The Moto 360 — a smartwatch with a degree of style

HANDY: The Moto 360 smartwatch comes with a wireless charging dock.

After six months of hype and sneak peeks, Motorola has finally taken the wraps off its first smartwatch, the Moto 360, so called because of its classically circular face. 

And it's classicism, not technology, that's the key to understanding the timepiece. Because when the premium materials are stripped away, the Moto 360 — like all smartwatches that use Google's new Android Wear operating system — is essentially an extension of your smartphone's display.
