Motorola launches Moto Watch in India with Polar Health Tracking and classic design

Motorola has expanded its wearable portfolio in India with the launch of the Moto Watch, a smartwatch that blends a traditional round-dial design with Polar-powered health and fitness tracking. Priced starting at Rs 5,999, the Moto Watch targets users who want reliable wellness features without the flashy, gadget-heavy look of most modern smartwatches.

Rather than positioning it as a full-fledged smartwatch replacement, Motorola is marketing the Moto Watch as a wellness-first wearable that looks like a classic timepiece but delivers accurate health insights in the background.

Design and display: Classic meets modern

The Moto Watch features a 1.4-inch round OLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, housed inside a sturdy aluminium case. The minimalist design gives it a premium, understated look suitable for both casual and formal wear.

It supports an always-on display, complemented by multiple traditional-style watch faces that enhance its analogue-inspired appeal. With IP68 dust and water resistance and 1ATM certification, the watch can easily handle workouts, rain, and daily splashes, making it practical for everyday use.

Health and fitness tracking powered by Polar

One of the biggest highlights of the Moto Watch is its integration with Polar’s health ecosystem, known globally for accurate fitness metrics. The watch offers:

• Continuous heart rate monitoring
• Always-on SpO2 (blood oxygen) tracking
• Advanced sleep tracking, including Polar’s Nightly Recharge feature, which analyses recovery and readiness levels
• Automatic workout detection for common activities

For outdoor fitness enthusiasts, the watch includes dual-band GPS (L1 + L5), ensuring more precise tracking for runs, walks, and cycling sessions even in dense urban areas.

Battery life: Built for long usage

Battery performance is another strong point. Motorola claims the Moto Watch can last up to 13 days on a single charge under standard usage. With the always-on display enabled, users can still expect around 7 days of battery life.

Fast charging support adds convenience—just five minutes of charging can deliver up to a full day of usage, making it ideal for users with busy schedules.

Connectivity and smart features

In terms of connectivity, the Moto Watch supports Bluetooth 5.3 with BLE, ensuring stable pairing with smartphones. It also includes a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling basic interaction features such as alerts and notifications, though it remains focused more on wellness than advanced smartwatch apps.

Price, variants, and availability

The Moto Watch is available in six different variants, offering flexibility in both style and pricing:

• Silicone strap variant: Rs 5,999
• Metal and leather strap variants: Rs 6,999

Consumers can choose between silicone, leather-style, or stainless steel straps. The smartwatch will go on sale soon via Motorola’s official website and authorised retail partners, alongside the brand’s latest smartphones.

Who should buy the Moto Watch?

The Moto Watch is best suited for users who prioritise health tracking, long battery life, and elegant design over app-heavy smartwatch features. It appeals especially to professionals, fitness-conscious users, and anyone who prefers a classic watch aesthetic with smart wellness capabilities.
