The Best Smartwatches Under $100 in 2024

These smartwatches don’t cost as much as the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch, but they have almost as many features and way better battery life. I test out the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro, Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro and Amazfit Bip 5 Unity.

    Amazfit Band 7 + Zepp app is legend. Not big size can wear 24/7, AMOLED Always on Display, Sleep Tracking even Nap tracking, Long battery life. Mine is from 2022. Still easy to last 5 days with all tracking on Step, Stress, SPO2, Auto Heart Rate Monitor per 1 min. Notifications alert also On. So many nice and minimalist watch faces with matching AODs. LOL Previously Mi Band fan, but mi fit app features is not great as Zepp.

    Bip 5 Unity does have a speaker

    I sure wish someone would do very Indepth reviews of the APPs these low cost watches include. VeryFit is an exceptional app but if you want to to sync to Google Fit when tracking steps/cycling and tracking/map it will lock up every time before it reaches 2 miles. GloryFit is also a very good App and its Steps/Cycling tracking/maps work great but its Sleep will not synch at all to Google Fit though it did 1st 2 days. No amount of Uninstall/Reinstall or triple checking settings will help. Have emailed BOTH of their support and used the in APP contacts and only crickets from both. I have tried these with several Phones and Watches all with the same results. (VeryFitPro also does the same as the VeryFit App.) Presently, I have tried a Spade Health Watch 2 (ID205), a GTX12, and a T60 smartwatch with several phones – latest in a Pixel 7 with both Android 14 and 15.

    it is all about durability. i choose samsung or apple for sure. Have bought a chinese brand – redmi watch and within a month it almost broke itself. and Redmi claimed me for all the faults.

    Huawei fit 3 for 140$ !!!

  6. @vadnegru on November 13, 2024 at 12:19 pm

    Have an og Amazfit Bip with custom firmware (Bip OS) and custom app (Master). Only feature it’s missing is camera shutter, but someone might already made an applet for that. 21 days of runtime at minimum is still unbeatable by any of these 3.

    Like your videos…lots of usefull info, well organized, concise, and well presented.

  8. @abcde4774 on November 13, 2024 at 12:19 pm

    Where’s redmi watch 4?

  9. @EuniciaEsteves on November 13, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    How to order?

  10. @Betancourtdm on November 13, 2024 at 12:25 pm

    I honestly really enjoy my CMF watch. It is in my regular rotation with my Pixel Watch 2 and Samsung Watch 6. I love the great watch faces and outstanding battery life. GPS is pretty good too

  11. @hardeepsingh5924 on November 13, 2024 at 12:25 pm

    What 4G LTE watches would you recommend under $100?

  12. @RavagHer on November 13, 2024 at 12:26 pm

  13. @slakr2392 on November 13, 2024 at 12:27 pm

  14. @damiendrew8099 on November 13, 2024 at 12:27 pm

  16. @thecunninlynguist on November 13, 2024 at 12:35 pm

    i got an amazfit a few years ago, and have been happy with it

  17. @george6252 on November 13, 2024 at 12:36 pm

    The SKG ID 208 BT is my favorite cheap smart watch. Can answer calls on it.

  18. @mrcuic1 on November 13, 2024 at 12:38 pm

    Still have the Apple Watch series 2. Works perfectly 😊

  19. @johnnyblaze5551 on November 13, 2024 at 12:38 pm

    Apple Watch 4 is 44mm and perfect for me

  20. @cobaltblue5523 on November 13, 2024 at 12:38 pm

    Tozo s 5 is only 50 and it’s awesome

  21. @deelo721 on November 13, 2024 at 12:39 pm

    The nothing watch has my attention 👀👀👀

  22. @ManWander on November 13, 2024 at 12:40 pm

    i got the amazfit you reviewed a couple of years ago and am ready for a new one – so this is timely – thanks!

  23. @youngjayley946 on November 13, 2024 at 12:40 pm

    Is there any rectangular smartwatch with wear os or coming clos (for example spotify support)

  24. @thenotoriousgryyn342 on November 13, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    I just got the Kospet Tank T3 Ultra, and it is Awesome, Highly Recommend! 👍

  25. @alisonbleiweiss1854 on November 13, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    Apple Watch is better

  26. @vasundhratanwar7025 on November 13, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    Do they support silent alarms? I need a silent reminder watch that can vibrate every 10mins throughout the day. So, it should support at least 80 alarms.

    Could you please help me check which ones of these watches support this function.

  27. @fardinmohammad8096 on November 13, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    That’s looking good.

  28. @unpleasentverity7627 on November 13, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    alexa in xiaomi/ redmi watches is not reliable. very dissapointed.

  29. @zulubob5824 on November 13, 2024 at 12:55 pm

    Bought an Amazfit…….just out of warranty the screen went purple. Couldn’t use it anymore 😢

  30. @dragon2knight on November 13, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    Amazfit is the clear winner in the under $100 class, they are always on sale on Amazon, and they’re last or older gen watches are always dipping under $100, and those watches are really great choices, far better than any of the ones presented here.

  31. @hassanonyt on November 13, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    Battery life will always be a selling point for me on these secondary devices

  32. @raul9pg on November 13, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    no me gusta 👎 eso no es tecnología moderna

  33. @alvzcizzler on November 13, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    I have the CMF Watch in black which come with a matte gray finish and dark gray band, looks so incognito and works very well for me

  34. @61tree_VR_Gliding on November 13, 2024 at 12:58 pm

    Can I show on any of them .jpg’s? On my current watch if I create a shopping list or to do list on my computer I can just send it to my watch and done with it, very easy to view and zoom. Current watch though has very low battery life and too heavy and bulky.

  35. @jettmanas on November 13, 2024 at 12:58 pm

    Nice info, & good comparison, showing them worn together.😊Solid, concise vid.

  36. @sergrod1 on November 13, 2024 at 1:02 pm

    Thank you.

  37. @newfnshow031 on November 13, 2024 at 1:04 pm

    smartwatch under $100? I can’t even find good earbuds that cost $100. 😂 anyway u look beautiful as always

  38. @paulputnam7 on November 13, 2024 at 1:05 pm

    She didn’t look very hard. I bought a Halo Fit Watch on Amazon for $27.00 on Amazon ($37 – $10 coupon= $27). It has all the features those have & I charge the battery once a week. Great Smartwatch @ a fantastic price!

  39. @geancarloloiolacavalheiro2525 on November 13, 2024 at 1:07 pm

    Very Good, Thanks for the News.

  40. @RichAesthetic on November 13, 2024 at 1:09 pm

    Literally lies 😂

  41. @imstupidbut on November 13, 2024 at 1:10 pm

    apple watch wins

  42. @zero11010 on November 13, 2024 at 1:11 pm

    Yo! What do you actually use your smartwatch for? How much does your watch’s ecosystem really impact things for you? If you’re a longtime smartwatch owner, I want to hear from you.
