The LG watch looks more like an iPhone strapped to your wrist than a watch.

I was kind of excited after viewing the Motorola page, but after the videos, I'm disappointed. I don't want to speak to my watch, and I don't care about having yet another app for weather, calendar, etc. The videos just reminded me that I don't care about any of this information, or having it available on my wrist. I'll stick to a traditional watch, I think they're more stylish, and the time is really the only piece of information I need immediate access to on a constant basis. Everything else can be in pocket.

> I don't want to speak to my watch

Doesn't everyone want to look like a TV show FBI agent?

The only person I recall talking to their watch (and I'm probably showing my age here) is David Hasselhoff as The Knight Rider[1]

Contemporary TV show protagonists have had bluetooth earpieces for years now and (nearly) no-one wants to look like that either.
