Moto 360: Getting better all the time

Quicker access, new Moto Body features and better performance come to Moto 360.

With Google beginning to roll out new Android Wear software for your Moto 360 starting today, you’ll soon be able to access apps and contacts quicker, receive heads-up notifications when you’re using another app, and worry less about your battery for continuously running apps. We’re also adding some new Moto Body features that will make it even easier to make Moto 360 a part of your daily life.

Here's a look at what's new:

Scroll with Gestures

Flick your wrist to scroll forward or backward through your messages.

Instant Emoji Masterpieces

Admit it, life is more fun with emojis. Now you can simply draw something - a burger, a clock with time, a smiley face - and Moto 360 will transform it into an emoji to send to your friends and family.

Stay Connected with Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi, you’ll be able to use your Moto 360 when you are out of Bluetooth range from your phone.

Always-on Mode

Long running apps like fitness, lists and navigation will stay front and center. If they become inactive, though, this feature will keep displaying the app information in ambient mode.

Quick Access to Apps and Contacts

Just tap or swipe left for your app list and your favorites will float to the top. Two swipes left and your contacts can be reached with a quick tap of a finger for a call, text or e-mail.

Your Notifications

Notifications will no longer be exclusive to your home screen. Even if you're interacting with another app, you’ll see notifications appear at the bottom of the display. And they’ll be stored in your notifications stream for later use.

Moto Body

Moto Body has more choices and more ways to help you set and achieve your fitness goals. Options include an opt-in weekly e-mail summary to stay on top of your goals and the ability to set new calorie goals so you track.

Here’s more on what you can do with your Moto 360. And if you don’t have one of your own, head over to Moto Maker to customize and create your very own.

New Year, New You

Ah, 2015. A fresh, new start. Maybe you want to get in better shape, be more organized, or multitask better. Or maybe none of those things sound right and you just want to slow it down. It’s up to you. Here are four ideas to help you choose a new you in the New Year.

Choose to be You
Sometimes the right thing is to zig when everyone else is zagging. Don’t be afraid to strut who you really are with the dozens of colors, materials, and other personal customizations with your phone, Play around with Moto Maker and create a Moto X unique to you.

Choose to Be Healthy

There’s so much good food and good times at the holidays, but if you’re looking to the New Year to be healthier, Moto Body on Moto 360 may help you meet your goals. Effortlessly track your heart rate, activity level, and more.

Choose to Take It Easy

You’ve noticed something in the past year: your hands are always full. Enter Moto Hint, which allows you to control your phone with just your voice, so that you can give your hands a rest. And yes, you could totally talk to your phone from your exercise bike—or couch.

Choose to be Proactive
Maybe it’s Dad, an aunt or a buddy. They’re the voice of reason who always gives the sensible advice like protecting the new thing you love. Take that step and protect your new device in case the unthinkable happens and something injures your new baby.

What are your resolutions for the new year? Let us know on our Facebook, Google+, or on Twitter using the hashtag #motonewyear.

We’re introducing more choice for Moto 360. From new metal watches and a selection of interchangeable bands, to enhanced experiences that promote a healthier lifestyle, Moto 360 offers a diverse portfolio of modern timepieces.

New metal offerings

Moto 360 now comes with metal bands that are as durable as they are beautiful. Crafted from aircraft-grade stainless steel, these bands feature a modern, contemporary tri-link design that complements the round face of Moto 360. Starting today, Moto 360 with light and dark metal bands are available on motorola.com for $299. Coming soon, we will offer Moto 360 with new slim bands, which is an option for smaller wrists or for people who want a different look. Slim bands will be available in time for the holidays in light metal ($299) and a brand new champagne gold finish ($329).

New accessory bands

The new My Design watch face option allows you to customize everything from the background image to the style of the tick marks and watch hands. We’ve also added the watch face created by the winner of our Moto 360 Design Face-Off. These new watch face options will be available for all Moto 360 watches through an update on the Moto Connect app¹within the next few days.
