The Moto 360 was among the first Android Wear smartwatches to hit the market. Despite no longer being the only round smartwatch available, it remains one of the most compelling smartwatches available. A price cut earlier this month in the U.S. also helped keep it top of mind. A similar price cut has now made its way to Canada.
A CA$50 discount has reduced the Canadian price of the Moto 360 from CA$279.99 to CA$229.99. In comparison, it got a US$70 price cut in the U.S. and now sells for US$179.99. A quick currency conversion means it sells for about CA$15 in the U.S. so the prices are pretty much on par.

The Moto 360 is slated to receive Android Wear 5.1.1 in the coming weeks. It will be among the Android Wear watches to support the new Wi-Fi feature that will help reduce dependency on Bluetooth.
A number of recent rumours have suggested that a successor to the Moto 360 may not be particularly far away. Codenamed Smelt, it is rumoured to come with a fully-round display sporting a higher resolution and a more powerful processor.
Meanwhile, the LG G Watch, the first Android Wear smartwatch, to go on sale, has been removed from the Google Store.
