In March, Motorola will flip on a new version of Moto Maker, the tool it created to let users design a Moto X to their exact specifications. This time, though, it won’t just be for smartphones: Motorola will soon allowing you to customize your own Moto 360 smartwatch. You’ll be able to choose from three watch casings: silver, black, and champagne gold. Then you’ll choose a band, which comes in two sizes, in either leather or metal. (Motorola’s careful to not designate the sizes “male” and “female,” but that’s obviously the idea.) Lastly, you can select one of 11 watch faces, picking the one that will appear the first time you turn your watch on. There are a couple of new watch faces, and Motorola finally offers the gorgeous single-link band it teased in its first promo video nearly a year ago.
