Motorola's moto watch ultra Brings Qira AI to Your Wrist

At the Lenovo Innovation World event during IFA 2026, Motorola took the wraps off a slew of new gadgets, but the star of the show was undoubtedly the moto watch ultra—the company's first wearable to come with its own AI assistant, Qira, built right in.

Imagine this: you're juggling coffee, keys, and a to-do list, and you need a quick answer. Instead of fumbling for your phone, you just lift your wrist and ask. That's the promise of the moto watch ultra. With a simple wrist raise or a "Hey Qira," you can tap into a personal AI that's not just a voice assistant but a memory keeper, pulling information from across your supported Motorola and Lenovo devices. It's like having a helpful sidekick that remembers what you forgot.

But Qira isn't just about convenience; it's about connection. The watch is the first LTE-enabled Moto Watch, meaning you can leave your phone behind and still make calls, send texts, and even ask Qira questions over the cellular connection. Whether you're on a run or just running errands, staying connected has never felt so liberating.

Under the hood, the watch runs on Wear OS by Google, so you get access to Google Play and a universe of compatible apps. It supports NFC for contactless payments, and with IP68 and 5ATM ratings, it's ready for a swim—there's even a dedicated swimming mode. For fitness enthusiasts, Motorola has teamed up with Polar again to bring features like Serene breathing exercises, Nightly Recharge recovery tracking, Sleep Plus Stages for sleep monitoring, and Running Coach for guided workouts. Plus, the watch promises two system updates, so it'll stay fresh for a while.

Qira itself is a personal AI developed by Lenovo and Motorola, and it's expanding its reach. Four extensions were announced: support for Lenovo PCs with at least 16GB of RAM, gradual rollout on select Motorola edge, signature, and razr models with Android 17, and integration with email, calendar, and collaboration apps through Workato. This means Qira can help you send emails or schedule meetings, all with your permission.

Now, let's talk about the other new toys. The motorola edge 70 plus is a photography powerhouse, boasting a 200-megapixel main camera—the highest resolution ever in a Motorola phone. It supports OIS, Pantone Validated color accuracy, 10x super zoom, and 4K video recording. Under the hood, it's powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, with up to 8GB of RAM (expandable to 24GB with RAM Boost) and up to 256GB of storage. The 6.78-inch Extreme AMOLED curved display refreshes at up to 144Hz, making everything look buttery smooth. And with a 6,500mAh battery, you can go all day and then some, thanks to 45W TurboPower wired charging and bypass charging to keep things cool.

If you're looking for something a bit more compact, the edge 70 neo steps in with a 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 sensor and an even heftier 7,000mAh battery. It's a solid choice for those who prioritize endurance without sacrificing camera quality.

For those who like a little sparkle, the 2026 motorola razr Swarovski Crystal Edition is a showstopper. Clad in PANTONE Meteorite color, it features 35 hand-set Silver Night Swarovski crystals on the back panel and a single 32-cut crystal at the hinge that catches the light with every fold. The 3.6-inch outer screen runs full apps, and when opened, you get a 6.9-inch inner display. Both cameras are 50MP, and the battery lasts over 36 hours—so you can dazzle all day without reaching for a charger.

Rounding out the lineup is the moto snap wireless charger, which delivers up to 25W fast charging for Qi2.2 devices and up to 30W for supported Motorola phones using its proprietary protocol.

Availability-wise, the moto watch ultra will hit Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, North America, and parts of Asia-Pacific in the coming weeks. The edge 70 plus will be available in select European and Middle Eastern countries, while the edge 70 neo will make its way to India in the coming months.

So, whether you're a tech enthusiast, a fitness buff, or just someone who loves a bit of luxury, Motorola's latest lineup has something to pique your interest. The future of wearables is here, and it's ready to answer your questions with a flick of the wrist.
