It’s taken nearly a month, but the round Moto 360 smartwatch is finally joining some other Android Wear devices with support for the latest software update. It’s rolling out to owners now, and adds features like the ability to connect directly to WiFi even if your phone is out of Bluetooth range, apps that stay visible until they’re dismissed (especially useful for maps and to-do lists) and the ability to draw your own emoji right on the screen. Wearers can even scroll through info on the screen without touching it, simply by rotating their wrists. We felt like the Moto 360 was the best Android Wear device you could get nine months ago, and this update may help it keep up with the pack at its reduced price — if it hits your wrist let us know how things are going.
Welcome Wi-Fi connectivity to your #Moto360 and say hello to our newest update. Learn more: http://t.co/3CMxGBhdC8 pic.twitter.com/Gi0mCsvQIH
