I bought a €20 smartwatch on Aliexpress — here’s how that turned out

[Redaktion]

I wanted a round smartwatch with long battery life and a vibration alarm that I can set directly on the watch — without annoying smartphone pairing. It basically didn't need to do much at all, but it should be inexpensive. So I ordered one of those €20 models from Aliexpress. Here's what I got.

If you do not absolutely need round display look at PineTime. Open source from hardware to software.

Good luck. I want something very simple that does alarms and timers with at least 21 days of battery life and am struggling to find a worthy option.
