Motorola gets in the game.  Nice digital picture of dated mechanical parts 

Just an FYI- I have had this, the Moto 360, for a few weeks now.  It is pretty slick...

Can you talk into it like Dick Tracy?

I jumped on-board with the Ritot Watch campaign, and purchased them as family gifts. Since my family is aging,
all wear reading glasses, I thought this would be a great and unique gift, hopefully a welcomed one.. If not,
I'm out of some serious coin.. Oh, and I entered the campaign early, so I didn't pay the prices that are now listed. Whew!

And on my bike it will perform infinite functions such as.......   oh nevermind

It has been more useful than I thought, although I am not used to wearing a watch, which has been a challenge.
