Largely agreeing with the take, which is a gap I feel like the CMF Watch 3 Pro is trying to fill.
50€ for a device with a color screen and decent battery? Maybe ten years ago...
The key words are vibration alarm. Feature that exists only on large watches smart or not. I successfully used a smartwatch to diagnose an issue while training, but otherwise I only need the vibration.
totally agree. have always questioned why smartwatches can cost as much or more then a smartphone. insanity. figured Samsung or Motorola wld have realized that there's still a larger market for sub-$150 smartwatches and offered some inexpensive devices. but nobody has come (back) to that. guess still too many consumers buying the silly expensive stuff.
FINALLY!!!
I never posted anything on nbc untill now (because I really want things to change hoping watchmaker devs are "watching" this).
Never mind about thinking "YOU" are the odd one because I thought that "I" was that one (untill I read your comment that is}.
I have an Apple Watch Series SE (LTE) and the things I use are,
1. phone calls and texts
2. agenda, calender, e-mail and alarms
3. payments
That's it!
And none of the other bulls... for the same reasons you mentioned.
These are my two cents.
At a €50 piece point it'll be tough. At roughly 3x that the new Pebble should get you pretty close if you really needed a smart watch.
But honestly,if you need a watch with alarms and good design/solid build quality/long battery you can't do better than the Casio F91W (or one of its ilk)!
