What to buy instead of Apple Watch in the fall of 2022

0

After Apple equipment, and in particular, Apple Watch, began to be delivered to Russia using parallel imports, the prices for some items became higher than they were before. In such a situation, the purchase of some models simply ceases to be appropriate. For example, this applies to the second-generation Apple Watch SE. It would be a very good watch if it weren’t for the value of money. Competitors can find models that are cheaper and have a lot of useful features.

If you are in search of a good smartwatch and do not want to overpay for an Apple Watch, then we have selected five great options, especially for you that will not disappoint you.

Amazfit GTR 3 Pro — buy

The Apple Watch has one fairly serious drawback. They have only one body shape. And if you don’t like rectangular watches, but fundamentally want to get perfect synchronization between iPhone and watch , then you have no choice other than the Apple Watch. And therefore, you have to put up with a square body.

But if you choose from third-party manufacturers, then the choice becomes much more interesting. At least because of the opportunity to choose the form factor that you like. Since I love round watches, I will first of all recommend the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro model . Why are they better than the Apple Watch, in addition to the round screen?

The operating time of the GTR 3 Pro in a typical use case is up to 12 days of operation. Always On Display can reduce this time a little, but not as critical as if you use it on your Apple Watch. If you use the clock to its fullest, then they will work in the region of 6 days. Against the background of the device from Cupertino, it looks really cool.

All other functions are standard, as for any other smart watch:

  • 150 different types of workouts.
  • Sleep monitoring.
  • Measurement of pulse and blood oxygen saturation.
  • Determining the quality of breathing and the level of stress.
  • Round-the-clock monitoring of health indicators.
  • Demonstration of notifications with the ability to respond to some of them.
  • Amoled screen with a diagonal of 1.45 inches and a dot density of 331 ppi.

In general, all characteristics are at an excellent level. But the most important thing is the price. You can order Amazfit GTR 3 Pro for 14,700 rubles. Which is much cheaper than the Apple Watch. Even if we consider the second generation Apple Watch SE .

Amazfit GTS 3 — buy

But what if you like the form factor of Apple watches, but you don’t want to overpay? Here you should turn your eyes to Amazfit GTS 3 . From afar, not everyone will determine that this is not an Apple Watch. But the most interesting thing is that they are equipped with the same capabilities as the GTR 3 Pro. Except for the screen.

Thanks to its rectangular shape, the GTS 3 has a diagonal of 1.75 inches with a pixel density of 341 ppi. This is a little more than in the GTR 3 Pro, so it will be somewhat more convenient to control the clock. Plus, almost all non-Apple watches support the standard watch mount. For this reason, you can choose any strap that you like. The main thing is to know exactly the width of the fastener.

The cost of Amazfit GTS 3 is not very far from the GTR 3 Pro and is 12,600 rubles. If you take the seller’s coupon, then the price can be slightly reduced. In general, Amazfit turned out to be an excellent device for those who do not want to overpay for an Apple Watch, but at the same time want to keep their favorite form factor.

Fitness bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Pro

If you were looking for a smart watch for yourself, then you could not help but come across Xiaomi Mi Band. However, the classic version of this bracelet may not appeal to everyone. Fortunately, Xiaomi heard its users that year and released a version with a larger screen and advanced features of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Pro .

It is equipped with a 1.64-inch display with a pixel density of 326 ppi. As you can see, this device is not far in size from Amazfit GTS 3. What can the new bracelet do? In principle, everything is like in a large smart watch:

  • Heart rate and sleep monitoring.
  • Measurement of oxygen levels in the blood.
  • Workout.
  • View incoming notifications.
  • Music control from the bracelet.
  • Women’s health monitoring.

And this is only part of all the possibilities. Plus, the screen is equipped with Always On Display technology , which consumes battery power to a minimum. The price here is still better than the previous two options. You can order Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Pro for 6230 rubles. Two times cheaper than the Amazfit GTS 3. The only real disadvantage of the Mi Band 7 Pro is the strong screen flicker, which some users will even see with the naked eye. But not all this parameter is important. Most often it is the price that decides, and it is very tasty here.

Huawei Watch GT3 — buy

From rectangular watches, I propose to return to round ones again and consider the Huawei Watch GT3 model . It exists in two different sizes: 42 and 46 mm. This will allow you to choose a model for any wrist. Like all previous models, Huawei Watch GT3 is equipped with the following features:

  • Measurement of pulse and oxygen levels in the blood.
  • Workout.
  • Call answer.
  • 24/7 health monitoring.
  • Working time: 42 mm – up to 7 days; 46 mm – up to 14 days.
  • Built-in GPS allows you to map sports activities most accurately.
  • Sleep monitoring.

This is the fourth third-party iPhone watch we’ve reviewed, and each of them lasts significantly longer than the Apple Watch. It’s time for Apple to think not just about increasing the number of functions, but to give users the opportunity not to think about charging for at least four to five days. The cost of Huawei Watch GT3 is 13,270 rubles. Thanks to the seller’s coupon, it can be reduced by 1330 rubles. It’s just as great as the previous three. All you have to do is choose the amount you want to spend and the design you like.

Inexpensive smart watch

But there is also a very extreme option. In a situation where you don’t know if you need a smart watch and don’t want to spend big money on buying one just to try what it is, then you should buy something extremely simple. For example, here is a smart watch bracelet. They are equipped with the following features:

  • Count steps and calories.
  • Notification of incoming calls and messages.
  • Pulse lock.
  • Sleep monitoring and alarm clock.
  • Water protection.
  • Workout.

That is, everything is the same as in the most expensive models. Of course, the screen here is not of such high quality, and the accuracy of some sensors may not be ideal, but it is easy to form an opinion about the need for smartwatches.
