Update to Motorola Connect app brings more watch faces for the Moto 360, a new UI and more

Motorola Connect is the app available from the Google Play Store, that is used to customize accessories for Motorola devices. These accessories would include the Moto Pulse wireless headset and the Moto Surround wireless earbuds to name a couple. Also included with the app are a number of new watch faces for both generations of the Motorola Moto 360. If you’ve been in a coma for a couple of years, the latter is the manufacturer’s Android Wear powered smartwatch.

The second-generation Moto 360 is now supported by the Motorola Connect app, and the UI of the app itself has been greatly improved with a more intuitive and easier to navigate interface. And while it wasn’t mentioned in the changelist, standard Motorola watch faces from the second-generation Moto 360, which employ Android Wear’s interactive watch face API, are now available for the OG Moto 360 by using the app.

The new watch faces are divided into categories like Dials, Dials II, Refined, and Essential. The first two have three configurable dials that can be set to show subjects like the weather. Essential keeps track of your Moto Body activities like calories burned, or steps taken. Besides watch faces, the Connect app can also help you remotely set the brightness of your Moto 360’s watch screen.

The Moto Connect app also has killed off a number of bugs, and is a free download from the Google Play Store.
