Official tweet reveals that the Motorola Moto 360 successor might bring back the flat tire design

The information comes as the official Twitter account of Motorola Mobility recently posted a video that demos a currently-unannounced Motorola smartwatch taking voice commands to perform various searches. Now, before going into the details, it should be mentioned that the watch showcased in the video is a render and not an actual piece of hardware, meaning that there's a slight chance we might be looking at a mockup, and not a real device. 

Motorola has taken down the video in the meantime, but the screenshot that we've posted above tells the whole story. As you can notice, the Motorola smartwatch showcased in the video is not the original Moto 360. While we don't know anything about the internal specs, it doesn't take a keen observer to notice that the way that the band connects to the watch - the lugs - is different from what Motorola did with the original Moto 360. Furthermore, the crown seems to sit a bit higher on the watch in the video compared to its position on the Moto 360.

At a first glance, the differences in terms of aesthetics don't seem to be too significant. However, it turns out that the similarities might turn out to be the problem. More to the point, the flat tire found on the lower side of the display is something that many fans hoped for Motorola to make do with on the Moto 360 successor.
