Moto 360 demonstrates that smartwatches can be as stylish as its android software is practical, making it the first Android Wear watch worth strapping to your wrist. Its circular watch face is similar to the trendy designer watches with analog tickers, not square-shaped smartwatches. The really computerized-looking Pebble Steel, Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch are no match for what Motorola had up its sleeve.
Outer Moto 360 build quality is awesome as well as stainless steel case and a leather wristband make it perfect for any occasion. It’s enough to make it one of the best smartwatch available in the market.
The specs, however, have some cons as well. Poor battery life and an underperforming processor don’t justify the good looks of Moto 360. The watch’s charm is shortened by its absence of durability. However Motorola have pioneered in the list of round smartwatch as Apple also going to launch its iWatch in coming months.
Release date and Price
Moto 360 launched in the US on September 5, and it’s also available at selected UK shops while on pre-order at others. It would also be available at O2, Clove, Amazon, John Lewis and Tesco in late October. In Australia, it’s still on track for the 4th quarter.
The Moto 360 price in the US and UK is on par with its all-metal body and leather strap. It costs a reasonable $250 (£200, most likely AU$ 275). It’s $100 less expensive against the entry-level Apple iWatch.
That’s only a bit more costly than the limited Android Wear smartwatch variety from Samsung and LG, none of which can compare to Motorola’s trendy design. Moto 360 could be more affordable than rival round smartwatch competitor LG G Watch R too, so it’s reasonably priced.
Display
There are few sharp-edged drawbacks to the Moto 360, and none of them can be found on its round, 1.56-inch LCD display. In fact, Motorola’s round screen is so appealing that it justifies “smartwatches look like a miniaturized mobile phone worn on your wrist” argument when Google initially revealed Android Wear in March.
It tells the time even when its backlit LCD kicks into a power-saving dimmed display mode. It shares this function with the Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch.
Moto 360 has also light sensing unit that instantly adjusts the LCD brightness and have an edge on all other smartwatches. It’s very important when you need a bright screen in more light or sunny conditions or want to reduce battery life consumption in dark environments without having to manually adjust the setting. Going outside and walking with a small touchscreen you cannot even see outside is a wearables world problem that Moto 360 solves. Continue Reading >>>>>
