4 best smartwatches under S$100 you can buy from Amazon Singapore
Some of these smartwatches have heart rate, fitness and sleep monitoring functions.
If you're a fitness bunny like me, owning a smartwatch is essential for tracking your steps, heart rate, sleep pattern and more. Fitbit, Apple Watch and Garmin may be listed as the top-tier smartwatches in the market, but their three-figure pricing may be a deterrent to most of us shoppers. Did you know, you can purchase some of these wearable techs at a wallet-friendly price?
Some of us may just need a smartwatch to track heart rate or steps, and some parents may even need one for their kids. Whatever the needs are, here are some shopper-approved smartwatches under S$100 you can find on Amazon Singapore, but hurry, as some are limited in stock.
1. Padgene DZ09 Bluetooth Smartwatch with camera
Padgene's smartwatch comes with a sleek and brilliant 1.54" OLED display, and carries most functions you'll need like the pedometer, sleep monitoring, sedentary remind, image viewer, alarm clock, calendar and camera.
Pros of the Padgene DZ09 Bluetooth Smartwatch
Padgene's smartwatch has a 3.4-star rating with more than 2,400 reviews. One customer said the watch doesn't do "talk-to-text, but it is worth every penny. It has a good sound for Bluetooth, pedometer and sleep monitor is good." Phone calls sync well with the smartwatch, which is a plus if you're in industrial area with low signal. You may even go to the Profiles setting to toggle between General, Meeting, Outdoors, and Silent modes. You can even record audio, which is great for on-the-move note-taking or keeping your ideas tracked.
Cons of Padgene DZ09 Bluetooth Smartwatch
Most users have commented that the smartwatch is not waterproof, and tends to feel bulky. The camera function takes photos, however, don't expect the photo quality to be great or high-quality. Some users didn't like the plastic feel of the time face, and the bands felt uncomfortable on the skin.
2. Popglory Smartwatch
The Popglory smartwatch received more than 10,590 reviews, making it as one of Amazon's popular and affordable smartwatches to buy. It is compatible with smartphones that are equipped with iOS 9.0, Android 4.4 and above. Visually, it looks great and not bulky on your wrist.
Pros of Popglory smartwatch
The smartwatch features Monitor Blood Pressure and Blood Oxygen Adopting advanced sensors, which can detect your blood pressure and blood oxygen while recording the data in its companion app HeroBandⅢ. All in all, this helps you to better know your body changes while keeping fit at the same time.
One satisfied customer shared, "I had just about given up when I found this watch, decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! This is hands down THE most comfortable watch of any kind I have ever had on my wrist!"
Cons of Popglory smartwatch
Some users have reported inaccurate blood pressure and blood oxygen readings. Perhaps it's something that the creators can look further into. For calls, you can accept and decline; as for texts, you cannot answer texts and emails. It is also not waterproof, so we would not recommend going for a swim or showering with it. Being exposed to light rain is definitely fine.
3. Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Graphite Black
S$44.90 S$48.13 at Amazon Singapore
The Xiaomi smartwatch claims to have smooth swipe motions and automatic brightness adjustment to ambient brightness. The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 has also been upgraded with easy-detachable straps that not only allow you to easily switch between different strap designs and materials but also allow you to remove the strap entirely.
The Xiaomi smartwatch has a 4.5-star rating with more than 2,500 reviews.
Pros of Xiaomi Smart Band 8 smartwatch
The smartwatch is equipped with over 150 fitness modes, with the Pebble mode standing out entirely, thanks to its professional tracking for running activity. You can purchase a Running Clip to attach the smartwatch to your shoes and off you go! The smartwatch is also well-equipped with functions such as women's health tracking, heart rate, sleep and blood oxygen monitoring.
One customer shared: "Closest to Apple Watch as possible." Looks-wise, it is a stylish-looking smartwatch that you could almost pass off as an Apple Watch.
Cons of Xiaomi Smart Band 8 smartwatch
A few users have raised connectivity issues as they couldn't pair the smartwatch with the app, and having trouble connecting to music control. Another said that the charger magnet does not connect as easily as the previous Mi Watch. One user also found trouble with their past fitness data disappearing from the app.
4. Tinwoo smartwatch
The Tinwoo smartwatch supports GPS positioning function (you'll need to pair and sync with your phone), and shows your exercise data in the most accurate way: steps, distance, calories burned. It also supports all-day static heart rate detection, real-time heart rate detection during exercise and abnormal heart rate reminder.
Pros of Tinwoo smartwatch
Users have praised the easy setup process for the smartwatch and some shared that the battery life is great, with one user experiencing a two-week battery life without having to charge. It's a great-looking watch with a large screen display, with one customer sharing, "This is the first smartwatch I've owned and I really like it. I have it synced with my Samsung Galaxy 20 and it works great."
Cons of Tinwoo smartwatch
Some users have said that the smartwatch sent too many notifications – from emails to voicemail – and even for a phone update at every percentage of completion. Some users have found inaccuracies with the functions on the weather and heart rate monitor. Another user had to save the alarm settings manually when the previous attempt was not saved.
