Title: Should I buy a Smart Watch under $55 ?
Post by: Geek-9pm on November 30, 2018, 01:34:45 PM

My nephew just showed me his new Android based Smart Watch. His says it can answer phone calls. I would  never even consider buying one.  :o

But just now I see Amazon has some new watches under $50 that claim to interface with an Android phone via Bluetooth. Is hat for real?  ???

So here is my question. Have yu recently bought a very low price Smart Watch that was really useful?  Does it truly work with your Smart Phone?

My friend bought one for 15 dollars off of amazon and sure the display is horrid, but the rest of it is decent. I wouldn't spend that little though. They usually work good in my experience.
