Moto 360 Sport review: Solid smartwatch, subpar workout tool

The original Moto 360 was the first Android Wear watch to get people really excited about the platform. The second was a thoughtful update, if not exactly a game-changer. And now we have a third, the new Moto 360 Sport, which has a slightly different...

Hybrid" display works great ; GPS does a respectable job tracking runs ; Lightweight and comfortable

Can't swap out the watch band ; Could use more physical controls ; Battery life could have been better

The Moto 360 Sport doesn't stray too far from the path this year's other Moto 360s took, but goodies like its AnyLight hybrid display make it great watch for the outdoors. It's plenty snappy for an Android Wear watch, too -- we just wish the hardware...

Moto 360 review: It's the best Android Wear watch, but that isn't saying much

The Moto 360 is the most attractive Android Wear device you can buy right now, with a design that's more reminiscent of a regular watch. Even so, it suffers from poor battery life, just like other early smartwatches, and it has a higher price, too.

Beautiful design ; Comfortable and lightweight ; Leather and metal straps ; Ambient light sensor ; Wireless charging

Terrible battery life ; Large size isn't for everyone ; Pricey for an Android Wear watch ; Charging cradle doesn't come with a USB cable

With its stylish good looks, comfortable feel and overall premium build, the Moto 360 is the Android Wear watch to beat. When it comes to design, at least, it outclasses everything else on the market. Aside from aesthetics, the 360 offers many of the...

Moto 360 Sport review: Don't be fooled by the name -- it's not for athletes

The added GPS and impressive display on the Moto 360 Sport don't justify the high-price.

The Moto 360 Sport has GPS for tracking pace and distance when running, and a display that is easy to read in different environments.

Battery life is dreadful; running features are limited; expensive compared to similar GPS watches; Android Wear still feels like a work in progress.

The Moto 360 Sport offers no compelling justification for you to buy it versus one of the many competing dedicated smart running watches.

The Moto 360 could have been the best smartwatch

It's good-looking, but it's not good enough: after wearing it for a month, Motorola's watch still isn't what we hoped for. Our full review.

The Moto 360's distinctive round design and premium materials look sharp. It's lightweight and comfortable, and it doubles as a bedside clock with its clever included inductive charging cradle.

Its battery life is not good enough for a watch. Its Android Wear software is awkward and not entirely useful, its fitness features are lacking, and its round display has a weird black bar at the bottom.

The Moto 360 tries to be the ultimate smartwatch, but it just ends up being a better-looking Android Wear watch with some notable limitations.

Motorola Moto 360 Stone Leather Band

Motorola's Moto 360 was the first draw-dropping wearable concept of 2014 when it was teased back in March: a round watch running futuristic Google software, it seemed like a device descended from the middle future. Clearly, this was the next wave of...

Relatively sophisticated design ; Wireless dock makes charging easy ; Legible outdoors

Too big for many wrists ; Battery life is a deal-breaker ; Annoying glitches abound

Weak battery life, technical glitches and a bulky frame mar Motorola's first smartwatch.

Motorola Moto 360

Motorola's Moto 360 is the best-looking smartwatch you can get right now, and Android Wear works surprisingly well considering how young the OS is, but the single-day battery life and lack of waterproofing might deter some.

Beautiful design. Premium materials. Snappy performance. Runs Android Wear. Compatible with any Android device running 4.3 or higher

Voice recognition needs work. Weak battery life. Display could be sharper. Not waterproof

Advertently or not, manufacturers releasing smartwatches running Android Wear are technically wristwatch designers. For the most part, they're leaving the operating system and its functionality in Google's able, OS-developing hands. Motorola...

Gorgeous design ; Great voice recognition ; Round is the right form factor ; Nice, interchangeable straps

Frustrating battery life ; Round display causes some software awkwardness

Moto 360 Sport Review Part II: what no other device has

While my first inclination was to title this post "what no other smartwatch has", that just wouldn't be accurate. What we've got here is a bona-fide piece of technology in the Moto 360 Sport that's never been released in any device before. Here,...
