    Motorola announced four new accessories for its moto things ecosystem at CES 2026, including the company’s first portable speaker with Bose technology, a Polar-powered smartwatch, an intelligent stylus for foldables, and an upgraded smart tag. The lineup moto sound flow, moto watch, moto pen ultra, and moto tag 2 launches globally in coming weeks with pricing starting at €39. These connected devices integrate Ultra-Wideband technology, Pantone-curated colors, and cross-device intelligence to expand Motorola’s accessory portfolio first launched in 2024.​

    Moto Sound Flow: Motorola’s First Portable Speaker

    The moto sound flow marks Motorola’s entry into the portable speaker market with Sound by Bose technology delivering balanced audio through a dedicated woofer, tweeter, and dual passive radiators producing 30W output. The speaker supports both Wi-Fi streaming platforms and Bluetooth 5 for wireless pairing, wrapped in a twill-textured fabric finish available in PANTONE Carbon and PANTONE Warm Taupe colors.​

    Ultra-Wideband technology enables three smart features: Proximity Sensing automatically transfers calls or music when a UWB phone gets close, Dynamic Stereo adjusts left/right channels based on phone position with two speakers, and RoomShift moves sound to the nearest speaker as users move through their home. The 6,000mAh battery and IP67 rating protects against water and dust.​

    The moto sound flow app for Android and iOS provides Quick Switch gesture controls to transfer audio from phones or moto buds with a simple swipe. The speaker starts at €199 and will roll out to Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific in coming weeks.​

    Moto Watch Partners With Polar for Fitness Tracking

    The new moto watch introduces Motorola’s partnership with Polar, a global leader with nearly 50 years of experience in wearable sports and fitness technology. The 47mm round-face smartwatch features a sand-blasted aluminum frame, stainless steel crown, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection with IP68 water resistance rated to 1 ATM.​

    Polar-powered features include continuous heart rate monitoring, heart rate variability tracking, dual-frequency GPS for accurate running data, blood oxygen monitoring, sleep quality analysis, and customizable wellness goals and reminders. Users can monitor stress levels, log steps, and access in-depth recovery insights to understand how their body responds to exercise and daily stressors.​

    Battery life reaches up to 13 days in standard mode or 7 days with always-on display, and five minutes of charging provides a full day of power. The built-in microphone and speaker system enables hands-free phone calls directly from the wrist, and moto ai integration offers the “Catch me up” feature for tailored notification summaries on compatible devices.​

    The watch supports third-party 22mm bands and comes with multiple Pantone-curated options: stainless steel bands in matte black and silver, silicone bands in Volcanic Ash, Parachute Purple, and Herbal Garden, plus a leather-inspired band in Mocha Mousse. Pricing starts at €99, with a €149 premium pack including two straps available in Europe. US availability begins January 22 on motorola.com in Volcanic Ash color.​

    Moto Pen Ultra Brings Stylus Support to Foldables

    The moto pen ultra transforms the motorola signature and motorola razr fold into digital canvases with an intelligent stylus experience designed for mobile-first designers, artists, and productivity users. The ultra-fine tip delivers pinpoint accuracy with pressure sensitivity and tilt detection for shading and texture work, while palm-rejection technology prevents accidental touches.​

    The quick access toolbar provides brushes, magnification, note-taking tools, and personalization options. AI-driven features include Quick Clip for highlighting content into notes, Speed Share for smart contact suggestions when sharing annotations, Sketch to Image that transforms drawings into visuals with different styles, and Circle to Search with Google for searching anything on screen.​

    The included carrying case provides backup battery power to keep the pen charged throughout the day. The moto pen ultra launches this spring in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific, with North America availability coming in the following months.​

    Moto Tag 2 Offers 500+ Days Battery Life

    The moto tag 2 smart tag combines Ultra-Wideband technology, Bluetooth Channel Sounding, and Google Find Hub network compatibility to locate misplaced items across more than a billion devices. UWB provides precise distance and direction detection for outdoor scenarios like finding cars in parking lots, while Bluetooth Channel Sounding works indoors to locate keys inside homes.​

    The tag delivers over 500 days of battery life with user-replaceable batteries and features IP68 water and dust resistance for outdoor durability. Users can press the tag’s button to ring their phone even on silent mode or use it as a remote camera shutter. Location data remains encrypted with user-only access unless additional users receive authorization, and the system alerts users if an unknown tag is traveling with them.​

    The tag requires Android 9 Pie or above and integrates with both Google Find Hub app and Moto Tag app. Users can share tag locations with friends or family as backup. Pricing starts at €39 with availability in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific in coming weeks, followed by North America later.​

    Availability and Pricing Summary

    All four moto things accessories roll out globally starting in January 2026 with regional variations. The moto watch reaches North America first on January 22, while the moto pen ultra arrives in spring for most markets and later for North America. Regional pricing may vary, and Motorola recommends contacting local PR teams for market-specific availability details.​

    The expansion builds on the moto things franchise launched in 2024 with wireless earbuds, an initial tracker, and smartwatch. The 2026 additions focus on cross-device intelligence through UWB technology, premium design with Pantone color curation, and strategic partnerships with established brands like Bose and Polar.​
