Solar Lite 2: Long-lasting smartwatch with AMOLED display and telephony for $38

Haylou is not entirely unknown, as the company's affordable smartwatches and headphones are also widely available at Amazon. The Solar Lite 2 is a new and cheap smartwatch, available through AliExpress. Total cost is just under $38, including free shipping.

For the low price, buyers will get a generally useful smartwatch, although it is not without limitations. As is typical for very inexpensive models, it lacks a GNSS module. So, the distance covered during jogging or running is estimated according to step count and stride length, which is not accurate. Other advertised health features include heart rate measurement and sleep quality monitoring. How accurate these features are is another question altogether and can only be determined by independent testing.

Notifications can be displayed on the Haylou Solar Lite 2, which can also be used as a Bluetooth hands-free device. This is useful, for example, for triggering the camera in certain scenarios such as group photos. Battery life is specified as around 17 days. The display measures 1.43 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 466 × 466. Lastly, the smartwatch is supposedly waterproof up to a test pressure of 1 ATM, which is not really ideal for swimming.
