In the past year we have seen a lot of new developments in
wearable technology. More fitness trackers, a new Google Glass and even more
smartwatches from different companies. Google’s ability to develop great
software and Motorola’s experience with products designed around the customer
are now giving us Moto 360 and Android Wear.
What is Android Wear?
As the name already suggests, Android Wear is an operating
system made for wearable devices, especially for smartwatches. And, obviously,
it’s based on Android.
The UI is tailored to be easy to use on a relatively small
screen. Everything is focused on giving you the information you need when and
where you need it most. Basically, as far as we know, it’s an extended version
of Google Now. Of course, with the recently released developers will certainly
create amazing applications for wearable devices beyond “just” Google Now.
Moto 360 – the first Google smartwatch
Nowadays, the main purpose of most watches isn’t to tell
time (after all, you can always just check your phone). It’s about style,
showing who you are and what makes you special. Watches are a lifestyle
accessory, which express your personality.
Motorola’s approach to creating new hardware products is all
about focusing on the people and their style.
All you need to know about Moto 360
·
When will it be released? Summer 2014, details
still to be discussed.
·
Can you change wrist straps? Yes, there will be
a wide variety of styles to chose from.
·
How much will it cost? Still unknown. We suggest
between $150-$250, depending on the wrist band.
·
How long does the battery last? This is also
still unknown. However, according to Motorola battery life is something they
have been focusing on. The Moto 360 has no USB port, so the watch will either
charge wirelessly, have a kinetic charging feature where movement creates
electricity, or probably both.
·
How large is it? The Moto 360 has a diameter of
1.81” (or 46mm)
