what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and we're getting a look at the moto active this is a very cool device it's not just one thing it's a music player it's a watch it's an exercise device it's also going to interact with your cell phone your smartphone and give you some caller ID some text messages it's just really cool all around it's it's gonna do a lot of its work via bluetooth it can be worn as a watch but it doesn't have to be the only problem with that he's got to pick up the watch strap separately for another twenty nine bucks now the device ain't cheap it retails for 249 then again you can really easily spend 249 or more on a watch that does a lot less than this so in my opinion it's pretty interesting and I'm excited to get inside and see what exactly this little thing can do and also how it looks because as we all know if you're gonna put something on your wrist and rock it all day long you're gonna want to make sure that it's suitable to do so some of these Smart Watch devices in the past have not been the prettiest I'm looking at that one Sony Ericsson device in particular that operated similarly to this one - some of the exercise functionality so as you guys notice it kind of looks like an iPod Nano on its own sitting here you've got that reflective back on it and you can use it like this like it doesn't need to be used as a watch you've got a dedicated start and music button along the top edge of the device it's gonna charge via USB which is nice nothing proprietary you've got your headphone jack a nice right angled connector on your headphones as well your power button as well as volume up and down which are important after all this is a music player and it can also answer phone calls for you over Bluetooth I mean I'll get to all the features and functions in a little bit but nonetheless inside the box we've got our cable and then next a little clip mechanism again if you're not going to be using it as a watch this clip allows you to put it on your clothing whether for exercise or riding a train whatever you want to do with it you've got some tips to choose from so you can customize the fit of the earbuds it's an in-ear style headphone of course and as guys notice it's got a cool red cable not sure if that's to your taste but if it is you'll probably like it it's also got a right-angle gold-plated mini-jack connector I like right-angled connectors they're generally more robust and tougher to mess up you've got a clip up here because there's a microphone on this device it's a headset and that microphone is going to be used as I mentioned earlier to answer phone calls assuming this watch so to speak is connected via bluetooth to your phone so I've seen some of these inline remotes before and sometimes they're low-quality this one feels solid though you've got a button there which is likely going to be used to answer and hang up phone calls really cool a really unique device as I mentioned earlier I'm not sure that there's ever been anything quite like it the headphones are unique as well and the reason for that is because you've got this red strip on the interior that red strip is actually a heart rate monitor and the reason for that is pretty obvious it's to monitor your heart during exercise the tips fit on fairly easily you can swap them out and switch them find whatever it is that works for you now the next thing inside of the box or the last physical item inside of the box is this power charging brick it's a little tiny block very reminiscent of the Apple brick except you've got two USBs because two is better than one so I suppose you can charge up a couple of us two USB devices instead of one very cool now we've got some paperwork this is obviously the most boring part of any unboxing but we got to look at it nonetheless you've got some instructions telling you how to get this set up get some music on it so on and there's some accessories available as well if you want to go wireless with your headphones you can do that via some different wireless Bluetooth headphones available via Motorola now the clip is pretty easy to use you just slide your moto active down on to it it doesn't quite click into place but it definitely feels sturdy this thing is not going anywhere you can trust me on that and everything about the clip feels nice it's all metallic so here's that micro USB connector that's what you're going to use to charge the device and as I mentioned earlier that's that's a big plus nobody wants proprietary connections anymore we've all got micro USB chargers hanging around and cables hanging around so it's nice to use something that's already here so lastly we've got the wrist strap and as I mentioned earlier this is an extra you got to pay another $29 which seems kind of chintzy when you're already paying 249 for the watch but hey that's the way that it is and one thing I will say is that the watch feels really good the strap I mean it's it's high-quality you got a real cool locking clasp so at least in that respect it feels like it's worth 29 bucks I guess so it works much in the same way as the clip you just slide the Moto active and down on to there and again there's no clicking noise but it's solid it ain't going anywhere unless you want it to go somewhere and here's what it looks like altogether you still see the Motorola logo on the inside and this is the way that locking clasp works you just pop that baby out and go ahead and try it on I'll try it on here why not it is a watch after all so there's what it looks like mounted up on my wrist I think I have averaged maybe two large-size hands so it is a big it's a big device it's probably not for everyone if you like chunkier watches then it's probably fine for you now there is a little bit of setup work involved only because this thing is so smart you put in everything from your time zone to your sex to your age to your weight some some crazy details because this thing really tracking everything about you and everything that you do in order to come up with figures on how many calories you burn in a day how many steps you take the whole nine yards now as you can see I picked a kind of unique watch face here it's it's the skull and skull and crossbones you know situation as for you badass people in a crowd but you can also get much more subtle stock options in there now this is actually running a stripped-down version of Android very cool and after all this is just the unboxing I can't go too deeply into the functionality of this thing at the moment I will do a review I promise you that so definitely subscribe for it anyway guys I want to thank you for watching you guys make this content possible if you don't mind maybe
