An unannounced Motorola smartwatch carrying the internal name “Moto Watch Ultra” has leaked in a set of exclusive images published by The Mac Observer. The images show a 46mm stainless steel case, a large rotating crown, a secondary side button, and a numbered bezel around a circular display. Text printed on the case back confirms built-in GPS, LTE, IP68 dust and water resistance, and water protection to 50 metres.
What the leaked images show
The leaked images show a circular display ringed by a numbered bezel, a large rotating crown, and an additional button on the case side. The leaked unit comes with a black leather-style strap with red stitching and a matching red inner lining. The watch face displays steps, activity data, calories, time and date. A large optical sensor cluster sits on the underside for health and fitness tracking.
The case itself measures 46mm and is built from stainless steel, a step up from the aluminium frame on the current Apple Watch-rivalling Moto Watch line.
Confirmed connectivity and durability
The case-back markings confirm built-in GPS and LTE, IP68 dust and water resistance, and water protection to 50 metres (5ATM).
What remains unconfirmed
Motorola has not announced the device, so release date, price, availability, battery life and operating system all remain unknown.
Positioning against the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
Motorola built its Android wearable reputation on the original Moto 360, then largely sat out the premium end of the market while Samsung, Google and OnePlus pushed further into it. A stainless steel, LTE-equipped Ultra model would put the device in direct competition with the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the wider premium tier of running watches, rather than the budget segment Motorola’s recent Moto Watch models have targeted.
