But not showy about it — the last thing I want is strangers on the tube peering over my shoulder every time I give my wristwatch a glance

Round or otherwise
For the time being

Too big
Uncomfortable to wear
Buggy
But look they will
Once you start talking at the thing. Despite what decades of sci-fi movies or Dick Tracy comics may have told you

Wear isn't done

No speakers
No SIM card support

Average battery life
Some software flaws with Android Wear

Slim timepieces
More expensive than the competition
Big
Chunky
Potentially polarizing design
Dubious step and altitude data
Software experience still needs refinement

Expensive. Still bulky. Battery still isn't great. Android Wear still underwhelms

Expensive

Software constantly feels incomplete
Incompatible with iPhone or other platforms
Circular face clashes with square Google Now cards
Battery life better than the Moto 360
But still inadequate
Almost twice as heavy as the Moto 360. Leather wristband feels like a cardboard strap. Smaller screen makes reading messages more difficult
The leather strap is hard to break in and feels a bit cheap
