Get the Moto X, Nexus 6, and Moto 360 for a hefty discount in the UK on May 18
If you’re in the market for a new smartphone and are looking to snag a deal, you might want to consider picking up a device from Motorola.
Once the bell rings midnight on May 18, Motorola is hosting a 48-hour sale on the Moto X, Nexus 6, and Moto 360 smartwatch. This is quite a hefty sale, too. The Moto X will get slashed by £96, bringing the 16GB to £299 and the 32GB solution to £339.
Up next is a fan-favorite, the Motorola-made Nexus 6. You can pick up Google’s 16GB flagship device for £449. If you want the 32GB option, it’ll run you £512. That’s a savings around £30 on the original price. Finally, we have the Moto 360 smartwatch, which will be priced at £150, for a whopping £50 discount.
Next weeks flash sale will certainly save those a chunk of money who were intent on purchasing one of these three devices. However, with recent rumors on a possible new Moto X and Moto 360, we can’t help but think Motorola is trying to clear out stock to make way for new and improved devices. After all, they have been putting on a lot of excellent sales for their devices lately. It makes you a little bit suspicious.
Either way, take advantage of the discounts while you can. There’s nothing like outstanding sales on some quite admirable devices. Then again, you may want to hold off until there’s more definite news on a couple new Motorola devices.
Are you picking one up? Let us know in the comments.

Motorola’s holding a two-day sale for its top devices in the UK
If the latest flagships from Samsung and HTC haven’t impressed you, now might be a good time to reconsider a Motorola phone. Starting at midnight on May 18th, the company is holding a 48-hour flash sale with hefty discounts on the Moto X, Nexus 6 and Moto 360 smartwatch. The Moto X is being cut by £96, pushing the 16GB model down to £299 and the 32GB version to £339. The gargantuan Nexus 6, meanwhile, is being dropped to £449 (32GB) and £519 (64GB), which is just £30 less than the current asking price.
We’ve seen a few signs pointing to a Moto 360 successor, so a price drop on the original isn’t too surprising. A device with a model number similar to the Moto 360 cropped up recently, and Lenovo’s CEO was spotted earlier this year with a briefcase full of smartwatch prototypes. In next week’s flash sale, the original Moto 360 is being cut to £150 — a 25 percent reduction, or a £50 saving. It’s a sizeable discount and signals an intent by Motorola to quickly clear out stock. Of course, it’s not a permanent price-drop, but we wouldn’t be shocked to see a bevy of similar sales in the coming months.

Deal: Moto 360 for just $130, today only!
Last month Google slashed down the price of a brand new Moto 360 to just $165, though the offer only lasted for a very limited time and the official pricing has since returned to $250. Missed out on that deal? For those interested in the 360 but not willing or able to pay top dollar, Woot is currently offering up Motorola’s smartwatch for just $129.99, plus $5 dollar shipping!
As you might have guessed, this impressively low price tag comes with a small catch: this is a factory refurbished model. The good news is that it still comes with a one year warranty through Motorola.

Woot gives you the choice of black or stone gray leather straps, and, of course, comes with the wireless charging dock and wall charger. The deal is only good for today, however, so you’ll want to act quickly if you are at all interested in picking one up.
Is the Moto 360 still worth buying, with more recent circular options available like the LG G Watch R, LG Urbane, and the upcoming Huawei Watch? The short answer is yes, especially at this cutthroat price. For those that are turned off by the flat-tire look of the Moto 360 and its less than excellent battery life, you might be better off going with another option or waiting for the arrival of the next-gen Moto 360.
Deal: Motorola Moto 360 leather-bound smartwatch on sale for $129.99
If you’re looking to pick up a leather-bound Moto 360 smartwatch, Woot has an excellent deal on the device.
For $129.99, you can get a stylish Moto 360 on your wrist. Keep in mind that the smartwatches they are selling are reconditioned. However, they do still come with the 1-year factory warranty, so if anything were to malfunction on the hardware side, Motorola would probably be willing to swap it out for you.
Reconditioned, that can be a real concern. However, it’s an excellent discount for this piece of hardware, and Motorola has an excellent warranty. Also, do keep in mind that this is the leather Moto 360 smartwatch–the metal-bound models are much pricier. Amazon lists their leather-bound Moto 360’s at $169.99, while getting them through Motorola’s MotoMaker is a flat $249, whether it be leather or metal.
Be sure to hit the source link below to pick up a discounted Moto 360. Not quite sure on getting the smartwatch? Be sure to check out our review.

The Moto 360 successor may have just visited Bluetooth SIG, announcement imminent?

