I have ordered one from John Lewis! and cancelled all the other orders! All eggs in one basket, me.
Getting it delivered on Friday, as picking it up tomorrow afternoon could have been a little comical, due to my root canal in the morning...

Main reason was due to the John Lewis return policy and the reports of dead pixels on delivery on a lot of watches. At least this way I have a local shop I can take it to, if it needs to go back.

:D

Motorola say that it could be with me by Friday, but at the latest Tuesday next week. They can't do anything now it is in transit, apart from when it arrives they will send me a freepost jiffy bag to send it back in.
Little bit annoying to be told that it was cancelled this morning on the phone though, as then I went and ordered from John Lewis :)

I've now cancelled the John Lewis one and will keep the Motorola one...

I did, but it's not the end of the world. The motorola returns process seems pretty good after talking to them on the phone.

Post subject:  Re: Wearable Tech

It was meant to arrive yesterday, while I was in the office. Got a text from DPD at 6pm saying it would be delivered tomorrow. Rang JL, said I need it sending to the billing address (I'm at home today), woman said this was all cool.
It was delivered to London at 9:43 this morning.

Obviously.

It left Memphis at 4:26am apparently. Although I have no idea what timezone they are reporting that in, could be local, could be China as that is where it started out.

Post subject:  Re: Wearable Tech

I was, until Motorola told me they had lied to me, and they didn't actually cancel my order, and shipped it anyway.
I cancelled the John Lewis one after that.

Author:  Trooper [ Fri Oct 31, 2014 14:18 ]
Post subject:  Re: Wearable Tech

John Lewis seem to be claiming that their 2 year electricals warranty doesn't apply to the Moto360. That could make for some interesting conversations in the future, I imagine.

Works with everything, the only thing you need a windows phone for is the voice commands I think.
