This new WeLoop Hey 3S smartwatch even has an heart-rate sensor, and is also water resistant. The smartwatch is listed on Xiaomi’s MIJIA platform, where the project is being crowded funded. It has reached more than 800 per cent of the original target, if you go by the page.

The price of the WeLoop Hey 3S is 539 Yuan, which is around Rs 5000 on conversion. Given what the watch claims to offer, the pricing is impressive. If you look at the strap and rectangular design, it is hard to miss the similarity with the Apple Watch Series 1 and 2.
