Haylou Watch 4: Cheap smartwatch with GPS launches for just $49

The manufacturer Haylou may be somewhat familiar to some of our readers. With the Haylou Watch 4, the brand now offers another rather inexpensive smartwatch, but there's a major limitation. The wearable is not directly available in many countries, but has to be imported via Chinese marketplaces like Aliexpress. The main selling point of the Haylou Watch 4 is likely the low price. It currently retails for $49 including free shipping, but deliveries will take around two weeks.

Despite the wallet-friendly price, the watch is equipped with a GPS module, which should enable precise tracking of certain outdoor actives and workouts, such as running. In combination with the usual optical sensors for heart rate measurement, the Haylou can be used to analyze the performance and also measure stress levels. Sleep tracking and many other useful features are also advertised.

In addition, the watch is equipped with a 1.93-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 320 x 380 pixels. There’s some protection against water and dust thanks to an IP68 certification, but the watch should not be used for snorkeling. Lastly, the Haylou Watch 4 has a typical battery life of up to seven days and sports a rotating crown, which is a well-known feature that's also found in all Apple Watch models.
