Motorola Unveils Moto Watch at CES 2026 with Polar Health Integration and Extended Battery Life

Motorola has announced the Moto Watch during CES 2026, a new smartwatch focused on health and fitness that represents the first Motorola product to carry the "Powered by Polar" badge. Through a collaboration with Polar, a leading sports science firm, the device introduces several advanced health features such as Smart Calories, Nightly Recharge, and Activity Score.

The Moto Watch sports a 1.43-inch OLED display within a 47mm round aluminum body, complemented by a stainless steel crown. It is offered with three band choices: silicone, leather, and stainless steel. The watch is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance and includes Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the display.

Health monitoring capabilities encompass step counting, continuous heart rate tracking, blood oxygen (SpO₂) measurement, stress monitoring, and sleep analysis. The Polar integration enhances these features, with Smart Calories estimating calorie burn more precisely by considering heart rate, body composition, and workout intensity. The Nightly Recharge function evaluates recovery by analyzing sleep quality and heart rate variability, while the Activity Score provides a consolidated view of daily activity levels. Additional wellness tools include hydration reminders and medication alerts.

In terms of smartwatch functionality, the Moto Watch supports dual-frequency GPS for accurate outdoor tracking and includes a built-in speaker and microphone for call handling. Users can receive notifications through Moto AI, and a "Catch me up" feature on compatible phones summarizes missed alerts. Notably, the device runs on Motorola's own operating system rather than Wear OS, meaning it lacks support for third-party applications or Google Assistant.

Battery performance stands out, with the Moto Watch achieving up to 13 days on a single charge, or approximately 7 days with the always-on display activated. Motorola claims that a brief 5-minute charging session can extend usage by up to one additional day.

Pricing begins at Euro 99.99 for the silicone strap version, rising to Euro 149.99 for the stainless steel variant. Although the watch will initially launch in the United States later this month, it is anticipated to arrive in Nepal eventually, with expected pricing starting no lower than NPR 13,999.
