Motorola trims Moto Watch lineup down to two models

Motorola’s smartwatch range now looks much smaller. We spotted that the Moto Watch 40, Moto Watch 70 and Moto Watch 120 no longer appear on the company’s wearable page. This leaves only the Moto Watch Fit and the newer Moto Watch 2026 as the visible lineup.

That may sound like a small website change, but it looks more like a product reset. Motorola had built up a slightly messy smartwatch range over the past couple of years, with several affordable models sitting close together on price and purpose.


The old range has vanished

The current Motorola wearable page in the US now focuses on just two devices. One is the Moto Watch Fit, the squarish fitness-first model announced last year. The other is the Moto Watch 2026, the newer round model that showed up at CES with Polar-powered health and fitness features.

Missing from that page are the Moto Watch 40, Moto Watch 70 and Moto Watch 120. These were previously part of Motorola’s smartwatch family, covering the lower-cost end of the market with a mix of rectangular and round designs. In the UK it is the same, these models no longer appear on the company’s website.

The removal does not necessarily mean support has ended. It also does not mean remaining stock has disappeared from every retailer. But from Motorola’s own product-facing website, the message looks fairly clear. The company is no longer presenting those older models as part of its active smartwatch range.


Moto Watch Fit already hinted at the shift

Moto Watch Fit was the first obvious sign that Motorola wanted a cleaner wearable strategy. It moved away from the older Watch 40, 70 and 120 formula by focusing more directly on fitness tracking, battery life and outdoor use.

The device has a large 1.9-inch OLED display, built-in GPS and claimed battery life of up to 16 days. That immediately separated it from the older models, which relied on connected GPS and topped out at around 10 days.

It also runs a custom RTOS rather than trying to behave like a full smartwatch. That means fewer app-style features, but it also keeps the device lighter and more focused. In that sense, Moto Watch Fit sits closer to a fitness tracker with a large screen than a traditional app-heavy smartwatch.


Moto Watch 2026 fills the round watch slot

The Moto Watch 2026 then gives Motorola a more traditional smartwatch shape. It uses a 47mm circular case, a 1.43-inch OLED display, dual-frequency GPS and a design that looks more polished than the older budget models.

The more interesting part is the Polar involvement. Motorola has built the health and fitness side around Polar features, including workout tracking, sleep stages, recovery insights and metrics such as Nightly Recharge. That gives the watch a clearer identity than the older models had.

It is still not a Wear OS device. Motorola uses a stripped-down operating system that borrows some familiar visual ideas from Google’s smartwatch interface, but without the full app store or third-party app ecosystem. That should help explain the claimed battery life of up to 13 days, or around seven days with the always-on display enabled.

This puts Moto Watch 2026 in a fairly specific lane. It is not trying to be a Galaxy Watch or Pixel Watch replacement. It is more of a lightweight smartwatch with stronger fitness software than buyers might expect at this level.


A simpler lineup is easier to sell

The range now has a much clearer shape. Moto Watch Fit handles the lightweight fitness-tracker side of things, while Moto Watch 2026 takes the round smartwatch slot with Polar-powered recovery features.

That is probably the whole point of the cleanup. The older Moto Watch 40, 70 and 120 gave Motorola more options, but also more overlap.

There is also a software clue. The current Moto Watch Android app listing says it supports the 2025 Moto Watch Fit, Moto Watch and future models, while older models are not compatible.

That does not confirm the older watches are being discontinued, but it does suggest Motorola is separating the new generation from the old one. The website now points buyers toward two products, not a list of similar budget watches.
