Moto 360 smartwatch: Everything you need to know

Google recently released Android Wear Smartwatch OS, officially entered the field of smart watches. Meanwhile, Motorola ( Moto 360 smartwach ) and LG also will be released the first batch of the platform smart watches, received high attention. In contrast, I believe that most users may prefer the Motorola Moto 360 smart watches. From the design point of view, it is closer to ordinary watches, fine round metal dial is very attractive, and the early years of ten thousand yuan phone Aura is similar, of course, the difference is Moto 360 loaded with the latest high technology. But Motorola did not disclose much more information about the Moto 360, so here we will be known summary information presented to you.


Moto 360 smartwatch



Waterproof and metal body interchangeable strap



See Moto 360 smart watches designs, we suspect that Motorola hired a fashion designer. Yes, the fine grinding of metal sheet body may not have the IWC or Vacheron Constantin that luxury, but revealing a glamorous and temperament, and attractive. In contrast plastic table itself Pebble or weird Galaxy Gear are somewhat imposing a no. In addition, Moto 360 also support waterproof function, although no specific parameters, it is believed that water splash is not in question.

In addition, the strap also support the replacement of the current two materials with metal and leather options, but it seems that Motorola gave up more free strap customized services.

Round 1.8-inch sapphire screen 

Personally, I prefer the round dial, smart phones currently on the market so I can not accept it. The Moto 360 will use a 1.8-inch round screen, promotional materials from the current point of view display is also very good, of course, the actual effect has yet to be verified. Motorola said the round table itself is to attract the sexes users get more potential customers.

In the demo video we also found that, Moto 360 can be worn on the left or right hand, I believe that the system will have automatic screen rotation mechanism to determine the user's location to wear, so whether it is left-handed are no obstacles.

The screen is reportedly an OLED but even the rumors are mum on size and resolution. The smartwatch is said to feature a sapphire glass protection, which is usually reserved for high-priced watches.



Android 4.3 or above

As for compatibility, iOS users may be disappointed, Moto 360 can only support Android 4.3 and above versions of smart devices. Of course, this is very reasonable, after all, is Google Android Wear entire mobile eco-system is an important one, there is no reason to benefit competitors. In addition, because Android Wear need to monitor environmental work in the notification under the API, but it only supports Android 4.3 and above, so the future can not be backward compatible with smart watches the platform, Android 4.2 and below, the user should pay attention to.

No built-in camera

And Samsung's different, Moto 360 pursuit of a simple and convenient experience, but for most people apparently do not need to take pictures with the watch, so it's no built-in camera.

Wireless Charging

Related to the Moto 360 industry insiders confirmed the use of wireless charging form, so the table did not have micro USB port, it should be considered in a simple design. But for users, wireless charging increased carrying costs, obviously you can not carry a data line for mobile phones, watches charge. As for battery life, the Motorola Moto claimed 360 forms of work is "a priority of battery life," so we want it to be able to use at least three days.

Always show time

Moto 360 is a feature of it like an ordinary watch, will always display the time, and not need to press the button until the screen lights up. We have also explored the issue is now generally smart watches, that is not enough, "watch." Obviously, Motorola took into account this point. I believe it will be through a more energy efficient form to always show time.

Expected Q2 or Q3 listing

According to Motorola's official blog news, Moto 360 will be available in the U.S. and some countries and regions in the summer of 2014. Considering the Google I / O developer conference will be opened on June 25 this year, this time is not surprising.

However, there is news that Motorola is facing production problems, mainly due to the Moto 360 due to non-traditional design, such as a circular dial, etc., perhaps the first supply will be very tight.

How much?

Moto 360 temporary price unknown, and we are waiting for more detailed information outflow. From a market perspective, if more than 300 U.S. dollars, the market acceptance may not be too good, after all, just a smart watch phone accessories, rather than a necessity.
