Why we love this deal

We love a good smartwatch here at TheStreet, though we love a great deal even more. Electronics and wearables can get pricey out there, sure, but you can save a lot of money if you know where to look. Many smartwatches from small, lesser-known manufacturers offer all or most of the same features as the name brands. And there's no end of great options out there when it comes to color and style at the big online retailers.

Right now, Walmart has a Flash deal on a gorgeous $180 IKT Smartwatch with a steel band: it can be yours today for just $31. That's a total discount of $149.

Why do shoppers love it?

This smartwatch comes with the timepiece case itself, which is made of ABS thermoplastic and zinc alloy with a glass crystal, two separate bands, one steel and one silicone, a magnetic charging cable, and a handy product manual. The watch is equipped with over 120 preset sports modes, more than 200 personalized dials and themes, and a 1.2-inch round touchscreen.

It's got a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which takes about two hours to fully charge, and you can get up to 10 days of normal use or 30 days of standby time on a single charge cycle. The S82 has a waterproof rating of IP68, which will keep out rain, a small amount of water, and dust for a limited period of time. Pair it to all your favorite Android or iOS devices using Bluetooth 4.0, and you can use it to take calls and receive important message notifications on the go.

“This watch is well worth the price,” said one reviewer. “I pondered over the purchase for a couple weeks, but I finally gave in and bought it — and it's very well worth it. It holds a charge for days, and it's never uncomfortable, even if I sweat.”
