I got it and it does what it says it does. Tracks steps, activity, heartrate and sleep for 20$. If you want to pay 400$ for notifications that's another watch but this one does what it does

I think to compare a $20 watch to an $800 watch is pretty stupid at the very least. Compare Apples to Apples! I have a Wyze Watch 47 and for the money I Love it. I personally wouldn't pay $800 for any smart watch.

For saying that you can't compare it to the Apple watch, you sure do spend the entire review doing exactly that. Your end comments just say, 'I'm biased to my $800 smartwatch, I couldn't even stand to wear it.' This is not good tech journalism.

I'm buying this as a gift for someone who just wanted a step counter. It's a good deal for the money. I have an Apple Watch 6, and I use most of the functions, but I actually use the phone / FaceTime audio feature most of all. Thanks for the review!

I disagree. I think it's absurd to pay $800 for a watch. You're paying so much more for minuscule features that don't justify the price point imo. Do you really need what the Apple watches do better at? imo no unless your life literally depends on it. In general, I think Apple products and services are horrible because they're basically a proprietary company and can jack up the prices however and whenever they please because they got the name recognition and brand that can fool anyone. Also, keep in mind that these Wyze watches are the first generations so although they don't match up with Apple Watches pound for pound, in time newer versions will come out and it will be better for a fraction of the price. Wyze is a reputable company as well and they're not one of those 'no name' brand companies that sell budget smart watches on Amazon and become discontinued in the later future. And they also have their own app instead of relying on a third party app. Anyone reading this and don't know much about Wyze, trust me they support and care about their products and they usually update their products. This isn't a knockoff brand.

Anyone who pays 800 bucks for a smart watch has more dollars than sense.

For just a watch with a few perks, it’s great. The battery lasts for days. I don’t need to use readers to see the time and day. It’s cheaper than most regular sport watches out there. For the price it’s better than most watches. It doesn’t and shouldn’t be compared with a fancy Apple Watch, but it’s a great and affordable plain watch. That’s what I needed. You can see the time at night. Has a long battery life. My alerts pop up faster than my iPad . It’s great when my phone calls pop up I can see who is calling and I can hang up if I wish to. Great for kiddos and or seniors.

Thank you for talking about the raise to wake feature! I've been watching many different reviews and yours was the first to mention it. I'm rather particular about how long it takes to wake, so I appreciate knowing your experience.

Not sure why people always feels the need to compare to a Apple watch. Like comparing an Escort to a BMW. Anybody buying a $20 watch expecting an $800 experience is silly. Would be nice to just see a review of a $20 watch. For a inexpensive fart around, gym, pool, beach, wear and forget watch, you get a lot for the small price. Plus I can give my other smart watches a break. Good review, btw.

I had an Apple watch (Ver 1 $200) it died after 2 years. The #1 feature I missed after it died was being able to see who the call or Text is coming from without pulling the phone out of my pocket. Problem solved for a very reasonable price. Bonus 9 day battery life, pulse ox, and lots of other stuff.

I just received mine yesterday, and I agree with your review. It's meant more for someone who would ruin or lose an expensive watch, someone 10-13 years old, cannot afford one, or refuses to pay that much for a watch. It's very basic, but what do you want for $20, I guess? I don't think I'll keep it, it's even more basic than I thought it would be. I can't even get the notifications to work, even thought they're turned on in the Wyze app, and it's paired via BT. The DND is not turned on and my phone is not on mute. It's going back in the box.

Great vid man, thanks!

you can set a "do not disturbed" in the Wize app so the watch doesn't buzz or make noise wile off wrist.

Thank you for this review, does the Wyze Watch screen get unlocked by water & detects water as finger taps like the Wyze Band does?

Jesus...why did you even bother reviewing the Wyze watch? All you did was bash it the entire time. That is not a review. This watch is meant to be a cheap smart watch that does many of the things other smart watches do at a super cheap price and they accomplished that all for around $25!!! Enjoy charging your Apple watch daily while a Wyze watch wearing gets 7-9 days between charges. I hate when "reviewers" go into a "review" with a very biased opinion before they even start the actual review and bash the product right and left. Next time don't even bother. And no I don't have a Wyze watch or an Apple watch. I did have a Fitbit Versa until it was stolen recently.

