Moto 360 smart watch chief designer revealed product details Motorola Moto 360 smart watch chief designer Jim Wicks hosted a hangouts video ring chat about the product's ideas, details, etc. Motorola did not disclose much of the parameters and details of Moto 360, but Wicks's demo in front of the camera showed that Moto 360 does work, not just a lofty ambition, which makes many people eager to have a Moto 360 smart watch. The round dial wicks the round dial of the Moto 360: According to my inaccurate calculations, he said at least 1000 rounds. The purpose of the round dial is to allow users to accept this concept, rather than selling them unfamiliar things to users. Wicks says that 85% of watches are round dials, and people also preset watches with round dials. Wicks also pointed out that the design of a round dial to show a long history of time. "We're going to push this technology to consumers, not vice versa." We are not trying to get consumers to change for this technology. "This is a reasonable view that most smart watches today think consumers will find their intrinsic value, but Motorola is using consumer-accepted designs to lower entry thresholds." Familiarity may be the best way to get smart watches into the mainstream consumer population. Like material and comfort, the Moto 360 team wanted to make equipment with high quality comfort materials, making it easier to accept, so they chose stainless steel and a natural leather strap. The user can also change the strap, and Wicks also mentions a different strap to fit the smaller wrist. Wicks said that it was convenient for users to replace the Moto 360 smart watch, but did not say it would be compatible with the existing strap, which made me wonder that they would use a proprietary connector between the strap and the watch, just as Pebble did to Pebble Steelcompany. The overall design of the Moto 360Moto 360 is also aimed at comfort, which is part of the reason they choose a round dial. Wicks said that the same size of the square dial will make the wrist indentation, so the Moto 360 design into a circle will make the user more comfortable to wear. In addition, the screen becomes easier to read, the random information is displayed in the middle, and the UI elements are around to keep the user focused. The UI of the Moto 360 is rotatable, no matter which wrist you wear. parameters, compatibility, and release time Wicks did not disclose too much information about the parameters of the Moto 360 smart watch, but said Moto 360 was waterproof, without an external charge or data interface. Instead, the Moto 360 charge is now kept secret, and I estimate either inductive wireless charging or motion charging. The battery is also the focus of attention, but Wicks does not say Moto 360 of the battery can support how long. But he revealed that Moto 360 of the design team (also designed by the droid RAZR and Moto X) learned a lot about energy management in MOTOACTV, which has been applied to Moto X. Moto 360 intelligently displays notifications while retaining long battery life. Moto 360Wicks confirmed that the Moto 360 smart watch will not be equipped with a camera, which will also help to conserve electricity. It looks like the design of Moto 360 is all about presenting the relevant text information on the smartphone when the user needs it, rather than stuffing it in such a small space as possible. The price of the Moto 360 smart watches has not been announced, but Motorola says it will be available for sale at specific times after the summer. As for device compatibility, Motorola says Moto 360 will be compatible with "all Motorola Android smartphones" and compatible with any device running Android version 4.3. (translation: Jing)
