In addition to announcing the Motorola Edge+ (2023) and a couple of G series smartphones, Motorola also announced two smartwatches. The Moto Watch 70 and Moto Watch 200 smartwatches have been announced.
Both of these devices include a squarish design. The Moto Watch 200 is the more powerful of the two, as the Moto Watch 70 is an entry-level offering. Let’s talk about the Moto Watch 200 first, shall we?
The Moto Watch 200 is the more powerful watch here
The Moto Watch 200 features a 1.78-inch AMOLED display, which sits inside a 45mm aluminum case. This smartwatch is 5ATM water resistant, and it does support heart rate tracking. It has an SPO2 monitor too, and the same goes for the accelerometer and an altimeter.
This smartwatch can track your activity across over 28 sports, and it does come with built-in GPS. It is also compatible with both Google Fit and Strava, so you can sync everything as you please.
No, the watch does not run Wear OS. It comes with Motorola’s Moto Watch OS. A 355mAh battery sits inside this watch, and Motorola says you can get up to 14 days of battery life with regular usage. Not a single Wear OS watch can come close to that, as they’re usually limited to 1-2 days.
Bluetooth 5.3 is supported here, and the watch does feature fall detection alerts too. It comes with a microphone and a speaker, in case you’d like to conduct calls via the watch. The Moto Watch 200 has been announced in Gold and Phantom Black colors.
The Moto Watch 70 offers an LCD display, IP67 certification & over 100 watch faces
The Motorola Moto Watch 70, on the other hand, comes with a case made out of zinc alloy. It features a 1.69-inch LCD display, which is curved a bit. This smartwatch is IP67 rated, and it does come with a heart rate sensor, and a temperature sensor.
When it comes to activity tracking and sleep tracking, it has the same features as its more expensive sibling. You’re also getting over 100 watch face options on this smartwatch.
Bluetooth 5.0 LE is supported here, not Bluetooth 5.3, and Moto Watch OS comes pre-installed. A 355mAh battery can be found on the inside, and Motorola claims it can provide up to 10 days of active use. This smartwatch comes in a single color, Phantom Black.
