I bought the exact same one off Bid or Buy for R250 about 6 months ago. Its meh... Works. Battery lasts all of 2 days if you don't use the watch.

First link looks similar to this one on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Wearable-Sma...ll_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=recent

Reviews are mostly positive, although it does seem to be quite cheap, but then, you get what you pay for. Will probably work better with an Android device then with an iOS device.

Second one on Amazon as well: https://www.amazon.com/Buyee-1-54-I...ll_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=recent

This is probably one of those things that will end up in your cupboard after a week or 2. Its basically a android phone with a tiny screen.

Thanks for the help and feed back, going to look into one of these options. its a gift for someone. doesnt have to be the best aslong as it has a bit of functionality.

Well at the moment I own the Sony Smartwatch 2. I got it for R900. I am really happy with the watch. A Samsung Gear S2 would've been nice, but for the budget the Smartwatch 2 just does the thing.

A friend has one of these. Paid R160 for it from DealExtreme.

Very cheaply made CSTN display with horrible viewing angles and pixelated screen, but does what it says on the tin. The apk to link it to Android phones requires you to register for an account with them. It doesn't seem to be on the Play Store, but you scan a QR code that redirects you to some xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address with a download link.

Battery lasts around two days, and it charges with MicroUSB. The touchscreen responsiveness and sensitivity is also not really all there.

You must really hate this person. Rather get them something else for the same amount than something they might find unusable?

If it is for a guy/male, might I suggest going to www.mantality.co.za?

They have some cool stuff there, a wide selection of gifts etc to suite most tastes

If it's for the fairer sex then I dunno, book her a mani or pedi or whatever it is they like

lol, i hear you. a friend of mine asked me to look into it for his son, he knows even less about these things than i do

 

[GSP]

looks like a decent gift site, will look into it. thanks
