Moto 360 and 360 Sport get new firmware
Motorola has just begun to roll out a new Android Wear build to the second generation Moto 360 and the Moto 360 Sport. Carrying the build number MWD49B, this is a minor update that comes with multiple improvements to the Moto Body app, in addition to the usual security patches and various tweaks.
According to the official change log by Motorola, the Android Wear build MWD49B for the Moto 360 and the Moto 360 Sport smartwatches has the following highlights:
- Moto Body enhanced calorie calculation - now taking heart rate into account
- Moto Body heart rate continuous measure - no longer needed to tap to re-scan while in the app
- security updates - Google's Android security updates until May 1st
- stability improvements - no details mentioned
Unfortunately, it looks like the first generation Moto 360 no longer receives any official updates. The MWD49B firmware update rolls out gradually, but those who did not get the notification and are in a hurry can always go to Settings and check for it manually.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
