There is also Tommy Hilfiger version that is a 100 less but isnt as dressy. Also, lord and taylor sometimes has 30% off sales, which is what happened to me but frankly I would have paid the full price.

First impressions: Very Cool

Definitely more advanced than the moto360 I've been using until now. Samsung pay is very cool. Cashier was waiting for me to swipe cc and didn't even realize it went through already :D I have to play around a little more to learn how to use it properly. I did order a metal band because I hate the leather one it comes with.

I'm a total noob in this area, but I just decided I want to buy a smartwatch. Have an android phone, looking for under $150, round face, leather band, and needs to look nice. What are my best options? TIA

Thanks. Yeah, I saw that this morning, which is what made me start thinking about this again, but the brief research I did indicated that the quality isn't that great. Also that it's pretty thick. Anyone here knowledgeable in this area and can speak to the relative quality or lack thereof?

The LG Watch Sport is reported to be one of the best choices.
