A while back, we asked Motorola to bring Wear OS back. After years of watching the company drift further away from the operating system while Google, Samsung, and others pushed Wear OS forward, it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Well, Motorola finally listened.

I got some hands-on time with the company’s new Moto Watch Ultra at IFA 2026, its first Wear OS smartwatch since the Moto 360 launched in 2019. And while Motorola hasn’t reinvented the wheel with its comeback, the Moto Watch Ultra feels like a convincing attempt to get back in the game, albeit with a few curious choices.
