Background:
Motorola has launched the Moto Watch, a new smartwatch that offers long battery life and advanced health tracking. The company introduced the device at CES 2026, showing it as a stylish and powerful choice for people who want fitness features and everyday wearability.
The Moto Watch stands out with a claimed battery life of up to 13 days in raise-to-wake mode and about seven days with the always-on display turned on. Motorola also says a five-minute charge can deliver nearly a full day of use, addressing one of the biggest pain points of current Android smartwatches.
A key feature is Motorola’s partnership with Polar, a well-known brand in sports science. Through this tie-up, the Moto Watch supports advanced metrics such as heart-rate variability, sleep stages, recovery tracking, and dual-frequency GPS for more accurate location data. These features are usually seen on premium sports watches.
The device does not run Google’s Wear OS. Instead, it relies on Motorola’s own software and supports only Android phones. This puts it closer to brands like Amazfit and Withings, giving users a mix of fitness band features and full smartwatch capabilities.
The Moto Watch features an aluminum frame, a stainless-steel crown, and a 47mm round OLED display covered with Gorilla Glass 3. It has an IP68 rating, making it resistant to dust and water. Users can swap bands easily, choosing from metal, silicone, or leather-style straps, including third-party options.
Motorola said the Moto Watch forms part of its wider Moto Things ecosystem and works with its Smart Connect app to link phones, tablets, and accessories. Future updates may also integrate with Motorola’s upcoming Qira AI platform.
