The Moto Watch 100 could be Motorola’s lightest smartwatch yet

A new Motorola smartwatch is on its way as renders and specs of the Moto Watch 100 leaked online in advance of its anticipated launch. CE Brands, the current owner of Motorola-branded smartwatches, has already said it has completed work on a Moto Watch 100, which is tipped to be an affordable offering.

The latest development comes from 91Mobiles. The publication has shared renders and purported specs of the upcoming Moto Watch 100. It reveals a circular display with a minimalistic design. The right edge seems to house two buttons with a metallic finish, while the watch body could have a matte finish. It might appear from the renders that the Moto Watch 100 could sport a rotating bezel, but the report says the device will not have that feature.

The Moto Watch 100 is said to have a 1.3-inch circular LCD with a 360-by-360-pixel resolution. It could measure 42mm by 46mm by 11.9mm and weigh 29 grams, which would make it the lightest Motorola smartwatch. The smartwatch is rumored to pack a 355mAh battery. It could offer Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, instead of theBluetooth 5.2 found on the latest wearables. It is still unknown if the smartphone will run Google’s new WearOS. The Moto Watch 100 could run a real-time operating system since it is said to be an entry-level device.

The upcoming Motorola smartwatch could feature a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, HRM, SP02 sensor, and ambient light sensor. It is said to offer sleep tracking and a step counter. There is no information on the number of sport modes that will be available on the device. It is likely to launch in the following weeks. Two more Motorola-branded smartwatches are also expected to launch by the end of March 2022.

I should hate the TicWatch Atlas smartwatch, but I just can’t
The Mobvoi TicWatch Atlas hanging from a branch.

I really shouldn’t like the Mobvoi TicWatch Atlas, and I perhaps should give it a bit of a kicking for being basically the same as Mobvoi’s last two Wear OS smartwatches, but I just can’t do it.

The Wear OS smartwatch landscape has become increasingly barren over the last year or so, yet Mobvoi’s still here, giving its already excellent smartwatch a makeover every now and then to keep us hooked. And I’m so glad it is.
What is the TicWatch Atlas?

Motorola had a rough 2024. Here’s what it needs to do in 2025

Change is in the air. Leaves are turning into lovely shades of yellow and red, the temperature is getting crisper, and nights are getting longer. Fall is officially here, as is the rapidly approaching end of 2024.

This is the time of year when most companies have released all of their big products, and as such, it's a good time to look back at what worked, what didn't work, and how that can be used to improve things in the new year. Motorola had a rollercoaster of ups and downs in 2024, and with 2025 rearing its head, there are a few things I think the company needs to focus on for a smoother year ahead.
Keep up the momentum of the Razr series

Remember Moto AI? Motorola finally has an update on it

When Motorola launched the Razr Plus 2024 this year, it also mentioned some of its own AI-powered tools, appropriately named Moto AI. However, we’ve only seen Moto AI through a couple of image-generation tools like Magic Canvas and Style Sync. Now, Motorola has just announced at Lenovo Tech World 2024 that more Moto AI tools are coming, at least in beta form.

Motorola discussed some Moto AI features earlier this year, including Catch Me Up and Remember This. The Catch Me Up feature lets you get a prioritized summary of your notifications so you don’t have to scroll through a bunch of missed notifications. There is also Pay Attention, which helps users recall instructions or details without having to write notes or listen to long recordings. Remember This captures live moments or onscreen information when activated and saves it while providing AI-powered insights.
