Those who have managed to get their hands on the smartwatch in the past when it has been part of Aldi’s Special Buys have been hugely impressed with how well it works.
‘Bought it mainly as a watch, therefore I am not to disappointed about all the “fun” features, which really can only be guidelines, but never taken to seriously, especially Blood Pressure and Pulse,’ one reviewer posted on Product Review.

Another person highlighted that it’s a ‘good basic watch for the price’.
‘Wasn’t expecting much for the price. Thought it would be more a kids toy,’ one reviewer wrote.
‘My needs are fairly simple, notifications, time and music controls. It does all this.’
Similar smartwatches from the likes of Fitbit and Garmin often cost upwards of $200.
The watch is part of Aldi’s tech and entertainment Special Buys range, which launches next week; there are also wireless earbuds and a Bluetooth speaker
