Moto 360 watch price, release date is expected this summer. Google only confirmed in the recently concluded Google I/O conference that the Moto 360 would be out later in the summer according to IT Pro Portal. The Moto 360 looks like a premium watch because of its unique circular screen and high quality metal construction. Motorola teases about this smart gadget showing off some of the design elements of the smartwatch explaining why the company chooses a round watch.
Lior Ron product lead for the Moto 360 shares in a video that they are very inspired with watches. Mashable noted that he goes on to explain some of the foundation behind the Moto 360, including its round shape. Ron said that round is very classical and functional.
According to Expert Reviews, the Moto 360 will come with a choice of metal or leather straps based on the limited images revealed by Motorola. Reportedly, the company confirmed that there will be other available selection at the smartwatch's debut. The Moto 360 can easily copy the appearance of a classic analogue wristwatch with its leather strap. A futuristic look can also be displayed with a digital face and metal strap combination.
Rumor suggests that the Moto 360 watch screen is a custom-made OLED display. Reportedly, OLEDs consume as much as 40% less power when displaying black images vs LCDs because they can turn off individual pixels. The opposite is true for battery-draining white backgrounds. This custom-made OLED display with mostly black watch face screensaver will help to reduce battery life consumption.
Tech Radar reported that Motorola confirmed that the Moto 360 charges wirelessly via magnetic induction. Motorola's Andoid wear photos reveal the rear of the watch features a strange purple backing. It is speculated to be used for the Qi charging method.
Motorola confirmed according to Tech Radar that the Moto 360, which runs with Google's Android Wear OS, is compatible with all Android 4.3 and Android 4.4 phones and tablets that take advantage of battery-sipping Bluetooth 4.0 technology.
Although there's no official announcement yet, Motorola casually hinted on the price of the smart gadget through the official rules of a contest, suggesting that its "average retail value" is $249.
