The fashionable crowd tend to avoid getting smartwatches because of aesthetics. But with the release of the new Moto 360 line of wearable devices, even the most style-conscious consumer would consider getting one.
Motorola unveiled the Moto 360 (2015) during the mobile firm's IFA 2015 presentation in Berlin, Germany, and it comes with a lot of improvements.
One of the major changes in the latest edition of the Moto 360 wearable line is the optional watch face size which would fit both male and female consumers. The larger watch face comes at 46 mm in diameter, which is the same as the first Moto 360 device that could appeal to the male crowd. On the other hand, the smaller 42 mm diameter watch face is ideal for female users. Consumers can also choose between the 20 mm straps for men and 16 mm straps for women.
The Moto 360 2015 edition also comes with the Moto Maker feature, which can help consumers pick their own custom watch among the numerous designs and finishes.
There is also a Moto 360 2015 Sport model, which comes with an exclusive Motorola silicon strap. This variant also comes with a brighter screen feature that is made specifically to make the device readable under the direct sunlight. While it comes with the same 42mm model, this product line is a little thicker and has its own GPS chip to record the users' running time.
Under the hood, the Moto 360 (2015) is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 with a 1.2GHz quad-core CPU. It also has Adreno 305, 450MHz GPU, 4 GB internal storage with 512 MB RAM, as well as Bluetooth 4.0, LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g connectivity options.
The new Moto 360 device sells from $299 to $349 for the larger model while the sleek Moto 360 product for females can sell for as much as $329. Those who will choose the rose or yellow Gold option for their smartwatches must pay an additional $30. Women who will choose the leather wrap-around band must add $10 for their purchase.
Pre-orders for the product already began at the Google Store and in the Motorola's official site.
