Motorola will be holding a launch event -- presumably for its Moto 360 smartwatch -- early next month.
Motorola sent out press invites teasing a "Moto Launch Experience" that will be held in Chicago on Sept. 4. Of all the Android Wear devices shown off at Google I/O, the Moto 360 is the device that has the most buzz, thanks to its sleek design and circular screen.
The invitation website offered additional clues to what Motorola will announce at its event. An animated graphic shows off a watch, phones labeled "X" and "G" and an in-ear accessory. Call us crazy, but we think that means we can expect updates to the Moto X and Moto G smartphones, as well as a new audio accessory.
Motorola is holding its event in the middle of what is expected to be a very busy week. On Sept. 3, a day before Motorola's event, Samsung will host a Samsung Unpacked even from Berlin, New York and Beijing. Samsung is expected to show off its Note 4 smartphone. The IFA consumer electronics trade show officially kicks off in Berlin on Sept. 5.
And if that weren't enough, industry watchers expect Apple to hold its own launch event, presumably for the iPhone 6, on Sept. 9.
By having an event in Chicago, Motorola runs the risk of losing live attendees, thanks to press outlets that will already be in Berlin for IFA. Still, we can't wait to finally get a genuine look at the Moto 360.
