The Moto 360: A Smartwatch I can live with.

Is it just me, or is Motorola on a roll here?

First they introduce the Moto X, which blew us away with its sleek design and user friendly experience, then they come out with the budget friendly Moto G, that gave us a great experience for a great price. Now, we have the Moto 360.

Oh hell to the yes!

A smartwatch that actually looks like a watch? Yes please.

While we still don't know too much about this new piece of hardware, what we do know is that this product is running Google's newly announced "Android Wear"; an OS specifically made for wearable tech. If you want to see AW in action, here it is.

What we also know is that this device will be heavily into Google Now for general functionality, thanks to AW. That alone will be a treat because Google Now will just work well with wearables.

The only thing that will be the iffy part is the price. How much will the Moto 360 be? Hopefully it will be affordable enough to encourage the average user to buy it. See I say that because many people skip the smartwatch because they're either too expensive or riddled with UI complications and useless features (Seriously Samsung, who the hell wants a camera on a smartwatch?)

Anyways, this might be the first smartwatch I buy if Motorola plays their cards right and delivers this perfectly. Here's hoping!
