On Monday,\u00a0Android Headlines\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/motorola-moto-360-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">published<\/a> a handful of renders depicting the Moto 360 (2025), and it\u2019s \u2026 interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Design-wise, this new Moto 360 is a pretty standard affair. It has a round display with minute and hour markers on the bezel, a metal case (which is said to come in five colors), a side button, and a crown adorned with Motorola\u2019s iconic \u201cM\u201d logo. The model in this render is paired with a metal link bracelet, though the Moto 360 (2025) will presumably come with other band options, too.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a fine design, but it\u2019s also a bit boring. In a world where Google\u2019s Pixel Watch has its ultra-simplistic design, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-and-8-classic-hands-on-3575680\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung\u2019s new Galaxy Watch 8 lineup<\/a> has gone all-in on the squircle, and the OnePlus Watch 3 features its distinct \u201cbulge\u201d on the right side of the watch face, the Moto 360 (2025) looks safe by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Where things get even stranger is on the software front. While Motorola has continued to release smartwatches over the years (most recently with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/moto-watch-fit-pricing-3559136\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Moto Watch Fit<\/a>), its latest wearables have run Moto Watch OS \u2014 an RTOS similar to something like Amazfit\u2019s Zepp OS or Fitbit OS. As of now, it\u2019s unclear whether the Moto 360 (2025) will be powered by Motorola\u2019s custom RTOS or receive the full Wear OS treatment.\u00a0Android Headlines\u00a0goes so far as to suggest the new Moto 360 may feature a dual Wear OS + RTOS setup similar to the OnePlus Watch 3, but there\u2019s simply no way of knowing right now.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth mentioning that the Moto 360 (2025) will reportedly be manufactured by Motorola itself, unlike the Moto 360 (2019) reboot that was made by a third-party company (eBuyNow). That alone is reason enough to keep an eye on this latest attempt to resurrect the Moto 360, even if there\u2019s still such a big question mark looming over its operating system.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have to wait and see what comes of the Moto 360 (2025), but with the name suggesting a release before the end of the year (which has less than six months left in it), it shouldn\u2019t be too long before we know what\u2019s going on with Motorola\u2019s newest wearable.<\/p>\n<p>Got a tip?
