The Moto 360 smartwatch is back but it’s not made by Motorola this time around

The Moto 360 was amongst the pioneer Android Wear smartwatches when it debuted back in 2015. Motorola had two takes at smartwatches before deciding to call it quits in 2016 but now a company called eBuyNow decided to take up where Motorola left off and revived the Moto 360. The new smartwatch runs Wear OS and retains a similar design to the second-gen Moto 360 from 2017 but overhauls the internals.
