Pros & Cons

    • Attractive, sporty design.
    • Built-in GPS and heart rate sensor.
    • Comfortable band.
    • Only tracks running.
    • Heart rate sensor is sometimes inaccurate.
    • Poor battery life in testing.
    • Android Wear still needs work.

The $299 Motorola Moto 360 Sport is an athletic-minded version of the Motorola Moto 360, but the name is a bit of a misnomer; Moto 360 Run would be more accurate. Besides calories, distance, and steps, the Moto 360 Sport can only track running, so cyclists and swimmers need not apply. Still, it's certainly the best fitness-focused Android Wear smartwatch we've seen to date, with built-in GPS and a heart rate monitor to track stats from calories burned per minute to heart rate zone times. It's a useful tool for runners, but if you're more of a triathlete, you'll be better served by a dedicated fitness tracker like the Fitbit Charge HR.

Design and Display

True to its name, the Moto 360 Sport looks sportier than its more traditional counterpart. There are no customization options via Motorola's Moto Maker, so you can't choose different cases and you can't swap out bands. You can, however, select from black, orange, or white bands.
