When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, staying active is usually at the top of the list. And with many of us still working from home, there’s even more of an incentive to get our steps in. But if you’d rather not break the bank on an expensive fitness tracker, Amazon shoppers may have just the answer.

With over 12,000 customer ratings, this YAMAY Smart Watch Fitness Tracker is one of the highly-rated fitness tools on Amazon — and for good reason.

Not only does it keep count of all the basics (calories, heart rate and distance traveled), it also has several other noteworthy features. One, it doubles as a sleep tracker, so you can analyze your sleep quality and schedule. And two, it notifies you of message alerts straight from your phone and comes with a mode for relaxation. Plus, the watch is waterproof and the battery life lasts up to 10 days.

Aside from the budget-friendly price, multiple shoppers noted the style and functionality of the watch as two big pros.

One reviewer even praised the device as a cheaper option to the Apple Watch.

“I would recommend this watch to anyone that is looking for a smartwatch and cannot afford an Apple Watch,” they explained. “I plan to let some of my friends know about this watch as it really delivers just as the description says.”

Another shopper echoed a similar sentiment, adding that the watch is the perfect replacement for an older device.

“This is very similar to an Apple watch, and that’s a good thing,” they wrote. “I purchased another smartwatch from a different brand a few months ago and it was nowhere near as good as this. This watch does everything I need it to do.”

Additionally, one reviewer expressed how simple and easy the Yamay watch was to use.

“At a fraction of the price of its competitor, this watch makes a great gift to give someone who wants to be trendy and cares about his or her health,” they commented. “It took my eight-year-old son one hour to explore the watch and become familiar with all of its features.”
