Verdict
The LifeBee Smartwatch is a minimalist watch with a responsive 1.3-inch screen, a 10-day battery and nine sports modes, but its features are basic.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Lifebee Smartwatch

  • Excellent battery life, often lasting 7 to 10 days on a single charge
  • Strong value for money, offering core fitness tracking features at a low price point
  • IP68 waterproof rating allows for use during swimming and bathing
  • Lightweight and comfortable design, with a bright and clear display
  • Easy initial setup and syncing with iOS and Android devices
  • Useful basic features including sleep monitoring, heart rate tracking, and multi-sport modes

What we don't like about Lifebee Smartwatch

  • The companion mobile app (NFit or VeryFitPro) is often described as basic and unintuitive
  • Slow 'wrist sense' response, sometimes taking several seconds for the screen to light up
  • Limited customisation options for watch faces and clock screens
  • Heart rate tracking can be inconsistent or laggy compared to high-end devices
  • Lacks advanced features such as built-in GPS, blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, or NFC for payments
  • Questionable long-term durability, with some users reporting hardware failures after a few months

Verdict

The Lifebee Smartwatch (specifically the popular ID205L model) is a budget-friendly fitness tracker featuring a 1.3-inch TFT LCD color touchscreen and an IP68 waterproof rating suitable for swimming. Its core hardware includes a heart rate sensor and an accelerometer to support features like sleep monitoring, sedentary alerts, and 9 to 11 different sport modes. A standout pro is its impressive battery life, which lasts 8 to 10 days on a single 2.5-hour charge, all within a lightweight 39g aluminum alloy and plastic frame compatible with both iOS and Android. However, it lacks built-in GPS—relying instead on a connected smartphone—and some users report that the 'wrist sense' screen activation can be slow, while the companion app offers limited advanced customization compared to premium alternatives.
