  • Basic app functionality that some users find 'mediocre' or 'useless'
  • Inaccurate step counting and sleep tracking in some units
  • Lack of built-in GPS, requiring a connected phone for route tracking

Verdict

The Soundpeats Watch 1 is an affordable fitness-oriented smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch color TFT touch display with a 320x320 resolution and IP68 waterproof rating. It comes equipped with 12 sports modes, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and a 260mAh battery that offers up to 10 days of use on a single 2-hour charge.
