My Running Tests Left Me Feeling Like the Moto Watch Is Low-Key Catfishing

The Polar partnership and $150 price tag had me sold. Then I actually lived with it.

The Moto Watch feels like a kid trying their hardest to stand out in a sport, only to walk away with a participation trophy. Having spent years reviewing pricey fitness trackers and smartwatches, I know how rare it is for a relatively affordable $150 device to arrive with real fitness credibility, so I was genuinely rooting for this one. When Motorola announced a partnership with Polar, along with dual-band GPS and week-long battery life at this price, it sounded like a breakthrough moment. I thought this could be Motorola’s big return to relevance in wearables.

Then I actually used it for a few weeks and reality set in.

Motorola isn’t a stranger to this space. The Moto 360 helped define early Android wearables back in 2014, and made a strong impression doing so. But the years since have been relatively slow on its wearables front. This new Moto Watch is its most serious attempt at breaking through the space in a while, and the Polar partnership gives it a level of fitness-tracking street cred that’s rare at this price.

But theory and execution don’t quite align here. At $150, the Moto Watch isn’t trying to compete directly with higher-end wearables from Samsung or Google; rather, it’s trying to carve out a league of its own with this big-screen 47mm watch. And it’s no home run — yet.

The Polar partnership, tested

The Polar integration is the headline feature that had me excited to put it through the paces. The brand is synonymous with accuracy among serious endurance athletes, and its H10 chest strap is the gold standard we reach for at CNET for heart rate benchmarking on other devices.

So I took both to a college track — three miles (12 laps) — with the watch unpaired from my phone and the chest strap recording simultaneously for comparison. The watch consistently kept up, but I noticed it struggled to keep pace during my sprints.

The workout summaries showed similar numbers, which is why I prefer exporting the raw, second-by-second heart rate data to get more granular. The Polar app makes it easy to export a spreadsheet of your HR data, but the Moto Watch is running it’s own app, and there was no export option. I had to settle for comparing the snapshot of metrics that I got from the workout summary.

The graphs looked similar at first glance, with matching peaks and valleys during the laps when I picked up my pace. The average heart rate was only one beat off from the chest strap. But the watch seemed to smooth out the spikes, and the max heart rate was off by seven beats (173 bpm on the watch versus 180 bpm on the chest strap). That kind of gap is pretty standard for wrist-based tracking, which measures blood flow rather than the heart’s electrical signals. Still, you may not be getting full credit for your effort if you plan to use this as a serious training tool.

Distance tracking was another reality check. Dual-band GPS is usually reserved for higher-end sports watches, so I had high hopes that the Moto Watch would be right on track. It took a while to lock onto a satellite and dropped connection more than once during my 30-minute run. By the end, it had given me 0.15 miles of extra credit. That’s about a 5% error rate, which sounds small until you’re training for a half-marathon and your long runs keep coming back inflated. It’s fine for casual activity tracking, but this is no Garmin replacement.

Health features

Away from the track, the Polar integration holds up better. The watch monitors heart rate, blood oxygen and stress levels throughout the day, though it lacks more advanced features such as ECG or temperature tracking. Wear it to bed (if you can) and you’ll get sleep stages plus a Nightly Recharge Status, Polar’s version of a recovery or readiness score that can help guide training intensity.

But it’s just too bulky to wear comfortably while sleeping. I only wore it to bed once during my month-long testing journey because I felt like the larger size got in the way of my sleep quality. Admittedly, I’m averse to sleeping with accessories on; I don’t even wear my wedding ring to bed. Testing wearables always means making a few concessions, but the Moto Watch just didn’t make the cut for what I’m willing to put up with. It’s definitely more Garmin Fēnix 8 Pro level bulk than Pixel Watch, which I’m ok wearing to bed.

Design: It screams ‘bro’

Motorola positioned this watch as the Clark Kent of smartwatches: a fitness watch cloaked in a polished suit that can go from sweat session to the boardroom. That was the pitch. What landed on my desk, was a different picture with much less polish than I had envisioned. Strapping it on only made matters worse, because it’s 47mm watch looked (and felt) as if it had swallowed my 6.5-inch wrist.

The 1.43-inch OLED touchscreen wasn’t the problem — that was the bright spot. It’s more responsive and more vivid than you’d expect at this price, with slim bezels thanks to a cleverly positioned dial.

You also get a rotating crown for scrolling or clicks, plus a programmable side button. The aluminum case looks polished, too, but it’s easy to miss. The oversized black silicone straps run straight into the frame with no visual break, making the whole thing look like one continuous slab.

Turns out all it needed was a stylist. The desperation of having to wear this thing for weeks put me in problem-solving mode, and I realized the straps were standard width (22mm) and easily swappable with third-party bands you can buy anywhere. Once I switched them, it finally looked like the watch Motorola had sold me. It still screamed “bro,” but it was board room bro.

A battery that just won’t quit

After a three-mile outdoor run with GPS active and no phone, plus a full day of notifications popping up on its always-on display, most flagships would be down to their last breath, but not the Moto Watch. This smartwatch barely broke a sweat and finished the day at 85% battery.

