Why does the watch have that black bar?

Due to limitations of screen technology, Moto had to reserve a small area from the circle as a place to house components for the screen. It results in a small flat spot on the bottom of the circle.

Android wear isn't currently designed to handle round screens it seems. But not sure how the new LG watch handles it.

 

Not quite, the watch's design. Internal display driver components in there. They should have found a way to not have that. Having seen one of these in person, once you see the black bar, it's hard (atleast for me) to not keep noticing that interruption in the circle.

Ambient Sensor majorly. It wouldn't have worked perfectly if placed anywhere else than the screen.

You wont even notice the black bar after the first day of use.

 

Having said that, no watch is worth buying right now. I'd say to wait for next year or 2nd gen watches. Moto One? They gona have massive improvements

 

I think that's subjective. MKBHD might not notice it, but I sure would. For me a watch needs to look classy and have a full complement of letters. A cut-off 6 is not acceptable. I'd take a slightly thicker bezel to that.
