I thought this $80 smartwatch would be terrible, but I was wrong

When shopping for a new smartwatch, you have a pretty general idea of how much you need to spend to get something of good quality. Whether you’re looking at one of the best smartwatches from Google, Samsung, OnePlus, Garmin, or any other major brand, spending anywhere from $250 to $400 is about the norm.

Then there are the extremes on either end of that range. Samsung showed us what happens when it goes all out and creates the most rugged and feature-rich watch possible. The result was the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and while extremely capable, the $650 price tag is as prohibitive as the watch is powerful. But what about the other end of the spectrum? That’s where a watch like the Amazfit Bip 6 comes into play.
