Best Budget Smartwatches: Top Cheap Picks
CNET staff -- not advertisers, partners or business interests -- determine how we review products and services. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. There are plenty of affordable smartwatches out there, but few are actually worth your time. The sub-$100 category has become the wild west of wearables; crowded with imposters making big claims and delivering on very few. We haven't tested every bargain-bin watch on the market, but we've tested enough to know when we've found a rare gem. A watch that goes beyond just the basics, with solid health and fitness tracking, smartphone features that actually work, and a multi-day battery life that can outlast some pricier models. Here's our pick for the best smartwatch under $100, plus a couple that almost made the cut. And we also share a few tips on what to look for when shopping in this cluttered (and sometimes sketchy) category. Our Picks Best budget watch for Android Amazfit Bip 6 Jump to details $80 at Amazon Jump to details Best Memorial Day Deals CNET's team of shopping experts have explored thousands of deals on everything from mattresses and TVs to everyday essentials and outdoor fun so you can shop the best Memorial Day deals in one place. See now What's the best cheap smartwatch overall? The best budget smartwatch by a landslide is the Amazfit Bip 6. This is the kind of watch that makes you forget its sub-$100 price tag, packing features you'd normally expect from models that cost at least twice as much. This includes advanced health metrics like SpO2 (blood oxygen), wrist temperature tracking, stress levels and women's health insights. It also lasted more than a week on a single charge during our testing, and can be tweaked to stretch even longer with custom settings. Smartphone integration isn't as seamless as what you'd get from Wear OS or WatchOS smartwatches, since the Bip 6 runs its own proprietary system. But that also means it's compatible with both Android phones and iPhones. Just note that iPhone users won't be able to respond to notifications from the watch. The Bip 6 delivers where it counts, making it a great option for anyone prioritizing price and willing to spend a little more time setting it up to fit their needs. Vanessa Hand Orellana / CNET Photo Gallery 1/3 Amazfit Bip 6 Vanessa Hand Orellana / CNET Best budget watch for Android Amazfit Bip 6 Pros $80 price is much less than most watches Works with Android and iOS Great battery life (lasts a week with heavy use) Tracks a wide variety of fitness activities accurately Temperature tracking and advanced sleep monitoring Cons Single sizing option (44mm) UI and app are unintuitive Some health metrics are hard to interpret Voice assistant is unreliable Bluetooth range is short (especially on iPhone) The $80 Amazfit Bip 6 is the most affordable option on this list, and a rare standout in the budget smartwatch category because it delivers on all the basics (and more) without many compromises. The design and interface aren't as refined as what you'll find with pricier models, but that feels like a fair trade-off considering how much the Bip 6 gets right. It offers accurate fitness tracking, with customizable training tools like heart rate zones, plus advanced health features including SpO2 (blood oxygen); temperature and sleep tracking; and high and low heart rate alerts. Why we like it While its low price might be its main draw, the Amazfit Bip 6 is one of the few sub-$100 smartwatches that's actually worth your time. Beyond all the features mentioned above, we also like it for its weeklong (or longer) battery life and its compatibility with both iPhones and Android phones. Who it's best for The Amazfit Bip 6 is ideal for anyone looking to try out a smartwatch without making a major investment. It's a great fit for folks willing to do a bit of customization on the back end to make the watch work for their specific needs. ...

