FX SmartWatch Review: A $99 Rugged-Look Smartwatch With Calls, Weather and a Misspelled Bezel

Our verdict

Look closely at the bezel before you buy. FX SmartWatch is a chunky, outdoor-style smartwatch with Bluetooth calls, notifications, weather and health tracking, and a claimed battery life of up to 25 days. For people who want a tough look and basic features, it covers the essentials. But its bezel is printed "Waer Resist", the page gives no water rating, GPS, screen type or app name, and the Amazfit Active 2 starts at the same $99 with GPS and reviews behind it. FX SmartWatch scores 3.2 out of 10, held back by missing specs and value.

The short version

• What it is: a rugged-look smartwatch with calls, notifications and health tracking.
• Price: $99 for one on 6 October 2026, with a five-pack for $285 flagged as the best seller.
• Best trait: a bold outdoor style with call support.
• Biggest drawback: no water rating or GPS stated, at a branded watch's price.
• Our score: 3.2 out of 10.

Pros & cons

The pros cover the look and core features. The cons cover the gaps and the quality signals in the photos.

How it works

FX SmartWatch pairs with your phone over Bluetooth through a companion app. It shows notifications, lets you answer calls through its speaker and microphone, displays weather from your phone, and uses an optical sensor on the back to estimate heart rate and track activity. Six watch-face themes change the look. Battery life depends heavily on how much you use calls and the screen.

1. 01

   Charge and install the app

   Step 1: Charge the watch, then install the companion app the seller names and pair over Bluetooth.

2. 02

   Set up calls and alerts

   Step 2: Allow notifications and connect Bluetooth audio for calls through the watch.

3. 03

   Wear it snugly

   Step 3: Wear it a finger's width above the wrist bone for steadier heart rate readings.

The page title calls it a "Multi-Sport Smartwatch", "Heart Rate Monitoring Smartwatch", "Bluetooth Calls Smartwatch", "Notifications Push Smartwatch" and "Reatl-Time Weather Smartwatch". The six bullets promise a premium sport design, health and sport sensors, six themes, real-time weather, "up to 25 days of battery life (usage dependent)" and Android and iOS compatibility.

What the page leaves out

Water rating, GPS, screen type and size, sensor list, app name, charging method and strap size.

The bezel text

The product photos show "SATM" at the top of the bezel, "Waer Resist" at the bottom and "PGD Smart" on the dial. The bezel lettering is printed in capitals; a misspelling on the hardware suggests limited quality control.

Who it's for

FX SmartWatch suits people who want a chunky outdoor look with basic smart features, taking calls on the wrist, and long battery claims. Our GX SmartWatch review covers a dressier round smartwatch from the same checkout.

• People who want a chunky outdoor look and basic smart features
• Anyone who wants to take calls from the wrist
• Buyers who prioritise long battery life over accuracy

The rugged look

Exposed screws and a heavy bezel suit casual and outdoor outfits.

Wrist calls

Handy when your phone is in a bag, within Bluetooth range.

Battery over accuracy

If you want to charge rarely and only need rough activity data.

Who should skip it

Skip FX SmartWatch if you swim or need a water rating, need built-in GPS, rely on health readings for medical decisions, or are comparing value with branded watches.

• Swimmers and anyone needing a stated water rating
• Runners and hikers who need built-in GPS
• People relying on health readings for medical decisions
• Buyers comparing value with branded smartwatches at the same price

Can you trust FX SmartWatch's health readings and 25-day battery?

Treat both as rough guides. Wrist heart rate sensors estimate pulse from light reflected through the skin; a 2017 study comparing wearables with an ECG found accuracy varied by device and dropped as exercise intensity rose. The page names no sensors or accuracy. Battery claims of "up to 25 days" assume light use; Tech Advisor's six-month test of the Amazfit Active 2 got four to five days with the always-on screen.

Heart rate accuracy

The 2017 study of wearable heart rate monitors found fit, movement and sweat all affect optical readings.

What this means for you: use it for trends, not diagnosis.

