Of all of the Android Wear devices that have been announced, the Moto 360 is arguably the most hyped device of the bunch. Many people are excited for the 360 because not only will it be a solid Android Wear device, but because it looks great for a watch. The rounded design and aesthetics of the device continue to look impressive, especially compared to the typically-square designs of other smartwatches.

Motorola very easily could have followed suit and gone with a square design, but from the beginning they had the round design in mind and they've stuck to it. On the Motorola blog, they've uploaded a short video where the lead product designer, Lior Ron, discusses the inspiration behind making the Moto 360 look great. It's only about a minute long, so it's definitely worth watching.

Are you still waiting on the Moto 360, or have you already committed to the LG G Watch or Samsung Gear Live?

  1. That’s actually a decent looking watch unlike the crap LG and Samsung are making that look like the $2 watches they sell in the dollar store.

  2. Lol what else could the “inspiration” of its shape be other than the fact that watches are circular…?
