On Twitter earlier this week, a Moto 360 2nd gen leak was spotted which comes from Motorola itself. It has also been suggested that the upcoming smartwatch may come in two sizes.

According to 9to5 Google, Motorola Mobility tweeted what appeared to be a video of the Moto 360 2. As of this writing though, the said tweet has been taken down.

"As you can see in the still above, the crown has moved to the two o'clock position, and the strap seems to attach at the sides now rather than underneath, but the watch still features that annoying lip at the bottom of the face," the website said.

While it can't be confirmed if the Moto 360 2nd gen leak is legit or not, 9to5 Google noted that an unnamed Motorola "smartwatch" recently passed FCC certification. Furthermore, it has almost been a year since the Moto 360 went on sale.

Motorola unveiled its newest smartphones last month but a successor to their Android Wear-powered smartwatch was nowhere to be seen leading some to believe it could be launched at September's IFA 2015.

Franchise Herald has previously covered possible Moto 360 2 specs but the latest report suggests the wearable device could come in two sizes.

"Documentation for two Motorola products with the model numbers '360S' and '360L' have been submitted to [Brazilian telecoms agency Anatel], which examines and approves all radio-equipped products before they can be sold [in the country]," The Verge reported.

According to the website, both devices have Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi connectivity with the former having a 270mAh battery and the latter having a 375mAh battery.

"These two battery listings would make sense if the S and L were different sizes, and the capacities also happen to fall neatly on either side of the original Moto 360's 320mAh battery."

Apart from the Moto 360 2nd gen leak last week, Motorola has so far remained tight-lipped on its upcoming smartwatch which is expected to be revealed at next month's IFA 2015 in Berlin.
