Honor has quietly introduced a new budget smartwatch, and it’s clearly going after a very specific audience. The Watch X5i keeps things simple, keeps things cheap, and leans a lot on design.

At first glance, it looks very familiar. The rectangular shape, curved edges, overall layout, it’s hard not to think of the Apple Watch. But under the surface, this is a much more basic device.

Instead of a full smartwatch platform, the X5i runs on a lightweight RTOS, which means fewer apps and less complexity. That trade-off, though, helps quite a bit with battery life. Honor is claiming up to three weeks on a single charge in typical use, or around six days with always-on display enabled, which is honestly where this kind of watch makes more sense.

The display itself is an AMOLED panel with a 450 x 390 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. Nothing cutting-edge, but more than fine for notifications and basic use. There are also over 180 watch faces, so at least there’s some room for customization.

On the health side, it covers the usual basics. Heart rate tracking, SpO2, stress monitoring, plus sleep tracking and menstrual cycle tracking. There are also 109 sports modes to accompany users through their workouts and track progress. It sounds like a lot, though in practice most people will probably stick to a handful.

One slightly unexpected addition is two-way Bluetooth calling support. The watch includes a speaker and microphone, so you can take calls directly from your wrist when it’s connected to your phone, and even make calls when it’s more convenient than reaching for your phone.

Build-wise, it’s fairly lightweight, with a plastic body and IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. That should be fine for everyday use, but it’s not really meant for swimming or anything beyond light exposure.

The Watch X5i works with both Android and iOS, which helps widen its appeal a bit.

At 229 yuan (roughly $33), it’s clearly not trying to compete with premium smartwatches. It’s more about offering the basics in a design that looks more expensive than it is. And for that kind of price, the battery life alone might be enough for a lot of people.

No word yet on when it might launch outside China, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it show up in more markets soon.

Amazfit is preparing to launch two new smartwatches in India, the Active 3 Premium and the T-Rex Ultra 2. The company has started teasing both models after introducing them globally last month. Sales will take place through Amazon India, the Amazfit India online store, and offline retail channels, although the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed.

The T-Rex Ultra 2 is the more rugged of the two. It uses a 1.5-inch AMOLED display protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass. The build includes a Grade 5 titanium bezel and case back, aimed at durability. It comes with a 10 ATM water-resistance rating and carries dual diving certifications, making it suitable for underwater use.

For outdoor use, the watch supports six satellite positioning systems and includes full-colour global maps. It also offers 64GB of internal storage. A built-in dual-mode flashlight is included, with adjustable brightness and a Boost Mode for maximum output. There is also a green light mode designed to reduce interference with night vision goggles. For safety, the device includes a dedicated SOS signal function.

Battery life is rated at up to 30 days in standard smartwatch mode, and it can run for over 50 hours with continuous GPS tracking.

The Active 3 Premium is designed as a more compact fitness-focused smartwatch. It features a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. The screen is protected by sapphire glass and is housed in a 45mm stainless steel case with four physical control buttons.

It includes built-in running workouts powered by Zepp Coach. The watch supports a six-satellite positioning system and offers offline maps for navigation. It comes with 4GB of internal storage for apps and data.

Battery life on the Active 3 Premium is rated at up to 12 days under typical use, and up to 7 days with heavy activity.

Both models target different users, with the T-Rex Ultra 2 focusing on rugged outdoor use and the Active 3 Premium aimed at everyday fitness tracking.

The post Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 Rugged Watch and Active 3 Premium Fitness Watch Teased in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2

By 2026, it has become difficult for any smartwatch to truly stand out. Nevertheless, the HUAWEI Watch series remains one that Gizmochina Review continues to anticipate. Among the entire lineup, the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner series would be selected within the team without hesitation as the most memorable sub-series. It distinguished itself among professional sports smartwatches from 2021 onward. Five years ago, we reviewed the first-generation GT Runner, which left a lasting impression—certain running-tracking features from that model still rank among the best tie on the market today. At MWC 2026, HUAWEI introduced the all-new HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2, a device that demonstrates considerable potential to challenge Garmin’s dominance in this segment.

