Motorola released a pair of updates for its MOTOACTV Android-based sports watch. There are two different versions of the new software released, one for the golf-compatible MOTOACTV and the other one for the “regular” MOTOACTV. However, both devices got the following enhancements and bug fixes:

  • Improved calorie burn algorithm during cycling workout with heart rate monitor
  • Added Primary Activity selection during setup so your MOTOACTV is tailored to your primary sport
  • Improved watch performance after display wake up
  • Enhanced the way Album Lists are displayed
  • Improved connectivity with Wahoo BLE heart rate monitor

The golf “version” also got improved Golf club recommendation by widening the distance range, and improved calculation for total score after a golf round.

To get the latest software, simply plug the ACTV in your computer, let the device check for the update and download it through MOTOCAST…

    The most exciting part of the new update however is that you can now get Twitter and Facebook updates delivered straight to your Motoactv! Perfect for those that can’t go more than 5 minutes without obsessively checking their social profiles :)
