The perfect smartwatch for budgeting students
Smartwatches have become a viral trend recently, with devices such as the Apple Watch proving popular amongst students and athletes alike. However, with those prices being insanely high for us college students, is there an affordable alternative?
The Letsfit Smart Watch EW1 is a customizable and water-resistant smartwatch that tracks your health and fitness while staying affordable.
When I first saw this watch on Amazon, I was pretty skeptical about how it would perform compared to other popular options. However, after wearing it for two months, it has exceeded my expectations. Not only does it appear high quality to the casual eye, but the watch also functions with minimum issues; I was able to see notifications, control my music and start workouts straight from the smartwatch. Since it pairs with any smartphone via its app, you can check your progress and change your settings according to your personal needs. The watch can track your sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and breathing. However, the function I am most impressed with is its 5 ATM water-resistance feature. I was able to wear it swimming multiple times without the watch slowing down or malfunctioning. Granted, I swam in a pool that was not more than 6 feet deep, so be aware of its depth limitations. Also, the battery life is perfect for someone with a busy schedule. I was able to use the watch for multiple days before I had to charge it and, when I did, it charged up incredibly fast.
On the other hand, some features are not available on this model. For instance, you cannot respond to phone calls or text messages, only dismiss them.Also, since it pairs via Bluetooth, you have to be a certain distance away from your phone to use all of the available features.
In the end, the blood pressure monitor was the only feature that proved disappointing as it gave inaccurate readings sometimes.
Overall, the Letsfit Smart Watch EW1 gives its consumers plenty of features ranging from aesthetics to function options while remaining in a lower-price range. Although this product unexpectedly got kicked from Amazon, you can still find the watch in various colors on Letsfit’s website retailing for $43.99.
