Zeblaze VIBE 3: A cheap smartwatch with GPS, GLONASS, IP67 certification and a heart-rate monitor

Zeblaze may not be a brand that you are aware of, but the company sells multiple smartwatch series and even a set of TWS earbuds. The latest of the bunch is the VIBE 3 GPS, a refresh of the VIBE 3 that the company released a few years ago. The VIBE 3 GPS resembles many other modern smartwatches and is compatible with Android 4.4 or iOS 9.0 and above through the FunDo Wear app.

Zeblaze has included a 1.3-inch IPS touchscreen display that resolves at 240 x 240 pixels. The display sits within a 50.5 mm case, which is 15.9 mm thick and weighs 56 g. The VIBE 3 GPS is also compatible with 24 mm wide straps and includes a black or blue TPU strap in the box.

The VIBE 3 GPS is IP67 certified and has a 280 mAh battery that Zeblaze promises should yield seven days of battery life in "daily use mode". According to the manufacturer, daily use mode represents heart-rate and sleep monitoring being left on, for reference. However, Zeblaze cuts battery life estimates to just 3:55 hours with GPS switched on.

The smartwatch supports GLONASS too, along with "28 nm low power GPS". The VIBE 3 GPS only supports Bluetooth 4.0, though. The VIBE 3 GPS is available to purchase from AliExpress for US$39.99, where Zeblaze also sells other smartwatches. The company sells on Banggood and Gearbest, too.
