Moto Watch Ultra：回归 Wear OS 之作
Just a few months after getting back into the smartwatch game, Motorola is targeting the premium end of the market with the first Moto Watch Ultra. It comes with some upgrades from the recent Moto Watch — most obviously the jump to Wear OS — but lacks the outdoorsy features that would make it a true rival to Samsung and Apple’s Ultra watches.
在重返智能手表市场仅几个月后，摩托罗拉便推出了首款 Moto Watch Ultra，旨在进军高端市场。与此前的 Moto Watch 相比，它进行了一些升级——最明显的就是转向了 Wear OS 系统——但它缺乏使其能够真正与三星和苹果 Ultra 系列手表抗衡的户外功能。
While the Moto Watch ran a custom operating system, Motorola has adopted Google’s Wear OS platform for the Ultra model, with a Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chip to run it. That gives the Ultra an immediate leg up in terms of access to a wide range of apps, interoperability with the company’s Android phones, and support for NFC payments through Google Wallet. Gemini is supported too, along with Motorola’s own Qira AI assistant.
虽然 Moto Watch 运行的是定制操作系统，但摩托罗拉在 Ultra 机型上采用了谷歌的 Wear OS 平台，并搭载了骁龙 W5 Plus Gen 1 芯片。这使得 Ultra 在访问海量应用程序、与摩托罗拉 Android 手机的互操作性以及通过 Google Wallet 支持 NFC 支付方面获得了直接优势。此外，它还支持 Gemini 以及摩托罗拉自家的 Qira AI 助手。
The downside is battery life. While the Moto Watch boasted an impressive 13 days of runtime, Motorola is only predicting 50 hours of life for the Ultra, and that’s with the always-on display switched off.
缺点在于电池续航。Moto Watch 曾拥有令人印象深刻的 13 天续航表现，而摩托罗拉预计 Ultra 的续航仅为 50 小时，且这还是在关闭息屏显示（always-on display）的情况下。
At 51g and 12mm thick, the Ultra is a fairly stocky smartwatch, though its 46mm face is actually a little smaller than the normal Moto Watch. Despite that, it actually fits in a larger 1.5-inch OLED display, thanks to a much smaller bezel. The stainless steel body comes in either black or silver, and both ship with a pair of 22mm straps in the box, one silicone and one leather. The silver watch gets green silicone and brown leather, while the black body comes with black, and more black.
Ultra 重 51 克，厚 12 毫米，是一款相当厚实的智能手表，尽管其 46 毫米的表盘实际上比普通的 Moto Watch 还要小一点。尽管如此，得益于更窄的边框，它反而容纳了一块更大的 1.5 英寸 OLED 显示屏。不锈钢表壳有黑色和银色可选，包装内均附赠两条 22 毫米表带（一条硅胶，一条皮革）。银色款配备绿色硅胶和棕色皮革表带，而黑色款则全部配备黑色表带。
The Ultra has an IP68 rating, 5ATM of water-resistance, and Gorilla Glass 3 on the face. Health and fitness tracking is handled through a returning partnership with Polar. It covers heart rate, sleep, stress, SpO2, and recovery, with an AI running coach thrown in too, helped by LTE and dual-band GPS. Still, these aren’t the sort of comprehensive outdoor and extreme sports features you’ll find in the latest Apple Watch Ultra or Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra models, and really this is more in line with those companies’ standard smartwatches.
Ultra 具备 IP68 防尘防水等级、5ATM 防水性能，表盘覆盖大猩猩玻璃 3 代。健康与健身追踪功能通过与 Polar 的再次合作实现，涵盖心率、睡眠、压力、血氧饱和度（SpO2）和恢复情况监测，并内置了 AI 跑步教练，同时支持 LTE 和双频 GPS。不过，这些功能并非你在最新的 Apple Watch Ultra 或三星 Galaxy Watch Ultra 上看到的那种全面的户外和极限运动功能，它实际上更接近这些公司标准版智能手表的定位。
That’s borne out by the price: The Moto Watch Ultra will cost just $349.99, about half the price of those other Ultras, but a little over double the $149.99 Moto Watch. It’ll be available starting September 10th.
价格也印证了这一点：Moto Watch Ultra 的售价仅为 349.99 美元，约为其他 Ultra 机型价格的一半，但比 149.99 美元的 Moto Watch 贵了一倍多。该产品将于 9 月 10 日正式上市。
