Canadians have so far been able to choose from only two Moto 360 options, either with a black or a grey (or stone as Motorola calls it) leather strap. Earlier this month, we learned that metal band versions were finally coming our way sometime in March. The first of these have now landed a few days early.
The 23mm dark stainless steel model (seen on the right above) went on sale today through both Best Buy and Future Shop. As expected, it sells for CA$329.99 (compared to CA$279.99 for the leather band versions).
Other than the different strap, this latest model is identical to the models already available in Canada.
