Motorola could soon be making a comeback in the Wear OS smartwatch space, and it’s doing it with a familiar name. A new set of leaked renders suggests the company is reviving its iconic Moto 360 lineup, this time with a more refined, stainless steel design.

The leaked images show what’s reportedly the Moto 360 (2025), and it looks like a sleek return to form. The watch features a circular dial, a rotating crown, and an additional button on the right, all housed in a stainless steel case with matching metal bracelets. It’s a noticeable departure from the sportier rubber straps we’ve seen on many recent smartwatches, including older Moto 360 models.

If you don’t remember the original, Motorola’s first Moto 360 launched in 2014 and was among the first smartwatches to run Android Wear (what we now know as Wear OS). 

It was followed by a second-gen model in 2015, but things got murky after that. Motorola licensed the Moto 360 name to a third party, which released the third-generation version in 2019. Since then, the lineup has gone quiet.

Still powered by Wear OS?

Now, in 2025, it seems the Moto 360 is ready for a revival. According to the leak, the new watch will come in five color options, though the renders show us a single variant for the time being. 

What remains a mystery, however, is the software. Every Moto 360 to date has run on Wear OS. The 2025 version is expected to follow suit and might debut with Wear OS 6, the latest version of Google’s wearable platform. But until Motorola officially confirms it, we can’t be sure about that. 

That said, the Moto 360 (2025) looks like a premium push from Motorola. We’ll have to wait and see if it can stand out in a crowd that now includes the Pixel Watch, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch lineup, and a growing list of others trying to get Wear OS right.
