The watch and new ear of Motorola is a case study in Deja Fu


Phones are not the only tools that Motorola announces today. But while the new Razr folds raise a feeling of nostalgia to the past, the latest smart watch and crushing ear calls for a strong feeling of Déjà vu. Dealing with the new Moto Watch episode and the Moto Buds episode, it looks as if I look at the Motorola cloning with Apple Watch and Bose Ultra Open. Do you not know that, the models near Buds Loop Demo say “Sound by Bose”.

I mean, just see Moto Watch Fit next to Apple Watch 10 series. Motorola is not the first smart watch maker to copy the Apple design language – see Samsung’s 2024 Galaxy Monitoring Group – But it is disappointing when you think of Og Moto 360. With an elegant circular face, it was one of the prominent smart watches in the first days of Werroid Wear. This new watch is the first smart watch of Motorola in nearly a decade ( Disappointment 2019 Moto 360 It was already made by an exotic company called EBUYNOW), but it is difficult to find the DNA of Motorola here.

On paper, there is nothing mistake With Moto Watch Fit. It’s just a little boring. It has all essential fitness tracking components. There is an OLED 1.9 -inch screen with 1000 sets of brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It has 22 mm switching ranges with the standard hall that appears and functions a lot Like Apple. You can track the heart rate, calories, sleep, steps and blood oxygen. The experimental model that I see even has rings to close it. There is a built -in GPS and more than 100 types of activity. To resist water and dust, you have the IP68 and 5atm classification. Therefore, believe in washing dishes, showering and long diving in the pool. You can get a carved green nylon belt that looks like Apple Sport.

The main differences that I am around the clock are that this is the only Android watch, it’s no He ran from wearing the operating system, and the Bw has some edges. Like the budget hours of Amazfit and the origin OnePlus watchThis works on a real -time operating system. This most likely does not mean that there are no application options belonging to an external party, but on the positive side, you will get a wonderful battery life. In this case, an estimated 16 days for one charge.

Moto Buds episode is a little more exciting, but for rocks and may just be Swarovski crystals. Like Bose Ultra Open, this does not go in Your ear. They embrace your ear side – a type of conch hole. Open ear buds pass a moment, and the entire stadium here is that you have a piece of “technical jewelry” that allows you to listen to the sound, take calls, and stay aware of your surroundings, and You look good and you are in it.

There are two copies of the Buds episode: “regular” version in deep green and another color that resembles champagne with the Swarovski crystals mentioned above. Both feel the weight in the ear, although I could not test the sound because Motorola was not associated with any experimental models that people experience. (Motorola says in its press statement that people will feel “pleasant surprise” with sound quality, and in the keyword, Hardly She confirmed her partnership with Boss. Take what you want from that.)

Despite the brilliance, the material does not feel as much as Bose buds. The middle part is made of a flexible silicon -like material, and there are no hinges. This is so that you can rest assured that it will deal with rain and sweat, although it has a strange effect on the Swarovski version. It is like the inclusion of crystals in the rubber. Maybe I am very careful in the city, but who will go in running or alone walking alone?

Specifications, Motorola did not go much to the details. There are four microphones, 12 mm operating programs, spatial sound, and shipping cases that take about 60 minutes. You can get up to eight hours of playing on one charge, while the case provides up to 37 hours of potential battery life. An artificial intelligence -backed noise reduction of calls, and when it is associated with a motorola phone, you can use it to move the Moto AI assistant. Otherwise, they are regular Bluetooth headsets. unless Cate to have Lenovo devices. Then you can take advantage of the Smart Connect feature to switch between Motorola and Lenovo devices smoothly.

Based on the keyword for the launch of Motorola – made by many partners such as Swarovski, Pantone, Bose and Lenovo, for some reason, the company is strongly inclined to design to design itself from competition. You can see that in how to choose bold colors for RAZR phones, deep -deep green for its accessories, and again, Swarovski Parkle. But again, after spending some time with these accessories, they only get part of the road there. I liked the way I looked at the BlingD-Out on my ears. It was fun in a moderate way that both the watch and regular buds were inadvertently match my shirt. But if you are thinking about how my most hard -scaling money is spent, I am more inclined to invest in quality or innovative products, many of which also contain devices and designs.

The unknown factor in all this is the price. Fullly literally, I can’t tell you how much it will cost the buds or watch in North America, where Motorola refused to give us this information. All I can say is that the buds will be available in the “selected countries” this summer, while the watch will be available in the coming weeks. Motorola says pricing will be detected closer to shipping. Motorola refused to answer when asked whether it was due to the uncertainty about President Trump’s tariff. However, we have UK prices. The regular Moto Buds episode will cost 129.99 pounds, while the Swarovski version costs 249.99 pounds. Moto Watch Fit 89.99 pounds will cost £.
