[Ipg-smz] Best simple smartwatch?

[Richard Santalesa]

Awhile back I got a $30 Chinese Fitbit knockoff on Amazon … nothing fancy… but ties to my phone via an “adequate” Wearfit app.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GR2Y26/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8 <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GR2Y26/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1> &psc=1

I got a Fitbit Versa for Christmas. It's OK, I guess. Does what you want, for $149.

There’s now any number of watches from the Fossil Group (which has included Misfit for a few years now) that should do all this. Several of them don’t so much have easy-to-read displays as they have actual hands!
