Moto 360 EU availability expected in October

by on05 September 2014

11.5mm thick, 49 grams of Moto goodness

The Moto 360 is finally official, but Motorola has yet to disclose a few details that were not made public in the official announcement. 

We came across a few EU retail listings and they give us an idea of what to expect, at least when it comes to European consumers. As expected, the price is €249. Two retailers are listing October 9th as an availability date. This is not an official date, so take it with a pinch of salt. In any case it is not much of a wait, as Europeans are used to getting their gadgets a few weeks after they start shipping in the US.

The actual body of the watch measures 46mm x 11.5mm. We expected the 360 to end up on the thick side, but 11.5mm (0.45in) might be a tad too much for some people. Still, it is not much thicker than the old Qualcomm Toq, which is 9.96mm thick. The Moto 360 weighs 49g - and we are talking about the leather strap version, not the metal one.

Finally, here is the first official photo of the bundled charger, although some photos of the charger were leaked roughly a month ago. Of course, the Moto 360 does not feature any ports and it relies on Qi wireless chargers – this is the one that is going to ship with the watch.

We do not have the exact dimensions, but it looks relatively compact judging by the size of the USB port and the fact that it is designed to be roughly the same size of as the watch, i.e. around 45mm across. It’s not too big for frequent travellers and in any case they can also use a different Qi pad that could charge other devices as well.
