Smartwatches are going to seriously need the ability to generate power from the motion of wearing them. Or an internal nuclear-decay power source. I really like the 360, but think we may still be a generation early on low-power screens and chips to be able to make a thin watch that will last for 3 to 5 days, which would be ideal.
This kinetic energy idea would really be brilliant I don't know what the conversions would be but I mean my watch that I have now runs only on kinetic energy, granted theres no display but it has to provide some energy no?

See I don't understand this...why do people need 3-5 day battery life? Your phone doesn't last that long...so why would a device that basically DEPENDS on it?
Guys....the battery life I am seeing so far is horrible! I took it out of the box at 18%. It started to update and got so low it told me to charge. Wouldn't do anything until I charged it. I let it get to 35% and started again. After the update and finally getting connected to my phone...it's at 14% again. I tried to use it and it's sooooo laggy. I just rebooted it again to see if there was something going on. It's sitting on charger at 13%.

Can you thanks her for being part of your heavy usage moto360 battery test?Well it's been off charger since midnight, put on my wrist about 745am. Going to run it to dead today and post results. My GF and I are fighting right now, so she's texting the crap out of me, so we'll see.
The verge said that it last only 12Hrs, less if heavy used.
WSJ said it has to be charged twice a day.
Root cause of the bad battery life might be the fact that it uses a discontinued TI processor, the fact that Android Wear is having on resources and that it has only 320mah, for reference thr LG G watch has 400mah.
Suddenly I don't want it anymore. My Gear fit last from 3 to 5 days depending on usage.
I've found that you can't turn off the wrist lift screen on feature. That causes batt drain. The pedometer is on and can't turn off either.
