The new Motorola Watch Ultra combines advanced health and tracking features within a 46mm premium stainless-steel chassis. It packs surprisingly powerful specs for how thin and light it is. This smartwatch features a bright 1.5-inch pOLED display with up to 2,700 nits of peak brightness, so there shouldn't be any problem using it outdoors under direct sunlight.

The display features always-on time, date, and notification support, as well as Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch protection. Motorola equipped this watch with the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor and Wear OS 6. This should result in a visibly smooth interface and user experience. Motorola also added its Qira AI assistant for hands-free operations.

The Watch Ultra is also the first Motorola watch to feature eSIM for LTE connectivity. You can make calls, texts, browse the internet, and more without requiring a smartphone. This smartwatch also features dual-band GPS, which is great for runners and trekkers, as it would allow them to track their speed, distance travelled, location, and more without carrying a bulky smartphone.

The Motorola smartwatch will also be great for swimmers, as it features an IP68/5ATM water resistance certification, but that's not all. Motorola went a step further by partnering with Polar to offer advanced wellness insights, including Activity Score, Running Coach, Nightly Recharge, Sleep Plus Stages, Smart Calories, and more. They are great for sports and fitness enthusiasts who want great tracking to stay in the best possible shape.

The new Motorola Watch Ultra will be available across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Starting at €429, it will roll out in the coming weeks.