Battery reality

Calls, notifications and bright screens drain batteries quickly. Expect far less than 25 days with daily use.

Water

What to do: ask the seller for an IP or ATM rating before showering or swimming with it.

"Exclusive Premium Sport Design"

Premium is hard to square with a misspelled bezel and a case material sold as an upgrade.

How much does FX SmartWatch cost, and which add-ons matter?

On 6 October 2026, one FX SmartWatch cost $99, with the five-pack at $285 flagged as the best seller. The checkout offered an aluminium and ABS build for $7, a sport silicone strap for $9, a fast USB car charger for $4 and a 3-year warranty for $9. Tech Advisor lists the Amazfit Active 2 from $99.

FX SmartWatch price and bundles

Prices are in US dollars as listed on 6 October 2026. You can check today's packages on the FX SmartWatch order page (opens G Com Pte Ltd in a new tab).

Aluminium and ABS build

For $7, "the Aluminum + ABS build for extra sturdiness and a good look". The image shows the same watch on a rock. Ask what the standard case is made of.

Sport silicone strap

For $9, a flexible silicone band. The image shows a blue-bezelled rugged watch on a wrist, not the black model.

Car charger and warranty

A $4 fast USB car charger. The 3-year warranty costs $9.

Who sells it

The order page names G Com Pte Ltd at 137 Market Street in Singapore, with the email support@g63com.com and a phone number. The footer gives the country as Hong Kong. The page code says charges appear on your card statement as drone720x.com.

Is FX SmartWatch better than the Amazfit Active 2 or other watches from this checkout?

Not against the Amazfit. Tech Advisor lists the Amazfit Active 2 from $99 with a 1.32-inch Amoled screen, five satellite positioning systems, offline maps and claimed battery life of up to 10 days in standard use, and tested it over six months. FX SmartWatch states none of those.

How did we score FX SmartWatch?

FX SmartWatch scores 3.2 out of 10: claim accuracy 0.5, build durability 0.6, price competitiveness 0.4, usability 1.2 and owner satisfaction 0.5, each out of 2. It offers calls, notifications and a bold look. The score falls on a misspelled bezel, no water rating, GPS or app named, a build upgrade sold separately and a branded rival at the same price.

How the score breaks down

We use the five criteria on our how we test page, each out of 2.

What owners say

We found no Trustpilot profile for the gadgetxaura.com store and no retailer reviews for FX SmartWatch by that name. Owners of similar rugged budget smartwatches like the look and call feature, and complain about inaccurate step and sleep data, apps with intrusive permissions and batteries far short of the claim.

What we did, and did not, do

Nobody on our team has worn FX SmartWatch. We read the offer page our link opens and its page code on 6 October 2026, along with Tech Advisor's Amazfit Active 2 review, a wearable heart rate study and the pages that rank for FX SmartWatch. The refund and returns terms are as we recorded them from the site's terms page on 4 October 2026.

How to use FX SmartWatch for better readings and battery

Charge it fully, install only the app the seller names, and wear it snugly above the wrist bone. Turn off notifications you do not need, lower the screen brightness, and keep it away from water until you know its rating. Use health data for trends over weeks.

1. Full first charge. Then pair.
2. Check app permissions. Allow only what features need.
3. Snug fit. A finger's width above the wrist bone.
4. Trim notifications. Saves battery.
5. Lower brightness. Extends days between charges.
6. Keep it dry. Until the rating is confirmed.
7. Trends, not diagnosis. For health readings.

Calls

Keep your phone within Bluetooth range and expect a small speaker.

Weather

It pulls weather from your phone; keep location on for the app.

What else do people ask about budget smartwatches?

Most questions are about apps, swimming and contactless payments. Budget watches rely on third-party apps, swimming needs a stated rating, and payments are rare at this level. Browse our wearable reviews for more.

Which app does it use?

The page does not say. Ask before buying.

Can I pay with it?

Contactless payment is not mentioned.

Does it track sleep?

Probably, as most smartwatches do; accuracy is not stated.

Can I change the strap?

The $9 strap add-on suggests yes; ask for the lug width.
