Moto 360 update keeps a better connection with your phone

Motorola is rolling out a new software update for the Moto 360 smartwatch that brings a number of bug fixes and improvements including a more Bluetooth connection with your smartphone and alerting you that the watch is charging with better charging indicators. The update takes the firmware to version KGW42R.

According to Motorola, the update is being pushed out to users in phases, so fret not if it's not showing up on your phone. Additionally, at this time, you can't manually pull the update either so you'll have to wait for the update to arrive.

Here's the change log:

  • Bluetooth connectivity: Improved Bluetooth connectivity between the watch and phone to reduce momentary disconnects experienced by some users.
  • Charging notification: Added a message to confirm that Moto 360 is charging in cases when its battery is fully depleted.
  • Bug fixes: Implemented bug fixes and other system optimizations.
