Rollme’s GT3S smartwatch has just launched with a $49.99 price tag, with dual-band GPS, health tracking, and AI features. The real-world GPS accuracy and longevity of the watch remain to be seen, given its low price and bold claims.
Rollme has introduced the GT3S, a dual-band GPS smartwatch for outdoor enthusiasts and budget-conscious buyers. Priced at $49.99, the GT3S is bringing a feature set usually seen in somewhat pricier devices, but as with most low-cost wearables, the true test will be how the watch performs in real-world use.
The GT3S has a 1.56-inch AMOLED display. It sports three physical buttons: a GPS shortcut, a power button, and a customizable function key, which should be pretty practical during active use.
The case meets MIL-STD durability standards, includes 3ATM water resistance for basic protection against rain and splashes, and packs a 650mAh battery that claims up to 90 days standby – a figure that will likely vary with GPS and activity tracking enabled.
Core features:
- Dual-band, six-satellite GPS for location tracking
- Barometric altimeter and compass for outdoor navigation
- Bluetooth calling with built-in microphone and speaker
- Health monitoring heart rate, SpO2, and sleep tracking
- Over 100 sport modes for activity measurement

The GT3S also touts AI-driven watch faces and GPT-powered conversational support, which, while interesting on a spec sheet, often deliver mixed results.
On paper, the Rollme GT3S crams a lot into a $49.99 price tag. However, industry experience suggests that ultra-budget wearables sometimes cut corners – real-world GPS accuracy, battery longevity under daily use, and the responsiveness of AI features are all areas to watch. Still, for buyers looking for affordability with a rich spec list, the GT3S could be a useful alternative to mainstream GPS watches, provided it lives up to even most of its promises – especially since GPS on cheaper smartwatches aren’t always the most accurate, as evident by these Reddit threads (1) (2).
The GT3S is now available in black and silver with color-matched silicone straps, directly from Rollme’s official store.
Alternatively, the Amazfit Band 7 is available for $44.99 on Amazon.
