    A dirt cheap 'smart' watch!

    Here's a bit of what Amazon says about it: (Complete with badly translated info.)

    IRULU Bluetooth Smart Watch U8 WristWatch Phone For Android IOS, Samsung, iPhone, LG Smartphone

    Multi-function: Dial, short message, phone book, call history, BT notification, BT music, Long-distance capture, pedometer, rest, sleep monitor, anti-theft, power save mode etc.
    Compatibility: All Android Mobile Phone & Android Tablet PC. Android Mobile Phone: Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, HUAWEI, ZTE, OPPO, XIAOMI, and so on. Some functions are compatible with iPhone 4 / 4S / 5 / 5S / 6 / 6 Plus.
    Remote taking photo function: You can control your cellphone to take photo from your wrist (only for android phone, less android phone can't support)
    Anti-lost alarm function: When cellphone left watch alarm automatically, after a certain distance to avoid lose the phones.
    Ring reminder when your Android 2.3 or above smart phone receive a message (including Wechat, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Skype, and so on).

    Dick's take: If you're looking for a real smart watch, this isn't it. BUT, if you've never had a smart watch, or a need a gift for a kid (that might not last long) this could be it! I'd get the $16.00 model I believe it's the exact same watch! (Prices as of 9/10/15)

    $20.88:  http://amzn.to/1UECCH9   (Both are Amazon Prime.)

    $15.99    http://amzn.to/1UECeZj  (Different brand name, but looks identical.)
