Rumours are never an exact science, but we like to think that rumours coupled with history make some pretty accurate predictions. Unfortunately, our predictions for an announcement of the new Moto 360 did not come true at Google I/O 2015 with the event winding up today, which poses the question: when are we going to see the new Moto 360? We had thought an announcement was imminent as a Motorola device codenamed BTMW03 visited Bluetooth SIG just two weeks ago – spin the clocks back one year, and a Motorola device codenamed BTMW01 visited Bluetooth SIG days before it was announced by Motorola, and took on a starring role at Google I/O 2014.
Here’s what else we think know so far. The new Moto 360 is internally codenamed “Smelt”, after the delta smelt species of fish – the original Moto 360 was codenamed “Minnow”, which is probably somewhat of a lingering artifact from Motorola’s time under Google. We’ve also had suggestions that the new Moto 360 would be announced “early” in 2015, but with June bearing down on us, “early” seems like it’s going out the door pretty quick. At this point, with many of our previous rumours fading away, we’re stumped as to when Motorola might be making an announcement for the new Moto 360, so we’ll just have to go back to being patient.
When do you think the new Moto 360 is going to be announced? Let us know your guess in the comments below.
