Let me start by saying this watch punches WAY above its price tag. The 1.91" HD touchscreen is shockingly vibrant – I’ve caught myself staring at the animated watch faces more than I’d like to admit. The crown jewel? Making calls directly from your wrist feels like sci-fi magic, especially when your phone’s buried in a bag.

The fitness tracking is where this little gadget shines. I’ve tested it on runs, yoga sessions, and even a very enthusiastic (but poorly executed) basketball attempt. The 110+ sport modes feel excessive until you realize there’s literally a setting for ‘fishing’. Heart rate monitoring kept pace with my Apple Watch during HIIT workouts, though the SpO2 readings made me question if I was part vampire (96% at 3AM – thanks for calling me out, watch).

Battery life is insane – I got 6 days with calls, notifications, and continuous heart rate tracking. Compare that to my friend’s $300 smartwatch that dies if you look at it wrong. The IP68 rating means I’ve showered with it daily (TMI?) without issues.

Now the quirks: The touchscreen occasionally misses swipes when my hands are sweaty. Some watch faces look like they were designed by a colorblind unicorn. And while it claims seawater resistance, I wouldn’t test that unless you enjoy gambling with electronics.

For under $20? This is the Swiss Army knife of smartwatches – not perfect at any one thing but surprisingly competent at everything. It won’t replace your Garmin for marathons or your Rolex for black tie events, but for daily health tracking and not missing calls? Absolute steal.
