Update (July 7, 2024): I have used many watches like this and all had a feature to update the firmware. I never, ever received a firmware update before this watch. It actually updated and fixed the one thing I didn't like (the snooze feature)! Yay! I am adding the extra star for this! Now my favorite watch.

I got this FitPolo smartwatch when it was listed at $24, a very nice price. It is almost identical to my go-to watch.
It looks good, very apple-ish. It has the 'stem' button that turns on the screen, takes you to the features or, when held, calls up Alexa. Awesome! You can make calls from the watch via an on-screen dial pad. You can answer calls on the watch. You can read headers to your emails, and most of a text message. You can set quiet time so as not to be disturbed at night. The usual wake-on-wrist-turn is here too, with the advantage that it turns off when you put your arm down. You can set how long the screen stays on. I am almost a week in with the watch and I still have 44% left on the first charge.
A feature I really like is that you can do many things, like setting new alarms, right on the watch. All other models I have used required that you use your phone to do this. One feature this has that my other watch does not, is a snooze feature. Some might like this, but I find it a problem. The issue is that pressing the stem button is snooze. You have to look at the screen and select the right button to turn the alarm off without snooze. I suppose that really wakes you up, but I would like the option to disable the snooze feature.
There are many, many faces to choose from both free and paid. It was easy to pick out some I love.
The strap is a traditional watch strap. I would swap it for a velcro sport strap.
This is a well designed watch well worth the $50 listing. Since it also had a $15 coupon, it was outstanding! Nice!
