Is this the next-gen Moto 360 smartwatch?
Motorola’s next smartwatch may be coming soon… and now we have a pretty good idea of what it could look like.

The company posted a message on Twitter (which has since been deleted), showing a watch that looks kind of like the original Moto 360, except the crown is higher up than on the original and the lugs (the things where the watch band is attached) are larger.

OK, that could have just been a graphic design error… but it’s been about a year since the first Moto 360 was released, it’s been subject to a major price drop, we’ve seen numerous hints that new models are on the way… and now 9to5Google notes that two new Moto 360 devices just passed through the Brazilian equivalent of the FCC.

It sure seems like something’s about to happen.

The listings at Brazil’s Anetel wireless regulatory agency mention two different models, the 360S and the 360L. It seems likely that this means the watches will come in two sizes: small and large.

There aren’t a lot of other details, but the new models are said to feature Bluetooth LE support. 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and a 270 mAh battery in the smaller model and a 375 mAh battery in the larger version. The original Moto 360, by the way, had a 320 mAh battery.

One thing that doesn’t seem to have changed? If the deleted Tweet is accurate, it looks like the new phone will have a round display… but it’ll still have a “flat tire” look, thanks to a black bar at the bottom of the screen.

Trust me to buy the original Moto 360 a few months before the revised edition comes out. lol.
 
Well... I can only hope that it was just a teaser, and not the real deal... The flat tire doesn't bother me... But I really don't want it in my next watch. Hopefully the battery IS better, but I also hope that ALL internals are upgraded as well. Assuming it will have a sharper display, it better have a better battery. It wouldn't make sense if they didn't.

They need to have a speaker on it at the very least. A camera would be cool too, beat Apple to having a smartwatch capable of making video calls.
 
I honestly forget my watch even has the flat tire. If this is the next 360 (and all signs point to yes), nothing I see here is a dealbreaker. My 360 is chugging along just fine, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up this new model should I need to based simply on looks.

Now battery life, screen, etc... different matters. Hopefully we'll hear some details before too long.
 
If the New Moto 360 had Three Times the Battery Life or should I dare Ten Times Battery Life? Yes! I would easily pay some serious Cash for that!, Screen Resolution would be nice, but not a complete deal breaker...
What I really want is a case in which a common Interchangeability with Watchbands would be had so more options on that regard would be present.
I had a Casio Titanium Pathfinder Triple-Sensor Solar Powered Watch in battery life which is Forever!, as I have yet to change the battery in it?
Camera is just another thing which uses power, so unless it's a nuclear powered watch?... don't need it.
More sensors or better accuracy on screen touch is a welcomed addition.
