Best Android Smartwatches in 2027: 7 Picks With SIM, Camera and Gaming Power
Can you really trust these Chinese gadgets? A few days ago, a video about unique smartwatches got a huge response, so this time the lineup is even bigger: the top Android smartwatches ordered from China, with two or three models from India as well. In this guide we go through every watch one by one — the CD55 Ultra Max with a replaceable battery, the SK888 5G, the RKBI R3 Ultra, the CD12 Pro Max gaming watch, and three bonus picks (the M99, the S9 Ultra and the CD20 Pro Max). If you are looking for the best Android smartwatches that work almost like a phone on your wrist, read till the end.
Most of these watches share a serious spec sheet: a working SIM slot with 4G/5G internet, a built-in camera, 8GB of RAM, a massive 128GB of storage, and full Android apps — from WhatsApp and Instagram to YouTube and even games like Free Fire and BGMI. Prices mentioned below are the prices these models were picked up for in the video; street prices keep changing, so treat them as a rough guide, not a promise.
1. CD55 Ultra Max — The One With a Replaceable Battery
The first watch on the list is the CD55 Ultra Max, and it does something we have seen in old smartphones but almost never in a smartwatch: you can replace its battery. The box includes two batteries, and the makers have even fitted the health sensors on the back of the battery units themselves.
Here is how the system works. Suppose the battery inside your watch runs out. You simply put the second battery on charge, pop the charged one in, and keep going. When one battery is empty, the other one is already ready. Fixing the battery is easy — you align it, press it in, and it locks into place.
There is one disadvantage you should know about. Because the back opens up for battery swaps, the watch is unlikely to carry a proper IP water-resistance rating. Taking it out in the rain could be risky, so this is a watch you would want to keep away from water.
CD55 Ultra Max Features
- Fingerprint sensor built in to turn the watch on
- A camera fitted on the watch body
- All your social media apps run on it
- Gaming: Free Fire and BGMI both run on this watch
- SIM card support — in an emergency, insert your SIM and use mobile internet directly from your wrist; you can even book cabs and similar services
- 8GB RAM and a massive 128GB storage
Camera samples from the watch were shown in the video so viewers could judge the quality themselves.
CD55 Ultra Max Price
The CD55 Ultra Max was bought for around ₹8,000. For a watch with a swappable battery, a camera, a fingerprint sensor and full phone-like features, that price is the big talking point — tell us in the comments whether you think it is worth it.
2. SK888 5G — The One That Looks Like a Watch Ultra 2
At number two is the SK888 5G Android Smartwatch, a model clearly styled after Samsung’s Watch Ultra 2. It copies the look so closely that, side by side, most people would struggle to tell which one is which — only serious tech enthusiasts would spot the differences.
SK888 5G Features
- A camera built right into the watch — still a surprising sight on a budget watch
- A smooth 90Hz refresh rate display
- Menu styles that closely follow the real Watch Ultra 2
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support
- Even NFC, just like the original, has been included
- Instead of eSIM (which the original uses), this one takes a physical 5G SIM card
From the inside, of course, the difference between this and a genuine Samsung watch is clear — software polish, sensors and long-term support are not the same thing. But as a look-alike with real Android features, it is an interesting budget option. It is not a Samsung product, so buy it for what it is.
SK888 5G Price
This model was bought for around ₹6,000–₹7,000.
3. RKBI R3 Ultra — GPS, Crown Camera and an IR Blaster
At number three is the RKBI R3 Ultra. This one got a lot of comments in the earlier video from people asking where its buying link was, because it was not available in India at the time. Now it has been purchased from India itself.
RKBI R3 Ultra Features
- GPS works really well on this watch — a big deal for fitness tracking and maps
- A camera hidden inside the crown button
- 8GB RAM and a proper 128GB of storage
- Insert a SIM card and you get proper 5G network support
- A front sensor that works like an IR blaster — remember how smartphones used to have one? Through this sensor you can control your AC, TV and other home devices straight from your wrist
RKBI R3 Ultra Price
The RKBI R3 Ultra costs ₹7,500 in India.
4. CD12 Pro Max — The Gaming Watch
At number four is the CD12 Pro Max, and this one earns a special title: the gaming watch.
To turn it on, you can use the fingerprint sensor, and you can also set up face lock. There is a camera inside the crown button, and like the others here it packs 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
Why It Is Called a Gaming Watch
- BGMI plays quite well on it, and Free Fire runs nicely too
- The square shape helps — you do not face the control problems that round screens create in games
- You can download any app from the Play Store
- YouTube plays at 1080p (no 4K or 2K support), and the Super AMOLED display keeps the viewing experience good
- The menu style and analogue watch faces are inspired by the iPhone — look closely and it genuinely resembles one
- Spotify for songs, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook — everything runs
- Even ChatGPT runs well on it — it was tested and worked perfectly
If you want a smartphone that you can wear on your wrist, the CD12 Pro Max is a strong option in this list of the best Android smartwatches.
CD12 Pro Max Price
The CD12 Pro Max costs ₹7,500.
Bonus Picks: M99, S9 Ultra and CD20 Pro Max
Before we finish, here are three bonus Android smartwatches worth a look.
M99 Android Smartwatch
You have probably seen the M99 before. It has a pretty large display and a camera inside it, along with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It currently costs ₹6,600.
S9 Ultra
The S9 Ultra gives you dual cameras — one camera on the front side and another on the back side — which opens up more flexible photo and video-call options.
CD20 Pro Max
Finally, the CD20 Pro Max is an upgraded version of the CD12 Pro Max, so if you liked the gaming watch above, this newer model is the one to check as well.

Should You Buy a Chinese Android Smartwatch?
These watches offer things branded watches simply do not give you at this price: a working SIM with internet, real Android apps, games, cameras in unexpected places, and in one case even a replaceable battery. The trade-offs are just as real — water resistance may be missing, long-term software support is uncertain, and a look-alike is not the same as the original it imitates.
If your priority is trying phone-like features on your wrist at the lowest cost, the models above are exactly where to start looking. And if you are setting up a new Android device to go with your watch, our guide on how to transfer data from Android to iPhone will help you move your data safely.
FAQs About Android Smartwatches
Can an Android smartwatch work without a phone?
Yes. Most watches in this list accept their own SIM card, so they can use mobile internet, apps and services independently.
Can you play games on an Android smartwatch?
Yes — the CD55 Ultra Max and the CD12 Pro Max were both shown running Free Fire and BGMI. The square screen of the CD12 Pro Max makes gaming controls easier.
Do these watches have cameras?
All of them do. The RKBI R3 Ultra hides its camera in the crown button, and the S9 Ultra goes further with dual cameras on the front and back.
How much storage do these watches have?
Most models here come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is closer to a budget smartphone than a normal smartwatch.
Are these watches waterproof?
Be careful. The CD55 Ultra Max, for example, is not expected to have a proper IP rating because of its replaceable battery design. Always check the specific model’s rating before exposing it to water.
