In 2014, the Moto 360 smartwatch became a symbol of early Android Wear technology. It featured a round face, a leather band, and a small black band at the bottom of the screen—often mocked but still popular. Motorola stopped producing the Moto 360 in 2016 but later licensed the brand to a Canadian company for a 2019 revival. Since then, the brand has focused on simpler, step-counting watches with basic app features. Now, ten years after the initial launch, Motorola is returning to the smartwatch market with the Moto Watch Ultra, its first device to use the latest Wear OS platform. The Moto Watch Ultra is a sleek, feature-packed smartwatch with a 46 mm steel case, 12.1 mm thickness, and a weight of just 51 grams. It features a 1.5-inch pOLED screen with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a brightness of up to 2,700 nits, making it highly visible even in direct sunlight. Inside, it has a Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, and includes an eSIM LTE for standalone calling. The watch also supports dual-band GPS, NFC for Google Wallet, and is water-resistant with IP68 and 5 ATM ratings. Health monitoring is handled by Polar, a well-known name in fitness technology. The watch includes features like the Nightly Recharge recovery score, Sleep Plus Stages sleep analysis, and an integrated running coach. Two AI assistants, Gemini from Lenovo and Qira from Motorola, coexist on the device, offering smart features and voice control. The 550 mAh battery is expected to last two days with typical use, and a 15-minute charge with a 30 W charger (sold separately) provides 24 hours of use. The Moto Watch Ultra will be priced at 429 € in Europe and 349.99 USD in the U.S., where it will launch on September 10. In Europe, Motorola says it will be available “in the coming weeks,” though no specific date has been given for France yet. Compared to a previous Moto Watch model that launched in January at 99.99 € and used a proprietary system with no app store, the Ultra offers significantly more functionality, including access to the Google Play Store, Google Maps, and 4G connectivity. However, the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor used in the Ultra was released in 2022, while newer models from Google and Samsung already use more advanced chips. Motorola promises two major software updates, which is standard but not particularly generous. While the name "Ultra" suggests high-end features and premium pricing, this watch is more of a classic, well-equipped smartwatch at a standard price.
