The Moto 360's form factor is based on the circular design of traditional watches (also similar to the Huawei Watch and LG Watch Urbane), supporting a 40mm (1.5 in) viewing diameter and circular capacitive touch display. The case is stainless steel and available in different finishes. Removable wrist bands are available in metal and natural leather - these were more readily removable in the second generation Moto 360 as opposed to the first. The watch is water resistant and has only a single physical button. The watch has an all day battery, and rather than needing to be plugged in, it charges wirelessly by being placed on an included cradle. Internally it has dual microphones for voice recognition and noise rejection and a vibration motor allowing tactile feedback. An ambient light sensor optimizes screen brightness and allows gesture controls such as blanking the screen by placing one's hand over it. Bluetooth 4.0 is included for connectivity and driving wireless headphones. In the June 2015 release notes, Motorola announced Wi-Fi support for the original Moto 360, such that it could be used out of Bluetooth range. A heart-rate sensor and 9-axis accelerometer support health and activity monitoring. It has IP67 certification for dust resistance and fresh water resistance rated at 30-minutes at 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) depth. It has dual microphones for voice recognition and noise rejection and a vibration motor allowing tactile feedback. An ambient light sensor optimizes screen brightness and allows gesture controls such as dimming the screen by placing one's hand over it. Bluetooth 4.0 LE is included for connectivity and wireless accessories. The ambient light sensor is located below the main display on both the first and second generations.

The Moto 360 runs Android Wear, later known as Wear OS, Google's proprietary Android-based platform specifically designed for wearable devices. It is able to be paired with devices running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean or higher and any iPhone running iOS 8 or higher. Its software displays notifications from paired phones. It uses paired phones to enable interactive features such as Google Now cards, search, navigation, playing music, and integration with apps such as fitness, EverNote, and others. The second generation Moto 360 shipped with Android Wear version 1.5 and is upgradable to version 2.0.
