Cheapest 4g smart watch

Posted 19th May 2023

Hi. I want a watch to track my running and play Spotify to wireless ear buds. Guess I need 4g? Unless you can download Spotify offline? I don't want to take my Fold 4 running!

Budget is cheap as possible, happy to buy used. Nothing Apple

A little word of warning. For Samsungs at least, when connected to a network & with Bluetooth running as well the battery life will be awful.

Only needs to last about an hour?

You can download Spotify playlists to an Android Wear watch and don't need data to track a run, just a GPS signal. Plus if you're trying to save money an e-sim for a watch will cost around £7 a month on top of your normal phone contract.

Thanks. Perhaps this is the best plan. I didn't realise you had to pay for the sim, I swear my misses had a 4g apple watch and she didn't have to pay monthly

So what sort of watch should I buy? I literally don't care about any other features as I won't wear it other than for running (edited)

Have a look at Ticwatch 3 Pro.
Usually plenty of good cheap ones from Amazon Warehouse or CEX.

Garmin allow you to download Spotify playlists directly to the watch.

If it’s for running and fitness tracking more than smart features like apps I would highly recommend Garmin as the battery life and is far superior than apple / android. (edited)
