Motorola’s new Moto 360 smartwatch still had to be unveiled to the public, however, Best Buy has accidentally released the device’s features and price. A product page for the smartwatch is available, perhaps it was launched a bit too early by accident. Regardless, the page suggests that the new smartwatch will arrive at $250.
That is definitely more than Samsung’s Gear Live and the LG G Watch, but perhaps that can be owed to, on the elegant design. The new Moto 360 isn’t just another rectangular screen attached to a band, its a bit more watch-like, with a circle and not a rectangle. According to the leak, the smartwatch will come with a 1.5 inch LCD touch screen running at 320 by 290 resolution.
The face of the smart watch will be protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The watch will support Bluetooth 4.0 and work with most devices that have Android 4.3 or later. The watch facilitates voice commands through a microphone in the watch. The watch also has an integrated heart monitor and a pedometer. Apart from the obvious fitness-tracking functionality, the heart-rate option may also be of medical utility. There is no GPS in the watch, and the watch also includes an ambient light sensor, probably to adjust the brightness relative to the light in the room and outside in the sun. The information could possibly be inadequate or there may be a slight disparity in the final product, including the price.