Amazing review, I think I'm going with the Apple SE.

I am a user of Wyze cams and they fill my need. But your video saved me from throwing $20 in the trash. Thank you!

I just got mine and to 100% real with everyone. I have owned two TicWatches and I always felt for the money I should have gotten more. Although I am not blown away with the features of this watch I feel I got every bit of the $25 price I spent.

How accurate is the step counter compared with other brands/apps?

I preordered mine and I LOVE it!!

Hi. Can you store music on it and can it use bluetooth to connect to wireless headphones? I would rather listen to music stored on a watch than dragging a clunky phone around during workouts.

i received it a few days ago. i never owned an apple watch, so i think it's a pretty good watch for its price. It is superlight, after wearing it for a while i didn't even know it's there anymore. I wish it could do the always display though. the raise to wake is rather slow sometimes, which i hate because i need to c the time right away. And that 1 sec or so of delay is rather annoying when it's repetitive day after day. coworkers think I have an apple watch when they c it though hah!

For lunch money I'm happy if it can show time lol

I got mine and wanted to see what others are saying, mine seems to have a better refresh rate, it's much more smooth, but my heartrate and BOL sensor doesn't read really well unless it's strapped to my arm like a tourniquet also the apps are pretty useless, timer gives up at some points without warning (not sure why) sleep tracker doesn't read during the day for some reason, and the screen offset is very noticeable and almost annoying....but for $20 I really can't nitpick, it's a darn good watch if nothing else

The options or functions are different between 44 and 47mm. I have more options and notifications available to use on the 47mm than 44mm. Text messages cant get it on the 44mm... For sports is worth it but to compare with other smartwatches needs a lot of improvements. Overall good.

I feel like there are a lot of cheap “smart watches” on Amazon and EBay that pretty much do the same things for the same price if not slightly cheaper.

I’m in love with that Apple Watch ⌚️

I own it and the features work well. I got it as a Christmas gift. This is a great watch for when you wanna buy a watch for cheap. I like it. The only thing I think is stupid is: it has a sensor. Yes, it makes it know when it's on your wrist, but it also does it on the table.

loll I was thinking the same. he should have just reviewed it by itself detailing the pros and cons, or compared it to other watches in the price range. nobody looking for an $800 apple watch will settle for a $20 watch (no matter how good) and vice versa.

Haven't done a full review in a while, so I wanted to get the top comment to state my policy on reviews. 1. Reviews can not be sponsored by the company who makes the product being reviewed. 2. If a company provides me with a product for review, I'll let you know in the video. 3. First impressions and reviews are totally different things. "Impressions" or "overview" videos are more about neutral looks at a product, while reviews are more opinionated. And for full clarity, I bought this watch myself and Wyze had no say in the video's production.

I would suggest for your channel get any Android phone so you can connect devices to both platforms.

Customer service is non-existent, and I've been on a runaround for over 2 hours now trying to get some help with double billing issues and recording time issues. If this watch is anything like the camera, I would advise you to just walk away and save some of your sanity for the next ridiculous device that's SUPPOSED to make your life easier.

I dont care for any of those features tbh. I only want a smartwatch to keep track of the Bluetooth connection between phone and watch so that it can alert me if i ever forget my phone. Can you tell me if this is possible to achieve with these cheap watches?

I finally got mine after 3 months of waiting and delays - that's ridiculous - I've never owned a smartwatch so I thought what better way to test the waters than with a $20 throwaway watch. It never stays connected and I can hardly ever configure anything from within the app because of this. Bluetooth says it's connected but the watch and app say otherwise. Raise to wake on the 44 is a joke, by the time I get the stubborn thing to wake for me I could have retrieved my phone and unlocked it. I keep having to remind myself it was $20. As someone who likes the idea of smartwatches but can't bring themselves to spend $300 on the SE or $900 on the series 6, do you have any mid-range watches that nail the basics? I really don't need much in a smartwatch, just want it to do what it says it'll do.

should have gotten the 47 bc the 44 screen is ridiculously small

I love mine. The battery stays charged for nine days as advertised. I threw away my papers and I can’t get my watched back on digital display.

