Motorola's Moto Watch needs to start living up to the brand name

4 days ago | androidcentral.com | Michael Hicks

The Moto Watch Fit is a fascinating case study. Motorola left smartwatches behind for years, licensing out its watches to another company. Now Motorola seems to be stepping back into the fray with the Moto Watch Fit. But it needs more than the Moto Watch name to make its budget squircle watch stand out in a crowded field. Long-time Android fans still think fondly about the Moto 360, which was ahead of its time with its cool gesture controls and seamless design in 2014.

I tested the new Moto G Stylus 2025 and found it surprisingly difficult to put down

Motorola's Stylus lineup has represented the higher end of the company's midrange phones for years. After LG's departure, it was one of the only other smartphones to carry a built-in stylus, aside from Samsung's premium S phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. So naturally, with the Moto G Stylus 2025, there's a bit of pressure to really entice customers away from a flagship phone that costs more than three times as much. Fortunately, I think Motorola has nailed it.