With the always-on display (and no sleep tracking), I made it a full week on a full charge. Switch the screen activation from always-on to raise to wake and Motorola promises it will last 13 days, which I didn’t test, but it seems totally feasible. This is impressive even by sports watch standards.

For the right person, battery life alone could be the reason to buy this.

App, setup and smartwatch functionality

Out of the box, the watch has notifications turned off and set to raise to wake (probably to help get you to the promised 13 days of battery life). And while that might work for some people, I spent most of my first day wondering why nothing was happening on my wrist. If you like to get a heads-up on what’s going on in your phone, I suggest you dig into settings before you start wearing it.

I was skeptical because the watch runs on Motorola’s proprietary software rather than Android’s Wear OS, though it seems like a very bare-bones knockoff. Text previews come through, call notifications work and basic alert handling is fine. But there are a lot of trade-offs that left me wondering why they went rogue in the first place, especially because it still only works with Android phones. It doesn’t support message replies from the wrist, Google Assistant, NFC payments or much of a third-party app ecosystem. For replacing quick glances at your phone notifications, it works. For anyone hoping to actually interact with their phone from their wrist or use their smartwatch to pay for riding a train, it falls short.

The phone app combines health and technical features into one interface, which takes some getting used to, but it ultimately works. It’s a hybrid of Fitbit’s health widget layout and Apple’s activity ring system — almost a blatant borrow, but an effective one for visualizing daily steps, active minutes and calories.

A pricing identity crisis

The Moto Watch is priced to feel like a deal: stellar battery life, dual-band GPS, Polar-backed tracking, blood oxygen, sleep stages and a screen that outperforms its price. On a spec sheet, it punches above its weight.

But $150 is a tricky number. It’s not cheap enough to be an obvious budget pick, and it’s not capable enough to compete at Polar-level performance. The sensor limitations and lack of data export put a ceiling on what that partnership can actually deliver.

Instead, it sits at an awkward intersection, more of a first attempt at carving out something in between. The bones are good. The execution needs work.

Who is this for?

If you’re an Android phone owner who wants sportswatch-level battery life in a sleeker package, this one might be worth a second glance. It’s best suited for casual fitness trackers who want a watch that covers the basics. Serious athletes will want something more precise.

But deal-seekers could be better off with the $160 Fitbit Charge 6 for its additional features or one of the truly budget watches made by Amazfit such as the Bip 6 and Active 2. Style options are limited, and there’s no cycle tracking, so it’s also less appealing for women looking for those features.

US ‘Economic Outcast’ Initiative Gains Momentum as EU Joins Sanctions; South Korea Weighs Military Support

The EU has formally joined the US-led sanctions campaign against Iran, while South Korea is weighing a military role to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as Washington pushes allies to support its campaign on both financial and military fronts. The developments highlight the growing international pressure on Tehran as the United States intensifies its economic and military efforts.

The European Union has officially aligned with the United States’ sanctions drive against Iran, and South Korea has indicated it is considering a military contribution to help restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, as Washington pushes its allies to support its campaign against Tehran on both economic and military fronts.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lauded the EU for joining “Operation Economic Outcast,” the initiative designed to cut Tehran off from the worldwide financial network.

“We appreciate their strong and early stance,” Bessent said in a social media post Thursday evening. “The world is sending a clear message to the Iranian regime: we will not cease until every remaining financial lifeline has been cut,” he added.

The remarks followed Brussels’ Aug. 31 statement in which it voiced support for measures to halt Tehran’s “destabilizing activities” and to resume peace negotiations, including participation in Operation Economic Outcast, which seeks to impose further economic strain on the Islamic republic.

The endorsement arrived as the Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank governors convened in Asheville, North Carolina, earlier in the week.

“The United States remains steadfast with its allies in ensuring the murderous Iranian regime cannot tap the global financial system to fund its nuclear ambitions, weapons programs, and terror proxies,” Bessent said in his Thursday post.

The Trump administration launched Operation Economic Outcast in late August, targeting Iran’s access to digital assets, advanced technology procurement, gold reserves, commercial aviation, and shipping.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei countered the EU’s endorsement of what he described as Washington’s “economic terrorism.” In a Sept. 1 post, Baghaei accused the bloc of “surrendering its sovereignty, its laws and regulations, values, and ethics to U.S. coercion.”

Bessant portrayed the campaign as an “economic onslaught” against Iran’s worldwide financial ties, cautioning that nations assisting Tehran should “expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime.” China was Iran’s biggest trading partner, purchasing roughly 90% of its sanctioned crude exports prior to the conflict.

Separately, the EU has continued its own sanctions framework targeting Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as its military support for Russia.

Ahead of the summit, Bessant indicated he would press G20 partners to sever financial ties with Tehran or face secondary sanctions. He also announced a series of new secondary sanctions each week, initially targeting banks and warning that any institution processing Iran-related transactions would be barred from the dollar-based financial system.

Seoul weighs Hormuz role

Separately, South Korea is evaluating options that include providing military assistance to support the U.S. effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping, Reuters reported Friday, citing the presidential office.

