Motorola surprised everyone when it announced last March what would be its first smartwatch. At last a manufacturer had managed to unite the elegance of a conventional watch with the technological advances of AndroidWear. Six months later it is finally official, although not without a bit of suspense, since the event that took place on the day of yesterday in Chicago, surprisingly occurred behind closed doors. We tell you all the information about the most anticipated smartwatch.
As anticipated in numerous leaks, it is not only an eye-catching watch, but its quality is also undeniable. First level materials have been used for its construction, mainly steel (stainless steel 316). Its dimensions give the feeling of being quite accurate, with a 11 mm thickness, (equivalent to the profile of the Moto G that accompanied him on stage) and no larger than a conventional watch.
The fully round touch screen has 1,5 inches in diameter (46 millimeters) and it will be customizable, by default we can choose between one of the six skins that are pre-installed. An important detail is that it has the specification IP67Therefore, it will be resistant to dust and water, supporting dives up to one meter deep for a maximum duration of half an hour. The rest of the specifications, what moves this clock is a processor TI OMAP 3 dual-core that also has between 512 MB and 4 GB for storage.
What would be a wearable without sensors. In this case it includes accelerometer, gyroscope, and a heart rate sensor capable of giving us information about the pulsations we have at all times (very useful for those who carry out sports activities). They have implemented functions that take advantage of each of these sensors as an energy saving system that turns the device off and only turns on to show the time when we look at it.
The equipment is completed with two microphones that will allow us to answer calls and use voice control to write messages (answer emails or WhatsApp) and use the personal assistant Google Now. Use Bluetooth 4.0 and Android Wear, therefore you can benefit from all the features that Google is incorporating into this operating system. As for the accessories, highlight the wireless charger.
The next will come month of October hand in hand with the new Motorola Moto X. Those who are interested in the Moto 360, know that its price will be $249 and it can be purchased in Spain in establishments such as El Corte Inglés.
