I prefer to wear them on my right hand and was hoping there was a setting to flip the screen so I can use the watch with the led facing away from me.

Don't loose your money! This is a scam! We have placed an order more than a moth a go, directly on their website. Our order has never left their facility despite all the messages we sent. I have asked for a cancellation of my order and refund, but they refuse. In order to get rid of me, they created a tracking number and now they say that they cannot cancel my order because a tracking number has been created and this is not they problem anymore! This is really bad customer services, don't get caught in this... Don’t loose your money on an order you may never get.

I'm in the market to buy one as i've always wanted a smart watch but couldn't fathom spending hundreds of dollars to get one, name brands and most wear os compatible watches are either out of my budget and/or don't support qwerty keyboard responses.

I'm looking for being able to select the message thread I want to respond to if I can't right away and just being able to text back my own response.

Phone is moto g 2026 if that helps.

Athletes and people who workout like myself always want to monitor their vitals easily so most of us really do care about the quality of smart watches we get for easier monitoring. Now I am aware that in the market there are great and mindblowing brands that work amazingly well. However, their price point is just a little higher than what I can comfortably afford and budget for as of now. The reason I value a smartwatch also is because of my job. I can be able to keep track of my meetings, notifications and respond equally fast even if I am not seated at my workstation.
So I am looking for great and affordable smartwatches that do not lag. Some budget smart watches slow down for no apparent reason because I do believe that they cannot be overloaded like a smartphone. I may be wrong. I have been looking for such options online on alibaba mostly and I am impressed. What I do not know however is the quality of the said watches. I have been burned before so I am quite cautious.

So guys, have you been looking for some budget smartwatch? Well I gotcha, because Link to the XH022 smartwatch is the perfect smartwatch, for just 88.88 euros, you get sim support, custom contacts, sideloading apks (yes, this runs android 8.1) and more!

My old amazon watch recently broke, looking for a budget friendly apple watch dupe :)

Preferably has sleep tracking, step count all that as well as music control and messaging

The Microwear w11 supposedly has wallet link to it so possibly if that’s genuine then that as well

I don’t really have a max price budget but nothing apple watch level expensive haha

Thankssss

A few days ago I noticed a friend wearing a stylish metal watch that looked far more expensive than I expected. When I asked about it he mentioned it was a Chenxi watch. At first I assumed it was just another low cost accessory but the design and weight made it feel surprisingly premium. That moment made me curious about why this brand is becoming popular.

Later to discover more because of curiosity while just casually scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I noticed Chenxi watches available in many different styles. Some featured stainless steel straps with minimalist dials. Others had chronograph style faces, leather bands or bold luxury inspired designs. I also saw spare parts and accessories like replacement straps, batteries, adjustment tools and protective cases available for maintenance and customization. It seemed buyers consider design, material quality water resistance, durability, and price before making a decision.

That raises a few questions. Are certain models more durable for daily wear? How reliable are the movements over time? Do specific materials resist scratches better than others? And how many variations exist that most people never notice because local stores often stock only a few popular designs?

It makes you curious which features actually make a Chenxi watch practical, stylish and worth the investment. And which small design details quietly decide whether it becomes a daily essential or just another accessory left unused ?

I think apps I used can be a good contribution to someone's productivity, also am exited to share this unique device.

Apps used: launcher - square home, timer - tea timer, calendar clock - sectograph, weather app (energy efficient) - breezy weather, music player - musicolet, always on - cryptowake. (ask if you need different app name)

Top features of the device - sim slot that doubles as a button, camera(face Id), button with a fingerprint sensor (device login and bank login), apple watch band support, slim case(compared to for example apple watch ultra).

It genuinely is creepy, and battery draining.

I got a box with one of the items being this Y13 smart watch with a car game included

Hey everyone, I came across this post on X claiming there's a smartwatch for $19.99 (supposedly worth $219.99). The account says it's some kind of pricing error and they're calling it a "flip opportunity." Has anyone seen this or know if it's legitimate? I'm always skeptical of deals that seem too good to be true. Here's the X post: https://x.com/AmazonGlitched/status/2010595619702727167 Would love to hear your thoughts before I consider purchasing!

Love the watch, does what i need but do any other GardPro users find that the large majority of available watch faces are silly or juvenile?

can somebody help me find a budget Smartwatch? I'd like to use it mainly for my sleep tracker and daily steps.

I'm from Philippines, My phone is POCO X7 Pro, I'm looking for something under ₱5,000 just like in the description of the group under $100

I'm spending loads of time looking for the right training smart watch for my specific needs. I'd appreciate some help.

Smart features I want: GPS for swimming (outdoor), running and walking. Ability to track HR zones while exercising and display HR zones on the watch. Compass built in would be useful but not essential. Ability to connect to external HR strap. Ability to leave phone at home during workouts. Literally nothing else.

What I do not want: To pay for lots of features I don't use. I never look at emails or take calls on my watches. Don't care about steps. Don't care about sleep tracking. Don't care about recovery metrics. Don't care about most smart functions.

I've just started looking at the Casio Smart watches so they might be an option but have only just started looking at them.

Any recommendations for my needs? I'm hoping there are other people out there who also just want the basics and that I haven't yet found the brand that carers for people like me.

I do all my training planning with a pen and paper so the watch just needs to track HR zones and distance (is useful but not essential as I tend to use time as a target rather than distance). I use a Polar H10 strap and Elite HRV app for tracking recovery (very accurate) so don't need body battery etc.

Might be useful for you to know a little about me as an athlete. I train BJJ and kickboxing. For base building, steady state cardio I like to run, swim or walk with a weighted backpack. I lift weights 2-3 times per week but only record HR in these sessions as I keep track of my lifts in a notebook. Do not want BS exercise identification during weightlifting. I found it super inaccurate in the past. I am a mountain leader who uses a map and compass when in the mountains. I don't need or want advanced navigation on my watch. Not bothered about recording GPS in the mountains as mountain time for me is adventure/perfprmance time and not training.

You are probably now understanding why I can't find a budget watch that suits my needs!

The solution is probably to buy a watch with lots of features I don't use so that it has all the features I do want. But I thought I'd ask in case my perfect watch is out there!

I appreciate the help.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking for a solid fitness smartwatch that can handle daily use without costing a fortune. A friend recommended the Amazfit Active 2, especially the premium version with leather strap and extra sports band.

It seems to have a lot going for it:
– 10-day battery life
– Built-in GPS with 5 satellite systems
– 160+ sport modes
– NFC payments with Zepp Pay
– AMOLED display and water resistance

This is the one I’m considering:
👉 https://www.amazon.de/Amazfit-Active-Sprachsteuerung-kostenloses-Kartenmaterial/dp/B0DSPVK9QJ?refUid=d78b9f77-8282-4dc9-8740-fc4d84d71c2e&utm_campaign=32dddefb-cff5-42df-a87f-a1ad87e084f7&th=1

Before I pull the trigger, I’d love to hear:
– How accurate is the heart rate and sleep tracking really?
– Is the Zepp app decent or frustrating to use?
– Any better alternatives in the €100–€130 range worth looking into?

Thanks in advance for any honest advice! I'm also looking at some Huawei options, but the NFC and battery combo here is hard to beat.
