Motorola showed its new moto watch ultra at IFA 2026 in Berlin earlier this month. The intelligent smartwatch features Polar fitness and wellness insights, Wear OS by Google, and LTE eSIM functionality.
Motorola has partnered with Polar for the watch, designed to help wearers better manage stress, analyze their sleep, train more efficiently, and track calories and exercise. Using Polar’s science-backed fitness algorithms, you can access wellness features like Serene, a breathing exercise mode that offers real-time biofeedback for relaxation. It notes how long you spend in the three serenity zones and if they synchronize with your optimal breathing rhythm. There’s also Nightly Recharge, which combines sleep quality and autonomic nervous system (ANS) recovery measurement so you know how well your bodies adjusted from the previous day. With Sleep Plus Stages, you see the quality of your sleep and the time spent in different stages (light, deep, REM) to calculate a personal sleep score.
Activity Goal creates a tailored daily target based on your profile and chosen activity level. Activity Score measures movement and intensity throughout the day, resulting in a personalized score against your goal. Active Intensity Zones give you a breakdown of your activity by intensity level (light, moderate, vigorous) that’s determined by your heart rate and movement.
Inactivity Alert pops up when you have been inactive for too long and encourages an active break. Smart Calories provides an overview of your daily burned calories, considering your heart rate, wrist movement, weight and age. Energy Sources analyzes how your body uses different fuels (fat, carbs, protein) during a workout and offers metabolic insights.
Additionally, the moto watch ultra can monitor key vitals with health tracking sensors. For new and experienced runners, the Running Coach functionality offers guided running and walking workouts right from your wrist. Running Coach is ideal for those who need help with pacing or extra encouragement.
The moto watch ultra is the first moto watch with LTE functionality, allowing you to make or receive calls, send text messages, and manage notifications with an appropriate cellular plan. Use Google Wallet and NFC support to pay at compatible terminals and rely on dual-band GPS for accurate navigation and precise location tracking.
The new moto watch ultra is powered by Wear OS by Google, so you have access to Google Play and Google apps like YouTube Music, Google Maps, Google Messages, Google Gemini, and more.
The moto watch ultra is also the first Motorola wearable with built-in Motorola Qira on compatible Motorola and Lenovo devices. Raise your wrist or simply say “Hey Qira” to naturally ask questions or pull up saved information from the memory across Lenovo and Motorola devices, too. These activities are boosted by the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 platform.
Equipped with 1.5-inch, always-on OLED display with 2,700 nits of brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass 3, it has a 46mm stainless steel body and it compatible with third-party 22mm bands. Choose between a breathable silicone band in Pantone Black Beauty or Mountain View and a genuine leather option that features Pantone Black Beauty or Pantone Nuthatch.
Meeting both IP68 and 5ATM ratings, you can swim with the watch. You get up to two days of active use per charge and up to 24 hours with a 15-minute charge.
The moto watch ultra is available for an MSRP of U$350.
