There’s a new smartwatch that might be worth considering. The Motorola Moto Watch 120 quietly arrived on Amazon at the end of July and is available for an incredibly low price.

The Moto Watch 120 is compatible with both iPhone and Android smartphones. It operates on Moto Watch OS and boasts a long battery life of up to 10 days on a single charge. It features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display and advanced health monitoring capabilities, such as SpO2. The case is made of Zinc Alloy, and the watch offers a resistance rating of IP68, which means it’s protected from dust and provides water resistance up to 1.5 meters.

Other features of the Moto Watch 120 include Google Fit integration, an accelerometer, built-in GPS and Bluetooth 5.3 compatibility, and more. The best part? The Moto Watch 120 is priced at $130. Compare this to the budget-priced second-generation Apple Watch SE and the recently introduced Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, and you can see what a steal the Moto Watch 120 is, especially given its long list of features.

If you didn’t know Motorola produces smartwatches, there’s a reason for that: it technically doesn’t. Instead, a company called CE Brands is responsible for producing them. PhoneArena rightly notes that CE Brands has little social media presence and has not announced the Moto Watch 120 on any platform. This is why sites like Digital Trends and many others are only now reporting on the release.

Motorola has announced new smartphones this year, including the Razr 2024 and Moto G Power 5G. The Razr Plus 2024 is also a recent entry. These phones are getting somewhat lukewarm receptions so far. Maybe a Motorola watch not made by Motorola can turn things around.

I tried to parody the most absurd AI products, but the tech industry beat me to it
The joke was supposed to be that every household object gets cameras, AI insights, and a premium tier. Apparently, that’s now a business plan
Imaginary AI products

I wanted to invent an AI product so silly that no founder could turn it into a seed round.

It had to solve a problem nobody had, collect far more data than the problem deserved, and turn normal behavior into an insight that sounded vaguely disappointed in its owner. Somewhere around the third feature, it would ask for a subscription.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watches may cost more than their predecessors, but the latest leak suggests buyers will at least get some meaningful hardware upgrades for the extra money.

WinFuture claims to have obtained the technical specifications for the Galaxy Watch 9 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung reportedly plans to replace its Exynos processors, increase battery capacity on selected models, and introduce updated connectivity hardware across the lineup.

XREAL’s $299 AR glasses are finally here, and they could be a great travel companion
These AR glasses give you a 147-inch virtual display you can carry around in your pocket

XREAL announced its lower-cost xbx sub-brand earlier this year, and its first product is now available in the U.S. The xbx a01+ costs $299 through XREAL’s online store, putting it below the company’s more expensive AR glasses.

The a01+ is mainly built for watching videos, playing games, or using a laptop on a large virtual screen. It connects to compatible phones, handheld consoles, and computers over USB-C, so it works more like a wearable display than a standalone headset.
