If you\u2019re after a smartwatch<\/a> that looks good, tracks your health, and doesn\u2019t cost a fortune, this list is for you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Here are five of the best smartwatches<\/a> under RM1,000 in 2025, plus one bonus pick worth checking out.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch SE 3 (40 mm)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch SE 3<\/a> technically starts at RM1,049, but with promos or sales, you can usually find it under RM1,000; and for iPhone users, it\u2019s still the best deal around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It runs on Apple\u2019s newer S10 chip with watchOS 26, so everything feels quick and responsive. You get the essentials like heart rate monitoring, crash detection, sleep tracking, and even wrist temperature and ovulation tracking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Battery life lasts about a day, which is typical for Apple Watches, but you do get that smooth, refined experience that\u2019s hard to match at this price.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi Watch S4 (41 mm)<\/p>\n

Starting from RM549, the Xiaomi Watch S4<\/a> offers a lot for the money.<\/p>\n

It has a stainless-steel frame, a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with 60 Hz refresh, and peak brightness up to 1,500 nits. There\u2019s dual-band GPS, SpO\u2082 and skin-temperature tracking, Bluetooth calling, and more than 150 sports modes. Battery life goes up to eight days on light use.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on Android and want something stylish and reliable without paying too much, this is a solid choice.<\/p>\n

Shopee<\/a> | Lazada<\/a><\/p>\n

Huawei Watch GT 6 (41 mm)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If battery life is your main concern, the Huawei Watch GT 6<\/a> is worth a look. It\u2019s RM999 for the 41 mm version, which has a slimmer build that fits smaller wrists nicely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You still get plenty of endurance with up to 14 days on light use, and a 1.32-inch AMOLED display that\u2019s clear outdoors. There\u2019s dual-band GPS, heart rate and SpO\u2082 tracking, skin-temperature and sleep monitoring, all running on HarmonyOS 4.2. It\u2019s durable too, with IP69 and 5 ATM water resistance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you want something elegant that still handles workouts and travel easily, this one makes sense.<\/p>\n

Shopee<\/a> | Lazada<\/a><\/p>\n

Vivo Watch GT<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Vivo Watch GT<\/a> goes for around RM499 and keeps things simple.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s lightweight with a 1.85-inch AMOLED display, built-in GPS, heart-rate and SpO\u2082 tracking, and more than 100 sports modes. Battery life can stretch up to 21 days in power-saving mode, or about 10 days with regular use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It runs on Vivo\u2019s BlueOS, which looks straightforward to use, and even includes niche modes like badminton and pickleball.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you just want a fuss-free watch that covers the basics well, this is it.<\/p>\n

Shopee<\/a> | Lazada<\/a><\/p>\n
