TechLife Smart Watch P1 review: Budget-friendly smartwatch with great features but average battery life

TechLife

Here is TechTravelMonitor’s short review of the TechLife Smart Watch P1.

Affordable pricing with occasional discounts

The TechLife Smart Watch P1 has a suggested retail price of ₱2,999 in the Philippines, though you can regularly snag it for around ₱1,979 to ₱2,000 on Shopee during promos. 

That makes it a compelling option for anyone seeking smartwatch features without breaking the bank.

Touch control: handy but not flawless

The 1.43‑inch AMOLED display is crisp and responsive, and touch control works well for basic navigation.

However, it can feel slightly laggy or insensitive when swiping quickly through menus or notifications. It’s a minor annoyance but far from a dealbreaker—touch control remains useful for everyday use.

Intuitive side button enhances navigation

Complementing the touchscreen, the P1 includes a tactile side button that makes it easy to scroll through menus and apps without relying solely on touch. This combination—touch for selection and the side button for navigation—creates a smoother user experience than touch alone.

Battery life falls short of the hype

TechLife claims up to 5 days of battery life  , and light users may achieve that. Real‑world usage featuring GPS, notifications, and health tracking often depletes the battery in just 3–4 days.

Lacks some advanced features found in pricier smartwatches

While the P1 covers essentials—heart rate and SpO₂ monitoring, sleep tracking, built‑in GPS, Bluetooth calling, and even ChatGPT integration—it misses deeper app ecosystems, on‑device music storage, ECG, fall detection, and contactless payments.

If you need those advanced features, you’ll have to look at more expensive models.

Overall, this is a solid budget-friendly pick.

Despite some compromises—touch control quirks, battery longevity, and missing advanced features—the P1 delivers surprising value. 

The AMOLED display, GPS, water‑resistance, Bluetooth calls, and AI-powered watch faces (like ChatGPT support) are impressive at this price. 

For those seeking a reliable everyday tracker and notifier without splurging, the TechLife Smart Watch P1 is a compelling bargain.

The verdict

Great value for ₱2,000 to ₱3kl,000 range—just manage your expectations on battery life and premium features.
