Best Buy Leaks Moto 360 Specs, Price

Motorola's new Moto 360 smartwatch has yet to have its public unveiling, but Best Buy has gone ahead and spilled the beans by (accidentally?) releasing the device's features and price.

Whoops.

A product page for the Moto 360, perhaps accidentally launched a bit too early, notes that Motorola's smartwatch will arrive at $250. That's a bit more expensive that the two other Android Wear smartwatches, the Samsung Gear Live ($200) and the LG G Watch ($229), but perhaps that owes to the Moto 360's slightly more elegant design. The face of the device is a perfect circle, which is a bit more watch-like than a big, chunky rectangle attached to a band.

Of course, there are also the features. According to Best Buy, the Moto 360 will come with a 1.5-inch backlit LCD touch screen running at a 320-by-290 resolution (205 pixels per inch). The smartwatch's face will be protected by Gorilla Glass 3—sorry, sapphire glass fans.

The Moto 360 will support Bluetooth 4.0 and work with "most devices" running Android 4.3 or later. A built-in microphone will let owners yell voice commands at their wrists to fire up a number of the watch's functions. An integrated heart-rate monitor and pedometer will undoubtedly allow for a bit of fitness-tracking functionality; the watch is even waterproof up to three feet or so for 30 minutes, in case you'd rather swim than run.

An unknown Texas Instruments processor will power the device, which also comes with 512MB of memory. There's no GPS in the watch, but there is wireless-n connectivity and an ambient light sensor—presumably so the Moto 360 can adjust its brightness on the fly and conserve as much battery life as possible.

Best Buy's page doesn't indicate how long that battery life might be, however, only that the Moto 360 will be packing a lithium-ion battery. That little bit is the critical piece of the puzzle—who wants to have to recharge their watch every 12 hours?

The Moto 360's availability is listed as "coming soon," which we can only presume to mean "after Motorola officially debuts it." Google has hinted that the smartwatch will arrive at some point this summer, and Motorola will likely debut the watch at a press event on Sept. 4.

And it goes without saying: Product pages have been wrong in the past. The final specifications for the Moto 360 might differ slightly from what Best Buy has listed, as might the device's final price.
