Yesterday was a big day for Android as Google unveiled the future of their smartwatch platform w/ Android Wear.  The star of the show was Motorola’s take on it w/ its rounded display and premium-looking build.  Earlier today, Motorola took to Google Hangouts to discuss the Moto 360 in a bit more detail.  It wasn’t much but here’s what we got from it.

  • It will support Motorola and other Android devices running OS 4.3 and higher.
  • In regards to charging, there’s no USB port present but there will be some form of wireless charging.  With Motorola it could be more than just a Qi-based wireless charging method.
  • You can expect decent-to-great battery life thanks to the lessons learned from the company’s previous fitness/smartwatch attempt called the ACTIV.  This played a part in the Moto X’s battery and power management systems.
  • Don’t expect a camera on board (Thank God).
  • The watch will be water-resistant (not water-proof).

They didn’t get into any juicy details like specs or pricing but a few gems to add onto the little we know about it.

If you missed the Hangout, you can watch the replay when you hit the link.
