Well, for starters, it's round, which is a big thing (round LCDs are hard to pull off). Secondly, it runs Android Wear, not whatever custom baked thing was running on the MotoActv watch. Thirdly, it does completely different things. The MotoActv watch was a fitness watch. It's meant to track your runs, etc. This is a smartwatch. It's meant to connect to your phone and give you relevant information. Completely different use cases.

  MotoActv is also a smart watch. Please refer to feature list below. Sales of Moto 360 will see whether there more fans round dial or square screen. The trend I see here is - if your shit does not sell in first attempt then repackage it under a new name. MotoActv Features - 1. gps 2. heart rate 3. monitor 4. music 5. challenges 6. texts 7. ant+ 8. wi-fi 9. clock 10. weather 11. display

    Except not even slightly accurate. The MotoActv is not primarily a smartwatch, it's a fitness device first. It's meant for active audiences who want a watch while they excercise, hence the Actv part of the name. The Moto360, which looks absolutely nothing like the MotoActv (seriously, where the hell are you getting that they're repackaging an existing watch under a new name? They're completely different) is meant for an entirely different market, has completely different features, and probably features none of the same internals as the MotoActv. They are two watches, with completely different functions, with completely different UIs, meant for completely different people. The only similarity is that they're both made by Motorola but even that's a stretch because the Motorola of today (I'm referring to Motorola, a Google company) is nothing like Motorola of 2 years ago, when the MotoActv was released.
