The interface design must have required a brilliant piece of imagination. It is bright, touch sensitive and high quality. When you turn your wrist to look at the watch, it will brighten up if it was dim before. This engineering feat is quite inspiring. Most of the round screen is lit with a notification section at the bottom which would remain dark if you don’t have any notifications to show. When there are notifications everything looks great but once there are no notifications to display the small dark zone can be contrasting. It is a teeny tiny flaw but most likely Motorola will look into it as they are perfectionists.