With a comprehensive range of Garmin products already available across various price points—such as the 165, 265, 570, and 970 series—dedicated running devices have evolved to offer extensive capabilities for professional training and tracking. However, after two months of testing the GT Runner 2, a clear sense of ambition emerges: by addressing the full spectrum of sports and health applications, the watch elevates industry-leading performance to new levels.

Brief Summary

The following are the truly cutting-edge features of the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2:

1. Ultra-precise positioning and tracking for not only running but also any outdoor sport that requires route tracking/guiding, including hiking and cycling.
2. A comprehensive set of customizable training plans, including a dedicated marathon mode designed to simulate long-distance running training.
3. Access to a professional running performance assessment system when paired with the HUAWEI Health app, enabling precise improvements to personal best (PB) times.
4. An excellent, ultra-lightweight design that supports the watch’s precise tracking capabilities and enhances the wearing experience.
5. Incorporation of the latest all-scenario health features from the HUAWEI Watch series.

The Most Accurate Positioning

Accurate positioning data is essential for properly assessing running performance. At present, the GT Runner 2 delivers the best results in this regard. Over an 8-kilometer run, virtually no noticeable error in distance or route tracking is observed. The watch supports dual-band all-satellite positioning, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS—ensuring coverage by the strongest available signal regardless of the user’s location. To ensure this powerful positioning system operates reliably and efficiently, the watch incorporates a new frame design. A sandwich structure is employed, wherein the metal mid-frame transfers energy to the top floating titanium bezel via the dielectric bezel, generating circularly polarized signals that align effectively with satellite signals.

Even when running or walking in an urban canyon surrounded by towering buildings and dense trees, performance remains impressive.

It can be stated with certainty that during a recent 40-kilometer run, no noticeable drift in positioning or tracking occurred. For specifics, the following record is provided: a total of 7.07 kilometers was run back and forth along a riverbank, with careful attention to maintaining a consistent route. The route recorded by the watch closely matched the actual path, and the individual distance consistently remained around 3.03 kilometers.

My preferred running location is a sports park featuring an irregular 545-meter track, part of which winds through a wooded area. The recorded route consistently demonstrated excellent consistency lap after lap. Distance accuracy was also tested at another sports park with a 3-kilometer track by a mountain. After completing one lap and walking for a few extra seconds at the end, the watch recorded a distance of 3.01 kilometers—the most accurate reading recorded to date. For nearly all runners, accurate route tracking facilitates better monitoring of pace, stride, and other important metrics during training.

Full Details for Run Tracking

This is also among the most valuable benefits derived from the GT Runner 2: greater training consistency and improved self-awareness. Previously, the relationship between running performance and physical condition was difficult to assess accurately. Now, by strictly adhering to the training plans provided by the GT Runner 2, it is possible to track physical performance metrics and identify specific exercises that contribute to improved running performance. For instance, upon reviewing the running balance record, the GT Runner 2 indicated a tendency to place more stress on the left leg. It subsequently recommended Bulgarian split squats and alternating lunge jumps. After regularly performing Bulgarian split squats, the most recent running log shows improvement in the imbalance issue, and anaerobic performance can be sustained for longer durations. Additional metrics such as vertical oscillation, ground contact time, cadence, and others can also be tracked.

For users seeking a rapid assessment of overall running ability, the GT Runner 2 now features an upgraded running assessment system. The system provides access to the Running Ability Index (RAI), Training Load, Training Index, Recovery, VO₂ Max, and Predicted Time.

Marathon Coach & Companion

For marathon runners, the newly introduced intelligent Marathon mode, co-created with DSM-Firmenich Running Team on the GT Runner 2 represents a significant advancement. Runners may choose either a marathon test or follow a race event training plan. The event assistant within HUAWEI Health effectively fulfills the role of a coach, assisting in setting achievable goals and preparing a smart training plan.

