Motorola is set to release its latest wearable, the Moto Watch Fit, on May 22 with a price tag of $199 in the U.S. ($249 in Canada). The new smartwatch, which was initially unveiled alongside updated Razr flip phones last month, will be available through Motorola’s official website<\/a> at launch, with availability expanding to Amazon and Best Buy in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n What to know about the Moto Watch Fit<\/p>\n Unlike most Android<\/a> smartwatches on the market, the Moto Watch Fit runs on a proprietary operating system rather than Google’s Wear OS. While this might raise some concerns for potential buyers wary of an untested system, there are a few features that could sway you in its direction.<\/p>\n Design<\/p>\n The Moto Watch Fit features a sleek design with a 1.9-inch OLED display housed in an aluminum frame. In terms of durability, the watch has 5ATM water resistance and IP68 ratings\u2014meaning it should hold up for swimming and other water-based activities. At just 25 grams, the Moto Watch Fit offers a lightweight design that won’t weigh you down during workouts or daily wear. (For comparison, most versions of the Apple Watch Series 10<\/a> sit around 30 grams).<\/p>\n Impressive battery life<\/p>\n Where Motorola claims<\/a> the watch truly stands out is its battery life. It says users can expect up to 16 days of use on a single charge and under normal conditions. However, something like constant GPS usage would naturally drain your battery much faster. However, the company promises a quick 5-minute charge can provides a full day of usage.<\/p>\n The Watch Fit focuses on delivering reliable fitness tracking, making it best for someone prioritizing battery life and comfort over extensive app ecosystems.<\/p>\n What do you think so far?<\/p>\n Limited smart features<\/p>\n On that note, it looks like the Moto Watch Fit does not support third-party apps and lacks smart assistant functionality. While this may be a dealbreaker users who want the full smartwatch experience, it’s likely these limitations contribute to the device’s extended battery life, not to mention it’s price point\u2014at under $200, it’s one of the more affordable smartwatches. For context, the most popular versions of Galaxy, Google Pixel, or Apple watches will typically cost at least $299<\/a>. <\/p>\n So, if you’re looking for heart rate monitoring, GPS tracking, and basic smartwatch functions, and you’re tired of power-hungry options on the market that struggle to last even a week between charges, the Moto Watch Fit could be the right fit for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We may earn a commission from links on this page.
