Can we expect a round Moto Watch 200 with Wear OS 3.x soon?
It was a few years ago when Android Wear was an operating system for smartwatches. Today, Google’s successor operating system in partnership with Samsung is called Wear OS 3.x. And now, the first updates have started trickling out of Mountain View after Samsung ended the gap by launching the Google Pixel Watch.
Now, Motorola, no longer powered by Google, but Lenovo, seems to be releasing a new smartwatch called the Moto Watch 200. This is confirmed by official certification (MOSWZ200).) It was approved by the USFCC (Federal Communications Commission) on October 13th and has just been revealed. Press material. The problem: According to the FCC, the Moto Watch 200 is square—practically like the Apple Watch—and apparently round in its promotional materials.

Well, I would like many explanations for you, of which I must say that they are pure speculations on my part. The first difference is that the image in the FCC certification is just a placeholder. The second approach Motorola brings to the market two types of cases from one model to cover all tastes.
In the end, it should be noted that the leak is fake. The German and still very young helper “SnoopyTech” has been wrong many times before. However, most of the time it was about technical information or price predictions.
In the Motorola image leaks, the suggestion was usually correct. In addition, it is worth noting that Motorola released the Moto Watch 100, which appeared in the US and Europe in a round case. Since the certification was done in the US, the square model may only be for the North American market and the round model for Europe.
