Re: Wyze $20 Smart Watch
#2I often wonder how Wyze makes any money.
They're usually 2-10 times cheaper than their competitors, while providing better features, better design, and better support.
I love all of my Wyze devices and purchased another $100 worth of them just yesterday (3 bulbs, 2 sockets, 3 sensors, 1 camera, 1 SD card).
I like how they go out of their way to add features to their devices. For example, they provide a firmware for the Wyze Cam that turns it into a webcam, which I've been using for online education for the past few months.
For the past few days, I've done extensive research on smart watches and fitness bands. I looked into everything, from Apple Watch, Tizen, Pebble, WearOS, Fitbit, PineTime, etc. I haven't found anything with such a good value as the Wyze Watch. Some of the hackable nRF52832 based devices (PineTime, Colmi P8) have similar prices, but they have a smaller display, no SPo2 sensor, and you basically have to write your own OS (InfiniTime, WASP-OS, Zephyr, RIOT).
I'm really impressed. I wonder if there's a catch.

You might just be seeing the markup of other products.
Their products are cheap enough that if it misses a motion event you'll say "oh well, it's doing well for a $20 camera."

#4As a runner, this is relatively useless without a GPS. Include that and sign me up in a heartbeat.

You were able to find sensors? When I've looked they've always been sold out for months.

Are they selling a bunch of activity data to people or something? $20 for a smart watch has me wanting to try this. I wonder if the catch is that they only work for about a year?
Re: Wyze $20 Smart Watch
#7Interesting, but they ship only to the US, which is a deal breaker for me. Would've ordered.

Look into the Amazfit Bip. A bit more than $20, but cheap and the battery lasts ~40 days. If you're using GPS a lot it will be less than 40.
Even so, battery life is measured in weeks, not days.

+1. Highly recommend Amazfit Bip!
The battery life is so long that I forget where I keep my charging cable.

It's funny - i avoid Wyze because it seems such a good deal. Something seems off about that, the price is simply too good - and i loathe being the product these days.
