Motorola left the smartwatch market back in 2016. However, its first-gen Moto 360 was one of the most attractive and stylish smartwatches of its time. Moreover, since it was a first-round Android Wear watch, it made a huge impression on the market. It lost its charm after a few months though.
The smartwatch, to our surprise, has been resurrected but not by Motorola. An IoT products company eBuyNow, has stepped in to pick up where Motorola left and has revived the 2nd-gen Moto 360 smartwatch.
Design and Display
Design-wise, the smartwatch borrows almost all of its features from the 2016-launches Moto 360. It is built around a 1.2-inch OLED panel with 360p resolution and always-on functionality.
The new Moto 360 will be available in Steel Grey, Phantom Black, and Rose Gold colors.
Internal and Storage
The smartwatch comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 3100 SoC. The chipset is accompanied by 1 GB RAM and 8 GB onboard storage.
It boasts all the typical smartwatch features like NFC, GPS and a heart rate monitor on top of Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi. The watch also comes with 3ATM water resistance and is compatible with devices running Android 5.0+ and iOS 10+.
Battery and Pricing
This revived version of Mot0 360 is fueled by a 355 mAh battery with fast charging. The watch goes from 0 to 100 percent in 60 minutes.
It will be available for sale by December 2019 and will set users back $350.
The problem isn’t with Motorola or Google or eBuyNow. The problem with Android watches is they have no decent SoC to run on. It does look really nice though
