According to rumors goingaround the internet, the next version of the Moto 360 will feature a higher resolution display and different straps. The codename of the new watch is “Smelt.”

Success

The watch was a huge success last year, leading among Android Wear devices. A few months after its release, total shipments for Android Wear devices reached 720,000, which is 15 percent of the 4.6 million wearable devices shipped.
