The Iron Neo is a new and affordable smartwatch that is said to be waterproof and capable of not only tracking sports activities, but also everyday activity and various health metrics.
Haylou, which may be familiar to attentive readers, now has a new smartwatch on offer in the form of the Iron Neo. Listed at just above $50, the smartwatch is only available as a direct import; shipping is free with an estimated time of 2-3 weeks. Potential buyers should keep in mind that local warranty rights will not apply in the event of a claim.
The watch is equipped with a 1.95-inch, rectangular display with rounded corners and a resolution of 240 x 288. As usual, this is a touchscreen, but this isn't the only input option; there is also a rotating crown and a button on the right side.
According to Haylou, the watch supports heart rate measurement, everyday activity, sleep quality and sleep duration, among other things. A microphone and loudspeaker are on board, so the watch can also be used as a Bluetooth hands-free device. Smartphone camera control and the use of voice assistants are also supported. Furthermore, the watch is advertised as waterproof up to a test pressure of 3 ATM. The installed battery has a capacity of 300 mAh and a specified battery life of around one week under typical use.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
