Wyze Unveils a $20 Smartwatch That Controls Smart Home Devices, Tracks Health | PCMag [pcmag.com]
Top Comments
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.
**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.

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:

We have a pulse oximeter which is very accurate. The wyze band isn't as fast or accurate but it's fairly close after a couple seconds. We've tried out a few different fitness bands and for the money the wyze band is good. It can't compete with android/ios watches for sure.
The watch isn't for me, I'd probably prefer a smart watch with android or something but the price is good. Definitely a good option for somebody without any device yet.

AmazFit Bip: ~$70 (I've seen it on Slickdeals drop below $50 though)
Display: 1.28". Transflective (this means it can be easily read in sunlight) TFT LCD. Gorilla Glass 3.
Waterproof: IP68 rating. (I've taken showers and baths with this on with no problem whatsoever.)
Battery: 190mAH. ~one month battery life without GPS running constantly or 22 hours with GPS running constantly
Charging time: 2.5 hours
Bluetooth 4.0
Sensors: PPG heart rate sensor, Triaxial acceleration sensor, Geomagnetic sensor, Air pressure sensor
Wyze Watch: ~$20
Display: 1.4" (smaller) or 1.75" (larger). TFT LCD. Not sure what material it is made of.
Waterproof: IP68 rating
Battery: 260mAH (small, 14 days). 300mAH (large, 9 days).
Charging time: 2.5 hours
Bluetooth 5.0
Sensors: PPG Heart Rate Sensor, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Acceleration Sensor
Edit: I guess AmazFit also released the Bip U (~$60 at amazon) earlier this year, which the Wyze Watch looks like a better comparison to. 9 days battery life, 1.4" screen. A review of the Bip U [gsmarena.com] mentions that the Bip U loses the easy-to-read in sunlight transflective display though, so I'm guessing the Wyze Watch doesn't have it either.
