Moto 360 – Motorola's second-generation smart watch impresses even more than its predecessor

Second generation Moto 360 smartwatch

Two sizes, three designs and tons of personalization. This is the second generation of Motorola's Moto 360 smart watch. If you didn't have a design choice with the original model, the successor "corrects" that. There are classic versions such as men's (screen diameter 42 and 46 mm) and women's (42 mm) watches, as well as the Moto 360 sport, which is created for sports activities and is accordingly secured with materials that can cope with such conditions (e.g. a strap made of silicone). All of them are waterproof and equipped with a heart rate monitor.

If we were above the Moto 360 smartwatch impressed by the first generation, we can only speak about her successor with selected words. You don't change the winning horse (they just moved the crown), so Motorola held on design guidelines of the predecessor, when she already started with round clock. In this way, they reflect the classic look of analog watches, which we otherwise miss so much in these types of watches. That is why at Motorola they adhere to the philosophy that they do not create technological toys but fashion accessory. But while you can the new Moto 360 emulates analog clocks, offers a ton of other information.

The only minus is that it is still slightly it cuts the screen at the edge (does not touch it) and thus visually creates ti the flat tire effect. But a flat tire is not something that you would overlook and ignore at Motorola, this one serves optimal ratio between the case and the screen. That space is occupied by sensors. He is one of those ambient light sensor, on the basis of which the watch "orients itself" when adjusting the brightness of the screen.

All variations of the second-generation Moto 360 smartwatch have a built-in GPS receiver and maintain the same operating system, that is Android Wear, except that they boast the latest version. The resolution is slightly better, but they stay with the LCD screen, and it drives them Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. At Motorola, they are also beating their chests because of the battery, which is said not to need a charger two days, but this applies to the larger version of the watch, while the 42-millimeter ones should "run out" after two and a half days. You can wear the most basic version around your wrist 270 euros, and the best equipped for 390 euros, and you will be able to choose among 300 different color combinations and many straps.

Hint. Here, Moto360 will be available under the Lenovo brand. More details to come!
