Cheap Apple Watch clones: are they worth buying?
I was pleasantly surprised by what I found when I opened the AcclaFit's box. I was expecting something truly awful, like the last bargain bin fitness tracker to cross my desk. This looked… fine. At 82 grams with a plastic backing, a three-piece sensor array, and a metal band around the case, it felt more premium than it had any right to be.
And there are lots of them. As the box states, you get lots of different sports modes, a step counter, calorie counter, HRM, call alert, Find My Phone functionality, sleep tracking, and call and message notifications. All quite impressive, in theory. True, there are some spelling mistakes likely to do with translation in the app, and the refresh rate and touchscreen controls could certainly be improved, but overall? I was definitely expecting worse, and it’s perfectly usable. An impressive amount of features are on offer here for such a cheap watch. You get 24/7 heart rate monitoring, blood pressure and blood oxygen tests, a calorie counter, a step counter, and sleep tracking which differentiates between light and deep sleep.
Outside of the fitness stuff, you get call and SMS alerts plus basic alarm functionality. There are also multiple watch faces, including an option to use your own photos. This is a nice touch, and as you can see in the image higher up, I took advantage of this to upload a sailboat photo watch face. The Find My Phone functionality, which allows you to buzz your phone using a functionality on the watch, also worked a treat during my tests.
