Motorola considered releasing a budget version of the Moto 360

Motorola recently unveiled the successor to last year’s Moto 360 smartwatch, which comes in two variants that, while easily being some of the best smartwatches on the market, are a tad bit expensive with prices starting at $300. The two of them weren’t originally going to the only options, however, as a recent rumor suggests that Motorola was considering releasing a budget-friendly version of the Moto 360 as well. 

This past week Motorola announced two versions of its new Moto 360 smartwatch. It turns out the company had actually planned to release three versions of the smartwatch but had changed its mind last minute. The third version of the Moto 360 was supposed to be a value priced version of the smartwatch. This was going to be aimed at people who didn’t want to spend loads of money on a smartwatch yet. The value priced edition would have included a slightly different build.Including a cheaper design, bands of less quality and a different position for the power button. The smartwatch would have most likely been priced between $250-$300. We have no suspicions as to why Motorola decided to cancel the watch but some pictures popped up on what the design looked like.
