Motorola Moto 360 2 Rumors: 'Flat-Tire' Design Flaw Could Make Comeback in Smartwatch Successor
Last year, everyone was pretty excited for Motorola to unleash its first ever smartwatch, and one that did not have angles unlike those unveiled by Sony, Samsung and LG earlier that year.
However, those same people who were excited about the device were disappointed when they found out that the circular design has its consequences. The flat-tire design.
According to an earlier statement by Motorola, a small portion below the smartwatch screen needed to left out because it is where the touch sensors are located.

However, other companies who followed suit to the circular smartwatch revolution have already proven that the touch sensors can be placed in the smartwatch without having to sacrifice a small portion of the display.
Unfortunately, a new report by Phone Arena stated that Motorola Mobility has just posted a short video of what appears to be the successor of the Motorola Moto 360.
Based on the short clip, the new Moto 360 2 was showcased and some features were shown as well. However, in the video, it was evident that the "flat-tire" design is still present.
While this may cause some concern to potential buyers of the device, most of the device's looks are still similar to the original, with a few minor changes.
The crown of the watch looks like it is raised slightly higher from the screen than its predecessor. The lugs, the portion that connects the watch to the straps, have also been made changed, although it may not bother most people.
In the Twitter post, the device's specs were not revealed, although there is reason to believe that the upcoming Moto watch should be announced some time next month. Lenovo, who owns Motorola, has been showing images of an unknown smartwatch for sometime, and this could be the new Moto 360 2.
