    I got a cheapo Xiaomi one a few years back.

    Pretty sure it just makes the heart rate up and infers it from how many steps you’re doing.

    When it gets wet, it randomly skips songs on Spotify.

      The water thing is just a quirk of capacitive touchscreens. The same happens on the most expensive watches too, which is why there is usually a water mode that you can put the watch into. It sorta locks the touchscreen until you disable it using one of the physical buttons.