This list is a great place to start, but it's worth thinking through your priorities (beyond just price) before you commit. Here's what to keep in mind when shopping under $100: Software and UI If reliability and user-friendly design matter to you, stick with more established brands like Samsung, Fitbit or even other Amazfit options. At this price, you can likely score some older models at a discounted rate or opt for fitness tracker hybrids like the Samsung Fit 3 or the Fitbit Inspire 3 with some smartwatch features that work well with your phone. Samsung pairs seamlessly with Samsung phones, while Fitbit and Amazfit options tend to work reliably across both iOS and Android. Design Design is often where budget watches cut corners. Many use plastic cases and silicone bands, which can feel bulkier and look less refined. Screen quality is another trade-off -- lower resolution displays can appear grainy or pixelated. If aesthetics matter, consider older models of premium brands or a fitness tracker with a sleeker look. Samsung's Galaxy Watch4 can often be found at a discounted rate for under $100. Lexy Savvides/CNET Battery Life Battery life claims can be misleading at this price. Make sure what's advertised for the specific watch reflects typical use, and includes some kind of stripped-down low-power mode that only shows the time. Always-on displays that often accelerate battery drain are rare on wearables under $100, but most watches should last 24 hours (at the bare minimum) using raise-to-wake mode. Connectivity and GPS Expect only Wi-Fi models in this range, meaning you won't be able to make calls or send texts without your phone nearby. Also, check the GPS capability; some watches, like the Bip 6, can track outdoor workouts independently, while others, like the Fit3, rely on your phone for mapping. Price You're already filtering for watches under $100, but even within that range, you'll find differences. Going closer to $50 usually means fewer features, but that could be fine if you don't need all the bells and whistles. If you're looking for something more well-rounded, the $80 to $100 range tends to offer better value overall. We put all our smartwatches through the paces of everyday life including at least one outdoor workout. How we test smartwatches With budget smartwatches, we follow the same rigorous testing guidelines as their premium counterparts, paying even closer attention to categories where we may see potential trade-offs like sensor accuracy and software support. The Basics: First, we evaluate how well these watches hold up to real-world use: notifications, texting (if available), and phone pairing. We also review the companion app experience, which is particularly important for budget watches, many of which rely on proprietary apps for health data and customization. Some may lack advanced phone integration -- especially for iPhone users -- so we flag those limitations in our reviews. Performance and navigation: While lower-cost models rarely have the processing power of premium options, we assess how smooth and responsive the interface is during typical use. That includes swiping between menus, launching workouts, syncing to the app and responding to notifications (when available). Design and durability: Affordability doesn't have to mean cheap build quality. We test for comfort, fit, and how the watch holds up to daily wear and tear. Most budget models don't come with military-grade durability or high water resistance ratings so we're not as 'rough' on these devices and only go up to what the rating allowed, but will fully acknowledge this trade off in the review. The Amazfit Bip 6 has new sensors under the hood that improve precision for health and fitness tracking. Vanessa Hand Orellana / CNET Battery life: Budget smartwatches tend to outperform premium ones when it comes to battery life because of the lesser-quality screen and power-hungry apps, but it's not always a given. We start our testing with a fully charged battery and then test how long a watch lasts with normal use. This includes sleep tracking, mirrored notifications from our phone and at least one outdoor (using GPS). Once it's drained, we'll time how long it takes to charge back up to 100%. We'll also flag any battery-saving tactics unique to that model, although our core testing is done at full capacity (not battery-saving mode). Sensor accuracy: Sensor quality can be hit or miss in this category, so we run side-by-side comparisons with gold-standard tools. For heart rate, we test against a chest strap during cardio workouts. For SpO2, we use a fingertip pulse oximeter. For watches with built-in GPS, we also assess how quickly the GPS locks in for outdoor workouts and compare its accuracy to a smartphone GPS (separate from the one it's paired to). We'll call out any obvious inconsistencies in route and tracking. Ultimately, we're looking for watches that deliver true value and not just a long spec sheet of half baked-features. The Amazfit Active 2 is a slightly more refined, and expensive version of the Bip 6 which is our favorite budget pick. Amazfit Other smartwatches we've tested We've also tested the Amazfit Active 2, which shares a lot of the same great features as the Bip 6 but comes in a smaller, circular design that feels a bit more premium thanks to its stainless steel frame and slimmer body. It's more expensive than the Bip 6, but at $100, it technically still makes the cutoff to land a spot on this list (barely). If you're looking to go with an even more affordable watch, the $60 Samsung Galaxy Fit 3, which we're currently testing, is proving to be a solid hybrid fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid that pairs well with Galaxy phones. While it doesn't offer smart features like text replies, voice dictation or built-in GPS, it does include many of the same health tools as the Galaxy Watch and integrates seamlessly with Samsung's Health app. For a more full-featured option, the older Galaxy Watch 4 still holds up to today's standards with ECG and blood pressure tracking (but no skin temperature). It may not be as speedy as the newer models, but it will run the latest version of Wear OS and you can often find it for under $100 through third-party retailers like Walmart. The Galaxy Watch 4 still holds up, and can often be snatched up at a steep discount form third party sellers. Scott Stein/CNET
