Concluding year, i of the starting time wearables to kickstart the smartwatch gold blitz – the Moto 360 – was reborn, thanks to a licencing deal between Motorola and Canadian company eBuyNow.

While the $350 smartwatch may not have prepare the world alight, it appears it was to be the start of many new Moto smartwatches. CE Brands (which is soon to merge with eBuyNow) has published an investor presentation, beginning spotted past Spotter Smarty, which outlines no fewer than 3 Moto branded smartwatches alongside various not-Moto air purification, security photographic camera and smartlight solutions.

Equally you can run across from the embedded roadmap higher up, starting time out of the blocks will be the Moto G Smartwatch in June. This suggests a change of tack from the visitor —  while the Moto 360 was aimed at the loftier-stop smartwatch crowd, the Moto One thousand branding is used on cheap phones that sell between $200 (the Moto G9) and $250 (the Moto Yard Power).  So the Moto K watch could be a competitor to the lower cost Apple Watch SE.

No specs are provided, and while this may mean an older Snapdragon Wearable chipset, dated internals are less of an consequence for wearables than phones thanks to their reduced functionality. Hopefully. a Moto G branded wearable volition prove to exist suitably stiff competition for the likes of the TicWatch E and Amazfit T Male monarch on our listing of the best inexpensive smartwatches.

A month later, in July, CE Brands volition launch two more wearables: the Moto Sentry and Moto One. The onetime looks like a expressionless ringer for the Apple Scout with its square face and rounded corners, while the latter looks closer to the Moto 360 in pattern. Interestingly, on a different folio, these watches are given the category of "Fitness Tracking", which may suggest more sporty functionality than the Moto 360.

As there'due south no mention of specs or pricing, your guess is equally expert equally ours as to what the internal differences between the two are, but they look like more premium offerings than the Moto G Smartwatch. That hopefully means they'll be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset.

What nosotros do know is that these Motos volition be sticking with Google's Wear Os, or at least, it seems extremely likely. Some other page of the presentation mentions that "eBuyNow is ane of a handful of active Wear OS Licensees" and that it's "among the earliest phase companies partnered with Qualcomm for premium wearables."

Hopefully, an official announcement with specs and pricing will follow this investor presentation in the adjacent couple of months.
