Just last week, we mentioned a Moto 360 firmware update rolling out and we’re quick to note how it improved battery life among owners of the smartwatch. Over at an Android Wear Reddit page, Moto 360 users are reporting drastic improvements on battery life.
One user said he wore the Mote 360 for 14 hours and it still had 70 percent when he was about to charge it. Another one reported watch still had 53 percent left after 30 hours. People are commenting how battery is “much more efficient” and how battery life is “insane”, thanks to the new Android Wear software update. Some lags have also been fixed according to some Reddit members.
This is good news for Moto 360 users who’ve been clamoring for longer battery life but unfortunately, there’s no mention whether the screen burn-in issue has been fixed. Motorola and Google could still be working on it. Once the issue is screen issue is fixed, we’re guessing more people will consider buying the Android Wear-powered smartwatch.
As we earlier mentioned, the update is expected to also improve on Bluetooth connectivity between the Android device and the smartwatch. Hopefully, those momentary disconnects will be lessened, if not completely eliminated. A message to confirm that the smartwatch is charging will also be added.
I think we can all agree that the round smartwatch is beautiful and elegant. It looks like any ordinary wrist watch but Android Wear makes it hi-tech. Smartwatch was first shown off last June but it was only officially released last month. It’s been getting good reviews from early adapters except some are seeing burn-ins on their screens and Bluetooth connectivity getting disconnected at times.

I don’t think any of us were “clamoring for better battery life.” myself and l the other owners I’ve talked to have all said, basically it gets them at least close to 24 hours and that’s fine, though I did notice the battery improvement after the update and I was still delighted.
I agree, I’m not clammoring either. But I’m pleased with the improvements already.
this update is like night and day iv never seen an update make such an improvement on a device
