The bar is getting higher for smartwatch manufacturers. Nowadays, even the cheapest models are capable of doing things that were exclusive to more expensive models not too long ago.
The offer we bring you today from Decathlon is a prime example. It’s a smartwatch from the brand MyKronoz that you can get for less than 30 euros; and despite that, it boasts features like phone calls and health tracking.
In essence, there are few excuses left to buy a ‘dumb’ watch when you can get one for that amount of money that connects to your phone and helps you not only with exercising but also staying connected with your apps and calls.
Specifically, the offer is for the MyKronoz ZeRound 3 Lite, priced at 29.95 euros at Decathlon. The offer is available only through the official website, not in stores; in fact, the device isn’t sold directly through Decathlon but through the distributor Innov8 Iberia, which exclusively provides home deliveries. So, there’s no store pickup or returns at Decathlon stores, which is a downside but shouldn’t matter if you just want the watch delivered to your home.
The ZeRound 3 Lite is a smartwatch with a 1.22-inch screen that stands out for its integrated features. The most striking one is the full connectivity with your Android (or iPhone) phone, allowing you to receive app notifications like WhatsApp on the watch. Thanks to the built-in speaker and microphone, you can also make and receive phone calls via Bluetooth. This means you don’t have to take your phone out of your pocket or bag to read messages or answer calls. It’s also compatible with Google and Apple voice assistants.
In terms of health, the most notable function is the heart rate monitor and activity tracking, ideal for recording your exercises. Among these exercises could be swimming, as it boasts an IP67 water resistance rating. It can also monitor sleep, calories, and steps. The battery lasts up to 3 days in standby mode.
