Doogee’s new Anywise W1 might look like a rugged Garmin Fenix, but it’s doing things its own way at a much lower price. This trimmed-down version of the Anywise W1 Pro keeps the essentials like AMOLED display, dual-band GNSS, and a waterproof zinc alloy body, while cutting features like offline navigation and onboard storage to make it more accessible.
AMOLED display and waterproof build headline the Anywise W1
At the heart of the Anywise W1 is a sharp 1.43-inch AMOLED screen, protected by a case made from zinc alloy. It’s not just for looks either Doogee claims the watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM, making it safe for swimming, rain, or even diving sessions. Its rugged casing, complete with visible screws and an LED, drives home the outdoor-ready vibe.
Despite its more affordable tag, the watch isn’t skipping on health tracking. The built-in optical sensors handle heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and stress level monitoring. Plus, with a speaker and mic onboard, it can be used for Bluetooth calls or voice assistant access directly from your wrist.
Anywise W1 ditches maps, keeps core smart features
One major trade-off compared to the Pro version is the lack of internal storage only 256 MB here versus 2 GB on the W1 Pro. That means no offline maps and no standalone navigation. Navigation still works, but only when the watch is connected to a smartphone. Still, the dual-band GNSS support means it handles location tracking with accuracy.
Here’s what the Anywise W1 still delivers:
- 1.43-inch AMOLED display
- Dual-band GNSS positioning
- Waterproof up to 5 ATM
- Heart rate, SpO2, and stress tracking
- LED flashlight
- Mic and speaker for hands-free calling
- Voice assistant support
- Sturdy design with visible screws
Waterproof smartwatch with AMOLED display gets stripped down smart
While the Anywise W1 pulls back on storage and some standalone features, it sticks to the core outdoor smartwatch playbook. AMOLED visuals, water protection, and GNSS make it a solid pick for users who want a rugged look and core tracking features without the higher cost of full-featured models.
Stripped-down doesn’t mean stripped-bare, it means focused where it counts.