Once a specific marathon event is selected, the app generates a training plan based on the user’s goals and running capacity. The plan includes specific weekly sessions such as easy runs, core strength training, progressive tempo runs, lower-body strength training, and steady long runs. Detailed exercise guidance is provided for each session, and the watch automatically records progress. If the watch detects that your metrics are not matching the workout intensity, it will work with the HUAWEI Health app to suggest lowering the intensity, helping you adapt more effectively to the rest of the training plan.

For those committed to improving their personal best, the GT Runner 2 paired with the HUAWEI Health app currently represents an excellent choice—a professional, ongoing training plan is delivered without high additional cost. Especially for amateur runners like me, this smart mode arrives at the perfect time, playing a key role in preventing improper training and reducing the risk of injury.

Innovative Sports Tracking

In addition to enhanced running tracking, the GT Runner 2 effectively builds upon the innovative sports tracking features developed in previous HUAWEI Watch generations, particularly the GT and Ultimate models, including golf, cycling, and hiking. For golf, the watch and app come preloaded with maps of golf courses in most countries and cities worldwide. Courses can be searched, downloaded, and synced to the watch. For outdoor adventure, the watch offers extensive offline maps for most countries, many of which are available with contour lines.

Sufficient Battery Life

Battery life is also impressive given the watch’s focus on athletic performance. Connectivity is limited to Bluetooth, NFC, and specific health and fitness devices, which contributes to extended battery life during workouts. Under normal daily use, including 1.5 hours of exercise tracking per day, the watch lasts over a week on a single charge. The included charging dock additionally provides extremely fast charging.

Multi-platform software compatibility

Currently, the most compatible mobile operating systems are undoubtedly HarmonyOS and EMUI. Since the global version of the GT Runner 2 runs on EMUI, this ensures that its features are nearly perfectly transferred to other Android phones. The only thing to note is that, due to restrictions on background app management imposed by other phone brands, you’ll need to manually enable settings such as “Background Protection” and “Ignore Battery Optimization.” When used with iOS, a small number of features may be limited, but overall, it still delivers one of the best smartwatch experiences outside the Apple Watch ecosystem. If you can accept that trade-off, it offers even more comprehensive sports tracking than most smartwatches, including the Apple Watch series.

Hassle-Free Wearing

Finally, the wearing experience merits discussion. For a watch with such impressive performance, the weight is just 43 grams on the wrist (measured with the default strap)—clearly designed to be lightweight for running.

At the same time, the default AirDry Woven Strap is truly exceptional; it is the most skin-friendly strap encountered. The strap quickly wicks away moisture after a run or even a swim, keeping the wrist dry and cool. It offers greater comfort than any sports silicone strap previously used. The reviewer’s wrist skin is particularly sensitive to sweat, and rashes often resulted from straps with poor breathability. The GT Runner 2’s strap has completely resolved this issue.

Conclusion

Personally, it is unlikely that this watch will need replacement for several years (mainly for running and hiking). As a powerful, smart running companion, no notable shortcomings can be identified on the smartwatch. A different watch might be chosen for aesthetic reasons or to match my outfit. But in terms of battery life and location tracking, the GT Runner 2’s current performance is difficult to surpass.

Its pinpoint dual-band satellite positioning, comprehensive training ecosystem, and marathon-focused features make it a compelling alternative to all established pro-lineups. Battery life comfortably exceeds a week under regular training loads, and the lightweight, breathable design ensures all-day comfort even for runners with sensitive skin. While iOS users may encounter minor feature limitations, the overall package remains one of the most polished and capable sports wearables on the market today. If you’re serious about improving your running performance without compromising on smartwatch functionality, the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2 is an easy recommendation.

The post New Reebok Stride Smartwatch Packs AMOLED, GPS, and Bluetooth Calling at $99 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Reebok has released the Rush smartwatch in the US, targeting budget-conscious consumers seeking basic fitness tracking without premium pricing. Priced at $69.99, it undercuts the company’s Stride model by using lower-cost components while maintaining essential functionality.