The Motorola Moto 360 is one of the most successful smartwatches to date, which is no small feat considering the fledgling nature of the smartwatch market. A lot of its success has been attributed to its striking looks, but whatever its winning qualities are, we’re excited to see what Motorola has up its sleeves for the Moto 360 successor. Today, it’s been suggested that such a successor has just appeared on the Bluetooth SIG website and that the same thing happened just days before Motorola announced the original Moto 360. Hype train engaged.
The device on the listing is named BTMW03 and is only referred to as a “Motorola Android Device”. So how are we sure that it’s the next Moto 360? Last year’s device was called BTMW01 in Bluetooth SIG’s database, and we can’t imagine that the model numbers could be this similar and not be similar. With Google I/O just around the corner as well, it’s high time we saw some action from Motorola, who’s Moto 360 was the star of the show at 2014’s event.
Do you think the listing at Bluetooth SIG has anything to do with the Moto 360 successor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

New Moto 360 may have just been Bluetooth certified
The next generation Moto 360 has likely just passed through official Bluetooth certification, which might indicate that we’ll see the successor to Motorola’s rounded smartwatch relatively soon.
The device has a model number of BTMW03, which is extremely similar to the Moto 360’s BTMW01 model. The certification also mentions that it’s an Android product, so that rules out any type of Bluetooth speaker, headset, or other accessory. It either has to be the new 360, or something completely out of left field that no one’s expecting. The former is a safer bet.
The certification unfortunately doesn’t reveal much else about the device, except that it’ll be using Bluetooth 4.1. Hopefully we’ll know more soon.

Huawei Watch
Huawei recently launched its first Android Wear device at MWC 2015 a few months ago, and it’s already made a huge splash in the wearable community. Featuring a beautiful sapphire crystal circular display, the Huawei Watch definitely gives the LG Watch Urbane a run for its money on the aesthetic side.

Motorola Moto 360
It’s hip, it’s stylish, and it’s customizable. The Moto 360 was one of the first Android Wear smartwatches announced, and, while it took Motorola more than half a year to release it, the sleek circular device has been well received. Featuring a large circular screen (albeit with the infamous “flat tire” cutout at the bottom), a sleek brushed metal build, and several replaceable bands, the Moto 360 will look good in just about any occasion.
On the inside, the processor is older than the competitors’, while the battery is on the small side – still, the Moto 360 will last a day of usage for all but the most active users, and you get wireless charging. With a variety of cool watchfaces taking advantage of the round screen and more launching constantly, the Moto 360 is a great choice if style is your biggest priority.
Specs
- Display: 1.56-in IPS LCD 320 x 290 pixels
- Processor: Texas Instruments OMAP 3
- RAM: 512MB
- Storage: 4GB
- Battery: 320 mAh
- Water protection: IP67
- Weight and size: 49g, 46mm diameter

LG G Watch R
The other circular smartwatch on our list is the G Watch R, and, as LG likes to point out, there’s no cutout here. The full circle screen is beautiful, and everything will look nicer on it thanks to the 245 ppi (higher than the Moto 360’s). While the Moto 360 has a minimalist flair, the G Watch R will appeal more to fans of sport watches, with its beveled engraved ring and aggressively sculpted body.
The G Watch R impresses through its large battery and the Snapdragon processor inside ensures steady performance. The device ships with a nice leather strap, but if you don’t like it, you can easily swap it with any standard 22 mm strap.
Specs
- Display: 1.3-in P-OLED 320 x 320 pixels
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2GHz
- RAM: 512MB
- Storage: 4GB
- Battery: 410 mAh
- Water protection: IP67
- Weight and size: 62g, 46.4 x 53.6 x 9.7 mm

Asus ZenWatch
Asus’ ZenWatch has been one of the nicest surprises in the Android Wear ecosystem so far, thanks to its good specs and stylish design, proving you can make a rectangular smartwatch that doesn’t look geeky. With a smoothly rounded two-tone metallic body and a standard-sized stitched leather strap, the ZenWatch looks sophisticated and timeless.
There aren’t any bells and whistles on the hardware side, but Asus makes it up with the software stack, including some nice watch faces and several interesting Asus features (available through an app) like the ability to double tap the screen to launch a feature. All and all, if you don’t want a round watch, but still want style, this looks like your best option.
Specs
- Display: 1.63-in OLED 320 x 320 pixels
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2GHz
- RAM: 512MB
- Storage: 4GB
- Battery: 370 mAh
- Water protection: IP55
- Weight and size: 75g, 51 x 39.9 x 7.6 ~ 9.4 mm

Sony SmartWatch 3
Runners, hikers, and cyclists, stop looking, this is the Android Wear watch you need. Sony used its own OS for the previous generations, but embraced Android for SmartWatch 3, and we couldn’t be happier. The Sony SmartWatch 3 stands out through its onboard GPS module, which lets you track your activities without needing a smartphone that weighs you down. Just as easily, you can connect a pair of Bluetooth sports headphones and enjoy your music straight from the watch.
Available in black, white, pink, and lime, SmartWatch 3 looks as sporty as it acts. The rubber strap is non-standard, but at least you can swap it in a few seconds without any tools. The watch is IP68 water resistant and the screen is transflective LCD, which means you can read it more easily in the sun. All in all, a great choice for active use.
Specs
- Display: 1.6-in Transflective LCD 320 x 320 pixels
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2GHz
- RAM: 512MB
- Storage: 4GB
- Battery: 420 mAh
- Water protection: IP68
- GPS, NFC, IR
- Weight: 45g (core unit)
