A new and affordable smartwatch sports offline maps and doesn’t cost a fortune. The wearable can reportedly be used while swimming and offers a fairly comprehensive array of sensors alongside the usual GPS module.

In addition to the DTG1, the brand DTNO.1 is now selling another affordable smartwatch with an asking price of $74 on Banggood. This price excludes shipping and potential import fees and taxes. According to the manufacturer, the smartwatch is pretty well-equipped and features offline maps, among other things.

This means that maps can be stored directly on the smartwatch, so it’s not necessary to check your phone on hikes or off-grid trips. Unsurprisingly, the wearable also has a built-in GNSS/GPS module for six different navigation standards, so the DTG6 can track the distance covered during workouts like running or cycling. Moreover, the smartwatch meets the requirements for 15 different MIL-STD-810H certifications as well as several internal tests.

The smartwatch is partially made of metal, while the 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which is intended to reduce the likelihood of damage even in tough conditions. Additionally, the watch is promoted with a water resistance up to 3 ATM, which should be enough for regular swimming.

The DTNO.1 DTG6 is further equipped with a barometric altimeter and a compass, and it can also be used as a Bluetooth hands-free device. Heart rate and blood oxygen saturation can be measured via optical sensors, and the advertised battery life is up to 15 days with typical use.