The Rush sports a 1.39-inch LCD touchscreen at 360 × 360 resolution, replacing the Stride’s AMOLED display to reduce manufacturing costs. The device supports over 80 sport modes, including running, cycling, and yoga, with assisted GPS leveraging smartphone connectivity for location tracking.

IP68 water resistance protects against rain and splashes but not swimming. The 300mAh battery delivers up to 10 days of usage with quick charging support, though actual battery life depends on usage patterns.

The 46 × 46 × 11 mm plastic case weighs 47 grams and accepts interchangeable sport bands. Users can select from over 100 watch faces for personalization. Onboard sensors include heart rate, SpO₂, G-sensor, touch panel, and vibration motor.

Three color options are available: Midnight Steel, Spectre Red, and Victory Gold. The Rush is now listed on Reebok’s US website as the company’s most affordable smartwatch offering.

The Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 smartwatch has appeared in a leaked product listing from a European retailer, revealing its design and specifications before the official launch. Rumors about the device started in 2025, and it was later referenced in the code of a Zepp app update earlier in 2026.

The latest leak came from an Italian retailer called Epto, where the watch briefly appeared before the listing was removed. The product page shows that the T-Rex Ultra 2 has a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness. Some earlier reports suggested a MicroLED display, but the listing confirms it’s AMOLED. The watch measures 51 mm wide and uses a titanium casing with a sapphire crystal protecting the screen.

The smartwatch focuses on outdoor and navigation features. It supports six satellite positioning systems and dual-band GPS for better accuracy. Color maps come preloaded, and you can plan routes directly on the watch. It can search for points of interest and automatically reroute you if you go off the planned path. The device includes a dual-color flashlight to help you see in low light and stay visible. It also has a built-in barometer.

Battery life goes up to 30 days with typical use, or about seven days when GPS is actively used. The watch has a 10 ATM water resistance rating, making it good for swimming and other water activities. In Europe, users will get contactless payment support through Zepp Pay.

At the time of the leak, the Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 was listed for €512.90, and customers appeared to be able to pre-order it. The listing has since been removed, and Zepp Health has not yet announced an official release date.

Rogbid has introduced the Model R3, its new flagship Android smartwatch with built-in 4G calling designed to deliver a smartphone-like experience on the wrist. The smartwatch is priced at $99.99 and comes in two finishes: Nova Gold and Aether Black.

Rogbid Model R3 Specifications

The Model R3 comes with full Android OS and supports independent 4G connectivity through a built-in SIM slot. It covers global frequency bands and allows users to make calls, send texts, stream content, and download apps directly to the watch.

The watch includes 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, giving it the capacity to run popular apps such as TikTok, Netflix, and more via its built-in app store.

The device features a 1.65-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 x 480 pixels. Rogbid has used Panda Glass to enhance durability and scratch resistance.

The screen is surrounded by ultra-thin bezels, keeping the overall body compact at 46mm. It also features a 5MP slide-out camera that supports 190° rotation, allowing for video calls, photography, and face unlock while staying hidden when not in use.

Rogbid has packed the Model R3 with useful features, including an infrared remote for appliance control, real-time GPS with a geomagnetic compass, and dual-mode operation that switches between Android and Bluetooth modes to save battery.

Health tracking features include 24-hour heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level tracking, sleep analysis, hydration and medication reminders, and multi-sport workout modes.

The watch is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance and features a large 1100mAh battery. According to the company, it can last up to 10 days in Bluetooth mode and recharges fully in one hour.

Smartwatches that claim to measure blood sugar without needles are once again under scrutiny, this time from Germany’s Federal Network Agency. In its latest market surveillance report, the regulator confirmed that several devices sold in 2025 advertised blood glucose tracking despite having no technical ability to measure it, which is a practice officials say poses real risks to consumers.

