What do critics say about the Motorola Moto Watch?
Engadget65
It looks and feels like a quality watch but the limited software, missing automatic activity tracking and flaky GPS make it a disappointing buy despite excellent battery life.
WIRED50
The Polar partnership gives attractive, easy-to-read health data and superb battery life at a fair price, but weak GPS and over-sensitive controls keep it from being a top pick.
Android Central40
Despite good ideas and long battery life, half-finished software and unreliable fitness tracking mean it struggles even with the basics.
