Motorola seems to be planning to launch three new Moto 360 smartwatches including one that's sporty at IFA in Berlin, as reported by the popular gadget-leaking Twitter account Upleaks.
According to Engadget, the Moto 360 leaked press image/render shows that the Moto Sport will be available in three colors that still bears the identical circular face and feared "flat tire" appearance. The bands on the active model said don't take the same pins too, as the leaked 2015 unit, so, it brings curiosity whether the straps can be swapped out easily.
A separate report from the Android Central indicated that Motorola's upcoming smartwatch will only come in two different sizes, two different colors (black and silver) with two different bands (black metal link and brown leather).
Aside from that, the site has also seen a more old-fashioned external lug mounts than the Moto 360 (First Gen), Android Wear driving things, the side button moved up the side. The latest device said acquired its predecessor's "flat tire" black bar across the bottom to house the ambient light sensor that will automatically adjust brightness on the otherwise circular display.
Last year, the Moto 360 came on the smartwatch scene, and rapidly made itself different by offering a round screen, which gives it an appearance like a typical analog watch than opposing devices. At that time, rectangular screens were very noticeable to almost all other smartwatches, similar to the Apple Watch. The smart watch that starts at $150, sent to the customer's selection of several band styles.
However,even if the Moto 360 has a unique design, it is said that the has done little to fend off the Apple Watch onslaught.
Based on @Upleaks statement, the Moto 360 (2nd Gen) will be launched sometime in September, and will be succeeded by the Moto 360 Sport in November. However, the specs and pricing details weren't provided.
