There was a time when smartwatches used to be very expensive. However, the Chinese smartwatch boom has significantly reduced the price while bringing in tons of value-for-money features. One such brand is the Shenzhen-based Colmi which recently launched its P71 smartwatch. Let’s take a look into the features of Colmi P71 and the unbeatable price it comes at.  Key Specifications of Colmi P71   Design and Build Quality  Colmi smartwatches are known for their inspirations drawn from Apple or pixel watches. But unlike other Chinese brands, Colmi doesn’t blatantly copy their design elements into smartwatches.  The P71 is specifically inspired by the standard Apple watch series. But a close look reveals that the sides are flat instead of curved ones found on the Apple watch. The rotating crown is also positioned slightly above the usual space on the right. The entire build of the smartwatch is also made of plastic unlike aluminum or stainless steel found on the Apple watch.  Coming to actual specifications, it features a 37.9 by 45.5 by 11.2 mm dimension. The length of the smartwatch including the strap comes in at around 220 mm. The strap connectors are conjoined below the smartwatch giving it a flush look from the outside. Overall, the design of the P71 looks sleek. For a smartwatch that’s priced around 10 dollars, there is no room to nitpick.  Read more: Top 10 Smartwatches Released in 2022 and 2023 The Display  The display is often a make-or-break factor in purchasing a basic-level smartwatch. Thankfully the display on the P71 is pretty standard. The 1.9-inch IPS LCD panel has a 240 by 286-pixel resolution. While the pixel count isn’t quite on par with other higher-end smartwatches, it produces decent results.  The colors look sharp with good details. It isn’t possible to make out the individual pixels unless one is closely looking at the display. The viewing angles on the P71 are also good unless it’s looked at from extreme angles. Then it shows slight flickering owing to the lower resolution. Another slight issue is that the display isn’t symmetrical.  There is a large chin at the bottom of the display which may deter the experience a bit. But again considering the price, these are excusable compromises.  Read more: Using Smartwatch Daily? Know the Pros and Cons Performance, Connectivity, and Battery  The P71 is powered by RTL8763EWE with 270 KB RAM and 128 MB ROM. Smartwatch specs aren’t all that significant considering it's all about usability. Unlike smartphones, smartwatches do not slow down over time so the prime concern is, does it feel snappy out of the box?  Well, users would be pleased to know that the P71 performs well with its friendly UI and fast animations. In addition to all the standard features, there’s a heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter. But the thing about budget-friendly smartwatches is that the accuracy of these sensors is often questionable. The pedometer was constantly counting 10-20 steps more. Sometimes it would start counting even while riding a car. Similarly, take the results of the pulse oximeter and the heart rate sensor with a pinch of salt. The smartwatch also has IP68 water resistance so a casual dip won’t do it any damage.  Read more: Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Smartwatch Review with Price in Bangladesh But what sets the P71 apart? It’s the Bluetooth calling feature on the smartwatch. Users can remotely receive and call from the smartwatch. The voice call performance was decent considering the price.  As for the battery, there’s a 2-pin magnetic charger at the back that can top up the device in about 2 hours. Once fully charged, the 230 mAh lithium battery can easily last 5 to 7 days under heavy use. If you’re a casual user, then a charge every fortnight would suffice. Using the smartwatch with a smartphone would require the Pubu Wear app.  Price of Colmi P71 Smartwatch  The official price of the Colmi P71 smartwatch is around $16.95. That roughly amounts to 1,863 BDT (1 USD = 109.93 BDT). The smartphone is also unofficially available in Bangladesh at around the same price.  Read more: Colmi P28 Plus Review: Is It a Worthy Budget Smartwatch? Final Words  The Colmi P71 smartwatch brings almost all the standard features of a smartwatch at an affordable price point. The design, display, and battery are easily its strongest suit. The sensors could have been a bit more accurate but considering the price, it’s a hard bargain for that. Regardless, the Colmi P71 is still one of the best budget-friendly smartwatches to buy in 2024.
