The Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch is possibly the most anticipated wearable device of 2014, yet we actually know remarkably little about it. Apart from the fact we know it will be running Android Wear as an operating system and has an ambient light sensor that differentiates it from the other Android Wear watches, we don’t really know what’s going on under the bonnet of that beautiful, round watchface. A big criticism of its Android Wear stable mates, the Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch, is that their battery life is dismal, only lasting about a day, something that is becoming a depressing standard among smartwatches. The Moto 360 battery life, however, may be up to 2.5 times better than that after Italian blogger, Luca Viscardi, suggested his prototype Moto 360 lasts up to two and a half days.
This would be a significant feather in the cap of the Moto 360 if this turns out to be true on the full production model, as smartwatches developed by phone manufacturers have erred on the side of inconvenient thanks to their lacking battery life. We’ve heard that the Moto 360 also makes use of Qi-wireless charging to recharge its battery, another major concern with the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, so it seems like the Moto 360 has dealt with the major concerns of its main competitors. This isn’t to say that the Moto 360 won’t have its own issues, but it is look pretty good.
What do you think of a two and a half day battery life for the Moto 360? Let us know your thoughts.
