Moto 360 by Motorola will feature a plain round faced design and according to the makers, the new smartwatch gets its exclusive look from the premium quality materials used in the production process.

The device, which runs Google's wearable software, will go on sale this summer, starting with the U.S., Motorola said in a blog post.

"The wristwatch has been through several evolutions since it first became a popular fashion accessory more than a 100 years ago. From mechanical to electronic movements, analog to digital faces, the wristwatch has been reinvented several times over, but the basic design has endured for a century because of its elegance and usefulness 'at a glance.' Our vision for Moto 360 was to celebrate that history as we reimagined the wristwatch for the future." Motorola said

It will do the same kinds of things as other Android Wear devices, such as offering up notifications and status updates and providing voice-controlled queries just by saying "Okay, Google."
