Rogbid has launched the SpinR, a budget-friendly smartwatch designed for those who prefer tactile navigation over traditional touchscreen controls. Priced at $49.99, the device features a unique optical scroll wheel built into its side crown, mimicking the functionality of a gaming mouse to allow users to navigate menus, adjust settings, and control media without touching the screen.
The watch is housed in a zinc alloy case with a vacuum-plated finish, available in black or orange. Despite its rugged look, the device maintains a slim profile, measuring 51 mm diagonally and 13.4 mm at its thickest point. It uses a 1.7-inch display with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels and is powered by a 7074 A7 chipset.
While the SpinR lacks onboard GPS, it supports Bluetooth 5.4 to sync location data from a paired smartphone. The device includes standard tracking tools like a heart rate monitor and pedometer. It is rated IPX8 for water resistance and features a battery designed to last for extended periods, according to the company, with magnetic charging available for quick power-ups when necessary.
This entry-level wearable aims to balance utility with an accessible price point, offering a specific navigational hardware feature that sets it apart from other budget models in the market today.
