New Moto 360 leaked image shows smart watch in 2 colors
The Moto 360 design made this smart watch one of the most popular first-generation Android Wear devices around, so it’s only natural that so many of us are looking forward to seeing its successor. Don’t you worry, the new Moto 360 should be announced next week, during IFA, but we are already getting a good look at the product thanks to beloved ex-leakster @evleaks.
He was actually quite smooth this time around. Evan Blass leaked the image in the form of a response to tech blogger David Ruddock, who was talking about boarding Delta flights using his Android Wear device.

Pretty sneaky! The device shows up in 2 colors and displays some aesthetics changes. For starters, the button has been positioned higher. Looking around the image we can also see the watch has a much more classic design, making it even better looking than the original Moto 360.
There’s nothing exactly new here, as we have already seen some images before (one of them actually came from Motorola). Regardless, it’s always nice to get a good look at an unannounced gadget, especially when available images are so good.

Enjoy the render and let us know what you think of the 2nd-generation Moto 360? Are you thinking of buying one? As mentioned above, the announcement should be taking place this coming week, so keep it tuned to Android Authority for all the news!
Here is a press render of the new Motorola Moto 360
On Twitter, Evan Blass shared share an alleged image of the upcoming Moto 360 (2015). The models in the image (seen above) are stainless steel with varying bands. The black stainless steel model on the left features a band of the same material while the model on the right has a brown leather band. Moto Maker will presumably be utilized once again to allow consumers to personalize their smartwatches.
Notice that the display size is different, too. This indicates that there will indeed be two unique models. Notice anything about the display? Well, it’s hard to tell if the ‘flat tire’ from last year’s Moto 360 is returning.
Motorola will not be alone if they decide to announce a new smartwatch this week. Plenty of companies are reportedly joining Huawei in showcasing new Android Wear devices at IFA 2015.

I have to say that I am quite pleased with how the Moto 360 looks in both these renders and photos that have been seen all through out last week.
Hopefully the watch gets announced soon. Maybe it will launch along with the Moto X Style that I have been waiting for since that was announced.
The watch is already up for pre-order, but there is still no talk about the specs besides the battery capacity of both the large and small version.
All I know is that I can’t wait until September 3rd.
Are you excited for the announcement of the new Moto 360? What about the full launch of the Moto X Style? Let us know in the comment section down below!

Motorola silently stops selling the Moto 360, possibly hinting a successor is coming soon
Looking to purchase the Moto 360 from Motorola’s site? You’ll have to look elsewhere since Motorola has silently halted sales of its smartwatch.
The product page for the Moto 360 on the company’s site is no longer redirects to Moto Maker for online ordering. Instead, clicking “Build yours” button leads to the Motorola Support page.
And take a look at the image below. Motorola removed a link from the Wearables section going to the Moto 360’s product page; therefore, the only way to reach that aforementioned location is by going directly to its link.
Next week, companies from around the world will head to Berlin for IFA 2015. Is Motorola preparing to launch a new smartwatch at the trade show for the world to see? A new Moto 360 would likely be joined by a slew of other Android Wear devices. We will know more in the coming days.

New Moto 360 leak compares upcoming second-generation model to its predecessor
The second-generation Moto 360 smartwatch will be announced on September 2nd, at the IFA in Berlin. After Motorola posted a video on Twitter revealing the new device form factor, a new leak shows us the device next to its predecessor, giving us an idea of its smaller size.
The leaked picture comes from HellomotoHK’s Facebook page, and shows us the supposedly new Moto 360 next to its larger predecessor. There has been rumors that the new device will come in two sizes, which might help Motorola make the watch more appealing to more customers, as the first generation Moto 360 was quite large. The two variants, known to be the Moto 360S and 360L are still yet-to-be announced, and more leaks will most likely show up before the official announcement next Wednesday.

Moto 360 update with interactive watch faces is now rolling out
A couple of weeks ago, Google announced a new update to Android Wear that allows for interactive watch faces, Google Translate integration, and more. For those with a Moto 360, the wait is over as Motorola is rolling the update out to you currently.
If you want the update make sure your watch is at least at 80% battery, then you can go to Settings>About>System Updates. It should take about 15-20 minutes to update. If you don’t receive the update today, Motorola says you should get it in the next few days. For a list of interactive watch faces after you receive the update, head here.
The new features are outlined by Motorola:
“Interactive Watch Faces
Interactive watch faces make it easier to stay connected. With just a tap on your watch face, you can change its design, reveal more information, or even launch a specific app.
You can download interactive watch faces from Play Store. To set up, touch and hold on the current watch face, then scroll left/right to select the one you just downloaded. You can also select it from the Android Wear phone app.
Together Watch Face
Two Android Wear users can stay close throughout the day by turning their entire watch face into a space for sharing. Once you’ve paired your watch face with a partner’s, you’ll be able to share things like photos and emojis, and more.
To set up, touch and hold on the current watch face, then scroll left/right to find the Together watch face. You can also select it from the Android Wear phone app.
Google Translate for Wear
Translate a conversation into any of the 44 available languages, then flip your wrist to show the translation to someone else. When they respond in their own language, flip your wrist back, and you’ll see in a translation of what they’ve just said.
The watch must be connected to a phone with internet access via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Weather Microapp
Shows current weather conditions and four-day forecast for your current location. To open the weather microapp, swipe left on the watch face, then scroll down and tap Weather.
Privacy improvement for notifications
Your notifications won’t show in full screen until the watch is oriented in a way that only you can see it. This feature prevents others from reading an incoming notification when your watch screen is pointed away from you.
Bug Fixes
A variety of system optimizations to improve performance and stability.”

