Doogee has launched the Anywise W1, an affordable smartwatch aimed at consumers seeking a rugged design similar to Garmin’s Fenix line but at a lower price point. The watch features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, a zinc-alloy body and prominent external screws, giving it a notably “Fenix-like” appearance. In its promotional material, Doogee said the device is “water-resistant up to 5 ATM,” aligning it with common standards for swimming and shallow diving.
The Anywise W1 is priced about $20 below the Anywise W1 Pro and remains in a limited pre-order phase, though the company expects deliveries to begin soon. Despite the modest price gap, Doogee has drawn clear lines between the two models, most notably in memory and storage. The W1 Pro includes more RAM and 2 GB of internal storage, compared with the base model’s 256 MB. “This also results in functional differences,” the original article noted, “as the base variant cannot support offline maps.”

Without offline mapping, the W1 relies on a connected smartphone for navigation, though it does include dual-band GNSS capable of working with multiple satellite systems. This offers location accuracy that is unusually strong for a device in its price tier, positioning it as a budget option for users who want positioning capabilities but do not require standalone mapping.
The smartwatch supports heart rate and blood oxygen measurements, as well as stress tracking through its optical sensors. A built-in microphone and speaker allow it to function as a Bluetooth hands-free device, while access to digital assistants adds further convenience. The company appears intent on offering a broader feature set than typical entry-level smartwatches, even if some capabilities are trimmed.

At 13.7 mm thick and equipped with an LED light, the Anywise W1 leans heavily into the rugged aesthetic that has helped premium outdoor watches stand out. While the device undercuts major-brand competitors by a wide margin, its limitations underscore a clear strategy: offer flagship styling and essential features, while leaving advanced functions to the higher-priced W1 Pro.
