    Sounds like a €30 smartwatch I’ve seen some 7 years ago. Yep, it costed that back then. It ran Android 4.4 and even the battery was user replaceable.
    I think it was called QW09.

    Unfortunately, I was 10 at the time, and €30 sounded like a lot to me, so I didn’t buy it :(

    Edit: Found some pics

        rectangular smartwatch master race
        i don’t care that watches used to be round because of a rotary mechanism. i want a SCREEN on my wrist and screens are square for a reason!

          Tell me about it. They rather hamfistedly tried to fit a rectangular design language into a circular screen and it never quite works right.

            To be fair, Apple seems to have done a good job at fitting a circular design language into a square watch…

      I mean, you can probably still get 300 different variants of that on aliexpress for less than $10
