Third-party reviews

What customers like about Noise HRX Bounce

  • Excellent value for money for a budget-friendly calling watch

  • Bright 1.39-inch display that remains clear in outdoor conditions
  • Good Bluetooth calling performance with clear speaker quality

What customers don't like about Noise HRX Bounce

  • Inconsistent battery life; some users report it lasting only 1 day despite claims of 7 days
  • GPS tracking can be unreliable or inaccurate during workouts
  • Noticeable bezels around the circular display
  • Display resolution (240x240) can appear slightly pixelated to some users
  • Non-functional crown button (purely aesthetic)
  • Heart rate and SpO2 monitoring may occasionally show hit-or-miss readings

Verdict

The Noise HRX Bounce is a budget-friendly circular smartwatch featuring a 1.39-inch TFT display with a 240x240 pixel resolution and 450 nits of brightness. Co-designed with HRX, it includes a metallic bezel, IP67 water resistance, and a 230mAh battery providing up to 7 days of life. Key pros include functional Bluetooth calling with a built-in speaker and microphone, a comprehensive health suite (SpO2, 24/7 heart rate, and sleep tracking), over 100 sports modes, and integrated mini-games. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS, the absence of an Always-On Display, and a lower-resolution TFT panel compared to AMOLED alternatives.
