The accessories catalog of the Chinese manufacturer ZTE is enriched with a new device presented in China: the watch ZTE Watch Live. Without much fanfare, simple cut, quite similar to the Amazfit Bip S and with a super cheap price, these are the keys to the new smartwatch.
Nubia took a risk with smartwatches by presenting a curved screen Nubia Alpha and a Nubia Watch, this year’s model and something more refined. For its part, ZTE preferred not to risk in its proposal opt for a square screen watch with a simple cut: the ZTE Watch Live. This watch can already be reserved in China at a very hefty price for a change: less than 30 dollars.

A simple watch with great autonomy
Generally speaking, the new ZTE watch closely resembles the Apple Watch in its box design, also the more popular Amazfit Bip S. Beyond logical similarities, ZTE Watch Live chooses to offer basic smartwatch functions compatible with almost all Android mobiles.
The ZTE Watch Live opts for a 1.4-inch TFT screen and 240 x 240 pixel resolution offering touch control and it is able to reflect the notifications of the connected smartphone. The screen is square, offers a choice of “watchfaces” and can be very little personalized. In addition, the watch offers IP68 resistance.
Activity recording is an almost mandatory option in a smartwatch of its style, so the ZTE Watch Live offers step monitoring, sleep monitoring, it has support for twelve sports registrations, offers a heart rate reader and also captures blood oxygen saturation data. It doesn’t have GPS so it takes the phone’s positioning data.
Autonomy is the big bet of the ZTE Watch Live: the brand ensures that watch lasts up to 21 days on a single charge. The charger is magnetic and the connection between the smartwatch and the base is via two charging pins.
ZTE Watch Live pricing and availability
The smartwatch was presented in China and, at least for now, it will stay there. It can be reserved now in the manufacturer’s online store and will begin distribution from December 3. Its price is 29.17 dollars to change (249 yuan).
