Unlike Fitbit, this smartwatch tracks blood pressure, and it's down to just $21

Yahoo21-03-2025

Have you put that 2025 exercise regimen into effect yet? Maybe you want to get a fitness tracker first — well, we've got you. While many people consider the Apple Watch to be the gold standard, the price is a bit steep. There's a smartwatch that's much more affordable and still has tons of features that rival the Apple bestseller. Meet the Popglory! It's easy to use, and at $21, can you really go wrong? (The answer is no, you cannot.)
This is an immensely popular device that shares several features with the Apple Watch, but it's just $21 right now with the on-page discount code. Compare that with the most bare-bones Apple Watch model you can buy, the Apple Watch SE, which starts at around $199, down from $250. Meanwhile, Fitbit's most basic smartwatch, the Versa 4, is considered a deal at $188 instead of its usual $200.
There are a lot of budget smartwatches on the market, but most lack the quality that would make them worth the trouble. That's not the case with the Popglory, fans say.
Of course, it tracks things like calories burned, steps walked, heart rate and even how well you slept — you know, all the smartwatch metrics you'd expect. But it also reads blood pressure, a feature absent from both the Fitbit and Apple Watch. If you sit too long, it will remind you to stand up and move around. There are even buttons to control your music.
Compared with many smartwatches we've seen at this price, the Popglory commands stellar reviews and has a wider range of functions. Plus, in keeping with its moniker, it's available in seven colors, including understated pink and vibrant purple.
This affordable smartwatch has received over 4,700 five-star reviews from customers who praise its accuracy and overall functionality.
"The Popglory watch does more than any current Fitbit watch," one stat-tracking shopper said. "I had a Fitbit that took blood pressure. Now the Fitbits, for some reason, do not take blood pressure. I have had the Popglory [at the] doctor, and I had the same blood pressure within two points as my doctor got. That is fantastic."
"Very efficient," said another metric-minded buyer. "It tells my blood pressure, my heart rate and my oxygen level. ... There are so many wonderful features on this watch. It almost acts like an Apple Watch, and it connects to my Apple phone just perfectly. If something goes wrong with this watch, I am sure to get another. But I've had it for a little over a year now and it's still doing wonderful."
Many users have commented on its hefty runtime: "I bought this last year, and I love it so much. It is pretty customizable and accurate. I love the battery life on it. You charge for one hour and it stays charged for about three days!"
"I'm loving this smartwatch. It isn't huge," another five-star fan said. "Great selection of faces to choose from. App seems to work great so far. I can't sleep with a watch on, so unsure about the sleep feature. Seems to be holding battery life well. Has a feature to tell you to get up and get active — who doesn't need that?"
Despite all its features, the Popglory is missing a big one — it's not waterproof. But for the price, reviewers say that's a fair trade-off. "I really like the sleep tracker on this watch, and the quality is very good," another wearer said. "The only downside is that it's not waterproof, but for the price, I can't complain. Fantastic watch for the money."
"This is an amazing watch ... great quality but without the Apple Watch price," a final fan said. But they cautioned: "The downside is it may cause skin irritation to some."
The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Live updates: Apple WWDC event to kick off with keynote, iPhone and iOS announcements

Update: Date: 11 min ago Title: The big question: What's next for Apple Intelligence? Content: Last year, Apple made its long-awaited push into AI with the introduction of Apple Intelligence. But it's faced hurdles since then; Apple Intelligence wasn't ready in time for the iPhone 16's launch last fall. The company delayed its revamped version of Siri that incorporates data from a person's iPhone to answer questions – a factor that could be key in separating it from rival AI helpers. And it pulled AI-generated summaries of Apple News notifications earlier this year after displaying inaccurate headlines. The bigger issue is that Apple's current AI tools don't offer experiences that are notably different from what you can get elsewhere. Now, at WWDC, Apple will show how its AI efforts have progressed over the past year. Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: What to expect at WWDC this year Content: The past two WWDC events have been milestones for Apple, marking expansions into new areas like generative artificial intelligence and mixed reality. This year's event, however, is expected to be more muted. Apple typically introduces sweeping new software updates for its major products at WWDC: the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, AirPods and Vision Pro. This year, those updates could include a major software redesign for the iPhone and other products, more translation features, a tool that uses AI to manage the iPhone's battery life and an upgrade to the Messages app that makes it more like WhatsApp, according to Bloomberg. Apple may also rebrand the name of its new software for each product to correspond with the coming year, the report says. For example, instead of going from iOS 18 to iOS 19, the company is expected to call its next iPhone update iOS 26. That could provide more continuity across products, given that software version numbers currently differ across platforms.
