Overview
Motorola is making waves in the wearables game with its latest smartwatch, simply called the Moto Watch. Fresh off its global debut at CES 2026 earlier this month, the Lenovo-owned brand has now locked in an India launch date. If you’re into rugged designs, long battery life, and smart health tracking, this one could be a game-changer. Let’s dive into everything we know so far.
Official Launch Date and Availability
Mark your calendars for January 23 at 12pm IST—that’s when the Moto Watch officially hits India. The event will share the spotlight with the new Motorola Signature smartphone, another CES highlight. Motorola has been teasing this on their site, confirming two sleek colour options: Matte Black and Matte Silver.
You’ll be able to snag it with either a comfy silicone strap or a premium stainless steel one. Post-launch, expect it on Flipkart and Motorola’s official India website. No word on pricing yet, but Motorola’s track record suggests it won’t break the bank for what it packs.
Premium Build and Design Details
At first glance, the Moto Watch screams durability. It rocks a 47mm aluminium frame that’s built to last, paired with Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch resistance. The dimensions clock in at 47 x 47 x 12mm, and it weighs just 39g—light enough for all-day wear without feeling bulky.
The standout is the 1.4-inch circular OLED display, complete with subtle minute markings on the rim for that classic chronograph vibe. Whether you’re tracking laps or just telling time, it looks sharp. This aluminium build isn’t just for show; it’s tough enough for workouts and daily grind.
Packed with Health and Fitness Features
Health nuts, pay attention. The Moto Watch is Motorola’s first collaboration with Polar, the Finnish fitness tech pros. That partnership brings top-tier tracking: step counting, stress detection, sleep analysis, heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels (SpO2), and detailed workout logging.
It’s got your basics covered plus smarter insights powered by Polar’s expertise. Imagine accurate GPS data for runs or hikes, thanks to dual-frequency GPS support. Bluetooth calling via 5.3, audio alerts, and a handy “Catch me up” feature for Moto AI phones round out the smart extras. Notifications feel seamless, keeping you connected without pulling out your phone.
Impressive Battery Life Claim
Battery anxiety? Not here. Motorola claims up to 13 days on a single charge with the always-on display (AOD) off. Switch AOD on, and you still get a solid seven days—pretty impressive for a feature-rich watch. This makes it a strong contender against pricier rivals like Apple or Samsung watches.
Real-world tests will tell, but if it delivers, you’ll forget about daily charging. Pair that with quick syncing to your phone, and it’s set for busy lifestyles.
Why the Moto Watch Stands Out
In a crowded smartwatch market, the Moto Watch blends affordability with premium touches. The Polar tie-up elevates its fitness cred beyond what we’ve seen from Motorola before. Dual GPS means precise outdoor tracking, and the aluminium design feels luxurious without the luxury price.
Launching alongside the Signature phone hints at a cohesive ecosystem—perfect for Motorola fans. CES 2026 gave us the first look, but India gets it super quick. If battery life and build quality hold up, this could steal sales from budget fitness bands and mid-range watches alike.
We’re just days away from hands-on reviews, so stay tuned for live updates from the launch. What feature has you most excited— the epic battery or Polar-powered health tech? Motorola’s back in the watch game strong.
