Wear OS is still missing a major player, and now's the perfect time for a comeback

Quick Summary:

It's high time Motorola rejoined the Wear OS fold and revived that classic Moto 360 look instead of sticking to cheap squircle Moto Watches.

The common thread is that Google's 2021 Wear OS partnership with Samsung — and much-improved Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 hardware — righted a sinking ship and brought OEMs back into the fold.

But our original Moto 360 review gushed about its traditional round look at a time when the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live were square; this watch and the original Huawei Watch helped define "round" as the default Android watch look.It was far from perfect.
