@ 2016/12/03Once touted by the Tame Apple Press as the next big thing in technology, the smartwatch has been a huge disappointment, and now Lenovo Moto has announced that it is throwing in the towel.
Lenovo Moto confirmed that it will not be releasing a new smartwatch for the launch of Android Wear 2.0, due early next year. It had previously said it was not going to bother with another smartwatch in 2016, but it is now saying that it doesn’t plan to put out a new device timed to the arrival of Google’s newest wearable platform.
Shakil Barkat, head of global product development at Moto, said the company doesn’t “see enough pull in the market to put a new smartwatch out now”.
