Rogbid has launched the SpinR, a new budget-friendly smartwatch priced at $49.99. The device features a rugged-style design with a 1.7-inch display and comes in either Black or Orange. A notable addition for this price point is the optical scroll wheel on the side, which mimics navigation found on gaming mice and allows users to scroll through menus without touching the display.
Under the hood, the watch is powered by a 7074 A7 chipset with 128 MB of internal storage. It relies on a standard heart rate sensor and an accelerometer for tracking. The device uses Bluetooth 5.4 for connectivity, though it lacks built-in GPS. Users will need to pair the watch with their phone for location tracking features. The build quality consists of a zinc alloy front shell with a vacuum-plated finish and a plastic back panel.
The company claims the 1100 mAh battery provides up to 100 days of standby time. It is important to note that this figure represents idle performance rather than active daily use with the screen and sensors running. The device is rated IPX8 for water resistance, supporting depths up to 30 meters. At its current price, the SpinR positions itself as a basic option for those looking for a large-format wearable without the high cost of flagship alternatives.
