Motorola's first Wear OS watch sacrifices 13-day battery for 50 hours at double the price

Motorola's Moto Watch Ultra launches September 10th at $349.99 — the company's first device running Google's Wear OS. It packs a Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chip, LTE, dual-band GPS, and Polar health tracking. Battery life drops to roughly 50 hours versus 13 days on the $149.99 Moto Watch (2026), which uses a proprietary low-power OS. Motorola has not explained how Gemini and Qira, both onboard, will coexist.
