Motorola Launched ‘Moto Watch 100’ Officially with Brand New ‘Moto OS’

The rumoured Motorola Smartwatch, Moto Watch 100, gets official, and for a change, the company waives Wear OS and starts the software journey by launching the company’s first smartwatch that runs on a brand new in-house Moto OS. The surprising change in the operating system will help the smartwatch increase its battery life and deliver up to 14 days of battery life on a single charge, which is far ahead of what Wear OS can provide.

Features

The newly launched Moto OS is claimed to be focused on health as it features preloaded 26 sport modes, including SPO2 tracking, a heart rate monitor, accelerometer and gyroscope, which helps the watch provide fitness results with detailed stats and data. The Moto Watch 100 also track the results of activities and games like basketball, badminton, bike indoor, cricket, snowboard, tennis, and yoga, among others.

Specifications

The Moto Watch 100 features a 1.3-inch circular LCD display with a 360 x 360 pixels resolution and an always-on mode, which is a surprise package. The  Moto Watch 100 is 5ATM water-resistant and supports Bluetooth 5.0. The watch comes with a 355mAh battery that takes about an hour to charge fully. It also supports features like GPS, BeiDou, and GLONASS for better navigation and connectivity.

The 45.8g smartwatch is packed in an aluminium casing and measures 42x46x11.9mm. The case of the Moto Watch 100 will be available in two colour variants, Glacier Silver and Phantom Black. Along with the stylish cases, the watch also offers replaceable 20mm straps with various colour options. The smartwatch is compatible with devices running on at least Android 5.0 or iOS 10.0.

Price & Availability

The Moto Watch 100 is listed on the Motorola US website with a price tag of $99.99 (approx. ₹7500) and is available for pre-orders in the US market only. The availability of the watch in other countries and regions, including India, is not yet confirmed, but we expect the company will soon launch the Moto Watch 100 in several other locations outside the US.

Motorola’s Upcoming Smartwatch is Tipped to Feature Waterproof Design & Inbuilt GPS

Back in February, Motorola joined forces with Canadian company eBuyNow to launch a smartwatch, and now, a rumoured smartwatch Moto Watch 100 has leaked in new official-looking renders. An investor presentation between the two companies revealed they’d launch a Motorola branded smartwatch next year, but it seems like they’re ready to tackle the smartwatch soon.

The leaked renders show a premium-looking minimalistic design smartwatch sporting a circular display, two physical buttons on the right side and is said to come with a silicone strap marked with a striped design. The watch is expected to run on Google’s Wear OS and feature Snapdragon Wear 4100. Along with features like heart rate monitoring, inbuilt GPS support and step tracking, the smartwatch is expected to feature a waterproof design.

According to the reports, the smartwatch is designed for a budget audience, but it has a premium feel. The leaked renders show the watch in a black finish, but Motorola may launch the smartwatch in various other colour options and straps. Interestingly, in the month of February, the smartwatch was referred to as the “Moto G Smartwatch”, but according to some reports, it might be another watch from the company which they’re planning to launch in the coming year.

The source suggests the Moto Watch 100 will feature a 1.3-inch circular LCD display with 360×360 pixels resolution and is tipped to measure 42x46x11.9mm. The upcoming budget smartwatch from Motorola packs a 355 mAh battery and comes with Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. 

The smartwatch is also expected to feature a heart rate sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, SpO2 sensor, sleep tracking, sensor counting and ambient light sensor. Unfortunately, the smartwatch doesn’t come with a rotating bezel, and there’s no official announcement from Motorola about the launch of Watch 100 yet, but we expect to witness a launch soon.
