This website claims that they are able to get it by end of September, can this website be trusted? also at RM1100, wouldn't it be too expensive?

If not mistaken they able to place order, as their reply from FB. It's reliable, I bought from them before, and yes their price wasnt low anytime, but they often had difficult to get product ( like Google Glass, Google play edition device etc )

Moto 360 could be worst, luckily Motorola put design/looks as priority.

Prototype, squarish plastic.

Or thick bezel. I'm glad Motorola move the hardware to tiny black bar below display, instead of thick bezel.

Wonder why too, one reason I can think of is cutting cost. Old processor require more space too which should be filled with more battery.

probably google (who owns motorola) bought too much TI omap soc.
because google glass uses TI omap too.
it is a good chance to clear them.
(it is just my guess)

another reason is from engineering perspective.
most of the motorola devices use TI omap.
so they are already very familiar with the architecture
and can save alot of time on the development

Read a few more reviews on Moto 360. It seems Moto 360 does in fact not having good battery life, but few reliable review site ( phone arena, Gizmodo ) does stressed out that it wasnt as bad as you heard. It could last one full day with Ambient mode OFF, or close to one day with ambient mode ON.
According to them, Moto 360 had brightest display of all Android Wear currently, and thus with ambient mode ON, if your outdoor etc display will pump up to brightest and thus affect battery life. Also worth mentioned is that it had heart rate monitor on all the time.
PhoneArena did mentioned about performance that while it's not laggy, it's definitely behind G watch/Gear live.

Above are my conclusion after reading some of these review. I think I'm not happy with Motorola for having this old processor and small battery, because given their effort on phone for optimization and good battery life, if we had S400 and 400mAh in Moto 360 ( as per G watch ) then Moto 360 should be good for even 2 days.

That been said, it's still the best looking Android Wear ( or smartwatch after seeing Apple's dull design ), that's my only choice now.

Yes totally agree.
It is the best looking andorid smartwatch out there.
But the choice of picking TI omap 3 really sucks.

According to iFixit: "This is the same processor found in the Motorola Droid 2, and the MOTOACTV, Motorola's first smartwatch—2010 and 2011 tech."
So they probably want to save the engineering cost.

Also, in some moto360, the battery is only 300mah not 320mah.
