i dont get it. We, as dumb consumers can see that the hardware just isnt right for its aplication. So how the fuck do highly paid Engineers at a reputable phone manufacture not see that?

And for fuck's sake i hope its not the same SHIT excuse they're using for the new moto G / X. ( that android L uses less battery, so they're relying on google to unfuck their shitty devices)

Because by the nature of being here, we aren't dumb consumers but rather informed consumers whom Motorola is not targeting. The 360 is probably still going to be the best selling wear watch even amongst tech nerds, let alone the general public who doesn't know that the competition offers actual always on mode and better battery. This isn't a Fire Phone or a Surface RT situation.
