Moto 360 at IFA Berlin 2014

2014-09-05
what we have already in the market are a lot of smartwatches that support the Android wear especially butts by moto now we have a round face and also an accessible design that might be applicable for plenty of people out there aah Joshua Garf majorda thority and this is our look at the Moto 360 and here it is the Moto 360 we're taking a look at this brand new SmartWatch from moda with the round face sporting Android we're here in Berlin for Aoife even though we weren't able to be there in Chicago we're getting a wonderful look at it here in a beautiful Berlin day what we're looking at here is the round face now of course everyone has been talking about this little area on the bottom that doesn't make it a perfect round but you know what I don't think that really makes too much of a difference because the usability and the fact that you have a pretty large diameter right here edge to edge when it comes to the display really makes it quite great already what we have here is a android wear of course you're going to get all of the difference cards for notifications and whatnot here's a stock's one that you're looking at here but we're going to take a quick tour into the actual watch faces that reveal because after all we are looking at a round face so you're going to be taking advantage of that round face quite often as you can see here there are quite a few watch faces that basically are the analog look if you want to use something a little bit more digital it's going to look something like that it's just going to be a circle and then you have the time right there but still looks really great now one of the things that I really love about the Moto 360 that I've seen so far is the fact that it's a pretty accessible build you do get it in a silver or a black which is the one that i have here right now but basically when you have it on because it is of a round face it pretty much blends right in the way that you would with any other watch but i do think that it is accessible for pretty much anybody out there as long as you're ok with having you somewhat large face on your wrist which is perfectly fine as far as the thickness go it is a little bit thicker than maybe you're more conventional watch just one to think of ones out there but it actually doesn't take too much away from at the usability and also the way that it looks they probably won't cramp your style at all but we're taking a look at all the features here now one of the best features about this I think is the fact that when you put the watch on to the charging cradle now there is wireless charging on here you will be able to use the watch as a clock on your bedside table for example so the watch this android wear watch will continue to be useful even when you are asleep and not being and actually wearing the watch which is I think pretty brilliant we look around to the back here we have the moto styling there is some plastic right here but that's fine the basically you have a lot of the features that already sort of put out over here you have the wireless charging also a heart rate monitor and even the pedometer underneath and of course this entire watch is water resistance now there is also a button over here but it has a pretty simple function you're pretty much just going to use it to wake the device one of the many ways to do so other than the sensor that brings it up to your face or also tapping on the screen itself of course you can hold the x in order to get to the menu as well but that's about the gist of it there now heading back to the actual operating system I have a watch face right here that actually looks pretty cool it's a kind of a mix between analog and digital but we'll take a look at the rest here we do have the black leather version right here in my hands at the moment and it does look really nice you will be able to change the straps fairly easily as well but this one actually looks pretty utilitarian pretty simplistic but also still elegant at the same time now we've seen plenty of people wearing the Moto 360 here at the presentation for moto and I have to say no matter who i saw this watch on it blended right in with what they were wearing and it wasn't too intrusive at all so that's just a look at the Moto 360 I'm going to be getting my particular unit pretty soon and I will bring you the full review very soon once i get back from Aoife in berlin but we really do like what we see and what I love the most about this particular watches it sounds like it's pretty much accessible for anybody out there because the styling is about as let's say simplistic and also it's able to blend in with pretty much anything that you might be using so keep it tuned here at Android Authority for even more access and coverage to the Moto 360 this might be the one that you guys are really looking for and I know everyone's really pining over this round face and I do think it is implemented quite well so keep it tuned to you for even more from Aoife in Berlin but also beyond especially the future of view of this the Moto 360 because we are your source for all things Android