Batch of Android Wear smartwatches ready for IFA 2015
Despite quickly taking over the top spot for smartwatches, the Apple Watch has not been the roaring success some may have hoped for. Manufacturers of Android-based smartwatches have already discovered this truth, that the wearables market has not yet caught on fire, as shown by poor results for 2014 sales when only 4.6 million units were shipped. Nevertheless, several companies are preparing to introduce a new wave of smartwatches at the IFA 2015 show next week in Berlin, including ASUS, Huawei, LG and Motorola, with a heavy focus on the use of Android Wear for the operating system.
Google’s Android Wear has been on the market since 2014, but it is really only since the Apple Watch launch that the company had something to benchmark against in terms of delivering a superior user experience. The only other alternatives prior to that were solutions like Samsung’s Tizen that ran on their Gear devices or even the WebOS used by LG on the LG Watch Urbane, although these were very similar to what Android Wear was able to offer.
Strategy Analytics’ Neil Mawston has noted that “Apple Watch has clearly raised the bar for the global smartwatch industry. The ball is now in the court of rivals, like Samsung, to respond.”
Amongst the devices expected to be unveiled or put on greater display next week are the successor to the LG Watch Urbane, the new Huawei smartwatch, the ASUS ZenWatch 2, the next version of the Motorola Moto 360, and the Samsung Gear S2. Other companies will likely have something to offer for the wearables market as well.

Motorola Moto 360 2nd Generation gets pricing and goes up for pre-order
With IFA 2015 in Berlin rapidly approaching, and the expected launch of the 2nd Generation Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch, MobileFun have made pre-orders of the device available and have announced their pricing.
The Moto 360 2nd Generation is expected to be offered in 3 different variations: the first is sized at 46.5mm with a cognac leather band which is available for $392.49, and a smaller variant of the watch for $326.99 – one in dark stainless steel and the other in light stainless steel.
Motorola Moto 360 2nd Gen – Cognac Leather – $392.49
Motorola Moto 360 2nd Gen – Light Stainless Steel – $326.99
Motorola Moto 360 2nd Gen – Dark Stainless Steel – $326.99
The larger variant of the Moto 360 2nd Gen comes with a bigger 375mAh battery, whilst the smaller one comes with a 270mAh battery.
We’ve already seen the smartwatch in all its glory taking a stroll round Chicago and can see that the wake button has been moved to the 2 o’clock position, presumably to avoid accidental presses. The ‘flat tyre’ on the Moto 360 2nd Gen still remains so for those hoping for a fully-circular display will have to look elsewhere.
Will you be pre-ordering the Moto 360 2nd Gen?

[Deal] Buy a Moto X Play from Koodo Mobile and get $100 bonus credit or a free Moto 360
The Moto X Play only launched in Canada a few days ago, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick it up on a decent deal already. Koodo Mobile is currently offering new customers a Moto 360 smartwatch or a $100 bonus credit when purchasing a Moto X Play on a Tab plan.

As you can see from Ryan Cheung’s tweet above, it’s an in-store promotion, if you are looking for the deal online, you will only find the $100 bonus credit offer.
If the thought of a Moto 360 or $100 bonus credit isn’t quite enough of an incentive, perhaps the fact that Koodo Mobile is one of only two Canadian carriers to include the Play’s 15W Turbo Charger in the box might sway you. That is worth another $29. As previously mentioned, though, this deal is only for new customers buying the Moto X Play on a Tab plan, and you can only get the Moto 360 offer at Koodo Mobile’s retail outlets and retail partners while stocks last.

New Moto 360 wanders the streets of Chicago
With the expected launch of the next-generation Moto 360 rapidly approaching, we may have just gotten an early glimpse of the smartwatch in the wild.
Spotted by an eager eyed Reddit user, the second generation Moto 360 was seen around Motorola’s hometown of Chicago.
It’s incredibly early days as of yet so no word on specs, availability, or anything of the good stuff – only a glimpse of what could be the follow-up to the current Moto 360. It has been seen in two different colours: an all-black, as well as a cognac band and rose gold body.
The power button has been moved to the 2 o’clock position and will unfortunately, as confirmed by this sighting, retain the spare tyre, despite being noticeably smaller than the previous model.
