Price is awesome!
No microphone or speaker is disappointing (no phone calls, sounds, AI assistants, voice-controlled smart home devices, etc).
Bluetooth - the launch page on their site says it is 5.0, but their FCC filing says it is only 4.0 and that all tests also showed it functioning in the 2Mbps range which is only 4.0 (see Section 4 "General Description of EUT - Product Feature and Specification" section on page 6 of 61 of the "Radio Test Report FCC ID: 2AUIU-WWTCH1"). I'm guessing the 5.0 on their website is actually a typo (They had several others when the page first posted) or they would've updated the FCC filing and run new tests. Screenshots of FCC filing on their forum here: https://forums.wyzecam.com/t/wyze...erofchoice (Why this matters: If it's 4.0 that means it isn't classified as an IOT device, the range is way shorter, it burns battery faster, it's slower, and uses more resources than a 5.0 device would). Wyze has been asked for clarification on the discrepancy, but there was no answer as of this writing so far.
**EDIT 12/21/20 18:30: Wyze employees have affirmed that the Bluetooth for these watches is indeed 5.0, and that the earlier FCC submission listing and testing at 4.0 will be updated. Wyze made a great decision to make that upgrade! It is a significant positive.
No NFC.
Will allow you to use Wyze shortcuts quickly (can't unlock the Wyze lock with it though)
No API yet (ie: can't connect to Sleep as Android or others), but in a recent AMA they said they are working on releasing API's for their devices in the future.
Works with Google Fit and Apple Health
Has an oximeter! But you can only check it manually (not passively/automatically) and only once every 5 minutes at most (confirmed by Wyze in the forum as making this decision to prevent us from draining the battery).
Passive monitoring for heart rate is limited to once every 5 minutes. You can't set it to check more or less frequently (confirmed by Wyze). They said they made the decision to take this choice away from us (to make sure we can't complain about battery life). It will use this to do sleep monitoring.
No local storage.
Functionality is limited when not connected directly to a phone, but it will still do some things (track heart rate, use oximeter, tell time, alarms, etc).
Water resistant (IP68) = effective for limited continuous submersion underwater (most swimming pools), but not high-pressure or for a long time (scuba diving or really deep pools).
Can customize the display, including using pictures
OS = RTOS (confirmed by Wyze)


In short, it's more of a basic fitness band with a big square display, rather than what is normally considered a standard "smartwatch" nowadays. If they open up the API to third parties (in the AMA they said they working on API for their devices), then you could possibly make a little more use out of some of its features (the passive tracking, etc). Still, it is an amazing price, and it looks really nice. This is a great item for some people, and not quite there for others. It totally depends on what you want to use it for, and your own preferences. I'm just posting the FAQ's many people want to know to help make a better personal decision for yourself.

No, that's been widely debunked. In fact, the company is refreshingly transparent on some stuff. Many of the devs and product managers will respond directly. There have been a few instances where people have reported some odd network traffic and Wyze has either fixed it or explained it. Most other companies wouldn't even acknowledge the problem, much less respond to it. Wyze isn't perfect, but they do pack a lot of value for such a small price.

This Watch looks interesting but I'm hoping they'll provide more info. It looks like there's no Alexa integration - they had this on the Wyze Band but it was awkward. Also, I'd like to see how much control there is over watch face design and the ability to control/filter notifications. It looks like this is going to be tightly bundled with other stuff controlled via the Wyze app, which could be ok, but one of the major smart home features of that app currently has a huge hole: sensors. Wyze pulled their current lineup of sensors and they've yet to release a replacement. (They worked great for me but other had problems).

Also, they're hyping the O2 saturation monitoring but this is something with unproven accuracy on other devices. Oximetry using a wrist-based sensor is notoriously inaccurate, even on machines designed specifically for this purpose. Unlike the fingertip-based sensors which rely on 2 specific bands of light passing through the skin, the wrist-based sensors rely on light reflecting off the skin, requiring a whole different type of technology. Many no-name, bargain basement watches claim to have built in oximetry (and even blood pressure), but they are wildly inaccurate and unfit for any useful purpose. Also, there's a huge concern that these devices might be accurate in the 90-100 range, which is mostly irrelevant, while being inaccurate in the 70-90% range where it's crucial. Maybe Wyze figured it out, but I'd like to see some details. More info:

It looks like the Wyze isn't shiping until January (and will probably be +$5-7 shipping). The $30 Amazfit Band 5 seems like the one to beat and it's available now:

Quote from RDubU :
Was thinking of getting the Wyze Band. Just want something to track steps and health stuff (Heart Rate etc) and also see who's calling if not directly by phone. Also want to see email, texts, facebook notifications etc. How is the Wyze Band for all the above or should I wait for the Wyze Watch?
Depends, wyze band has what looks like the same features as the watch minus the oximeter and of course having a smaller screen.

If you want a larger screen (see more text/message info) and want an oximeter then wait. I have the band and it works fine. Initially it had problems staying connected but after several updates it's working ok now.

Not sure if the band has bluetooth 5.0 but the watch does and 5.0 has better energy efficiency than prior versions.

Pretty good deal if you just want reminders on your watch and a no frills exercise watch for heart rate and O2 sensor. You can view but not send messages with the watch. it's kind of like a earlier gen Fitbit, But for $20 that seems like a decent deal.

Seems like they come out with something new every week, maybe the Wyze snow blower is next. Lol.

Would you recommend
It depends on what you want it for. It's an awesome deal for some, and not good enough for others. I was just kidding major points most people want to be aware of so they know if it's good for them.

If you just want to see notifications, track sleep, heart rate, oxygen levels, workouts, alarm (vibration I assume?), etc. And don't care about music/sounds on it, using it for phone calls, NFC payments, etc, then it's a really, really awesome deal with an amazing price. Especially if you have other Wyze devices you want to control from your wrist (I have over 50).

But if you want any of the stuff it doesn't have, then maybe pass on it.

Wyze band has Alexa, so it has a mic. But the health tracking (heart rate, steps, sleep) are quite inaccurate from what I know. Hopefully this one is better, but who knows. One would think this would be more expensive given the much bigger screen than the band

I hope I can use it on an Apple iPhone X s - I am mainly hoping it will get iOS texts though, [besides the other features listed in the specs]

If the 9 day battery life is even close to accurate, it worth $25 as a camping watch.

Yes--this is a highly sought-after feature even in apps like Google Fit

Seems like a great value with all the features, I agree.
