Design and Features
The new Moto Watch has a rotating crown and button as controls, similar to some Coros running watches. It also features a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 display and an IP68 rating against water and dust.
Software and Compatibility
Motorola's in-house software feels dated, and the lack of Wear OS support is a major drawback. The watch relies on Motorola's dedicated app, with no app store or support for popular apps like Strava or Spotify.
Fitness Tracking and AI
The Moto Watch features fitness tracking powered by Polar, with features like sleep and step tracking, continuous oxygen monitoring, and dual-frequency GPS tracking. However, the watch's AI capabilities are limited, and the Qira AI platform is not fully supported.
Conclusion
With its limited software and lack of continuity in design, the Moto Watch fails to impress. It's hard to compete with more established wearables like the Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch.