According to the agency, inspections carried out over the year uncovered problems across roughly 7.7 million electronic products. Many of the violations were procedural, such as missing CE markings or incomplete German-language documentation. Others, however, went far beyond paperwork. Among the most concerning findings were smartwatches that simulate blood sugar readings using unrelated sensors or estimated values, while presenting the results as genuine health data.

Why blood sugar tracking on smartwatches is misleading

Industry experts have been clear for years: accurate blood glucose monitoring requires either invasive testing or an external continuous glucose monitor (CGM). No standalone smartwatch can currently deliver reliable readings on its own. Despite this, low-cost models sold mainly through online marketplaces continue to market the feature aggressively, often targeting people with diabetes.

In at least some cases, the consequences could be serious. A previously published review of the Kospet iHeal 6 showed that its so-called glucose readings varied sharply from real measurements, sometimes enough to influence medication decisions. Regulators warn that relying on such data could lead users to delay insulin, overcorrect their dosage, or ignore warning signs altogether.

The scope of the issue remains significant. The agency flagged 1,266 online listings suspected of non-compliance. While this figure represents an 11.2% decline compared to the previous year, the products involved still accounted for an estimated five million units sold. Smartwatches were the most common offenders, not only for false health claims but also for violations of Germany’s Radio Equipment Act.

Offline inspections revealed similar problems. Of 2,400 device models checked at retail, 58% failed to meet regulatory standards, affecting around 1.9 million units. Most issues were administrative, though some products were found to emit excessive electromagnetic interference.

Customs authorities also stepped up enforcement, blocking 359,000 non-compliant devices at the border after examining more than 8,200 shipments.

For regulators, the message is straightforward: health claims must be backed by real technology. For consumers, Germany’s warning is a reminder that if a smartwatch promises needle-free blood sugar tracking, skepticism is not just reasonable, it’s necessary.

Smartwatches have become an extension of our smartphones, buzzing constantly with notifications, reminders, and alerts. While they started as health companions, many now feel more like distractions strapped to our wrists. This is where smart rings enter the conversation. Compact, discreet, and almost invisible, smart rings promise to track your health without demanding attention. But the real question is whether these smart rings can replace smartwatches?

Why are smart rings gaining attention?

The biggest appeal of smart rings is how unintrusive they are. Unlike smartwatches with glowing displays and constant taps, rings are designed to sit quietly in the background. They focus almost entirely on health metrics like sleep tracking, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature trends, and recovery insights.

This passive approach makes smart rings far less distracting. There are no notifications pulling you out of meetings, workouts, or conversations. For users who only care about health data and not quick replies or app alerts, this is a refreshing change.

Another major advantage is comfort. Smart rings are lightweight, unobtrusive, and easy to wear 24/7. Many people remove their smartwatches at night due to bulk or discomfort, which impacts sleep tracking accuracy. On the other hand, these smart rings are barely noticeable during sleep, making them better suited for continuous health monitoring.

Battery life is another strong point. While most smartwatches need daily or two-day charging, smart rings can last anywhere from 4 to 7 days. More recent smartwatches and some smartwatches with lighter operating systems do offer better endurance, but the less frequent charging on the rings makes it more convenient.

Seamless health tracking

Smart rings are increasingly positioning themselves as pure health wearables. Removing screens helps shift the focus back to long-term wellness rather than short-term engagement. Metrics like sleep quality, readiness scores, stress levels, and recovery are presented through companion apps rather than active alerts. This delayed feedback can be useful to users, who can review insights when it suits them. For people experiencing digital fatigue, the reduced relationship with technology is a big selling point.

What are the cons?

Despite the various advantages, smart rings are still not perfect replacements. The most obvious limitation is lack of a display. If you rely on your smartwatch for navigation, quick message replies, music controls, or timers, a ring simply can’t replace that functionality. Many smart wearables users buy these gadgets for the added functionality.

Fitness tracking is another mixed bag. While rings excel at sleep and recovery data, they are generally less accurate for activities like weight training, cycling, or complex workouts where motion tracking matters. Smartwatches, with their larger sensors and GPS capabilities, are still ahead.

