On the other hand this means that a second iteration of the Moto 360 will easily have a better battery life just by having a Cortex A7 CPU or even better, a Cortex A53, 50% more efficient than A7 and due next year. Something like a Snapdragon 410 with only 2 cores and no LTE modem would be great. The target is 130mw / core.

EDIT: apparently the G Watch and Gear Live have a Snapdragon 400 with 3 core deactivated. So I guess they could do the same with a 410.
