Shoppers praised the device as being ‘excellent value for money’
Amazon shoppers have been raving about a “stylish and expensive” smartwatch that is also incredibly “durable.” People were quick to praise the device, which is on sale for less than £100, making it ideal for people wanting an affordable option other than Apple or Samsung.
The Dreamac Military Smartwatch is available for £59.99 on Amazon, considerably less than leading brands like Apple, Fitbit and Garmin often charge. Amazon says the device is made to “military-grade” standards and can “effectively cope with all kinds of harsh environments” as well as daily life, from working, playing, exploring, or travelling.
The waterproof smartwatch is made from a wear-resistant material to provide effective protection from various elements, including shock, temperature, pressure, liquid, sand, dust, water and impact. Beyond “looking good”, it also earns its ‘smart’ status thanks to a range of different features.

With the built-in speakers and microphone, Amazon says it is easy to make and receive smartwatch calls. The device also gives on-the-wrist notifications from various social media apps, text messages, and emails that come from your mobile phone.
It also acts as a fitness tracker, with over 120 different sport programmes to log and record your workouts. During the day, it can count steps and calories burned in real time, and at night, it can chart your sleep quality for “all-around health monitoring”.
Amazon also claims that the device has incredible battery life, meaning it needs less time to charge. The online seller claims that it may last “longer than a traditional smartwatch” and suggests that the power may last up to a week with general day-to-day use from one charge.
Similar devices are on the market for people wanting an affordable way into the smartwatch world without spending hundreds of pounds. For example, Sports Direct is offering this Karrimor Smart Watch (£19.99, down from £49.99) and the Reflex Active Series 23 Smart Watch from Currys (£39.99), but hundreds preferred this Amazon deal.
In the reviews, one shopper said: “Extremely happy with this watch, it looks great and has excellent functions. It’s excellent value for money and has really good build quality. Easy to charge and very comfortable to wear.”
Another added: “Looks stylish and expensive. Given the cost against Apple or Samsung, this is brilliant. I bought one for my partner, and after watching him set up, I’ve just ordered myself one.”
A third wrote: “The battery life is outstanding—I’ve gone weeks without needing a recharge. Plus, the call feature is super handy when I’m on the go.” Someone else added: “I didn’t take it off when working, it got dirty, sweat on, banged around, slipped under dirty work gloves… And it came through all of that without any damage to speak of. It didn’t even scratch the band, much less the screen.”
Some did report a few minor issue though, such as the ‘always on screen’ being “bothersome to wear to bed because it lights up every time it’s moved – like when rolling over in your sleep”. Another posted a photo and claimed: “Glass already scratched just from normal use”.
However, the overall impression of this smartwatch was glowing. Another five-star shopper said: “This is my first venture into the world of smart watches but this thing is really amazing for what it’s capable of.”
And, one more added: “The battery lasts a super long time (about a week for my use) and the watch is waterproof, so no worries in the shower or in the pool. This is an excellent smartwatch, which I recommend not only for design but also for performance.”
