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.

smartwatch under $100? I can’t even find good earbuds that cost $100. 😂 anyway u look beautiful as always
Still have the Apple Watch series 2. Works perfectly 😊
apple watch wins
Apple Watch is better
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.
i got an amazfit a few years ago, and have been happy with it
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.
Nice info, & good comparison, showing them worn together.😊Solid, concise vid.
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
Battery life will always be a selling point for me on these secondary devices
Bought an Amazfit…….just out of warranty the screen went purple. Couldn’t use it anymore 😢
How to order?
Get a real watch please
Thank you.
Very Good, Thanks for the News.
The nothing watch has my attention 👀👀👀
Is there any rectangular smartwatch with wear os or coming clos (for example spotify support)
i got the amazfit you reviewed a couple of years ago and am ready for a new one – so this is timely – thanks!
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
The SKG ID 208 BT is my favorite cheap smart watch. Can answer calls on it.
She didn’t look very hard. I bought a Halo Fit Watch on Amazon for $27.00 on Amazon ($37 – $10 coupon= $27). It has all the features those have & I charge the battery once a week. Great Smartwatch @ a fantastic price!
Have an og Amazfit Bip with custom firmware (Bip OS) and custom app (Master). Only feature it’s missing is camera shutter, but someone might already made an applet for that. 21 days of runtime at minimum is still unbeatable by any of these 3.
Huawei fit 3 for 140$ !!!
That’s looking good.
Bip 5 Unity does have a speaker
What 4G LTE watches would you recommend under $100?
AmazFit works no issue
Where’s redmi watch 4?
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.
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.
Tozo s 5 is only 50 and it’s awesome
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.
I would love to see some repairability score or something. My wife has the Fitbit Versa 2 or something and needs another watch because the battery does not last at all. Ading a repairability score or something might push the companies to make their products more repairable. ( the Fitbit Versa 2 is very difficult to replace the battery.
Literally lies 😂
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.
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.
I want a smartwatch to replace my guess rose gold smartwatch android wear
alexa in xiaomi/ redmi watches is not reliable. very dissapointed.
Apple Watch 4 is 44mm and perfect for me
no me gusta 👎 eso no es tecnología moderna
why did i buy a smartwatch before this video came out!!!
Like your videos…lots of usefull info, well organized, concise, and well presented.
I just got the Kospet Tank T3 Ultra, and it is Awesome, Highly Recommend! 👍
