14 DAY TRIAL // I've written about the Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch repeatedly, whenever something new cropped up about it, even if it was a (still unconfirmed) disappointing rumor that it would be made of plastic instead of metal.
Now, I have good news to relay. While I'm still not sure about the metal/plastic mystery, it seems that the existence of two other assets has, at least, been confirmed.
One is the Heart Rate sensor, which allows the Moto 360 to act the part of a fitness tracker band.
The other is the wireless charging technology. It's not like anyone was going to think it wasn't there after so many weeks of hype raised around it, but it's good to have confirmation, such as it is.
The wireless charging technology relies on a technique called “magnetic induction.” According to Mister Gadget, the Moto 360 should last for two and a half days on a single charge (2.5 times longer runtime than for the LG G Watch).
Notable about this newest report and hands-on gallery is that the back side of the watch is finally seen (it's what confirmed the existence of the recharge tech actually). Pedometer functionality, the round OLED display, and an ambient light sensor are the other “confirmed” assets.
