   <section class="page">
<p>The Alcatel Onetouch Watch isn’t snazzy-beautiful, and it’s not packed with features. But at only $150, it’s one of the cheapest smartwatches you can buy—and that might seal the deal if you’re merely smartwatch-curious instead of smartwatch-confirmed.</p><p>It’s sort of like a clip-on tie, or a Barbie bike (http://www.walmart.com/ip/16-Barbie-Girls-Bike/20658126) with training wheels.

The Alcatel Watch—which pairs with any iPhone from 4S to 6 Plus, and any Android phone running 4.3 and later—can put you in the smartwatch game without a major investment.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2909972/alcatel-onetouch-watch-review-a-cheap-smartwatch-with-training-wheels.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
