The Moto 360 has already stolen a march on its smartwatch rivals in the early battle for publicity with a round design, and now Motorola’s much-hyped wearable has officially got a release date and price. It’s time for a new smartwatch! The Moto 360 will be priced at $249 for the US market and will be available there starting Friday, September 5. Statesiders can grab it via Google Play, Best Buy and Motorola itself. In the UK, the Moto 360 price will be starting at £199 and the release date has been set for early October. Stockists will include O2, Tesco, Amazon and John Lewis. Both territories will be able to plump for either a grey leather or black leather strap. We’ve had some, ahem, time with the watch, news of which we broke back at Mobile World Congress in February, and our early impressions are that the design is impressive, even if Android Wear needs some work. Boasting a lovely strap and less bulky on the wrist than you might think from the dimensions, it’s certainly an early front-runner in the style stakes, although the screen constantly fading to black does diminish its impact. Also shown off by Motorola at an event in the UK was the Moto Hint – a Bluetooth earbud that has been designed to complement the Moto X phone. There’s no release date, but we have been told that the bud will be coming in the next few months. Last week we reported on some new pictures of the Moto 360 in its charging cradle, along with evidence that the smartwatch will include an optical heart rate sensor. That should be enough! Italian blogger Luca Viscardi, who obtained the early sample of the watch, has also penned a review with some initial thoughts on the device, in which he says the battery life of the Moto 360 lasts around two and a half days. That means it fares better than the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live, both of which only run for about a day, but obviously won’t stand up to other rivals such as the Pebble. Still, not terrible. But there’s always a chance that the final production models could be slightly different, so we’ll have to wait until our review before we can truly put the 360’s battery to the test. We’re pretty certain that the Moto 360 is close to launch – we recently glimpsed some press shots, which is a telling sign – but Motorola’s keeping quiet on a few of the essential details. Very cool indeed! However the latest batch of pictures answer a few of our burning questions. They were leaked by Mr Gadget himself (Inspector Gadget was already taken), and include some shots of the watch docked into the previously-secret wireless charger. This is the first Android Wear smartwatch to go wireless (the G Watch is only half way there), which is why we’ve been champing at the bit to discover the secret sauce that Moto’s been teasing for so long. As you can see, the cradle keeps the watch upright and facing outwards, allowing you to keep an eye on the display and the juicepower status. The images also show the back of the smartwatch, explicitly listing an “optical hear rate sensor”, which is news to us. There’s also mention of “wireless charging”, a “pedometer” and an IP67 water resistant rating. But perhaps the best news is that it confirms the watch is “stainless steel”, dashing rumours that Motorola may have fallen back on a plastic design. As Mr Gadget notes, the Moto 360’s round shape will require Android Wear apps to be tailor made. He adds that the Wear Mini launcher, for example, currently doesn’t work with Motorola’s offering. The Moto 360 has us excited for a number of reasons: the round face, the wireless charging, the use of Android Wear, the premium metal design. Really bad news! But hold the phone on that last one – one source now says the Moto 360 will actually drop the metal and opt for plastic come launch. Chinese site techweb claims that the watch will now come in a plastic housing, and will push the thickness up to 13.5mm, despite the fact that early demo units have had the metallic design. That makes it a fair bit chunkier than the LG G Watch (9.9mm) and the Samsung Gear Live (8.9 mm). If true, this would be a blow to Motorola’s smarwatch, which many people (some of us at TechRadar included) believe could be the saviour of the smartwatch. But it could also be a load of tosh, so we’ve approached Motorola for comment and we’ll update when we hear more. In the same report, it’s also reiterated that the Moto 360 will come with wireless charging, which is the cause for the extra bulk. But given the abysmal life of most smartwatches right now, we’ll take it. Early Android Wear adopters might have tried out music recognition app EchoWear, but let’s be honest: it’s not quite Shazam, is it? Sounds like a nice combo! But the best-known music matching service is looking at Google’s wearable OS, hinting that we may see an app sooner rather than later. “We’ve experimented with Android Wear, we’ve experimented with Google Glass, so for sure that’s an area that we’re looking at, and it fits right into the logic of technology that fits more seamlessly into our lives,” Shazam CEO Daniel Danker told TechRadar. In fact, Shazam’s already put out an app on Google Glass exclusively for the UK, which we’re sure is awesome. We’ll just have to ask one of the ten people who actually own one. As with the new Shazam for Mac, an Android Wear version could potentially have an always-listening feature, which would quietly match those tunes as you go about your day. Smartwatches are cool pieces of tech, but the likes of the Samsung Gear Live, LG G Watch and Sony Smartwatch 2 haven’t exactly pushed the boundaries of wearable design and elegance. Better by-the-minute! The Motorola Moto 360 on the other hand – is the smartwatch everyone is talking about. That’s mainly because of its circular display, with the more traditional watch shape being more appealing to the masses and it looks like Samsung may follow suit. A recent trio of patents spotted by MobileGeeks seems to depict a range of Samsung smartwatches sporting decidedly more circular displays. Two of the designs clearly have round displays, although the third is more of a square with rounded corners. The volcanic shaped camera lens which adorned the original Galaxy Gear appears to make a return on all three patent designs, although it’s not quite as in your face this time around. The cameras on the strap are apparently linked to a new gesture recognition system for the smartwatches, but there’s precious little detail about this. It’s not clear whether these designs are meant for the Android Wear ecosystem or Samsung’s own Tizen platform which adorns the Gear 2, Gear Fit and co. One thing is for sure, we can expect more wearable tech from the Korean giant in the near future. All eyes are on IFA 2014 at the start of September. Motorola created waves when it launched Moto Maker with the Moto X smartphone in 2013, allowing