Five things you need to know about the Moto 360

The smartwatch and fitness bands market is slowly gaining steam. In the last few months, several new fitness bands and smartwatches have been launched in the country. Apple brought its watch to India this November. Now, after 25 days, we have Moto 360 second generation retailing on Flipkart and Myntra.

The new Moto 360 collection will have five variants: three metal and two leather ones. Here are five things you may like about the latest devices.

1. Looks

With a round dial that never goes out of fashion, users will get a lot of options. Right from choosing between two case sizes — a 46mm or 42mm depending on your wrist, one can pick the colour of the watch casing as well as the band.

2. Competitive pricing

It might not be one of the economical smartwatches out there, but at `19,999 many users may find Motorola’s new collection quite appealing.

3. Enhanced battery life

The company claims this watch can last for two days after a single charge. If this is true, then Motorola seems to have overcome one of the biggest flaws of its earlier variant.

4. Android and iOS compatibility

The fact that the Moto 360 will run on both Android and iOS platforms is fantastic. However, one must also note that the new Moto 360 (2015) requires a phone running on Android 4.3+ or an iPhone with iOS 8.2+.

5. WiFi-enabled

The new Moto 360 (2015) is WiFi-enabled, which means you can continue to stay connected if your phone is out of Bluetooth range.
