Martian Notifier

The Martian Notifier brings plenty of notifications to a classic wristwatch design, but if you're looking to run apps from your wrist, this isn't the smartwatch for you.

Reasonable price. Fairly classic design. Many notification options.

Tiny OLED display. Little functionality aside from notifications.

Features and Conclusions Once connected, the Notifier is capable of delivering a number of notifications from your smartphone to a 0.7-inch OLED display at the bottom of the watch face. The one-line display is monochrome and features 96-by-16-pixel...

Martian Notifier review: This smartwatch is smarter than it looks

The Martian Notifier smartwatch is affordable and offers an excellent phone alert experience despite its smooth analog style.

The affordable Martian Notifier is a whiz at smartphone alerts and has classic analog style for mainstream appeal. The Notifier supports both Android and iOS devices.

Charging the Notifier’s Bluetooth radio and other mobile electronics requires a proprietary cable. The watch is splashproof, but not fully water-resistant.

If you’re looking for a way to get subtle phone alerts on your wrist without busting the budget, it’s hard to top the Martian Notifier.

Martian Notifier review

Meeting the bare minimum of an analog smartwatch

Simple pairing ; Instantaneous notifications ; Works on Android and iOS

Large and bulky ; Extremely limited functionality ; Expensive for what it actually is