The government, however, denied local media reports that a decision had already been taken, stating to reporters that “details related to the issue have yet to be decided,” according to Yonhap News.

Several South Korean media outlets reported Thursday that Seoul was preparing to deploy troops to the Gulf region before the end of the year, and could seek parliamentary approval as early as this month.

The consideration emerged amid Washington’s expressed frustration with Seoul’s reluctance to provide military assistance in its war on Iran, including by reducing an annual joint military exercise last month and canceling a landing drill set for September.

Standoff

Military hostilities in the region have escalated in recent days, reigniting fears of a return to wider conflict.

The U.S. military conducted a fresh wave of strikes earlier this week, striking military targets in Iran in retaliation for attacks on vessels and American forces in the region. Iran has responded by firing missiles at U.S. bases across the Middle East.

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz—a vital corridor accounting for roughly a fifth of global oil flows before the conflict—remained muted, as Iran continued to launch intermittent attacks on vessels using the southern shipping lane near the Omani coast.

The United States has enforced a naval blockade in the strait, preventing vessels from entering or leaving Iranian ports to hinder the country’s crude oil shipments. U.S. Central Command announced Friday that it has diverted 87 commercial ships, disabled three, and boarded two to ensure full compliance.

Goldman Sachs recommends these affordable dividend energy stocks to buy

Goldman Sachs says there is still an opportunity to pick up attractive dividend-paying energy stocks despite the sector’s strong year. Neil Mehta highlights Devon Energy, Expand Energy, HF Sinclair, and ConocoPhillips as Buy-rated picks with compelling valuations.

Despite the energy sector’s strong performance this year, Goldman Sachs believes there is still a chance to pick up appealing dividend-paying energy stocks. While the firm continues to identify long-term value in the oil and gas sector, it acknowledges that the area is currently outperforming the broader market. The State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) has climbed 45% year-to-date and reached a 52-week high on Thursday. By comparison, the S & P 500 is up 13% year to date. XLE YTD mountain State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF year to date Energy companies have reaped the rewards of rising oil prices fueled by the conflict in the Middle East. Brent crude futures settled above $95 per barrel. “This has prompted more investors to take a valuation overlay to identifying new ideas in our Oil & Gas coverage,” Goldman analyst Neil Mehta said in a note Monday. “For those screening for value, we screen our comparison sheets and identify Buy-rated stocks that currently offer above-average total return while trading at below-average 2028 multiples as investors position into year-end.” Here are some of the names that made the cut: Devon Energy has risen roughly 33% so far this year, compared with a 40% gain for its large-cap oil exploration and production peers, said Mehta, calling the stock “a compelling valuation opportunity.” “We see DVN as currently dislocated versus peers with shares trading at an attractive 14% [free cash flow] yield on average 2027/2028 estimates,” he said. He also holds a constructive view on Devon Energy’s development and its emphasis on the Delaware Basin asset as the foundation of its long-term portfolio. Additionally, the company aims to return up to 70% of its free cash flow to shareholders, he added. Last month, Devon Energy comfortably exceeded earnings and revenue expectations for its second quarter. It announced a dividend increase in May. Mehta’s $55 price target suggests 12% upside from Wednesday’s close. The stock offers a 2.3% dividend yield. Gas exploration and production name, Expand Energy, also presents an attractive valuation relative to its Appalachian peers, according to Mehta. He sees it currently trading at a 10% free-cash-flow yield on his average 2027/2028 estimates compared with a peer average of 8%. Expand Energy, which yields 2.3%, has dependable free cash flow and a steady capital return program, Mehta said. Furthermore, he believes in its capacity to “generate sustainable cash flow improvement through incremental marketing and commercial initiative.” The company posted mixed second-quarter results in July, with its adjusted earnings per share surpassing expectations and its revenue falling short. Shares are down roughly 10% so far in 2026. U.S. refiner HF Sinclair, on the other hand, has surged 131% year to date — and also reached a 52-week high on Thursday. Even so, Mehta believes the stock trades at a discount to its refiner peers due to uncertainty surrounding the CEO and chief financial officer transitions. Both positions are currently interim. “[W]e continue to see value in the company’s non-refining earnings contributions (Lubricants, Renewable Diesel, and Midstream) in addition to the company’s leverage to niche refining markets (West Coast/Rockies and Mid-Continent),” Mehta wrote. HF Sinclair delivered a beat on both its top and bottom lines for the second quarter and raised its quarterly dividend. The stock currently yields about 2%. Mehta’s $114 price target implies 7.5% upside from Wednesday’s close. Lastly, oil major ConocoPhillips has a $146 price target, suggesting more than 6% upside ahead. Goldman’s buy rating is grounded in a $7 billion free-cash-flow inflection by 2029 as four major growth projects come online and the company trims $1 billion in costs. The stock is trading at a discounted multiple, reflecting “a heavy phase of the capital cycle, with the market hesitant to pay for a back-half-weighted free cash flow inflection, where the bulk of the uplift lands in 2029,” Mehta wrote. ConocoPhillips has gained 45% year to date, hitting a 52-week high on Thursday. It currently yields 2.5%.
