Motorola’s new watch and earbuds are a case study in deja vu
1 min read
Summary
Motorola has released two new smart devices, a smartwatch and earbuds, which look extremely similar to other competitors products already on the market.
The new Motorola smartwatch, the Moto Watch Fit has a similar look to the Apple Watch, whilst the new earbuds, Moto Buds Loop look like Bose Ultra Open earods.
The new smartwatch has all the components required for a basic fitness tracker including a 1.9-inch OLED display and 1,000 nits of brightness, heart rate, calories, sleep, steps, and blood oxygen tracking in addition to built-in GPS and over 100 activity types.
It is estimated that the battery will last for 16 days on a single charge, whilst the device only works with Android phones as it doesn’t run on Wear OS.
The Moto Buds Loop don’t go in the ears, but rest gently on the outer ear, providing a different way of listening to audio whilst also being used for calls and connecting with the Moto AI assistant.
These devices will be available in the coming weeks however, Motorola has not yet released any pricing details.
