[Ipg-smz] Best simple smartwatch?

[Perlow, Jason]

Well, I would have to say if you want a less expensive Apple Watch, you can
always get one from the Apple Outlet which is their refurb store. That's
how I bought the first one that actually saved my life.

They have a Series 2 now for $250. I don't see how you are going to find
anything else out there that is more functional or cost less.That's fully
compatible with WatchOS 5 which is the latest.

Obviously, you need an iPhone, not an Android, to use with it.
