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.

Garmin has just unveiled the two latest models in its popular Forerunner series of running watches, boasting advanced training metrics and the most vibrant and visible displays the company has ever put on its smartwatches.

The midrange Forerunner 265 series is joined by the premium Forerunner 965 in adopting AMOLED displays, which now adorn the entire lineup. The brighter display doesn’t just look great; it also ensures that runners can more easily check their stats even on the sunniest days. It also puts Garmin's display quality on par with the OLED screens we see on the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra.

Speaking to CNBC, Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang said that a new version of the Motorola Razr will be released "very soon," while also noting that reception to the Razr foldable lineup has been "good." And compared to past versions of the Razr, Yang also went on to say that he thinks the new 2023 model is "much better."

Xiaomi’s latest smartwatch puts the Pixel Watch to shame in a big way
The Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro worn on a person's wrist.

The world of smartwatches has finally caught up with traditional watchmakers (and Apple) and has discovered that making something that goes on our wrists out of quality materials is the way forward.

The Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro — announced at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 — has a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal over the screen, and a soft leather strap. All that makes it far more desirable than ones made out of “lesser” materials. I’ve worn it to find out more.
