There are a lot \u2014 and I mean\u00a0a LOT\u00a0\u2014 of fitness trackers out there, many of which can provide a surprising amount of insight into your health and fitness. That being said, the bare-bones Casio WS-B1000<\/strong>, which is currently on sale at Amazon<\/a> and Walmart<\/a> for an all-time low of $39.10 (about $17 off), is not exactly one of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n At its core, the WS-B1000 is a lightweight wristwatch with some basic smarts, retro styling, and a few different color options. There\u2019s no optical heart rate monitor or fancy-schmancy OLED display, though it does boast an onboard accelerometer for tracking your steps, up to two years of battery life on a single CR2016\u00a0coin cell battery, and Bluetooth for pairing it with your phone. Doing so lets you view a basic activity log in the Casio app while ensuring you always have the correct time on hand (a wild concept, I know).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You get some basic wristwatch functionality as well\u00a0\u2014 including a stopwatch, a timer, and an alarm \u2014 but the appeal of the WS-B1000 isn\u2019t what it offers but what it lacks. For someone like me who\u2019s burnt out on push notifications and rarely tracks anything beyond steps, a cheap tracker with some Y2K vibes <\/em>is a welcome reprieve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
