Motorola has unveiled its latest mid-range smartwatch, the Moto Watch 40, which is positioned as a worthy rival to the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3. Priced at $64.99, the Moto Watch 40 offers a range of features that make it a compelling option for health-conscious consumers.
Similar to its predecessor, the Moto Watch 40 comes equipped with various sensors for monitoring sleep patterns, heart rate, and a pedometer for tracking physical activity. The device offers 24-hour heart rate monitoring and generates detailed charts to illustrate the impact of daily activities on the user’s heart health. Additionally, the smartwatch integrates with Google Fit, allowing users to sync their health data with the platform and other compatible apps.
One of the standout features of the Moto Watch 40 is its impressive 10-day battery life, coupled with rapid charging that takes approximately 25 minutes for a full charge. The device also boasts Smart Notifications for receiving messages from favorite apps and carries an IP67 resistance rating, providing protection against dust and water splashes.
While the Moto Watch 40 shares many similarities with its predecessor, the key difference lies in its screen, featuring a rectangular 1.57-inch LCD display compared to the square-shaped 1.69-inch screen of the Moto Watch 70. The Moto Watch 40 is available in Phantom Black or Rose Gold color options for $64.99 through Motorola’s official website.
The introduction of the Moto Watch 40 coincides with the leaked details of Samsung’s upcoming mid-range smartwatch, the Galaxy Fit 3. Priced at $99, the Galaxy Fit 3 is expected to offer a 1.6-inch AMOLED display, IP68 resistance rating for underwater use, and a 13-day battery life. While the Galaxy Fit 3 presents strong competition, the affordability of the Moto Watch 40 positions it as a compelling alternative.
With the Moto Watch 40 retailing at a lower price point and offering comparable features, Motorola’s latest smartwatch is poised to compete effectively in the mid-range wearable market. As consumer interest in affordable smartwatches continues to grow, the Moto Watch 40’s accessibility and feature set make it a noteworthy contender against its competitors.
