Following LG’s introduction of its first smartwatch, now it’s Motorola’s turn to unveil its Android Wear device: the Moto 360.

Following in the the tried tradition of classic timepieces, Motorola’s smartwatch hews closely to a more refined, premium look.

The Moto 360 boasts a circular, digital watchface powered by Android Wear that grants users access to notifications with – presumably – gestures, as the company’s official line mentions a “twist of the wrist.”

There’s also Google Now integration, much like on the LG G Watch, that will make checking in on the weather, sports scores or flights a hands-free affair.
