Moto 360 is Priced at $249 as Per Best Buy Leak; Detailed Specs Revealed as Well

Motorola is all set to launch the Moto 360 officially on September 4th at an event in Chicago, but someone at Best Buy seems to have hopelessly jumped the gun and published detailed specifications of this Android Wear watch, complete with the pricing.

There have been a lot of leaks and rumors surrounding the Moto 360, some of which indicated a $400 pricing, but as per Best Buy’s listing, the smartwatch will be priced at a relatively affordable figure of $249.99. Droid-life was the first one to catch this boo-boo from Best Buy, and the page has since vanished from the portal.

As for the specifications, most things match with what we have been hearing for a long time. The Moto 360 comes with a 1.5-inch backlit LCD touch screen, with a 320×290 resolution, 205ppi, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3. Like the Samsung Gear Live, the Moto 360 will carry a Heart Rate Monitor and will be water resistant up to 3.3 feet. Surprisingly, the watch is powered by a Texas Instruments chipset inside, along with 512MB of RAM.

What’s missing though, is the mention of Qi wireless charging feature along with a charging cradle which was widely rumored few days back. But the mention of a plastic back still keeps our hopes intact. Also, there is no mention of the battery capacity, but we expect the Moto 360 to last much longer than the Samsung Gear Live and LG G watch.
