Android Wear 5.1.1 is a major update for the smart watches that rely on Google's operating system for wearables, but it looks like the Motorola Moto 360 is not ready for it. While the Sony SmartWatch already got its new firmware, Motorola and Google are still working to make sure everything works properly.

Twitter user David Stevens asked for news about the 5.1.1 update for Moto 360, highlighting that it is "kinda disappointing" to see that owners of Sony smartwatches already got theirs. Motorola Mobility's answer arrived quickly, but only saying "Performance is not quite there yet. We’re working with Google to ensure the software works great on #Moto360."

Unfortunately, Motorola did not reveal any details concerning the issues encountered or at least the estimated time of release of the Android Wear 5.1.1 update for Moto 360. We will report back as soon as we find out more about this, so stay tuned.

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.
