Moto 360 2nd Gen Review: The Drawbacks

1. Battery life

While the design looks sleeker and better, Motorola does not seem to bother improving the battery life. It does getting a pump but for a smartwatch as good as Moto 360, it should up the capacity higher than 400 mAh.

2. Trouble recognizing 'Ok Google'

3. Flat tire design
