IFA 2014 is set to go big on wearables, and – never one to be left out of the limelight – Asus will be taking to the stage in Berlin to debut its own Android Wear smartwatch. What a tease! And to give us a taste of what’s in store, Asus has teased us (again) with a few rough sketches of the watch, rumoured to be the most affordable Android Wear device yet. While it seems that other manufacturers (LG, Samsung) are finally realising why everyone is talking about the Moto 360, it appears Asus is going to buck that trend and opt for a curved rectangular shape instead. It looks more appealing than the LG G Watch’s chunk of a square, though it’s difficult to draw any proper conclusions based on these sketches alone. But we’ll be in full force at IFA to bring you a first look at the Asus smartwatch the moment we get our wrists on it. 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. Android Wear is currently finding its feet in this whacky world of wearables, and getting itself decent apps like WhatsApp on board as quickly as possible will be the key to success. Handy. Well, wristy! The new version of WhatsApp has just been made available to download from the official website, bringing some welcome features with it. The update brings full message preview, allowing you, unsurprisingly, to see the full message on your watch, where previously, in the dark and horrid times, you could only see a truncated version. If that wasn’t enough to cause you to leave work and find the nearest Android Wear emporium, you can now use the voice reply function to dictate a message straight into your wrist. And finally, you can now read stacked conversation messages, which means messages pile on top of one another – you can jump to the next one by tapping the “+1 more” button. The dream is here, people. The update hasn’t appeared on Google Play just yet, but you can go grab it straight from WhatsApp directly right now. With over half a billion people around the world now using WhatsApp regularly, there might be a few who are interested. LG has rolled out a firmware update for its LG G Watch following concerns that the gold terminal pins on the back of the device were causing skin irritation and even burns for some wearers. That’s not ideal! The problem, as reported by Android Police, is a constant electrical current that is sent through to the exposed POGO pins while the device is being worn. Other users have complained about discolouration and corrosion of the pins, which has is caused when sweat meets the live POGO pins on the Android Wear device The update from LG, which is yet to be officially acknowledged by the company, has been sent to stop that current while the device is in use. An LG customer support representative did told one G Watch owner: Recently it has come to our attention that a small number of G Watch devices have been reported to have developed discoloration and residue buildup on the terminal pins located on the back. “While completely safe and unlikely to affect charging, LG will be rolling out a maintenance release over the next few days that will disable the current when the G Watch is not in the charging dock. The maintenance release will be rolled out automatically over-the-air to all G Watch owners. We thank G Watch users for their patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.” Have you noticed discolouration of the pins on your G Watch? Any skin irritation? Let us know if this stops now the update has rolled out. 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. Just last week we were chewing over an artist reproduction of the alleged HTC Android Wear smartwatch, but now we’ve got something that feels a little more authentic. Leaks are now the norm! A new “behind the scenes” video from HTC is mostly made of HTC people doing HTC things, and moody shots of office lighting. But at 35 seconds in you’ll notice something that looks a bit out of place. At first glance it looks a tad like the first-gen TomTom Runner, but zoom in and this is definitely a UWO (Unidentified Wearable Object). What’s more, there are two visible watch stands, suggesting that it’s something that HTC is in the process of testing. And if that wasn’t enough to get the conspiracy theorists buzzing, the smartwatch seemingly makes a second appearance at 42 seconds where we can see another designer (possibly the same, though the desk has been moved around a bit) working on a 3D render of what also looks like a square watch face. If we’re right on this, it means HTC’s smartwatch looks set to be a squared-off affair. That may change before the final design, but if you’re more spherically inclined, don’t get your hopes up too high.
