Interesting.

I purchased 2 for friends. The 2" face is just the right size.

From what I gathered, this connects to your smart phone via Bluetooth.

I wonder what the Bluetooth connectivity range is. If I go jogging on the local junior high school's 1/4 mile running track, I usually set my phone down by a bench rather than carry it.

...

Internets tells me:

The typical range for Bluetooth devices is up to 10 meters (33 feet), but with newer versions like Bluetooth 5.0, the range can extend to up to 100 meters (328 feet) under ideal conditions.

So as to whether or not it would work for my track runs, the answer appears to be a solid "maybe".

Leave the phone in the middle of the field.

Description for the watch says "Bluetooth 5.3", so it appears that it would cover the dimensions of the track if I left it on a bench halfway up the straight way.

My apple watch will record workouts w/o the phone. It then connects to the phone when I get near it.

Maybe this does too?

$22! Sounds like a newer model is about to come out...?

You keep friends that own Androids?

I used an Apple II back in 1980, but have been strictly Windows and Android since. I was never much of an Apple fan, although I have owned the stock in the past.

I figure for $20 for the above mentioned watch is pretty cheap. The band is basic rubber, but the watch is decent. Face it, most people are not power users of smart watches, but use them for the occasional convenience. The primary is either a phone, tablet or laptop. The 2" size makes it easier to read and the cost is low investment.

I used to set up and repair PC's in the schools.

Today I use a Mac Air for that reason. I no longer have to 'fix' computers!

It's a great architecture! The iPhone and Mac work together seamlessly. Photos taken on the iPhone automatically land on the Mac.

The Apple Watch is in reality a medical device. Takes my O2 and EKG readings. Asks me if I want to record the walk/run/workout I'm on if I forget to turn it on. I'm probably not using either to it's full potential!

It also keeps time!
