Rogbid, which has released multiple affordable wearables in the past, has just unveiled its new Apex FT GPS smartwatch. It features an advanced dual-band, six-satellite GNSS chipset that claims to offer rapid and accurate global positioning. Whether trekking, trail running, or cycling in different environments, users should benefit from precise route tracking, digital compass functionality, barometric pressure readings, and altitude monitoring. A built-in flashlight with adjustable brightness should be useful for night activities and emergencies.
Durability is a major focus: the device is MIL-STD-810H certified for resistance to shock, heat, cold, and water, alongside 5ATM waterproofing rated for up to 50 meters. Its 670mAh battery supports up to 65 days of standby, 25 days of regular use, and 24 hours in continuous GPS mode, which should ideally cut down the need for frequent charging on extended trips.
On the health and training front, the Apex FT syncs data with Apple Health, Google Fit, and Strava, so users can have a unified platform for monitoring heart rate, calorie burn, and performance metrics. The watch utilizes a 1.43-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 1000 nits peak brightness plus three physical buttons for easy control in any setting. Bluetooth calling and instant messaging notifications are included for everyday utility.
Available in Black and Orange, the Rogbid Apex FT is currently priced at $59.99 at the brand's official store. The overall package looks to be an accessible yet well-equipped option for users seeking a durable training, hiking, or daily smartwatch, which has more adventure-centric features than marketing superlatives, even though the accuracy of the sensors on the Apex FT cannot be validated as of writing.
