The Moto 360 may have been accidentally leaked. Best Buy has accidentally leaked the specs and details about Motorola’s upcoming smart watch.

A web page listing the smart watch’s price and details was available until Monday, when the company took it down.

The listing went up accidentally and had to be taken down since it was a mistake, according to a Best Buy spokesperson via Mashable.

Still, the information has survived on the web on other sites.

According to Droid Life, the Moto 360, which has the product code SKU 8307143 and model number 00419NARTL, will have a 1.5-inch backlit LCD touch screen, with a 320×290 resolution, 205ppi, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3.

The dimensions of the watch are 1.8×1.8×0.4-inches, and it weighs 2.1oz. It is made of both stainless steel and plastic.

The smart watch will also pack an ambient light sensor, a heart rate monitor, and is water resistant for up to 3.3 feet for 30 minutes. 

The Moto 360 has 512MB of RAM, a Wireless N connectivity, and a Texas Instruments processor.

Other details include Bluetooth 4.0 technology, voice activation capabilities, vibration alert, built-in pedometer, and a built-in lithium-ion battery pack.

Being an Android smart watch, the Moto 360 will run Android 4.3 operating system, which can be updated in future.

Best Buy gave a price of $249 for the watch. In comparison, Best Buy sells the Galaxy Gear 2 for $299.99, the LG G watch for $229.99, and the Pebble Steel for $229.99.

The Moto 360 is expected to be unveiled at an event at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart on September 4th.
