Moto Watch Ultra Hands-On: A Rival to Google's Pixel Watch 5

Rita, a Senior Writer at Android Police, recently went hands-on with the new Moto Watch Ultra and discovered what Google's Pixel Watch is missing.

The watch has an elegant and classic design reminiscent of the iconic Moto 360 from the 2010s, but it's not exactly the same. The Moto Watch Ultra ticks a lot of good boxes, misses out on a few, and as a Pixel Watch 5 fan, it made Rita jealous in a few key areas.

The watch comes with two bands out of the box, which is a move that recognizes users' desire for versatility during the day. This is a feature that Google or Samsung could learn from, especially since they charge upwards of $80-100 for an extra leather band.

Motorola opted for a few interesting upgrades, including a 550mAh battery that promises to last for 50 hours of active use with Always-On Display off. This is a significant improvement compared to the Pixel Watch's 465mAh battery, which lasts up to 40 hours on a charge.
