Motorola’s Moto 360 was a revolutionary smartwatch when it was released last year, combining beautiful aesthetics with a powerful set of features above and below the hood. However, since its competitors have gotten their games up, Motorola’s flagship smartwatch has become just another face in the crowd. Hopefully, its successor, codenamed smelt, will bring Motorola back to the forefront of smartwatch design and capabilities.

While we’ve already seen hints of the new Moto 360 due to a leaked image by Lenovo’s CEO, we didn’t really know much more than that until a device called Smelt running Android 5.1 on a 360 x 360 screen pinged a developer’s console in Illinois. Since the original Moto 360’s codename was Minnow, and both minnows and smelts are fish, this theory seems probable. Until it gets closer to release date, we won’t know exactly what “Smelt” is, but stay tuned to TalkAndroid to find out more news as it comes out.
