Do you want a smartwatch but do you think they are way too expensive? Good news! The Action smartwatch is affordable and can even do more than some Apple Watches.
Action smartwatch: better than some Apple Watches
It sounds strange: an Action smartwatch that is better than some Apple Watches. And yet it is so. If you have an older Apple Watch, for example an Apple Watch Series 6, you will miss functions that are on this Action smartwatch.
This Action smartwatch has a body temperature meter and can also track your menstrual cycle, a function that is only available from the Apple Watch Series 8.

Functions
But of course he can do much more. It tracks your heart rate and steps in real time. It also checks your calorie burn and helps you achieve your fitness goals. You can all see messages, conversations and calendar appointments directly on the smartwatch. But of course it must be connected to your iPhone.
Screen
The screen is 1.7 inches, which is the same size as the 41mm Apple Watch Series 9. However, it is an IPS screen and not an OLED screen as is the case with the Apple Watch. An OLED screen is often slightly brighter, more energy efficient and the colors are nicer.

Waterproof
The Action smartwatch also has an iP68 and ATM5 certification. This makes it resistant to rain, sweat and you can even swim with it. Another advantage is that you can use this smartwatch not only on your iPhone. It also works on Android. And that is of course a bonus.
Battery life
Also important to know: the Action smart watch has a 200 mAh battery. That is slightly less than that in the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch Series 9 has a 308 mAh battery. So you have to charge the Action smartwatch more often. You do this by placing it on the supplied charger.
Price
The biggest advantage is of course the price. This smartwatch from Action only costs 29.95 euros, a fraction of the price of an Apple Watch. The latest Apple Watch (the Series 9) costs 449 euros from Apple (but for the best price you should check our Apple Watch Series 9 price comparator). Please note that shipping costs of 4.99 euros will be added for the Action smartwatch.
