Android wear is the new trend succeeding the Smartphones era and taking over the interest of the Tech-geeks. Wearable devices are the most anticipated gadgets over the past couple of years, thanks to the Science-fiction movies which excited the minds of the geeks with the fancy wearable smart devices. However, the real-life wearable devices are not that advanced, but you can get the sneak-peak of the future. Quite a few Smartwatches were launched this year, one being the Moto 360 which is most popular smartwatch of all.
Moto 360 is the Wearable device from Motorola with a beautiful round dial and stunning looks. The dial of the Moto 360 is a bit thick than its competitors but is more compact and premium. But like any other Android device, the Moto 360 also got enthusiasts who want to root it and get the maximum power on their wrist. Since the wearable device technology is at the inception, the developers should be a bit careful while doing the trails. I guess no one would want their precious Moto 360 to be bricked so quickly.
