Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch Update Brings New Watch Faces, Customised Moto Body Health App: Check It Out Now

An update to Motorola's Moto 360 smartwatch is now seeding, and the latest enhancement brings along new features.

First up, the Moto Connect app has been improved, and brings eleven new round watch faces for users to choose from. Users can now change the watch hand, background colours and also choose different time zones in dials.

The new update also makes it possible to create personalised watch faces by manually uploading pictures.

Next, there is the Moto Body that helps users keep track of steps, distance, amount of calories burned during an activity and the heart rate.

Moto Body is similar to Google Fit, and suggests activity goals. The best part about Moto Body is that it provides 'coaching advice' to users based on frequent activities.

All the above features are part of the Motorola Connect application which can be downloaded from the Google Play app repository.

The Motorola Connect package works with the following devices:

• Motorola 360
• Motorola Power Pack Micro 1500
• Motorola Keylink
• Motorola Connect PC Extension available on Moto X, Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini smartphones
