Alza's smartwatch with AMOLED and GPS discounted to 995 CZK. Last year it cost three times as much

Smartwatches with their own GPS and AMOLED display rarely drop below a thousand CZK. WOWME Nexus have now dropped to 995 CZK, even though they were introduced last autumn for 2,990 CZK. Even in the last sale, they cost 1,399 CZK, so the current price is significantly lower than before. You can verify the price and stock availability (with such significant discounts, the status changes quickly) directly in the product detail on Alza.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want an affordable smartwatch with its own GPS, AMOLED display, and sport and sleep tracking.
⚠️ Consider if you expect Garmin or Apple-level accuracy and ecosystem; this is a lower-end watch with the VeryFit app.
💡 At 995 CZK, this is a significantly lower price than at launch, when they cost 2,990 CZK.

Why these smartwatches are interesting

Cheap smartwatches usually cut corners on two things: the display and GPS. WOWME Nexus have both: a 1.43″ AMOLED display with Always On Display function and built-in GPS, which measures route and distance without a phone. In addition, they include a barometer and compass, so for regular training and hiking, they provide more data than most competitors in this price range.

The second thing is the price in context. When launched last autumn, the watches sold for 2,990 CZK, in the last sale they dropped to 1,399 CZK, and now they are the cheapest at 995 CZK. For someone who wants to try a sports tracker with a display and GPS and doesn’t want to spend thousands on a Garmin or Apple Watch, this is a low-cost entry with a three-year warranty.

Key specs explained

The display is a 1.43″ AMOLED with high brightness and Always On, which is above standard for this price, as cheap smartwatches often use darker LCD panels. The body is made of lightweight plastic, weighing 45.3 g, making it comfortable for all-day wear and sleeping. It offers 110 sport modes and health monitoring, which tracks heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO₂), stress, and sleep.

Data is stored in the VeryFit app and synchronizes with Apple Health and Strava. However, it’s fair to say that VeryFit is a universal app used by many cheaper smartwatches, so expect clear statistics, not the analytical depth of sports brands. The watch also handles Bluetooth calls via a paired phone, notifications, music and camera control, and a Find My Phone function.

Practical aspects: battery life, durability, strap

Battery life needs to be considered realistically. The manufacturer states up to a week of normal operation, but actual battery life depends on how often you use Always On Display and GPS, which are among the biggest power consumers. If you turn these features on full-time, expect a few days instead. It charges conveniently via the magnetic charging cable included in the package and offers an economy mode for longer operation.

Durability is covered by IP68 certification against dust and water, so sweat or rain won’t harm the watch. However, consider this as protection for sports and everyday wear, not as a swimming watch for diving. The strap is silicone with a 22mm Quick Release standard, so you can easily replace it with another and are not reliant on expensive originals.

Things to consider

Before buying, it’s good to manage expectations. WOWME Nexus are lower-priced smartwatches, so GPS accuracy and heart rate measurement will be approximate, not at the level of sports brands costing many times more. Calling works only via a phone paired via Bluetooth; it’s not standalone calling with its own SIM. The body is made of plastic, albeit lightweight and comfortable, so don’t expect the feel of metal or titanium.

Competition in the same price range is also worth noting. For similar money, you could buy, for example, a fitness tracker with long battery life, which, however, lacks AMOLED or its own GPS. The main argument for the Nexus is precisely the combination of an AMOLED display and standalone GPS for under a thousand CZK, so if you don’t need these two things, it’s worth considering simpler alternatives with longer battery life.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you need accurate sports data for serious training, these smartwatches won’t satisfy you, and it’s worth paying extra for a brand with more sophisticated measurements. They also won’t suit people who want to make calls independently without a phone, as calls only work via a paired mobile. And if you expect a premium feel from a metal body from a smartwatch, keep in mind that the Nexus relies on lightweight plastic, not luxurious materials.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

The WOWME Nexus is a reasonable entry into the world of smartwatches for 995 CZK, especially for those who want an AMOLED display and standalone GPS without a large investment. You get a lightweight body, Always On Display, 110 sport modes, and a three-year warranty. However, be realistic that these are lower-end smartwatches with approximate accuracy and the VeryFit app. If these compromises don’t bother you, the drop from 2,990 CZK last autumn to 995 CZK is a good reason to get them right now.

For you, with affordable smartwatches, is standalone GPS more important, or the longest possible battery life?
