One of my favorite cheap tech finds is a no-name, small OLED smartwatch that cost under $20. It has all the basic fitness features, an app that is surprisingly nicely done, and it exposes all its data to Apple Health.
It supports the limited notifications API that Apple exposes, so it buzzes for calls and can show you text messages you got. Does music control, raise to wake. And somehow with all of this, it has a battery life of about 10-15 days on a charge. Unbelievable that the Apple Watch adds really only two important features I care about (making your iPhone beep, and Apple Pay) but only lasts a single day on a charge, and costs nearly 10x what this one does.
Anyway, it also comes with about 100 choices of faces. I only wish it was open source or at least an "open" platform so that I could make my own.
- ekanes 2mo agoInteresting, could you share the name/model? Thank you!
- derideor 2mo agoSounds like a Xiaomi / amazfit kinda thing. You can get some amazing deals, or just check out AliExpress.
- xp84 2mo agoMine has the “T115” model number and it looks nearly identical to this one: https://a.co/d/05cHhxIm https://a.co/d/05cHhxIm The app for mine is Fitdock. It seems like there are more apps than there are distinct models, and I’m not sure if these apps are all white-labeled clones and interchangeable or not.
- enos_feedler 2mo agoIve been saying that apple could build a “band” accessible by everyone for $50. However Apple is run by wallstreet. Its not user first, but margin first.
