The smartwatch will be offered in two colour options, Matte Black and Matte Silver. It will also come with multiple strap choices, such as silicone or stainless steel, so users can customise it to their style.
While Motorola has confirmed the launch date and availability, the official price for India will be revealed at the event. Rumours suggest a competitive price point to take on other premium smartwatches in the same segment.
Moto Watch: Price in India (Expected)
Motorola has not yet announced the pricing for the Moto Watch in India. The company will share this information on the launch day, January 23. However, industry expectations point to an aggressive price strategy to attract buyers looking for premium features like dual‑frequency GPS and extended battery life.
Because Motorola often partners with e‑commerce platforms like Flipkart for early offers and bundle deals, customers may see special launch pricing or launch‑day discounts.
Moto Watch Specifications & Features
The Moto Watch comes with a 47 mm aluminium body and a 1.4‑inch circular OLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 3, a combination that stands out in its segment for durability and clarity.
Moto Watch: Display & Build
- 1.4‑inch OLED screen
- Gorilla Glass 3 protection
- 47 mm aluminium frame
- IP68 dust and water resistance and 1 ATM rating
Moto Watch: Battery Life & Performance
- Up to 13 days of battery life with Always‑On Display off
- Around 7 days with AOD on
- Fast charging support — a quick 5‑minute charge can deliver a day’s power
Moto Watch: Health & Fitness Tracking
Motorola worked with Polar, a fitness tech company, to boost the Moto Watch’s health suite. The watch supports:
- Heart rate monitoring
- Blood oxygen (SpO2) tracking
- Stress and sleep monitoring
- Steps and calorie tracking
- Advanced workout insights
These features place the Moto Watch closer to dedicated fitness devices while keeping smartwatch abilities.
Moto Watch: GPS & Connectivity
- Dual‑frequency GPS for accurate tracking outdoors
- Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity
- Bluetooth calling with built‑in speaker and mic
- Moto AI features, including the “Catch me up” summary tool, on supported smartphones
- Dual‑frequency GPS is especially useful for runners, bikers and outdoor fitness tracking, as it offers faster lock times and better location accuracy than single‑band GPS.
Motorola’s Smartwatch Return
With the Moto Watch, Motorola seems serious about reclaiming its position in the Indian wearable market. The company’s last major smartwatch push was several years ago, and recent devices were either licensed or less premium. The new Moto Watch repositions Motorola to compete with brands like Samsung and Amazfit in fitness‑focused smart wearables.
Partnering with Polar also hints that Motorola plans to appeal not just to casual users but to those who want serious fitness insights without spending top‑tier smartwatch prices.
