Motorola is reportedly planning to relaunch the Moto 360 smartwatch soon, and for fans of classic smartwatch design, that’s exciting news. The Moto 360, first introduced in 2014, was one of the most iconic Android Wear smartwatches with a round display, helping define what modern smartwatches could look like.
While Motorola is yet to confirm the arrival of the new model, online leaks are already giving us an early look. If the rumors are right, the Moto 360 (2025) is expected to go official later this year, marking Motorola’s return to a segment it helped pioneer.
Leaked Renders Hint at Classic Design with a Modern Touch
Thanks to a report from Android Headlines, we now have leaked renders offering the first glimpse of the new Moto 360 (2025). The images show the watch in a metal link band setup with the same familiar round display that fans loved. Despite launching the Moto Watch Fit earlier this year with a square face, Motorola seems to be going back to its roots here.
Interestingly, the Moto 360 (2025) features a crown at 2 o’clock and a button at 4 o’clock, a setup similar to what we saw on the OnePlus Watch 3. It’s a small change, but enough to give the watch a refreshed identity while keeping the signature Moto vibe intact.
Could We See a Dual-OS Smartwatch?
One of the more intriguing details comes from the watch face shown in the renders. While previous wearables like the Moto Watch Fit ran on Motorola’s Moto Watch OS, this new one appears to borrow visual elements from Wear OS. That has sparked speculation about a possible dual-OS setup — essentially combining Wear OS with its own Moto Watch OS — which would be a pretty unique move in the smartwatch space.
Multiple Colour Options and a Late 2025 Launch?
If reports are accurate, the Moto 360 (2025) will be available in five colour options, offering some variety for users who like their wearables to match their style. While nothing is official just yet, expectations are that Motorola will roll out the watch later this year.
A Bit of History: The Moto 360 Legacy
The original Moto 360 was introduced in 2014 and quickly became a favorite among Android users thanks to its elegant, circular design — a rarity at the time. It was one of the first Android Wear smartwatches to feature a round display, and Motorola followed it up with a second generation before discontinuing the product in 2017.
In 2019, the watch made a brief return through a licensing deal with eBuyNow, but that didn’t quite recapture the original buzz. Now, with the Moto 360 (2025) on the horizon and rumors of updated hardware and design, it feels like Motorola is ready to reclaim its spot in the smartwatch game.
Recent Launch: Moto Watch Fit
For context, the most recent wearable from the brand was the Moto Watch Fit, which debuted in April. It features a 1.9-inch OLED display, supports more than 100 fitness modes, and delivers battery life of up to 16 days. With an IP68-rated build, it’s clearly aimed at users who want both function and endurance in a sleek, daily-use package.
