The new moto watch is the first to introduce Motorola’s partnership with Polar, a leader in wearable sports and fitness

The new moto watch is an all-time companion, bringing sophistication and connectivity directly to one’s wrist. It’s also the first device to introduce Motorola’s new partnership with Polar, a global leader in wearable sports and fitness technology with nearly 50 years of experience. This collaboration is part of Motorola’s lifestyle-tech strategy, combining both brands’ expertise to create an accessory that lets users maximize their physical wellness and day-to-day routine.

Best known for creating the world’s first wireless heart rate monitor, Polar is an authority in the fitness and wellness space. Its science-based tools help users accurately track their fitness performance and bio markers for deeper insights. Teaming up to enhance users’ overall wellbeing, Polar and Motorola want consumers to better understand their health while staying connected on the go.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Motorola on the new moto watch,” Eric Chouhmat, Executive Vice President, Global Sales at Polar said. “Motorola has been developing innovative, lifestyle technology since the beginning, and together, we are able to create a device that blends style with wellness. Our performance tracking capabilities help users measure lifestyle impacts, assess physical conditions and recognize patterns. This gives users a comprehensive view of their well-being, right from their wrist.”

Powered by Polar, the moto watch helps consumers take advantage of wellness tracking solutions to receive fitness insights that are accurate, deep and available in real time. Specifically, users can: 

• Log calories to help with training, so they can better understand their daily burn. Smart Calories break down the amount of energy spent during a workout as well as their daily caloric expenditure. Users can also see the energy sources their body is utilizing to inform post-session nutrition. 
• Track workouts to improve physical fitness and achieve their daily Activity Goal. Whether it’s recording steps, measuring distance or documenting exercise, consumers can refer to their Activity Score and see how intense or effective their workout was in relation to their target. Plus, if users have been sitting for a while, they’ll be prompted to move with an Inactivity Alert.
• Unlock sleep insights, including sleep score, recovery levels and a clear overview of light, deep and REM sleep stages. Consumers can also turn to Nightly Recharge™, an overnight recovery measurement that demonstrates how one’s body has responded to stress, so they can pivot accordingly and reach their training goals.

When wearing the watch, users can continuously monitor their heart rate and see how their body recovers from exercise and other stress factors. It also offers dual-frequency GPS—ideal for running enthusiasts—making it easier to track and record runs with more reliable distance, pace and performance data. If users need some extra help staying consistent, they can set customized goals and reminders, from hydration to medication alerts, on their moto watch.

“Health and fitness are essential parts of our consumers’ lives and a core pillar of our lifestyle-tech strategy,” Ruben Castano, VP of MBG Design, Brand & CX at Motorola, said. “With the moto watch, we set out to create a device that supports wellbeing through design, personalization and smart innovation. Partnering with Polar allowed us to combine their leadership in fitness tracking with Motorola’s design DNA, resulting in a watch that adapts to you, empowering a more confident, connected and balanced lifestyle.”

The moto watch can be worn all day as it features a 47mm, round face with a sleek, stainless steel crown and aluminum frame. Users can choose from various Pantone-curated bands,¹ from silicone options to metal ones, and easily transform their look with third-party 22mm band compatibility.¹ Prepped for everyday activities, the watch offers IP68 underwater protection with 1 ATM.³ Plus, durable Corning® Gorilla Glass® 3 helps protect it from scratches. The moto watch also features up to 13 days of battery life² or up to 7 days if consumers prefer an always-on display.² Users can even take a quick, hands-free call⁴ with the built-in microphone and speaker system or lean on audio notification alerts to keep them in the loop.
