Rogbid Launches $49.99 SpinR Smartwatch With Optical Scroll Wheel and 100+ Day Standby

Summary

  • $49.99 Rogbid SpinR is now official, bringing an optical scroll wheel in the side crown to a rugged-style smartwatch aimed at outdoor and gym use.
  • That wheel lets users navigate menus without touching the 1.7-inch, 360x360 display, while Bluetooth 5.4 handles connectivity and location tracking appears to rely on a paired phone rather than built-in GPS.
  • An 1100 mAh battery underpins Rogbid's 100+ day standby claim, though the figure likely reflects idle conditions instead of regular use with the screen and sensors active.
  • The watch uses a 51 mm zinc-alloy case, HX3918 heart-rate sensor, ST accelerometer, magnetic charging and IPX8 water resistance rated to 30 meters, with Orange and Black color options.