consumers to tweak the colour and materials of the chassis for a unique build – but apparently it’s not just phones it can tailor. Moto-awesome! According to a source close to Motorola who has spoken to PhoneArena, the now Lenovo-owned outfit is readying its Maker for the Moto 360 smartwatch. The unknown source didn’t divulge any further information on which variables you’ll be able to customise, but strap selection would appear to be the obvious one. The source did go on to say that the Moto 360 won’t arrive alone, as Motorola will also launch the Moto X+1 with the smartwatch – which will also be supported by Moto Maker. The only Moto 360 release date we’ve been given thus far is “later this summer”, so we’ll have to hold out a little bit longer to find out if you’ll be able to design yourself a unique 360. Fancy some Android on your wrist? At the Google IO Developer Conference the company has taken the wraps off the two Android Wear smartwatches we’ve seen before, and one we had only heard hints about — the LG G Watch, the Moto 360 and the Samsung Gear Live. Very different approaches! The LG and Samsung watches are on sale through Google Play with the Motorola device arriving later this summer. If you’ve got your cash ready and are wondering how these wrist-based micro-computers stack up against each other, we’ve got all the specs and details you need. Google has promised that more Android Wear-powered smartwatches are on the way, but for now this is your choice. The LG G Watch sports a square 1.65-inch IPS screen with a 280 x 280 pixel resolution. The Samsung Gear Live is smaller but sharper: it has a square 1.63-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 320 x 320 pixel resolution. If you want a circular smartwatch face, the Moto 360 is your only choice for the time being, though we don’t know the exact measurements or resolution right now. The rumours are that it uses a special low-power custom-made OLED display, but we’ll have to wait and see. In terms of screen size there’s not much to choose between the three smartwatches, though the Moto 360’s round face is likely to make it the more attractive offering for the majority of consumers — the groans around the Google IO conference hall when it was announced the Moto 360 would not be available to order seem to bear that out. The LG G Watch is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU running at 1.2GHz. There’s 512MB of internal RAM and 4GB of storage space packed into the casing. LG has listed the battery as a 400mAh model, so we’ll have to see how well that stands up in day-to-day use. The Samsung Gear Live brings a very similar set of specifications to the table. We don’t know the model of the processor, but considering it’s listed as a 1.2GHz CPU it’s likely to be the same one powering the LG. The 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage match up, but the battery is a weedier 300mAh edition. Samsung is promising “all-day battery life” but it may not be much more than that in practice. Again, there’s not much we can tell you in terms of specifics about the Moto 360. We have been told it will support Qi-compatible wireless charging (found in the Nexus 5 and many Nokia handsets) but as for internal specifications Motorola is playing its cards close to its chest. Both the G Watch and the Gear Live are listed as IP67 dust and water resistant, and both come with the essential Bluetooth 4.0 LE for connecting up with your phone – although only Android phones using version 4.3 and above, and iPhone users are out of luck. Uniquely, Samsung’s device’s offers a heart rate monitor on the back of the watch, enabling it to plug directly into a whole range of fitness apps. Measuring 37.9mm x 46.5mm x 9.95mm, the LG smartwatch tips the scales at 63g and comes in either “black titan” or “white gold” colours. The slightly taller Samsung device has dimensions of 37.9mm x 56.4mm x 8.9mm, weighs 59g and comes in black or red. Both watches use standard 22mm straps, so you can easily replace them if they aren’t to your tastes. While not as widespread in terms of detail, the Moto 360 looks the slightly bulkier, stockier timepiece of the trio, but with the circular face is impressing many, plus it too is water resistant, according to Google. The manufacturer has said the watch can be worn on the right or the left wrist, with the digital face flipping to match wherever you have the control knob pointing. It’s also rumoured to be sporting high-strength sapphire glass, which would bump up the price. And that leads us nicely on to… Google says the LG and Samsung smartwatches will be on sale from the Devices section of Google Play sometime today, but you might not get them as soon as you think. The G Watch retails for $229 (roughly AUS$243/£134) with the Gear Live undercutting it at $199 (AUS$212/£117). The Samsung Gear Live doesn’t ship until the July 7, and we’re hearing a similar shipping date for the LG G Watch. How quickly these devices get beyond the shores of the United States remains to be seen, but we’ll keep you posted on this page when we hear from Google. The Moto 360 has always been pegged as being released sometime this summer, and Google didn’t offer anything more specific than that in its keynote address. With its unique face design, wireless charging and later launch, we’d expect it to come with a premium price too. Motorola has earlier inadvertently clued us on the Moto 360 price through the official rules of a contest though, suggesting that its “average retail value” is $249 (about £148, AU$270) As dictated by the framework of Android Wear, these smartwatches are compatible with Android handsets (as mentioned, running 4.3 or above to allow for the Bluetooth LE). Standard app notifications and controls (such as playback buttons in a music app) work out of the box, with dedicated smartwatch apps and custom alerts on the way once developers get up to speed with the hardware. As flagship Android phones grow larger, it’ll be nice to have a wearable to quickly check and dismiss notifications without having to take your phone out of your pocket. The Moto 360 is a little more fashionable with its circular watch face, but if you want to step into the smartwatch future as quickly as possible you’ll have to look elsewhere. The LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live look like your best options for a smartwatch right now and Google’s best bet to ward off the inevitable iWatch. There’s something interesting going on with Google and Samsung though: while only slightly lower in spec compared to the recently-announced Gear 2 range from the South Koreans, the Gear Live is much cheaper. It’s also better specified than the LG G Watch, yet is cheaper too with a better screen. If you can’t get your hands on a Moto 360 (or the cost of that proves to be too high) then the Gear Live could be the early frontrunner.
