Smartwatches Under $100: Your Smart Buying Guide

Finding a great smartwatch without spending a lot of money is totally possible! These budget-friendly options offer many cool features. This guide helps you pick the best one for your wrist.

Key Features to Look For

Even cheap smartwatches pack in important functions. You should check for these features first:

Fitness Tracking: Look for step counters, heart rate monitoring, and sleep tracking. These are standard now.
Notifications: The watch must connect to your phone (usually via Bluetooth) to show calls, texts, and app alerts.
Battery Life: Aim for at least 3–5 days of use on a single charge. Some basic models last even longer.
Water Resistance: Check the IP rating (like IP67). This means the watch can handle sweat or rain. It probably won’t survive deep swimming, though.

Display Quality

The screen is how you interact with the watch. Brighter, clearer screens feel much better. Look for colorful displays if possible. Simple, always-on displays save battery but might be harder to read in bright sun.

Important Materials and Durability

The materials affect how long your watch lasts and how it feels.

Watch Body and Strap

Most watches under $100 use strong plastic or polycarbonate for the main body. This keeps them light. The strap is usually silicone or TPU (a flexible plastic). Silicone straps are comfortable for workouts and easy to clean. Metal bands are rare at this price point.

Tip: Make sure the strap connection is standard. If you want to change the look later, you can easily buy a new strap.

Factors That Improve or Reduce Quality

Not all budget watches are created equal. Small differences matter a lot.

Software and App Support

This is where quality often drops. A good smartwatch runs smoothly. If the software is slow or buggy, using it becomes frustrating. Check reviews to see if the companion app (the one on your phone) is easy to use. Poor app support means you miss out on updates and accurate data syncing.

Accuracy of Sensors

The heart rate monitor and step counter might not be perfect. High-end watches spend lots of money making sensors accurate. Budget watches are usually “good enough” for general tracking, but don’t rely on them for medical advice. If the heart rate monitor is listed as “optical,” that is the standard technology used.

User Experience and Use Cases

Think about why you want the watch. This helps you prioritize features.

For Fitness Enthusiasts (Light Use)

If you mainly want to track runs or gym time, focus on good battery life and basic workout modes (running, cycling). You might not need GPS built-in; the watch can use your phone’s GPS instead.

For Daily Notification Management

If you hate pulling out your phone constantly, prioritize a clear screen and reliable Bluetooth connection. You want alerts to pop up immediately.

Remember: These watches usually do not have built-in cellular service or advanced apps like Spotify playback. They work best when paired closely with your smartphone.

10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Smartwatches Under $100

Q: Can these watches make calls directly?

A: Usually, no. Most watches under $100 can only show you that you have an incoming call. You must answer the call on your phone.

Q: Will a cheap smartwatch work with my iPhone/Android phone?

A: Yes, most modern budget watches use Bluetooth to connect to both iOS and Android devices. Always check the product description to confirm compatibility.

Q: How accurate is the sleep tracking on these models?

A: The tracking is generally good at telling you *when* you were asleep versus awake. It might not perfectly track deep vs. light sleep stages, but it gives you a decent overview.

Q: Do I need to pay a monthly subscription for any features?

A: In the sub-$100 range, features are almost always free. Subscription fees are usually reserved for very high-end fitness apps.

Q: Can I use these watches to pay for things (like Apple Pay)?

A: No. Near Field Communication (NFC) for contactless payments is very rarely included in smartwatches under $100.

Q: Is the screen protected if I bump it?

A: Protection varies. Look for watches advertising “tempered glass” or a raised bezel (edge) around the screen. Plastic screens scratch more easily.

Q: How do I charge these watches?

A: They typically use a small magnetic charging cable that clips onto two metal pins on the back of the watch. Keep this cable safe!

Q: Are fitness tracking features always on?

A: Heart rate tracking usually runs continuously or every few minutes. Step counting is always on. You often start specific workout modes manually.

Q: What happens if the battery dies?

A: When the battery runs out, the watch simply stops working until you recharge it. It does not usually keep time accurately while completely dead.

Q: Can I change the watch face?

A: Yes, most watches in this price range allow you to select from several pre-loaded digital or analog watch faces through the companion app.
