The art and science behind the Moto X and Moto 360

Motorola goes all-out by introducing the Moto X, Moto G, and Moto 360 smartwatch, the most interesting products the company has made in a long time. We talk to some of the people who brought them to life.

As an Apple user, I have to say I REALLY like the way Motorola is going right now. In fact, if Apple has any real competition from a single company, it's probably going to be Motorola. They have the vision, the brand identity, the talent and just a very nice feeling to them, similar to what Apple started when they launched. I always couldn't stand Samsung and pretty much every other phone manufacture. Cheap, boring, vision-less, poor quality software and hardware implementation, too gimmicky, too flashy, distant... these are words I'd describe most computer companies to this day. But Apple changed that, and based on Motorola last year and where they are going this year, we might just see another intelligent company emerge that understands technology is more than just a spec sheet. It's an experience, an ecosystem, simplicity and elegance, support, feeling good about the products and relating to them. I think Apple will probably continue to impress me since they have to stay on top now and they realize it, but if Apple didn't recover from the awkward and lackluster period after Steve died, I'd be a Moto customer right now. Either way, point is, Motorola has my respect for best competition to Apple. If you're an Android user and don't appreciate Motorola and somehow buy a Samsung at this point or something, my mind is just blown lol.

Nice inside look, I'm definitely more excited about Moto products

[pressplayasia]

This is real tech journalism, and an absolute gem of a video in amongst the wave of "galaxy edge vs galaxy note 4 vs note 3 vs iphone 5s vs etc etc" video spam other tech channels are spewing.

[LucaRuzzola]

[DakumaMusic]

Dear Verge, more company profiles like this please.

[joshuacalebsmith]

Great piece, Chris in Chicago? Flashback, I miss the Verge Mobile Show!

[MichaelHeller]

What's the device at 3:38? Is that a new sport model Moto watch?

[amaxwell]

It's cool to see the breakdown of the 360.

[jogabonito]

Please can I get the names of the second song in this video?

[mrjeremydizon]

Such smarts and eloquence from these guys at Motorola. Sincerely hoping they make a dent in the market with these forward-thinking and beautiful products.

[VenkatAthmanathan]

To all those wondering for song ID at 7:00,
It's Summer Waves (Instrumental) - Kostas Chiras :)

6:48 It's interesting to see what the 360 would've looked like if it were fully circular and had to have the drivers along the bezel. I definitely feel they made the right choice by cutting off the bottom portion of the screen to make the entire product much smaller.

Great video, it's good to see Motorola making a comeback. I havn't thought about their brand for years.

[redshirtspeaker]

This video made me appreciate the Moto 360 a lot, and The Verge even more.

Motorola Mobility I think you guys have done a great job with your new product line up. I believe in your design philosophy and I believe you have made wise choices for your devices. The Moto 360 and the Moto x are a piece of art! Since I'm a poor college student I can't afford your devices right now, but I have been raving about your new products. Keep it up guys!

[orlandoducati]

Going to be rocking a glacier silver HTC one and moto 360..beast of all designs.
