The Moto 360 has attracted considerable attention since its announcement, and T-Mobile is the latest network to confirm it’ll soon sell the smartwatch to its customers. The news comes from T-Mobile’s tech evangelist Des Smith, who replied to a question on Twitter, saying “The Moto 360 will be available at T-Mobile on November 12.”

T-Mobile’s announcement comes the day after AT&T let us know it would put the Moto 360 up for sale on November 7. To help tempt buyers, AT&T will be offering a $50 price reduction on the 360, provided it’s purchased with the new 2014 Moto X smartphone. The Android Wear watch will cost $250 if bought separately.

Motorola’s wise to make the Moto 360 easy for people to buy, because its days as being the only truly desirable smartwatch are coming to an end, thanks to rapidly increasing competition. For example, LG’s G Watch R is also about to arrive on the AT&T network, while Sony’s SmartWatch 3 is already out through Verizon. The minimalistic Moto 360 has a 1.56-inch circular face, a heart rate monitor, 4GB of internal storage space, and is made from stainless steel. The strap is leather.

Due to the unorthodox way we’ve heard T-Mobile’s news, there’s no information on whether it’ll be offering a similar deal to AT&T, which colors it’ll be stocking, or even what the price will be. These details will no doubt become known over the next few days, and we’ll update you here when they’re official.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 vs. Fitbit Sense

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatch, worn on a person's wrist.

The Galaxy Watch 4 is Samsung's take on a modern, hi-tech wearable that doesn't imitate an old-school analog wristwatch. It eschews the classic design of its predecessors for a sleeker, more streamlined look, while also providing some excellent hardware and features. These include a Super AMOLED touchscreen, 16GB of internal storage, generous battery life, and some great health-tracking software.

It's certainly one of the best smartwatches out there, but in a market saturated by Apple Watches and various Android equivalents, it certainly isn't without competitors. One of these is the Fitbit Sense, which in 2020 emerged to offer a premium version of the core Fitbit experience, replete with an ECG sensor, a choice of virtual assistants, and a wealth of fitness features.

This $4,000 titanium beauty is the ultimate square G-Shock

The G-Shock MRG-B5000B.

Do you want the very best Casio offers in manufacturing, design, and technology from your new G-Shock, all wrapped up in that highly recognizable square case? In other words, the ultimate version of a truly classic G-Shock watch? If so, the new MRG-B5000B is exactly the model you will want, provided cost is no object. We’ve been wearing it.
What makes MR-G so special?
Although Casio is best known for tough watches that won’t break the bank, Casio also has decades of watchmaking experience, and it showcases its talents most effectively in its highly exclusive MR-G family of watches. These models, its most luxurious, are assembled by hand on Casio’s Premium Production Line located in the Yamagata factory in Japan, where only the company’s most experienced, specially certified technicians work on the top MT-G and MR-G models.

The square G-Shock is one of the most popular models, having been around since the G-Shock brand first started in the early 1980s, and bringing it to the luxury MR-G range is going to see a lot of people reaching for their wallets. What makes it so special? It’s the first time the classic, beloved square G-Shock has been given the MR-G treatment, with most other MR-G models over the past few years featuring an analog dial. There's a huge section of an already large fan base waiting for this.
