Early Moto 360 review reveals more details about Motorola's new wearable

The Motorola Moto 360 is considered the most premium of the three Android Wear devices launched by Google and coming later this year. Moto 360 is the only one conforming to a round face and also features various pluses that make it the Android device worth waiting for. A lucky reviewer, Luca Viscardi, over at Mister Gadget has had an early review of the device and has revealed some interesting tidbits.

The Moto 360's battery life is good for two and a half days, its display works well under bright sunlight, it has an iP7 water resistance rating, it will charge 'wirelessly' via a Qi charger and it seems there is a black bar at the bottom of the screen that's somewhat persistent and which encroaches on the illusion that the 360's face is perfectly round. Aside from these insights, Luca has posted some images of the Moto 360 as well. Is this the Android Wear device you've been waiting for and do these revelations change your initial perception of the smart watch? Let us know.
