With its new Moto Watch 2 Fit and Moto Buds 2 Ultra, Motorola is strengthening its ecosystem
Alongside a €1,899 smartphone, Motorola slips in two much more affordable accessories.
Alongside a €1,899 smartphone, Motorola includes two much more affordable accessories.
This November 5, Motorola mainly had a smartphone to sell. The Signature 27, its new very high-end, is priced at €1,899, enough to eclipse everything else in the ad. In the shadow of the flagship, the brand has nevertheless slipped two accessories that are much more accessible.
The Moto Watch 2 Fit succeeds the Moto Watch Fit, launched in spring 2025 below the €100 mark. The price does not change, unlike the engine: for the first time in the Fit range, Motorola is integrating the “Powered by Polar” algorithms, named after the Finnish sports watch specialist. Concretely, the watch recovers several in-house tools from Polar. Running Index, a first for Motorola, assesses aerobic fitness and running efficiency based on heart rate. Nightly Recharge combines the quality of sleep and the recovery of the autonomic nervous system to estimate whether the body has recovered from the day before. Sleep Plus Stages breaks up the night into light, deep, and REM sleep, while Serene guides breathing exercises with real-time feedback. Energy Sources goes so far as to estimate the share of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins mobilized during exercise.
The rest of the program is more classic: more than 100 types of training, a dual frequency GPS supposed to improve outdoor precision, monitoring of heart rate, oxygen saturation and stress. We also find menstrual cycle monitoring, integrated for the first time into a Motorola watch. We will not complain about it, even if the function has been part of the union minimum among the competition for years.
On the hardware side, the 1.85-inch gOLED screen gains an always-on display and climbs to 1,500 nits, compared to 1,000 nits on the first generation. The watch retains an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 3 and double IP68 and 5 ATM certification, which allows you to swim with it. She can also take calls from the wrist, once associated with a smartphone. Three colors are available: Stratified Sea, Pigeon and Ballerina.
The Moto Buds 2 Ultra top the range presented at MWC in March, above the Moto Buds 2 (€79) and the Moto Buds 2 Plus (€149). They are priced at €199, or €50 more than the Plus model. The partnership with Bose remains the main argument: each earphone combines an 11 mm dynamic driver, responsible for bass and body of sound, with a balanced armature, a small transducer specialized in details and treble. The setting bears the Bose SoundDesign signature, with Hi-Res Audio compatibility. Bose QuietControl active noise reduction adapts to the environment, and a Transparency mode allows you to hear an announcement at the station without removing the headphones.
The real novelty lies in the functions. AI Live Translate broadcasts the real-time translation of a conversation directly into the ears. Head Gestures allows you to answer a call with a nod, or to refuse it by shaking it. The Motorola Qira home assistant is triggered by a long press on the left earpiece, while waiting for the “Hey Qira” voice command, promised in the coming months. For calls, Motorola relies on six microphones, three per earpiece, supported by a sensor dedicated to voice capture.
