The Moto 360 — Motorola's new smartwatch powered by Google's Android Wear platform — has a lot going for it. It's sleek, attractive, round — characteristics many existing smart watches on the market don't offer.
But there are still many questions to be answered and it's about time we get a deeper look at what to expect (see what we did there?). The Moto 360's lead designer Jim Wicks will be discussing the design and style features behind the new device in a Google+ Hangout, starting at 2 p.m. ET.

Motorola previously said it will be shipping the device in the summer, but we hope to find out more specifics on when. Other things we want to know are how it works, if it can be customized based on preferences and we'd like to see a demo on how it fields calls — apparently, you don't have to hold the device up close to your mouth.
In addition to answering questions in real time, Motorola said he will be fielding those sent ahead of time to Press@Motorola.com. To register for the event, click here.
Google announced Android Wear on Tuesday, a new version of Android designed specifically for wearable devices.
The idea behind Android Wear is to bring contextual information, like weather, text messages and directions, to the user when it's most needed.
From the first photos we have seen, Android Wear has a lot in common with what we've seen from both Google Now and Google Glass.
The Moto 360 is notable because it has a round face — something we haven't seen before in a smartwatch.
The band comes in a dark metal finish but wearers also have an option of a grey leather band.
Android Wear is voice-enabled, following the "OK Google" dictation scheme of gathering information.
Google has released a preview version of Android Wear for developers. This will allow existing Android developers to start preparing their existing apps for Android Wear, i
Google also announced that it is working with other electronic brands like Asus, HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung on developing more devices.
The Moto 360 is also designed to take advantage of gestures-twisting your wrist will show an alert for your next meeting.
The new Moto 360 will be available in stores this summer.
