Smart
watches are the current technical trend and a fashion statement. The
tool to organize you, keep you updated, apart from being an extension to
a smartphone it is also convenient and saves you a lot of battery
power. Although the first speculation about these devices were crude,
like the limited interface it provides for carrying out the
functionality and limited battery power, they proved out be quite
otherwise. Currently the smart watches have taken the gadget- market by a
storm completely revolutionizing extension gadgets. Many major
companies have come up with their own models and prototypes with the
latest being the Apple Inc.’s iWatch. In such a scenario no one could
have expected Motorola to stay behind in this venture and not be called a
company who had nothing to offer. In answer to this, Motorola presents
the MOTO 360.
After
the much highlighted split of Motorola company in the year 2011, many
tech- experts had assumed that it might need some time to stabilize
before walking into the arena. But undoubtedly Motorola has made
everyone wonder as to not expect so little of it with the release of its
latest MOTO X and MOTO 360. The Moto 360 is an Android
Wear-based smartwatch announced by Motorola in 2014. It was announced on
March 18, 2014 and was released on September 5, 2014 in the United
States along with new models of Moto X and Moto G. The Moto 360 is the
first smart watch launch to draw a significant crowd. Within just a few
hours, the wearable device had already sold out on Motorola’s website,
forcing anyone who wasn’t quick on the draw to wait for it to become
available at third-party retailers. In contrast to the iWatch which was
greatly shadowed by the release of the much awaited iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus. Most of the conventional smart watches came out with replaceable
colorful straps to go with the dress you wear, while MOTO 360 has taken a
different route with stainless steel body and straps.
The
Moto 360 holds the distinction of being the first circular Android Wear
timepiece and is available in the US starting September 5 for $250. It
will be available from early October in the UK for £199 and will come to
other parts of the world, including Australia, later this year with
local pricing as yet to be determined. It has a look that definitely
feels premium: everything about the Moto 360 looks clean and well-made:
polished steel, a thin watchband that tucks underneath, and a beautiful
set of specially-designed software watch faces. The Moto 360 has a few
hardware features that could set it apart besides design: it has
inductive charging, which works without any dongle. Yes, you still need
the included charging dock to drop the watch into, which still saddles
you with an accessory. Still, it’s a lot nicer than most clip-on
charging accessories. There’s also an optical heart rate monitor on the
watch’s backside. The Moto 360 leans heavily on voice commands, like all
Android Wear watches, but Motorola promises an extra dash of natural
language processing and noise-cancelling microphone excellence on the
Moto 360.
