Low-priced Smart Watches in the market - Beyond, Existing and Upcoming

Wearable Technology - Despite being one of the trendy items that each sports man should have, there are still some people, who tend to shy away from owning a smart watch because they are a bit expensive and it can strain your pockets. However, do they really? Or are we just too blinded by the fact that those branded ones get too much attention since they can pay for advertisements and the likes that they somehow overshadow those brands that are cheaper?

Surprising as it may be, there are many smart watches available in the market that are within your budget (they came from great brands too!) and they existed even before the start of this smart watch fad. Unbelievably, we saw too many smart watches right before our eyes. In fact, we once we used them as remote control and remember the ones that served as calculators? Do you remember them? I guess not since they did not linger as much as people envisioned them to be.

The first ever "smart watch" that was made commercially available was the pulsar time computer calculator by Hamilton. It was marketed with a staggering price of $2,100, and though people find it very useful to have a handy calculator strapped in their wrist all the time, the product suddenly flopped due to its expensive pricing.

In 1980, Casio developed their calculator into becoming a watch and added a key feature of a calendar. With an amount of $49, you can already have it and enjoy its benefits. Casio became extremely popular for their innovative creation at that time.

Over time, the desire for digital watches dwindled down and many people divert their attention back to those old traditional watches as it boast of more character and it makes you look more respectable compared to digital ones.

This should be a sign for manufacturers to give up smart watches, however, instead of accepting defeat, they tend to move forward and discover more ways to re-invent smart watches that can serve the needs of the consumers. That is why, in today's generation, there are many companies who introduce smart watches, wherein you can keep track of your fitness and health as well as get notifications from calls and texts among many other benefits.

On the contrary, smart watches are still watches but with just an added "brain" to perform some functions. And they should not really be as expensive, right? So for you to enjoy having a smart watch that most people who spend more money than you do, we have provided you here with a list of smart watches that are budget-friendly as it will not cost you more than $150.
