First Look At The $70 Blackview X2 Smartwatch

Starting at $399, I wouldn't call the Apple Watch 5 cheap, despite being one of the cheapest things you can buy from Apple. It's a lot to drop on a watch, especially if it's something that you mostly just glance at to get the time.

So, if you are mulling over getting a smartwatch, and you're not really a watch person, then spending under $100 might be easier to stomach.

$70 at Blackview

It's an all-round nice, albeit basic smartwatch. It doesn't have the app ecosystem or the advanced features of something like the Apple Watch, but this is a fraction of the price. If you're someone who doesn't feel like overspending on a watch, this is a great way to get into smartwatches. It's also great for those looking for a low-cost fitness tracker for the gym or outdoor pursuits that damage a more expensive timepiece.
