The C-Max Call Time comes with the basic features you might expect from a smartwatch. You can use it to answer or make calls, check your messages, and do all the standard smartwatch tasks. Use it to quickly check the time, start a stopwatch or set an alarm. And that’s just the start.

Here’s what one verified reviewer has to say: “So far, I like it a lot! The app was easy to configure, and the phone notifications show up quickly; useful to read when the phone is in my pocket. I also like that [it] can make phone calls ‘com-link’ style.”

You can also use the C-Max as a remote shutter when you’re snapping a selfie. Plus, you can control your music without pulling out your phone or fiddling with the controls on your Bluetooth earbuds. Check the weather before going out for a jog, and know that you don’t have to stay inside if it looks like rain. This smartwatch is IP67 waterproof, so run, dance or skip in the rain. (Just don’t take it swimming, which is one thing the Apple Watch does extremely well. Here’s our guide on how to get started swimming with Apple Watch.)

This simple smartwatch lets you keep an eye on your health readings while you exercise, too. While the Chronowatch is not a piece of medical equipment, the data it collects can prove useful to give you an idea of what your body is up to.

Save on a Chronowatch C-Max Call Time smartwatch

Apple Watch Series 8 starts at $399, the entry-level Apple Watch SE retails for $249, and don’t even get us started about that big, beautiful Apple Watch Ultra and its big, beautiful (for Apple) price tag.

However, you don’t need to drop your whole paycheck to get a high-quality smartwatch. This one costs less than a typical Apple Watch band, and it comes in black, white, rose water and pink. Get a Chronowatch C-Max Call Time Smartwatch (Pink) on sale for $34.97 (regularly $99).