I feel like they literally took 6mo to send this to me since I ordered it last year - I almost would have forgotten about it had they not sent updates on the status over that timeframe. For what it is, I guess it's okay and the price is appropriate (I'd never pay >50 for something like this and I don't have an Apple product, nor will I ever again). Thanks for covering the features, definitely showed me a little about it.

Same lacking un-useable "smart" features when it comes to notification system that I find in all other non Samsung or Wear OS watches. View only. You can only "Dismiss" then "Clear" the notification from the watch. Does NOT clear, or mark as read, etc, the notification from the phone. So you still have to pull out the phone to deal with them piling up or doing the repeat notification tone, since it thinks you ignored it. Pointless. They need to further develop this watch, then it would be excellent. Pixel 3 with Android 11 is what I am using it with.

[TL;DR ... well the TLDR of it is just that... it's too long, so don't read it, it's just a rant about the curvature of these types of watches anyways. You've been warned.] Why are most fitness tracks such that the not-the-band part of the watch not curved to the curvature of a wrist? That bothers me something fierce... how do cheapo's (not the one in the vid, but a lot of them) get this right, while most high-end name brand ones ( Fitbit, Apple watch, Samsung watch, etc.) get it wrong? This isn't hard people. Some of us have bony wrists, and a big flat surface hurts... just saying. (The knobby bit on the top of the wrist on the pinky side... I have a big knobby bit there, the flat ones get elevated on the pinky side by this bump, causing the other side [thumb side] to dip down ... below skin level, denting the skin and pressing into the tendons, ligaments, arteries, veins, and other to tube like things going through my wrist on that side wich hurts... due to the small circumference of my wrist I can't wear it on the sides of my wrist and I don't like it on the bottom of my wrist... but these are the only options on flat watch backs for me if I want it tight enough for the HR monitor to work... making it loose enough not to hurt works on regular watches but if I do it with a heart rate monitor it doesn't work right so one can say I'm just wearing it too tight but the spacing on watch band buckle holes always seems such that the difference between painfully tight and so loose it doesn't work is less than one notch... I'm not the only skinny person to complain about this either ... one's built for the Asian market and ones marketed at women are often no better at this... but oddy it's very common for the cheapo's to just curve the body of the actual watch part which fixes the problem perfectly. Before fitness trackers and smart watches ( when regular watches were king) I imagined the solution to be a band made of super strong materials so that the buckle holes could be very close together for a more granular fit phone not compromising the structural Integrity of the band too much due to the high strength of the material... curving the watch body is a much more elegant solution then what I had dreamed up... now it's a deal maker/breaker for me... can I wear it comfortably.

If you had never owned an Apple Watch (like myself) you would think it’s friken awesome for $20. In my opinion it’s silly to spend $800 for a watch that’s ugly and $20 is exactly the perfect price for an ugly watch. I’ll happily spend $800+ on a dress watch.

Why are you comparing a apple watch to a 20 dollar watch Lmao!

It's more of a long battery life step counter than a real Smartwatch. The 9 day battery life spec is really low - I've gone two weeks between charges and still had 40% charge remaining. But it routinely disconnects from my phone so alerts come in groups after it reconnects or I manually reconnect. Because it is often not connected, the weather app is only really accurate once a day if I manually reconnect. The watch faces are pretty lame and with no customization options like being able to add steps or calories to a face that doesn't have it. Raise to wake requires pretty exaggerated movements so it's easier to use the big side button. As a step counter it's okay and worth the $20. But they really shouldn't call it a "smart" watch. It's more of a village idiot watch - does one thing pretty well and sucks at most other things.
