New Year, New You

Ah, 2015. A fresh, new start. Maybe you want to get in better shape, be more organized, or multitask better. Or maybe none of those things sound right and you just want to slow it down. It’s up to you. Here are four ideas to help you choose a new you in the New Year.

Choose to be You
Sometimes the right thing is to zig when everyone else is zagging. Don’t be afraid to strut who you really are with the dozens of colors, materials, and other personal customizations with your phone, Play around with Moto Maker and create a Moto X unique to you.

Choose to Be Healthy

There’s so much good food and good times at the holidays, but if you’re looking to the New Year to be healthier, Moto Body on Moto 360 may help you meet your goals. Effortlessly track your heart rate, activity level, and more. 

Choose to Take It Easy

You’ve noticed something in the past year: your hands are always full. Enter Moto Hint, which allows you to control your phone with just your voice, so that you can give your hands a rest. And yes, you could totally talk to your phone from your exercise bike—or couch.

Choose to be Proactive
Maybe it’s Dad, an aunt or a buddy. They’re the voice of reason who always gives the sensible advice like protecting the new thing you love. Take that step and protect your new device in case the unthinkable happens and something injures your new baby.

Moto 360: Choose a watch that fits your style

We’re introducing more choice for Moto 360. From new metal watches and a selection of interchangeable bands, to enhanced experiences that promote a healthier lifestyle, Moto 360 offers a diverse portfolio of modern timepieces. 

New metal offerings

Moto 360 now comes with metal bands that are as durable as they are beautiful. Crafted from aircraft-grade stainless steel, these bands feature a modern, contemporary tri-link design that complements the round face of Moto 360. Starting today, Moto 360 with light and dark metal bands are available on motorola.com for $299. Coming soon, we will offer Moto 360 with new slim bands, which is an option for smaller wrists or for people who want a different look. Slim bands will be available in time for the holidays in light metal ($299) and a brand new champagne gold finish ($329).

New accessory bands

Already have a Moto 360? We’ll offer interchangeable stone, black and cognac leather bands along with light and dark metal bands. Plus, we’ve partnered with some really cool brands through our M4DE program to bring you even more choices. DODOcase will offer stitched leather bands in four new colors. TYLT is working on colorful silicone bands to give you an entirely new look.

New watch faces

Choose from new watch face designs or even create your own. The new My Design watch face option allows you to customize everything from the background image to the style of the tick marks and watch hands. We’ve also added the watch face created by the winner of our Moto 360 Design Face-Off. These new watch face options will be available for all Moto 360 watches through an update on the Moto Connect app¹ within the next few days.

New wellness features

Moto 360 can help you make the most of every day. That’s why we’re bringing you Moto Body, an experience designed to inspire a healthier lifestyle. You can track your steps, distance, heart rate and calories. Based on the information collected, Moto Body will provide new goals to keep you motivated. Moto Body will be available to all Moto 360 users through the Motorola Connect app update.
