The Moto 360 Sport was unveiled to the world last year on the same day the company had introduced the second-gen Moto 360 smartwatch in India.

While the new Moto 360 Sport is already available in some countries including the UK, the US and France, it is making its way to India on April 27.

The Moto 360 Sport has built-in GPS that is said to work seamlessly with Moto Body to measure performance. It, as the company says, can track distance travelled, pace, lap times and more.

The new Sport edition of the Moto 360 works with Android fitness apps including MapMyRun, Under Armour Record, Strava, Google Fit and Fitbit. Moto Body records your workout data and syncs with these apps.

The watch comes with Motorola AnyLight, which is touted to be the world's first hybrid display, that lets users see things clearly both indoors and out.

"Indoors, it works like any beautiful LCD screen. Step outside and it reflects natural sunlight, making the screen easy to read," explains Motorola.

It will also enable users to check Gmail messages on the go, as well as calendar events and WhatsApp messages, and receive the latest traffic and weather reports.

Also, the company, in the US, has announced a price cut of $100 on the Moto 360 Sport - a day before it comes to India. The watch is now available in the US at $200.

While much of the early attention on virtual reality has focused on use of the immersive technology in video games, Milk and his US startup Vrse are using it to transform storytelling and filmgoing. "We have just started to scratch the surface of the true power of virtual reality," Milk said. "It's not a video game peripheral. It connects humans to other humans in a profound way... I think virtual reality has the potential to actually change the world." He had everyone in the Vancouver audience at TED , which ended Friday, hold Google Cardboard viewers to their eyes for what was billed as the world's collective virtual reality experience. Google Cardboard gear is literally that -- cardboard
