The Edge is a new and very affordable smartwatch that is also supposed to appeal with its unusual design. The manufacturer opts for an AMOLED display and promises the tracking of various health data. There are some limitations, which could affect athletes in particular.
Rollme is once again launching a new smartwatch. The so-called Edge is available directly at the manufacturer for $30. Customers can choose between a black or white version, but also need to pay close attention to the shipping terms and additional fees.
The design is fairly angular and, needless to say, a matter of taste. A rotating crown is located on the right side, and there are no additional buttons. The watch is also somewhat durable, but only meets the IP68 standard. Therefore, the Rollme Edge should not be used for diving or swimming, even though the manufacturer shows these activities in one of the promo image.
Smartwatch with AMOLED display
The watch features a 1.95-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 460 x 460 pixels. Rollme specifies a color deviation of Delta E < 2, but there’s no official info regarding the brightness, which is probably more relevant for a wearable like this one. Either way, the watch is 10.5mm thick and 40mm wide, while the 380mAh is supposed to last up to 10 days on a full charge. The Edge further offers the usual features and can display notifications and show weather info, for instance.
Health features onboard
The Rollme Edge is also able to measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. Additionally, it can analyze sleep duration and quality, primarily by tracking nighttime movements. A GPS module is not available, so running distances can only be estimated based on step count and stride length unless the watch is paired with a smartphone. That said, a microphone and speaker are included, which means that the Rollme Edge can be used as a hands-free device for AI assistants.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
