The 5 Best New Smartwatches of 2020

A sub-brand of the Chinese company OPPO Realme has released several cheap smartphones with excellent functionality, but few people expected that it would be able to create smartwatches with decent features and a price tag of $70. The original design of the RMA161 is not surprising - it looks like a replica of the Apple Watch, but they offer 20 days of battery life, which is much more convincing than the 18 hours of the American legend.

The watch also detects 14 types of exercise and transmits information to a smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0. Thanks to them, the owner is always aware of the weather forecast, notifications from applications, incoming calls and messages. More than 100 themes have been developed to personalize the gadget; interchangeable straps are available for sale at a price of $7.

Especially for little fidgets, the company created the Children Watch 4X model.Their key feature is the presence of two chambers located at an angle of 90 ° to each other.
