During the last week of August, we spotted a mysterious Motorola-branded smartwatch on the UAE’s TDRA certification database with the model number ‘XT2649-1’. Prior to this, the same model number had also appeared on the NBD import and export database, but the certifications did not reveal its marketing name.
Well, Motorola has now made the device official with the launch of the Moto Watch Ultra. Notably, this is the first Motorola smartwatch to offer standalone LTE connectivity.
