We first see how well the watches fit on our wrists, and how easy the displays are to read (especially in sunlight and navigate. We test cheap smartwatches the same way we do pricier models: By wearing them. If you're into fitness, you'll want a smartwatch that's water-resistant and has GPS and a heart rate monitor.

You also want to consider what you plan to do with the smartwatch. Both Apple and Samsung offer far fewer options in terms of style and size. You have the most options with Wear OS, as many of Fossil's brands-Diesel, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Misfit, Emporio Armani, and more-all have their own smartwatches, with a multitude of styles, bands, sizes, and more.

Wear OS has a much larger app library than does Samsung's Tizen-based operating system, but we prefer the interface on Samsung's smartwatches, and they tend to have much longer battery life.Īfter that, you want to find a smartwatch that best fits your wrist or style.

If you have an Android smartphone, your best choice is either a Samsung or Wear OS smartwatch both of those platforms fully support Android phones, such as making and receiving calls from your wrist, as well as crafting messages.

First, what kind of smartphone do you have? If you own an iPhone, we recommend sticking with the Apple Watch Series 3 (or some other version), as the Apple Watch is the only smartwatch that fully works with the iPhone. When shopping for a cheap smartwatch, you should look for the same things as if you were shopping for a higher-priced model.

With all the sensors you could want, the T-Rex is a beast to be reckoned with, plus who doesn't want a device named after a dinosaur? Like other devices on our best sports watch page, the T-Rex offers an impressive battery life, variety of sports modes and sleep tracking – all wrapped in its impenetrable shell. At $140, it’s less than half the price of the Garmin Instinct and other popular GPS smartwatches, making it an affordable alternative. With a large display, on-board GPS, built-in compass and enough durability certifications to survive Jurassic Park, the Amazfit T-Rex one of the best cheap smartwatches ever made for the outdoors. But that's a small price to pay for such a bargain. The one downside: The Bip lacks an app store, so it's not really playing in the same field as the Apple Watch, Samsung's Tizen OS watches, Fitbit's Ionic and Versa, or Wear OS smartwatches from companies like Fossil and LG. The Bip's 1.28-inch, 176 x 176-pixel color screen isn't stellar, but the always-on display is useful for using the watch as, you know, a watch. You can eke out 45 days of battery life from the Bip without using any of its smart features, but even using the heart-rate monitor and GPS to track workouts, we went two weeks before the watch dipped below 50 percent. Cheap heart-rate-tracking devices are notoriously unreliable, but we put the Bip to the test and found it to be almost as accurate as our Garmin Forerunner. The best cheap smartwatch under $100, the Amazfit Bip is a stylish touchscreen watch with smartphone notifications, lengthy battery life and built-in heart-rate monitor, GPS and GLONASS for accurate workout tracking.
