Motorola has expanded its wearable lineup with two new devices announced alongside the Signature 27 smartphone. The Moto Watch 2 Fit brings Polar-powered fitness features to the Fit series for the first time, while the Moto Buds 2 Ultra become Motorola's most premium true wireless earbuds yet, featuring Bose audio tuning and a stronger focus on creators and podcasters.
The Moto Watch 2 Fit centers on a 1.85-inch OLED display with a 390 x 450 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 1,500 nits of peak brightness. The panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and framed by thin 2mm bezels. Underneath, the watch runs RTOS and includes a 400mAh battery. Motorola says it can last up to 7 days with the always-on display enabled, up to 12 days with the always-on display turned off, and up to 16 days in low-power mode. A 10-minute charge is said to provide up to 24 hours of use.
The watch measures 42.88 x 38.65 x 9.95mm, weighs 28.1g, and has an aluminum body. It is rated IP68 and 5ATM for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear and wet-weather activities.
Moto Watch 2 Fit design highlights
The biggest addition in this generation is a set of Polar fitness features, including Running Index, which provides insight into aerobic fitness and running efficiency. Other Polar-powered capabilities include Nightly Recharge, Sleep Plus Stages, Serene breathing exercises, Smart Calories, Energy Sources, and Activity Intensity Zones. Motorola's own heart-rate, SpO2, and stress tracking are also included, along with automatic detection for more than 100 workout types and dual-frequency L1/L5 GPS for improved location accuracy.
For the first time on a Moto watch, menstrual cycle tracking is supported. The watch also offers Bluetooth 5.4 call handling, and Motorola says Qira support will arrive in the coming months.
The Moto Buds 2 Ultra sit at the top of Motorola's current earbuds lineup. They feature Bose SoundDesign tuning, Bose QuietControl active noise cancellation, and a transparency mode. Each earbud pairs an 11mm dynamic driver with a Knowles balanced armature, aiming for a fuller sound profile with stronger detail across the frequency range.

The earbuds support Hi-Res Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Head Tracking on compatible Motorola phones. Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity includes SBC, AAC, LHDC 4, and LHDC 5 codec support. For calls and voice capture, each bud has three microphones and a dedicated voice pickup unit, positioning the Buds 2 Ultra as a stronger option for content creators and podcasters.
Battery life is rated at up to 8 hours on a single charge, with up to 37 hours total when using the case. Motorola has not specified whether those figures include ANC, so they are likely based on ANC being disabled. A 10-minute charge should deliver up to 3 hours of playback. The case supports Qi2 wireless charging, and both the buds and case are IP57-rated.
Additional features include AI Live Translate, head gestures for answering or declining calls, Dual Connection, Audio Share, Find Hub integration, and access to Motorola Qira by long-pressing the left earbud. A "Hey Qira" wake word is also expected later.

The Moto Watch 2 Fit starts at €119 and is offered in Pantone Tracing Gray and Pantone Elegance casings, with Pantone Stratified Sea, Pantone Pigeon, and Pantone Ballerina straps. The Moto Buds 2 Ultra are priced at €199 and come in Pantone Temple Gray and Pantone Reflecting Pond. Both devices are expected to arrive in select countries across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, North America, and Asia-Pacific in the coming weeks.
