Apple Watch clones are cheap, stylish and can do a lot. TechStage takes a look at the Willful Samrtwatch, Xiaomi Amazfit GTS, Amazfit Bip, Fitbit Versa 2 and their alternatives.
The Apple Watch is considered the best smartwatch. It owes this to its pleasing appearance, the high-quality workmanship and above all the high range of functions. Your problem: The current version costs at least 400 Euro and only works with iOS devices.
But there are alternatives. The Willful Smartwatch is very popular on Amazon thanks to its low price and great visual similarity to the Apple Watch. Huami also competes with the Apple group in the wearable sector. The Xiaomi daughter is only about five years old and sold 2018 already most wearables worldwide. It also owes this to its Xiaomi Mi Band series. In our test, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 (test report) and the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 (test report) convince with their strong hardware and the unbeatable price-performance ratio. With the 3 series we complained about the bad localization, the 4 series, on the other hand, does everything right and consequently receives the grade ” Very good” our clear purchase recommendation.
Willful Smartwatch The Willful Smartwatch is the most popular smart watch on Amazon. Depending on the color, it costs between 30 and 40 Euro and offers a lot of features for its low price. This includes tracking the steps taken, the calories burned and the kilometers traveled. It also measures the pulse, sleep and uses the GPS of the smartphone connected via Bluetooth to show a route, for example while running. It also shows incoming messages and calls, controls music and has a flashlight, timer, stopwatch, mobile phone location and breathing trainer.
It looks a lot like the Apple Watch. She is 12 millimeters thick, 35 mm wide and 41 millimeters long. Your 1.3 inch display is with 240 × 240 Pixels nice and sharp, sufficiently bright and offers usable viewing angles. However, the display edge is much too thick, especially on the lower side. Remarkable: Despite its low price it offers an IP 65 certification. You should be able to swim with it without hesitation. Salt water should be avoided.
The bracelet offers a quick-release fastener so that it can be swapped with one hand. It’s made of a soft plastic and feels good on the skin. According to the seller Willfull, the battery should last seven to ten days. In practice, we still get a good five days. It is charged using the charging adapter supplied.

When using the app, you can quickly see why the watch is so cheap. For example, when setting up for the first time, it is not possible to set the unit from feet to centimeters and from pounds to kilograms when specifying your own height and weight. In this case, Google will help with the conversion. The notification function only works with some apps, including Facebook, Instagram, SMS, Messenger and Whatsapp. When it comes to music control, the app gives the user the choice between Spotify, Youtube Music and Google Play Music. If desired, the app exchanges with Google Fit and Strava. Overall, however, the app is okay, if a little confusing. It offers a lot of setting options.
Not surprisingly, the Willful Smartwatch cannot do ten times keep up with such expensive apple watch. Nevertheless, it is just for its low price of 28 to 40 euros worth a recommendation. They are almost identical in construction from other retailers on Amazon and from various China retailers.
Amazfit GTS At the IFA 2019 showed Huami an Apple Watch clone that has it all. The Amazfit GTS is visually very similar to the Apple model, offers very good workmanship with a metal frame, water resistance up to 50 m and a very beautiful, bright and colorful 1, 65 – inch OLED touch display with a resolution of strong 400 × 348 Pixel, which is easy to read even in direct sunlight. The Amazfit GTS even manages to undercut the weight and dimensions of the Apple Watch and surpass the battery life. Huami states ten days here. In practice it is even significantly more days.

Nevertheless, the Amazfit GTS does a very good job both as a fitness and sleep tracker and as a smartwatch. It supports twelve activities, including walking, running, cycling, swimming, climbing and skiing. It also records GPS data and shows the distance covered in the app. The athlete can see his current pulse at any time on the Amazfit GTS display. The display shows incoming messages reliably, the vibration alarm is strong. However, pictures and emojis are left out and the smartphone must also be used to answer.
The Amazfit GTS costs well 85 Euro.
Amazfit Bip The Amazfit Bip is the predecessor of the GTS. It also looks like the Apple Watch, is up to date with 55 Euro but only half as expensive as you Amazfit GTS. For this, your color display solves with 100 × 127 pixels significantly lower, the display is 1, 28 inches also much smaller and therefore the display edges thicker. The housing is made of plastic. The Bip is waterproof and GPS is on board. In terms of battery life, the Amazfit Bip outperforms most competing models. So should the little one 190 – mAh battery the clock 45 Keep going for days. A value that many testers confirm. It also offers many fitness and some smartwatch functions. Users complain about their sometimes poor localization. However, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable, here many buyers can certainly overlook one or the other defect.
Fitbit Versa 2 The Fitbit Versa 2 (test report) and its predecessor Fitbit Versa (test report) largely look like the Apple Watch. In the following we describe the Versa 2, which we recommend if you are interested in buying. It costs about 30 euros more than its predecessor, but offers, among other things, the payment option Fitbit Pay via NFC, more sophisticated fitness options and the much nicer display. This is 1.4 inches tall, loosens 300 × 300 pixels and uses OLED technology, the perfect black level of which is particularly impressive on a smartwatch. Above all, OLED saves the battery, as black pixels do not convert any energy. This lasts for about five to six days with normal use, with an activated Always-On-Display the time is halved. We really like the integration of the voice assistant Alexa, which is activated via the button on the side. Despite the WLAN option, the whole thing only works if the connected smartphone is nearby. The Versa 2 app is very good. We would have only wished for a few more watch faces. The clock only saves one thing locally, which is no longer up to date.
Fitbit offers the option for everyone who wants to leave their smartphone at home while exercising To save MP3 files to the Versa 2. Fitbit does not reveal how big the memory is, but it should be used for 300 Songs are enough. She owns
