The device’s screen size is 1.37-inch LCD with a pixel density of 263 ppi for the 42mm variant and a 1.56-inch LCD with a 233 ppi pixel density for the 46mm model.
The Guardian cites that the decision of Motorola to use an LCD display screen on the Moto 360 (2nd gen) instead of AMOLED, like what Samsung Gear and Huawei Watch possess, is a bit off. However, reports have claimed that animations with the smartwatch are more fluid compared to its predecessor.
The smartwatch’s low resolution when it is in ambient mode is a big letdown for users. But Motorola justifies that it was meant to prolong the battery life of the smartwatch.
Memory storage for the Moto 360 (2nd gen) goes as high as 4GB. The device also has an ambient light sensor and heart rate monitor. The device also has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating.
The second generation Moto 360 is priced from $299.99 to $429.99 depending on the variant. Comparing it to the Apple Watch, the Samsung Gear, or the Huawei Watch, the Moto 360 (2nd gen) is a great bargain especially for those who are just new to the smartwatch trend.
Other reviews have branded the second-generation Moto 360 an early adopter, which means that for its price range, it is still the best smartwatch out in the market today.
Other tech analysts say that the future smartwatches should be more high-tech and have a lot more to offer than today’s smartwatches. After all, the smartwatch industry is still in its early stages and it would not be surprising if, in the next few years, smartwatches will already be a necessity for everyone.
