Moto Watch Fit joins Motorola’s lineup with May 22 release date
Motorola’s latest wearable, the Moto Watch Fit, is set to launch in the US on May 22. It will be priced at $199 in the US and $249 in Canada, with sales starting on Motorola’s official website and expanding to Amazon and Best Buy in the coming weeks.
Officially unveiled a few weeks ago, the device takes a more fitness-first approach than the rest of Motorola’s smartwatch lineup. While it has the look of a smartwatch, the Fit behaves more like a tracker. It runs on a custom RTOS platform, which means no third-party apps or phone call features. What it does offer is long battery life, built-in GPS and a streamlined fitness experience.
Fitness features without the fuss
The Moto Watch Fit comes with a large 1.9-inch OLED display offering up to 1000 nits of brightness, making it the brightest and most readable of the current Moto range. It has a lightweight aluminum case, just one physical button, and a clean design that draws clear inspiration from the Apple Watch.
Battery life is one of its strongest points. Motorola says you can expect up to 16 days on a single charge, which beats the rest of its lineup by a comfortable margin. Built-in GPS is another win. Unlike the Moto Watch 40, 70 and 120, the Fit doesn’t need a phone nearby to track distance or pace during outdoor workouts.

The Fit is also the most water-ready Moto Watch to date, offering both IP68 and 5 ATM protection. This puts it ahead of all its siblings in durability for swimming and tougher environments. You get the usual heart rate and SpO2 tracking, along with support for over 100 sport modes. But if you’re after voice commands or music control, this probably isn’t the model for you.
A smart midpoint in Motorola’s range
In terms of design and specs, the Fit sits somewhere between the budget-focused Watch 40 and 70, and the feature-packed Watch 120. It skips extras like a mic and speaker but compensates with practical improvements where they count most. The screen is bigger and sharper, the battery lasts longer, and the GPS works independently.
It also supports standard 22mm bands, so it’s easy to swap out for a different look. For a bit of personalisation, Motorola even lets users generate their own watch faces using Moto AI by typing in a simple prompt. It’s not a deep customisation suite, but it adds a fun, low-effort layer to an otherwise no-nonsense device.
If your priority is tracking workouts with minimal hassle, the Moto Watch Fit makes a strong case for itself. It doesn’t do everything, but what it does, it aims to do well. At $199, it offers solid value and should appeal to anyone after a fitness tracker in smartwatch form.
