Unlike the Fitbit, this popular smartwatch tracks blood pressure — and it's down to $20

No one can argue that the Apple Watch is the standard-bearer among wearables. Every smartwatch and fitness tracker is compared with it, for better or worse. Still, not everyone wants to fork over $200 or more to get one, and a lot of people just don't use Apple products. And, sure, there are Android smartwatches, but they're equally expensive. So ... what to do? Enter the Popglory. It's loaded with features and your wallet will love it, especially since it's only $20 right now.

Why is this a good deal?

This is an immensely popular device that shares a lot of features with the Apple Watch — but for (quite literally) a fraction of the cost. Even the Apple Watch SE, the most bare-bones model you can buy, starts at $109 on sale. The Popglory is one fifth of that. Meanwhile, Fitbit's most basic tracker, the Inspire 2, is on sale for $63.

Why do I need this?

There are a lot of budget smartwatches on the market, but most lack the quality that would make them worth the investment. Shoppers say that's not the case with the Popglory. It has more than 11,000 five-star reviews, with customers citing the accuracy of its vital measurements and overall functionality.

Of course, it tracks things including calories burned, steps walked, heart rate and even how well you slept — you know, all the smartwatch metrics you expect. You can even fine-tune its tracking depending on what activity you're doing: There are seven different sports modes, including skipping and badminton. Put that in your shuttlecock and smoke it!

If you sit too long, the Popglory will remind you to stand up and move around, and there are even buttons to control your music. Compared with many of the other smartwatches I've seen at this price point, the Popglory commands much better reviews, and has a much wider range of functions — not to mention that it's available in seven cool colors.

What reviewers say

"The Popglory watch does more than any current Fitbit watch," one user said. "I had a Fitbit which took blood pressure. Now the Fitbits, for some reason, do not take blood pressure. I have had the Popglory in to my doctor and I had the same blood pressure within two points as my doctor got. That is fantastic."

Even more users have commented on its hefty runtime. "I bought this last year and I love it so much. It is pretty customizable and accurate. I love the battery life on it. Also, you charge for one hour and it stays charged for about three days!" Echoed another fan: "Great connection, superb battery life."

"I’m loving this smartwatch. It isn’t huge. Great selection of faces to choose from. App seems to work great so far. I can’t sleep with a watch on, so unsure on sleep feature. Seems to be holding battery life good," one five-star reviewer said. "Has a feature to tell you to get up and get active — who doesn’t need that? I love it. Price is amazing. Super quality feel with face, band and charger! Very pleased with purchase!"

"I really like the sleep tracker on this watch and the quality is very good," a final wearer said. "The only downside is that it's not waterproof, but for the price I can't complain."
