moto 360 Android Watch


The Moto 360 Sport was announced alongside the 2nd generation Moto 360, but we've had to wait a little longer to get our hands on it.The Moto 360 Sport is only the second Android Wear watch to feature GPS, following last year's Sony SmartWatch 3. The Moto 360 Sport is no Tag Heuer Connected. Let's get that out of the way now. In fact, as looks go, the Moto 360 Sport falls well behind the Fossil Q Founder, the LG Watch Urbane and the Huawei Watch. Heck, even the Asus ZenWatch 2 looks nicer when paired with a suit and jacket.
                                                                                             
Whatever colour you opt for, you'll get a strap that boasts a special UV coating to help fend off sweat, and features air vents at the side, like most GPS running watches, to keep your wrists cool while on the move.
You'll also get a strap that picks up dust and fluff like no other smartwatch we've come across. The black version, that we've used, is the most guilty of this grimy crime (as you can see in the pictures). Luckily, the Moto 360 Sport is IP67 water resistant, so you can give it a quick splash every now and again to clean it off.
 Motorola is making big noises about the display on the 360 Sport, claiming it's a world's first for the new hybrid tech. Labelled 'AnyLight', the 1.37-inch LCD display is naturally adaptable, with the idea being that it can be nicely backlit in dim lighting situations, as per any Android Wear smartwatch. It also means it's easily readable due to the natural reflective tech when out and about in sunnier conditions. The inclusion of GPS connectivity means users can go running, using running apps, such as Endomondo, Ghost Racer and RunKeeper, without needing to carry their smartphones with them. In theory, at least. While those apps now technically support tether-free smartwatch standalone running, they are buggy as hell and more often than not result in inaccurate measurements – mainly due to the sessions starting before the GPS is locked in
A much safer option, and the one Motorola wants you to use, is the built-in Moto Body software. Built in on the watch, you'll need to add the app to your Android smartphone. Unfortunately, there's no iPhone option just yet.

The Moto 360 Sport packs a 300mAh battery, which is good for a full day's regular use. Turn on GPS, however, and it will take a hammering. Saying that, we've had the 360 Sport fully charged in the morning, used it throughout the day, gone for a GPS tracked run of around an hour, and still had enough juice to last until bed time.
I used this wearable device and it really impressed me its design also. and its keeping me alive i would say that you should go for it.
