Motorola’s latest Android Wear watch is its first focused on fitness, though in practice it’s really only good for running.
The Moto 360 Sport is, at it’s core, a second-generation Moto 360, but with a few alterations. It’s got a body wrapped in a silicone strap, a GPS chip stuffed inside for smartphone-free exercising, and a new display that promises easy visibility in the sun. But while Motorola slapped the name “sport” on this watch, it’s really more a running watch than anything. Mediocre battery life and a design that screams fitness band compromise the Moto 360 Sport’s potential.
The Good
– Reflective display performs great in the sun
– Silicone body and strap built for fitness
– Integrated GPS for phone-free run tracking
The Bad
– Battery struggles to get through a day
– Fitness features underdeveloped
– Silicone picks up every piece of lint and hair
– Ambient display has no backlighting
Review Summary:
If you want a an Android Wear smartwatch with slightly-better-than-average fitness capabilities that might improve with future updates (though there’s no promise of that), then consider the Moto 360 Sport. But if you want anything more than rudimentary run-tracking support, your best bet right now is to stick with a dedicated fitness tracker. The Moto 360 Sport has trouble living up to its name and the potential of its hardware and software guts, and that makes it difficult to give a full-throated recommendation.
