Motorola may have the Moto X+1 on the way, but with Google I/O right around the corner all eyes are on the device that’s going to go around people’s wrists. The Moto 360 is certainly one of the most hyped devices coming this year, and some new details could very well make it even harder for people to wait.

When FCC documents find their way online, and people begin to snoop, there is always something to learn. In this specific case the FCC documents in question aren’t even for the Moto 360 specifically, but instead for a Motorola-branded wireless charger. It’s the Motorola SPN5845A, and it’s probably coming soon. What’s more, it will also boast functionality for Motorola’s upcoming Moto 360.

Now, this does come as a bit of a surprise to most, simply because wireless charging has been only a rumor up until this point. At least, so we thought. It turns out that wireless charging was indeed confirmed for the Moto 360 at the end of May, as a Motorola representative confirmed to Ausdroid that magnetic induction charging would be included.

With custom watches looking better than ever, and with features that sound amazing for a smartwatch, the Moto 360 is looking better than ever. Are you excited to get your hands on it?
