Reviewing the Poco Watch, a budget-friendly smartwatch costing just 79 Euros and sporting similar features to Xiaomi's devices, plus a skinny design to suit all wrists. I've been testing the Poco Watch for over a week now and here's my final verdict - is it one of our favourite wrist rockets of 2022?
One of the highlights of this smartwatch is that slim, light finish, making it suitable for women and men and even kids. You still get a respectable 3-4 days of battery life per charge, while the UI is straight out of the Xiaomi S1. That means limited expandability and notifications support, but all the main features you'd hope for are here. Fitness fans have over 100+ exercise tracking, built-in GPS and 24 hour heart rate monitoring.
The Poco Watch also serves up a crisp and punchy AMOLED screen, with full auto brightness. It's comfortable to wear, water resistant and pretty rugged to boot.
So are you tempted by the Poco Watch if you're on a budget and can't splash out on the Samsung or Apple alternatives? Also check out my unboxing and review coverage with the Amazfit, Huawei, Xiaomi and Ticwatch models, for alternative ideas.
