When they teased the G Watch R, I sort of said: hold up.
I was dead set on the Moto 360 (unless it looks awful on my wrist) until I saw that tease. Even for the G Watch R, the fashionable nature involves my personal wrist. The right watch for one person can be the wrong watch for another. That said, it also takes a slightly different approach to the face design, a little more sporty or marine-esque (Mariner, Submariner).
I'm curious if the edge markings dim when the full Android Wear display is active, as opposed to the watch face display/app. That might seem annoying if they remain fully visible yet you are looking at Google Now cards.
That said, the typical bezel design they went with makes it very easy to hide the display electronics that Motorola could not hide on the Moto 360. That black bar doesn't bother me that much; I'd just as surely rather it not be present, but I can accept it.
I think, as far as watch designs go, I still prefer the 360's simplicity over the somewhat traditional design LG went with for the G Watch R. It's not traditional in the sense of oldest, but that's a popular face/bezel design. It was never a face design that I have ever strongly sought out. I prefer not to have that kind of a bezel insert, though I do prefer the more traditional lug design. That's one aspect of the 360's look I kind of miss - it's a larger circle without a visible lug/shoulder, so it's a little more jarring as one large circle.
The circle motif is common but usually it's softened a bit with the shoulder and lug that helps taper the design into the band.
