There are a lot of mobile fans that are excited for the Moto 360, and apparently Best Buy is included in that group, because today the retailer prematurely put up a product page for Motorola’s Android Wear offering with pricing and spec information.
According to Best Buy, the Moto 360 will cost $249.99, a price that sounds about right for the device. To compare, the Samsung Gear Live costs $199.99 and the LG G Watch is $229.99. In exchange for your $250, you’ll get a Moto 360 with the following specs:
- Compatible with most devices with an Android 4.3 or later operating system: For wide-ranging use.
- Bluetooth 4.0 technology: Enables wireless syncing to select devices for hassle-free connectivity.
- Voice activated: Allows you to use spoken commands to operate the smart watch via the built-in microphone.
- Vibration alert: Discreetly notifies you of important events.
- 1.5″ backlit LCD touch screen: With 320 x 290 resolution and 205 ppi makes it easy to navigate features and provides easy-to-read visuals. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 construction offers durability, and the adjustable brightness allows custom use.
- Built-in optical heart rate monitor (PPG): Helps you achieve or stay within your ideal heart rate range.
- Built-in pedometer: Measures the number of steps taken, so you can easily monitor your fitness progress throughout the day.
- Digital watch interface: Provides crisp, clear readouts of the time and date. Built-in alarm and calendar features help you stay on schedule.
- Waterproof up to 3.3′ for up to 30 minutes: So you can safely wear the watch while swimming or engaging in other aquatic activities.
- Stainless-steel case and plastic case back: Offer durability. The adjustable-length Horween leather band and metal buckle closure deliver a secure, comfortable fit.
- Built-in lithium-ion battery pack: Provides long-lasting operation. The battery-strength indicator lets you know when the battery needs to be powered via the included dock and charger.
- Texas Instruments processor: Helps ensure fast, efficient performance.
All of this information seems to be in line with what a lot of us expected from the Moto 360. Of course, we’ll have to wait for Motorola’s Sept. 4 event before we get the official rundown on the Moto 360, but you’re probably safe to begin counting out your 249,999 pennies now.