There’s also the issue of fit and sizing. Rings must be sized precisely, and factors like swelling or temperature changes can affect comfort. Unlike watches, you can’t just loosen a strap mid-day. Even the pricing is a big factor that plays into choosing between smart rings and smartwatches. Premium smart rings often cost as much as mid-range smartwatches, sometimes with subscription fees layered on top. This makes the decision less obvious for budget-conscious buyers.

Can smart rings truly replace smartwatches?

Rather than fully replacing smartwatches, smart rings may end up complementing them. It can only serve as a true replacement for a specific type of user. If your smartwatch feels more distracting than helpful, a smart ring could be a better long-term health companion. But for power users who depend on real-time feedback, apps, and workouts, smartwatches still hold the upper hand. Looking ahead to 2026, smart rings are likely to become smarter, more accurate, and more mainstream. So the dynamic could be shifting sooner than expected.

Rogbid has launched the Z10 smartwatch on Kickstarter, positioning it as a high-end wearable with a full ceramic design, independent 4G connectivity, dual cameras, and deep health-tracking capabilities. The crowdfunding campaign is now live, with super early bird pricing starting at $199.

Rogbid Z10 Specifications

The Z10 features a unibody ceramic case crafted using Nano-crystalline Ceramic technology. Rogbid uses a 5-axis CNC process followed by 168 hours of high-temperature sintering and over 300 rounds of diamond-grade polishing. The final result is a scratch-resistant, gem-like finish rated at 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. The case back uses surgical-grade steel made using Powder Metallurgy, which helps prevent skin irritation during all-day wear.

The smartwatch ships with two interchangeable straps: a fluoroelastomer strap for daily comfort and a calfskin leather option with hand-stitched detailing. The body follows an ergonomic Cassini Oval curve for a better wrist fit.

The watch includes a 1.8-inch 60Hz AMOLED screen with 368×448 resolution and 1000 nits of peak brightness. It also supports dual HD cameras: a 5MP front camera for video calls and fast facial recognition, and an 8MP side camera for photos, QR scanning, and quick actions. Rogbid uses a custom LDS antenna to maintain stable GPS and wireless signals.

Z10 is powered by a dual-chip system: the Unisoc SC9832 handles Android-based 4G tasks, while the Par2822 manages Sports Mode. In 4G Mode, the watch supports independent calling and texting with a nano SIM card and runs for up to 2 days. Sports Mode extends battery life to 7-10 days and activates continuous heart rate, blood oxygen, and glucose-linked activity tracking.

A new Amazfit smartwatch might be closer than anyone expected. A device from Zepp Health has quietly popped up in Malaysia’s SIRIM certification database, and while the listing is light on details, these filings usually show up only when a product is getting close to launch.

The model number is a plain and cryptic A2557, described only as a “Smart Watch” and certified on November 25. No product photos, no specs, no obvious hints — just the kind of barebones paperwork that tends to surface a few weeks before Amazfit puts out a press release.

If history is anything to go by, we won’t be waiting long. The Active 2 lineup, the Bip 6, the Balance 2, and even the latest T-Rex 3 Pro all went through SIRIM first, typically about a month before they actually hit stores. That track record creates a pretty reasonable timeline: late 2025 at the earliest, maybe early 2026 if things move slowly.

The big question is what family this mystery watch belongs to. Amazfit has been pumping out releases this year, but a few lines have been suspiciously quiet. The rugged Falcon and Cheetah series, for example, haven’t had updates in a while — and fans of those product lines have been hoping for fresh hardware. On the flip side, Zepp Health could be prepping something entirely new to slot into its expanding lineup.

For now, all we know is that another Amazfit wearable is officially in the pipeline — and companies don’t usually certify products just for fun. With the way this year has gone, it’s clear Amazfit isn’t planning to slow down any time soon.

Bottom line: a new smartwatch is coming — we just don’t know what kind yet. But half the fun is guessing, right?
