Motorola launches new smartwatch with 2,700-nit AMOLED display and Wear OS 6
IFAToday, Motorola expanded its Edge 70 smartphone series again with the launch of the Edge 70 Plus. At the same time, the company has refreshed the Razr 70 with a new version. To complement these, Motorola has unveiled a new smartwatch too.
As expected, Motorola has followed Apple and Samsung by adopting 'Ultra' branding. Befitting its high-end name, the Moto Watch Ultra runs Wear OS 6 rather than the RTOS equivalent found in the Moto Watch Fit and Moto Watch 120 (curr. $64.96 on Amazon). Moreover, the smartwatch contains Qualcomm's older Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.
On top of that, the Moto Watch Ultra is said to last up to 2 days on its 550 mAh battery with always-on display (AOD) functionality disabled. Also, Motorola equips its latest smartwatch with a 466 x 466-pixel pOLED display. Spanning 1.5-inches diagonally, this display contains a 1 Hz-60 Hz variable refresh rate, 2,700 nits peak brightness and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Furthermore, the Moto Watch Ultra integrates an eSIM for LTE connectivity and dual-frequency GPS for turn-by-turn navigation or for use when exercising. Incidentally, Motorola has partnered with Polar to include software features like Activity Goal, Activity Score, Active Intensity Zone, Inactivity Alert, Smart Calories, Energy Sources and dedicated Running Coach software.
Motorola has confirmed that the Moto Watch Ultra will be available 'in the coming weeks' across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. At this stage, it is unclear whether Pantone's Black Beauty, Mountain View and Nuthatch finishes will be available globally. Motorola has not confirmed pricing yet, either.
