I am talking the Smart Watches that are cheap in the $40 or lower. Does anybody have any experience? I am looking for a watch that has a pedometer and is able to sync to a Iphone to let me know when a call comes in. I have a Fitbit, but I am on my fourth one, and it's no longer covered under warranty and I do not want another one.

Sorry, just have experience with the more mid-range ones (Pebbles). I've seen the really cheap ones, but have always wondered just how well they'd behave with an iPhone and how reliable they'd be. The original Pebble is just $99 and you can find them on sale at times- I'd caution against a used one though, the early ones from the Kickstarter days (i.e., the one I still have but don't wear since I got a Pebble Time) have an intermittent issue with the display driver. I imagine the remaining stock of them will be discounted further once the Pebble 2 comes out early next year.

My wife just put one on for the dust time that was $20 we'll see.

My father has been using one for a while sbd has worked fine. Amazon, woot and gearbest have them.

Good luck

Probably a little over your budget, even though older ones are cheap. My Android Wear watch (mine is a Moto 360) has been nice, but a crappy pedometer. My Fitbit was much better, but the sale price should be considered a rental charge for the duration of the warranty. I don't know anyone who has gotten a year out of a single wristwatch Fitbit.

I tried the Pebble Time and an Asian import fitbit knockoff. Both worked just fine, but weren't for me. Remembering to charge was the worst for me.

Damn iWatch 2 is waterproof so you can swim with it, so I'll be upgrading soon. Bastards.
