The Moto 360 is the Motorola smartwatch that we could see at the IFA fair in Berlin and that was presented internationally. A great smart watch that will allow us enjoy the full Android Wear experience pairing it with our Android phone.
You recently received a system update that has doubled the battery life of the watch, which has led many users to report how their Moto 360 smartwatch is reaching 30 hours of autonomy without the need to charge it.
Solved one of his biggest handicaps
All the major complaints received on the Moto 360 are about its short battery life, which has resulted in most users having to charge the smartwatch before the end of the day.
Something quite harmful, since we are wearing on our wrist an object that is supposed to work, and having it turned off without being able to use it, is reason enough to take it off and store it in our pocket or backpack.
This new update now allows reach 30 hours of autonomy, so those who are waiting for the availability of the 360 will surely be glad of this news, since we are facing one of the first Android Wear smartwatches that does have a good appearance as a watch.
The battery of the Moto 360
At the time the Moto 360 was launched, the battery it had was known, nothing more than 300 mAh.
Battery capacity and some immediate reviews seemed anticipate the blow that would be about to suffer Motorola at the time that this smartwatch was on the windows of most stores around the world.
Finally, these reviews that anticipated the worst of the Moto 360, were false, and the Moto 360, in the countries where it is already available, is having very good sales. And more than that, due to the "magic" recovery of battery life with the KGW42R update.
KGW42R update
If for whatever reason, you already have the Motorola smartwatch available on your wrist, don't take long to update it with the KGW42R update. A new version that brings new panel controls and that ensures that the Bluetooth connection is not used as assiduously, resulting in an increase in this part of the battery.
At the time you have KGW42R, it is advisable that Ambient Mode is disabled on the watch. This must be done to reach 30 hours of autonomy, although it can be left activated, since this mode has also received some adjustments. It will dim the screen and a clock will appear for the time, optimized for the battery, although it will not offer the same autonomy as if it is in the off mode.
This battery improvement news will be a good reason if you were still not sure of your purchase, since those 30 hours of autonomy sound very good for a wearable device of this type.
