Motorola quietly released a new smartwatch, and it looks great

There’s a new smartwatch that might be worth considering. The Motorola Moto Watch 120 quietly arrived on Amazon at the end of July and is available for an incredibly low price.

The Moto Watch 120 is compatible with both iPhone and Android smartphones. It operates on Moto Watch OS and boasts a long battery life of up to 10 days on a single charge. It features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display and advanced health monitoring capabilities, such as SpO2. The case is made of Zinc Alloy, and the watch offers a resistance rating of IP68, which means it’s protected from dust and provides water resistance up to 1.5 meters.

Other features of the Moto Watch 120 include Google Fit integration, an accelerometer, built-in GPS and Bluetooth 5.3 compatibility, and more. The best part? The Moto Watch 120 is priced at $130. Compare this to the budget-priced second-generation Apple Watch SE and the recently introduced Samsung Galaxy Watch 7, and you can see what a steal the Moto Watch 120 is, especially given its long list of features.

If you didn’t know Motorola produces smartwatches, there’s a reason for that: it technically doesn’t. Instead, a company called CE Brands is responsible for producing them. PhoneArena rightly notes that CE Brands has little social media presence and has not announced the Moto Watch 120 on any platform. This is why sites like Digital Trends and many others are only now reporting on the release.

Motorola has announced new smartphones this year, including the Razr 2024 and Moto G Power 5G. The Razr Plus 2024 is also a recent entry. These phones are getting somewhat lukewarm receptions so far. Maybe a Motorola watch not made by Motorola can turn things around.

You can now make your current smartwatch look just like the Pixel Watch 3

Using a sideloading APK, you can now make your current Wear OS smartwatch resemble the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 3, even before its official release next month. The Pixel Watch 3, announced last week, will be available in a new size with a larger display and improved components. It will also feature some fancy new watch faces.

To get started, you'll need to download the latest Google Pixel Watch Faces APK (v3.0.119.647124927) on APKMirror. Unfortunately, as Android Police explains, you need to install the APK on your watch, not your phone, to get the new watch faces. As Android Police reminds us, this is a "convoluted process" at best.

Yesterday, renders and specs for a new Motorola phone leaked online. Fast-forward a few hours, and the phone is now official! It's called the Motorola Edge 50, and it looks like a fairly interesting release.

Design-wise, the Motorola Edge 50 (unsurprisingly) looks a lot like other Motorola Edge phones released this year. It comes in three colors, including Jungle Green and Pantone Peach Fuzz with a vegan leather finish, while the third Koala Grey color comes in a vegan suede backside.

Motorola’s been pumping out new phones nonstop this year, and it doesn’t look to be stopping anytime soon. According to a report from 91Mobiles Hindi, Motorola is about to launch yet another phone in India: the Motorola Edge 50 5G. This first set of renders gives us a good look at what to expect.

The Motorola Edge 50 5G will have the unique title of being the world’s slimmest MIL-810 military-grade phone. However, the rugged phone features some interesting design choices that seem contradictory to a “military-grade” phone.
