The platform also implements various voice commands for sending a text, opening an app, searching something on Google etc. The basics remain the same, with the platform incorporating simple gestures for navigation and mirroring notifications from your paired smartphone along with letting you take a few actions. The Moto 360 2nd gen runs on the Android Wear (v1.3 based on Android 5.1.1) platform, which has gone through various updates since the original Moto 360 launched but still feels like a work in progress. ![]() Overall, the Moto 360 2nd gen’s display is good but not impressive enough. However, we did face issues with touchscreen responsiveness, which was inconsistent throughout. Overall, the LCD display is sharp and sufficiently bright and Motorola has packed a “brightness boost” feature for better sunlight visibility. The IPS LCD display on the Moto 360 2nd gen is good enough but we wished for an OLED display, which is used in most popular smartwatches these days like Apple Watch, LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch due to its deep blacks and vibrant colors. The LG G Watch R features a circular display and it does not have a black bar at the bottom, so here’s hoping Motorola fixes this in the next iteration. The “shelf” or the black bar, as we see it, might be housing important sensors but it certainly ruins the beauty of the circular display. While the display quality has improved, the “flat tyre” (as angry fans call it) or “shelf” (as Motorola calls it) at the bottom remains a deal breaker for us. The smartwatch features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch and shatter resistance. On the new Moto 360, the smaller size features a 1.37-inch display (360 x 325 pixels, 263 ppi) and the larger size features a 1.56-inch display (360 x 330 pixels, 233 ppi). The original Moto 360 was panned for not featuring a great looking display and Motorola has tried to fix that with the Moto 360 2nd gen. So, if you are getting the Moto 360 for the looks, you will not be disappointed but take good care of those leather bands. The looks of a watch depends upon the wearer, considering it’s a personal accessory but we are sure you will agree when we say that the Moto 360 is a handsome looking smartwatch. According to us, if there’s any other smartwatch that comes close to it on the looks front is Huawei Watch. Another good news is, unlike the first gen, the new Moto 360 features easily detachable straps. It is also rated IP67 for water resistance (up to 1 meter and 30 minutes) but it’s important to note that the watch case is water resistant, which does not apply to the leather bands. On the hardware front, the Moto 360 still packs in the heart rate sensor on the back among other sensors like accelerometer, ambient light sensor, haptics and pedometer. However, the watch feels supremely comfortable to wear, if that’s your concern. Also, the stainless steel metal case remains thick like last year, which might irk some people. We had the basic black leather band and it’s the most affordable one but there’s no excuse for the band looking old & weary in a couple of days usage. Firstly, we aren’t really fans of the leather bands’ quality. While it does look great, it isn’t without its flaws. The metal case and sleek looking bezels do give the smartwatch a distinct personality, which no other smartwatch can boast of. The watch looks beautiful in the pictures and it looks gorgeous up front. No matter what design or style you choose, the Moto 360 is an attractive looking smartwatch and there are no doubts about that. Furthermore, you can also customize the color of the stainless steel case & bezel and choose from different bands (leather and metal) at Motorola’s Moto Maker website. The new sizes are a welcome change, considering the older Moto 360 felt huge on most hands. The women’s version comes only in the 42 mm size and the bands are also narrower. There are two sizes: big (46 mm) and small (42 mm) along with separate versions for men and women. Unlike last year, the Moto 360 2nd generation comes in different sizes and styles.
