:55

      Do they look a bit funny being so thick and the band being on the bottom (making it look even thicker) or is it not too bad?

      • sed8ed on 12/05/2016 - 19:33
        +2

        Still the best looking watch imo… It's not even really thick, compared to my Tag Heuer it's much of a muchness.. I have the 18mm SS band though so I think that evens it out.

        I love mine… Have loaded about 3 hours of music onto it and wear it every day to gym with BT headphones.

        It charges quite fast… So all the hoo har about battery life is pretty much moot given you drop it on the wireless charger for a top up and go again.. It lasts about 2 days with average use though and screen set to dim/off unless activated. I don't wear mine to bed either!

        It's not super fast… But does the job well, and still looks better than the gen 2.. Except for maybe the sport 360.

        I still don't get the whinge about the flat tyre… I've owned mine for some time and can't remember noticing it.

        The design is spot on… The new one has band clasps, which work well for using a non genuine band, but totally detract from the minimalist look the gen 1 has. Just my opinion.

        This is a great price… I still get asked a few times a week what watch is that?

        • PVA on 12/05/2016 - 19:36

          Thanks for the honest opinion.

    • magic8ballgag on 12/05/2016 - 08:55

      How is the flat tyre an issue with the watch? I'd say it's more of a personal preference.

      • safwanc on 12/05/2016 - 09:18

        Not really an issue. I stopped noticing it within a few days of using it. I also didn't have any charging heat issues with mine

          @tranqme: who are you to decide if he finds it an issue for him or not. Calm down.

      • wallet72 on 12/05/2016 - 12:55

        I found a few apps and themes that got clipped by the flat tyre. Not a major issue, just one of the only issues I had.
        I know the technical reason Motorola have that strip, but none of the other makers have it and still have the same sensors.

        • iridiumstem on 12/05/2016 - 17:28

          It's because Motorola still uses LCD, I think. I do know that Gear S2 and Apple Watch has the ambient light sensor right underneath the display (and I think the reason they can do that is because they use AMOLED, thinner display and all).

    • JLCC on 12/05/2016 - 10:43

      I've found heating issues only happen with 3rd party chargers. The charging dock that comes with it generates no heat in the watch or the dock when doing a 0-100% charge.

      • wallet72 on 12/05/2016 - 12:58

        That's not true.

        I had three of these watches over a 6 week period. Each time I complained about the heat I was told by Motorola that 'some heat' was to be expected. Unfortunately in my case - and a quick search of Google will tell you it's a bit too common - each one I had overheated and burned itself out. I think it may have been because when I got a replacement it came from the same batch, and maybe the batch had issues.

        I don't want anyone to think I'm bagging the watch, I had bad luck that's all - the watch is great.

        • JLCC on 12/05/2016 - 13:34
          +1

          Fair enough, maybe I just got lucky with my one? It gets quite warm when I use a cheap knock off QI charger which for some reason will only charge 20% at a time and then stop. I assume it's stopping the charge due to the heat? The official dock it came with doesn't do that though and will charge happily and not get any warmer than room temp.

          Hopefully you get a better unit if you decide to buy one more. Would understand if you didnt though given 3 units in and they all had issue!

        • bagger on 12/05/2016 - 21:39

          @JLCC: Same, I have no heat problems charging with the supplied dock. However, it gets real hot with a 3rd party QI charger.

      • bleemo on 13/05/2016 - 10:18

        Mine heats up occasionally too even when at 100% charge. Hopefully not doing anything too detrimental…

  • cancerian on 12/05/2016 - 09:03

    Since it is refurbished stock, what's the warranty on these products?

  • safwanc on 12/05/2016 - 09:17

    Just a warning that the glass back on the gen 1 models have a tendency to crack.

    My watch back cracked last week and I have been wearing the watch very carefully and loosely in order to avoid this (i was aware of the issues but I bought it anyway because I loved the look).

    Just Google this issue before you buy it too so you are aware. This is not an issue that is unlikely, but is one that most users will face

        That one also says “This device is 100% function with little to no signs of wear.”

        and "The item may be missing the original packaging,"

        Either listing, you are getting a used item. I'd be concerned about the battery. They only last one day when new.
        Nice watch otherwise.

      If you check your local OW, they might have it for $200 for a brand new Moto 360

  • systmworks on 12/05/2016 - 09:36

    I saw the leather band model (Gen1, which I own) at OfficeWorks for $199 which is pretty good for local stock (RRP was ~$330 when I bought mine).

    Still, this is a good deal. Its a great watch. And like almost all Moto360 owners, the flat tyre has never bothered me in the least (you really dont notice it).

    • klaw81 on 12/05/2016 - 10:14

      I just got the leather model, and upgraded to a stainless strap for $20. Looks great.

      Totally agree that the flat tire isn't an issue - never notice it.

      • wxwsf on 12/05/2016 - 21:46

        i bought my from officeworks for 199, but returned stainless one and got the leather band to instead, much lighter

        local stock with one year warranty, the staff told me they only replace the watch if I send it for warranty, but not repair.

