The follow-up to the Moto 360 smartwatch may be lurking around the corner (that’s the original Moto 360 in the photo above).

A filing with the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, a key step for all Bluetooth-enabled devices, reveals a new Motorola device with a design model number BTM3. The reason this points to the Moto 360 is that the original smartwatch first appeared as BTM1.

Droid fe spotted the filing, which is listed as an “Android device” from Motorola, with support for Bluetooth version 4.1.

The timing is right, as the original Moto 360 was announced in h of last year. Motorola could reveal a successor on its own, or it could be part of the hoopla to come from I/O in a couple of weeks.

y this matters: ile reviews were mixed, some of the original Moto 360’s issues may be resolved by the maturation of Android ar, which gets a lot better with version 5.1. Currently it can only be found on the tch Urbane, but says it should start rolling out to other watches soon.
