I haven't seen anything on battery life actually. You have some estimates?

The Ars review talks about the poor battery life: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/09/moto-360-review-beaut...

Verge too:

OTOH, gizmodo says the battery life isn't quite that bad:

... but every other review I've read (about 6 including these) has really hammered it on the battery being dead well before the day is over.

I'm sure there is some YMMV depending upon usage and a moto 360 might last me a full day personally (since I'm not a reviewer and wouldn't be doing... reviewer things with it all day), but I'm not willing to slap down $250 to find out when even the positive reviews say it has the weakest battery life of all the current crop of watches. I can wait until revision 2 hits to be sure that I only have to take the thing off once per day.
