Moto 360 Release Date, Price, Specs, And Review: Motorola Officially Unveiled First Round Smart Watch [PHOTO]

Motorola announced the Moto 360 yesteday at their press event in Chicago, here are all the price, specs and details. 

First thing, the Moto 360 will cost 249 dollars. It is currently availble online or at Best Buy, but are selling out fast. 

The Verge, got some hands on time with the device and had this to say, " There's an understated elegance to this device. It's utterly without flash or flair, but it's classy as can be. Its leather strap, made by Chicago tannery Horween, is high-end and comfortable - and not just compared to the plasticky, rubber straps on other smartwatches. Its round, stainless steel shell (which comes in black or silver) sits neatly on my wrist, without sticking out off the sides of my arm and knocking against my desk or catching on my sleeve. It's lighter than it looks (just 1.7 ounces), smaller than it looks, more comfortable than it looks. At 11.5mm, it's a little thick for my taste, but it still feels good on my wrist. It feels like the watches I've always worn. It's tough enough to wear in the shower or get dirty with, and I stopped worrying about it or fidgeting with it as soon as I got it working... IT'S THE JON HAMM OF SMARTWATCHES"

"The Moto 360 feels different from any of its competitors. In many ways, it feels like the first real smartwatch. Everything before it was a screen on your wrist, a mini-tablet made to bring you easy notifications. Those are a warped evolution of computers, not watches. But the Moto 360 is to a sundial as the iPad is to a stone tablet: it's the same, only completely different. Better. Swapping my Seiko for a Moto 360 involved zero cognitive effort, no idle touching of my wrist because it feels different now. It just fits."
