Okay please don't flame me, I've been on Banggood all day and there are numerous smart watches available but I can't seem to find one that is exactly the same as an apple watch? I need Bluetooth calling and would like the speech to text function plus the looks and feel of an apple watch but at a fraction of the price.
Has anyone got any recommendation or personal preference
For $100?
Any smartwatch for $100 isn't worth the $100. It's a waste of money. Worse idea than your banned Xbox one.
Have you considered buying a second hand apple watch?. Even the early versions would probably perform better than a Chinese knockoff.
This is good advice. A second hand apple watch that appears basically new (series 1,2 or 3) will only cost between $100-200 and will work seamlessly with Apple devices. The knockoff smartwatches continually disconnect, miss messages and calls, sound tinny, have poor battery life, etc.
The cynic in me wants to know how you know this!
Some people are just brand name snobs yet some of those cheap phones and headphones can be good
It'll be very difficult/near impossible to find an Apple watch clone with the same software experience; it may look or feel the same, but the software won't be very good. As others have mentioned, an earlier Apple Watch is probably the best way to go.
