When Motorola took the wraps off their upcoming Moto 360,
Android fans everywhere were drooling over the smartwatch’s fashionable
design. Since then, we’ve seen the smartwatch appear in a variety of
teasers, with a larger than life prototype appearing on the Android
Developers page and the Moto 360 even making a brief appearance on Jimmy
Fallon. We know Motorola is looking to launch the smartwatch soon, but
one detail that’s had everyone guessing (aside from its specs) is the
watch’s price.
It was yesterday we learned the full specs of LG G Watch — a fellow Android Wear competitor — as well as the price, launching at a sub $200 price point. Today, UK retailer Mobile Fun
has it on good authority that the Motorola Moto 360 will launch at
£199.99, which roughly translates to about $336.58. It’s tough to say if
Motorola will bring that price down to an even $300 in the US, but we’d
have to say that pretty much falls in line with what we were expecting
from the premium smartwatch.
Both the LG G Watch and Motorola Moto 360 will be running Google’s
newly announced Android Wear platform for wearables, an extended version
of the Android notification panel we all love (and Apple is slowly
assimilating). We expect Google will reveal much more about the
mini-Android OS during this year’s Google I/O, where they could be handing out LG G Watches to the show’s attendees.
