I bought the LG G Watch when it was on sale for $80 with a free $50 Google Play gift card. I was worth that price, but, WearOS 2 declared watches without buttons dead, only a few months after I bought my first smartwatch. Google has an enormous history of killing off products, and while I know Android will have a solution to wearables, I don't see Google supporting WearOS permanently.
I miss the no bezel screen, despite the flat tire. Unfortunately I burned through three of these in a short amount of time from the cheap plastic back, and the battery was absolutely terrible.
Yeah that whole "flat tire" thing was so blown out of proportion. It looks better than any of the current watches with their huge bezels. I swear someone paid off reviewers to pan Motorola's products. The moto X got a bunch of unfair BS too.

Pebble Time Steel should have been the "standard". Maybe I'm the wrong audience but the Moto 360 is a big miss for me. A smart watch for me needs to have:

Had one of these.
Sadly misplaced it after about 3 years of use.
Mine sadly stopped working altogether well before that :(.
I think mine made it about 2 years before the back plate started cracking. Then the screen gave out

The Moto 360 just looks amazing. How come no smart watches are like that today?
The fossil watches were spiritual successors to the Moto 360 series, IMO.
The pixel watch is a cut above all of them now though IMO, despite looking less like a traditional watch at a glance
Because everyone complained about the flat tire.
9 years and smartwatch are still pretty pedestrian.
From buggy software, to shitty battery life, to too expensive.

i accessed it with a very dodgy vpn (ivacy, which is blocked by a ton of websites for abuse) +privacy badger and it did not block me
Thanks for the info. I'm a bit on the classic side, on mobile, with adguard DNS, proton VPN and Firefox Focus.
Use Firefox with ublock origin instead of Firefox focus. It should not be blocked.

I don't care too much about "premium materials" once some basic durability is satisfied. I don't have an opinion about round vs square.
The clock seems off by about 85 years, I bet the Czechs must be worried
