IFA 2015: Motorola Launches new Line of Sleek Moto 360 Variants; Price and Everything You Need to KnowMotorola Blog (Official) - Screen-shot

Lenovo owned Motorola Mobility has launched the second generation Moto 360 smartwatch in India on Tuesday (1 December).

The company has confirmed that Moto 360 (2nd Gen) price will range from Rs. 19,999 and Rs. 24,999.

However, there is no word on whether Moto 360 sport edition will be on sale, which is set to kick-off on Flipkart (and Myntra) later today at 7:30 pm in India.

For the uninitiated, Moto 360 (2nd Gen) was unveiled in September at the internationally acclaimed electronics trade fair Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) Berlin 2015, Germany.

It was launched with three variants: one aimed for men, another for women, and a sports edition.

Second generation, Moto 360 (Men) comes in two sub-variants in terms of size – 46mm and another slimmer 42mm model with 22mm and 20 mm wrist bands. The women's model is 42mm with a 16mm wrist band. 

Under the hood, they both house 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 SoC (System on chip), Adreno 305 graphics engine, 512MB RAM, 4GB inbuilt storage capacity, heart-rate monitor and slew of health related apps via Moto body app. Interesting thing to note that new Moto 360 models come pre-compatible to iPhone devices as well. The company is also evaluating options to sync device to Apple Health kit app well.

New Moto 360 Sport:

This limited edition smartwatch boasts pretty much the same hardware seen in the original model, but comes with some exclusive features such as built-in GPS modem to track speed, distance and pace. And it also boasts strong silicone construction with special UV coating to wear-off moisture and help prevent staining and colour fading (comes in black, white and orange options).

Another key aspect of Moto 360 Sport is the 'AnyLight' screen, touted to be world's hybrid display that can automatically adapt to the level of natural light around the user.

People can enjoy a traditional LCD screen for maximum readability. Then when you are out for a run, natural light is reflected to improve readability, especially in bright or sunny conditions, claims Motorola.
