No.1 D7 Smartwatch – this smartwatch by No.1 is one of the best circular Android smartwatch under $100 dollars. This smartwatch has a stainless steel body with a gear type bezel. The No.1 D7 has a 1.3” inch screen with good display resolution of 360 x 360 pixels, so far I love the display quality, it is far more better compared to other smartwatches in its price ranger. Running MTK6572 processor and with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB if internal memory, the smartwatch is fast and smooth, no lag at all, I also like the UI of the D7, it is easy to navigate and set if you want to a certain options in particular. It also includes pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep monitoring. Connectivity includes WIFI, Bluetooth, and 3G functionality.

DM368 3G Smartwatch – here is another cool looking smartwatch, I love the bezel of this one somewhat similar to the Gear S3, the stainless steel bezel do have a tick marks adding cool finish to the sporty look of the DM368, it doesn’t have replaceable strap as the antenna is embedded in the sport silicon strap.

The DM368 screen is good with 1.39 inch 400 x 400 pixel screen resolution, it also Super AMOLED which makes it far more better compared to other smartwatch display, plus it is protected by Gorilla Glass screen which we seldom see in it price range. Features heart rate monitor, pedometer, GPS and 3G connecitivity. I think the only drawback with this, is the 512 MB of memory which in our own experienced is slow; it lags especially in UI transition.