        You can get extra 2 years replacement warranty from officeworks at $24 on top

      • GLO on 13/05/2016 - 00:14

        Which metal strap did you buy?

        I bought one from AliExpress but I cant get the pins to click in? Possibly the head of the band it .5mm too thick?

        • klaw81 on 13/05/2016 - 06:45

          I got a Pebbble Steel strap from eBay, along with the metal tool thingy - it was a bit tricky to get the pins to fit, but with a bit of patience I got there.

  • pobox178 on 12/05/2016 - 10:00

      It can be linked to the Android Wear iOS app with the later updates but the issue is they likely won't come with that version out of the box. You will probably need an Android phone to do a few updates before it'll pair with the iPhone.

  • mikmac on 12/05/2016 - 10:02

    $239 @ Mobileciti for new stainless model too if your OW store is out of stock. I managed to get HN to pricematch OW. Their normal price is $249 for leather.
    Note, battery life is pretty ordinary!

    • klaw81 on 12/05/2016 - 10:10

      What do you call "ordinary"? Mine goes from 6am every day and is rarely below 50% when I drop it on the charger at 10-11pm. And it recharges quite quickly - if you come home for a shower before going out for the night, it's generally back to 80% after 25 minutes.

      • mikmac on 12/05/2016 - 10:20

        My day starts @ 3am and usually by home time @ 3pm, its on about 20-25%. I agree it charges quick but I might try the Gen 2 which has a 400mah vs the 320mah on Gen 1. Gr8 watch though overall!

    • bleemo on 13/05/2016 - 10:29

      Mine lasts the day. On at 8:00AM. Usually take it off and leave it on my side table at about 6:00PM. Put it on the charger when I go to sleep around 11:00PM and it usually has more than 10% left

  • JLCC on 12/05/2016 - 10:47

    I bought one of these as an "upgrade" from the LG G watch. At first battery didn't last nearly as long (not even a full working 8 hour day with normal use) and the performance was extremely lagging in comparison.

    However after the last couple of updates onto MarshMallow, ambient display is now actually ambient! This is while also maintaining VERY good battery life. It's now comparable to my old LG G watch and will get through 24 hours (100% - 10%ish at end of the 24hour cycle). Performance has also taken a massive leap. Still not as snappy as other Gen1 or Gen2 watches but way better than it was when this was first release. Not a bad purchase at this price. Looks heaps better than a number of other models out there too, especially if you get a metal band to go with it.

    • GunnerMcDagget on 12/05/2016 - 11:24

      Been thinking of upgrading from the LG G Watch to this. After updates on the G Watch I now get 2 days easy but that I need it 'cause I charge each night so if this lasts a day it should be good. Is the band easily replaceable like the G Watch?

      • JLCC on 12/05/2016 - 12:12
        +1

        I'd say it's just a tad trickier because the pin is housed slightly within the case housing on the Moto. But not too tricky that you'll need a specialised set of tools or anything. Just takes a little bit of patience to make sure you don't crack the plastic backing of the Moto. Took me about 10 minutes to change the Moto to a metal band (inlcuding adjusting the size). The LG G watch took maybe a few minutes less.

        Also note you'll need a specific Moto360 Gen1 metal band (can be found on ebay for $10-12ish) as the end bits that attach to the watch via pins need to have grooves in them.

        • klaw81 on 13/05/2016 - 06:44

          It's surprisingly good. For some reason I expected it to be terrible, or at least misunderstand part of my instructions, but the only difference is the speed at which it figures out what you said - the watch takes a bit a longer to complete your command.

          Yesterday, I did a command that was something like "Make a new appointment for the doctor on Campbell Street at 2pm on Monday" and it did exactly that. That said, my Nexus phone's voice recognition is also flawless, so it's nothing like the experience you described.

          Honestly though, it is only a temporary solution until i can find something better… i heard the pebble stainless steel band works too but I'm trying to find a way to modify the original band so the piece collecting the watch and the band stays intact. That's supposedly where the third party bands suck.

          Also, changing the clasp might make it better considering the butterfly clasp is shit.

    Picked mine up this morning, Looks pretty good, I can't tell it's "used". Feels a bit heavy but I haven't worn a watch in years. Band is a perfect fit for me, lucky me I have small wrist. I was thinking of trying some other bands later.

    Packaging was crap. The box was well-protected but the watch itself was just rattling around loose in the box.

    Been wearing mine (stainless steel band) for 2 days now and just broke one of the plastic clips where the band joins the watch. The band now slides sideways freely 2-3mm and I've just been reading about how I can now expect to crack the plastic back.

      For anyone else who breaks their plastic spacers like I have, here's a reference to a possible help channel:

      The latest post (#215) indicates that they are willing to help out Australians in my situation.

        Was advised that I have to pay for postage $16.95… did anyone get asked this?

        • he3at on 31/05/2016 - 10:30

          I didn't even get a reply. How many can you get? Maybe we could organise a group buy?

        • ProjectZero on 31/05/2016 - 10:39

          @he3at: I asked for two… not too sure how many they are going to send tho… I've replied to their email so I'll update to see if i can get more when I get their reply.
