Motorola is back again of smart watches! Only a few months after our politely request, the company launched the Watch Fit motorcycle, marking its return to a sector where it has been largely absent for many years, apart from a handful of only American devices.
However, if you were hope for a gender definition device like the RAZR, you will be bitterly disappointed. Adjustment of the watch is a budgetary smartwatch at the price of $ 79 and devoid of any real personality, which means that it will quickly get lost in the sea other portable devices.
As you can see in the photos, it looks more like than a temporary resemblance to the Apple Watch, although opting for a much cheaper plastic back which seems fragile. I would be happy for Motorola to add to the weight of 25 g of Watch Fit (without strap) in exchange for something more robust.

I really want Motorola to have opted for a circular design like the Pixel Watch 3 rather than Square – it corresponds to what we have seen on most previous smartwatches of the company such as Moto 360 2 from (Calks Calendar) 10 years ago, and in my opinion, it looks better on your wrist.
Discover my other practical thoughts of the Motorola launch event:
It's not all bad …
This does not mean that there is nothing to love here. The Watch Fit offers an attractive 1.3 inch in Oled covered with Gorilla Glass 3 Hard to start.
In addition to the IP68 and 5ATM ratings for water and dust resistance, it should be able to easily resist elements.
A variety of integrated sensors allows you to follow the heart rate, steps and calories on more than 100 training sessions, while GPS (far from being given at this price) allows you to follow your routes.
I could easily see him accompany me on my training, with all the statistics available on the Compagnon Moto Fit application.
And a key advantage compared to most smart watches in the battery life is the lifespan. Motorola claims that the Watch Fit will last up to an incredible 16 days on a single load.

I have not yet had the chance to test this correctly for myself, of course, but if it approaches, I will be very impressed and it will be a key reason to buy it on key rivals from Huawei and Xiaomi.
The high life of the battery is the direct result of Motorola elected the Google use platform in favor of its own stripped software. It is surprisingly intuitive and easy to navigate, although I think I would possibly miss the option of downloading third -party applications.
I also particularly appreciated the pre-applied fabric strap, which just offered the right balance between comfort and safety.
Since it will only start at $ 79 when it is sold in May, the Watch Fit motorcycle could always represent an excellent value for money. I just want Motorola to have been a little more ambitious with her first foray into the United Kingdom and in many other markets.
Motorola organized my trip to New York. I accepted, because there were no alternative means to obtain practical time with the RAZR 60 Ultra at the launch. There was no prior condition on what I write or how I assess the device.
