Motorola took advantage of IFA 2026 to unveil its new high-end smartwatch, the Moto Watch Ultra. This device aims to compete in the sports wearables segment , and it does so in partnership with Polar, one of the most recognized companies in the field of fitness and physiological monitoring.

The Moto Watch Ultra is more than just another smartwatch: it features LTE connectivity, a high-brightness display, and comprehensive software . Below, we review all its features, from design and price to the health and fitness functions that make it an attractive option for active users.

Design and display

The watch features a 46mm stainless steel case, 12,1mm thick, and weighs 51 grams. The dial is circular and protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The 1,5-inch OLED display has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a maximum brightness of 2.700 nits , making it perfectly visible even in direct sunlight. It also includes an always-on display mode for checking the time without needing to activate the screen.

As for durability, the Moto Watch Ultra is IP68 certified and can withstand up to 5 ATM of pressure, which is equivalent to about 50 meters of depth. The straps are 22 millimeters wide and easily interchangeable, with options in breathable silicone or genuine leather in various Pantone-validated colors.

Performance and software

Inside, we find Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor , accompanied by 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. This configuration allows the Wear OS operating system to run smoothly, providing access to the Google Play Store and apps like Google Maps, YouTube Music, and the Gemini assistant. Furthermore, it's Motorola's first watch with Qira, the brand's AI assistant, which can be activated by voice commands or by raising your wrist.

The watch also features NFC for Google Wallet payments , dual-band GPS with GLONASS and Galileo support, and Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi connectivity. All of this makes for a complete and seamless user experience, perfect for everyday use and training sessions.

Health and sport with Polar

The Moto Watch Ultra's biggest selling point is the integration of Polar technology . Thanks to this, the watch offers features such as Serene, a guided breathing mode with real-time biofeedback; Nightly Recharge, which analyzes nighttime recovery and the state of the nervous system; and Sleep Plus Stages, which records sleep stages (REM, light, and deep).

For athletes, it features Running Coach , a virtual trainer that offers guided running and walking sessions directly from the wrist. It also includes Activity Goal, which creates personalized goals based on the user's profile, and Inactivity Alert, which notifies you when you've been inactive for too long. Other metrics such as energy expenditure and macronutrient analysis (fats, carbohydrates, and proteins) complete a very comprehensive dashboard.

Connectivity and autonomy

One of the most notable new features is the addition of LTE with eSIM , allowing users to make and receive calls, send messages, and manage notifications without needing their phone. This feature, a first for the Moto Watch family, transforms the watch into a standalone device for those who want to go for a run without their mobile phone.

As for the battery, Motorola promises up to two days of active use on a single charge, provided the always-on display is disabled. Fast charging is another of its strengths: just 15 minutes of charging provides up to 24 hours of battery life, which is very practical for unexpected situations.

The Moto Watch Ultra is now available in Spain at a recommended price of €429 . It can be purchased in different finishes, with silicone straps in colors like Black Beauty or Mountain View, or in a genuine leather version. The company has not confirmed an exact release date, but it is expected to arrive in stores in the coming weeks.

The Moto Watch Ultra presents itself as a solid option within Motorola's wearable lineup . Its combination of powerful hardware, high-brightness display, LTE connectivity, and Polar health features makes it an ideal companion for athletes and demanding users. Priced at €429, it's positioned in the high-end range, but it offers a set of features that justify its cost. We'll have to wait for the first reviews to see how it performs in everyday use, but on paper, it looks very promising.
