A70 Smart Watch: The Everyday Wearable Saudi Shoppers Are Choosing for Back-to-School Season

Back-to-school shopping in Saudi Arabia this year leans heavily into technology and connected devices, and wearables are one of the categories parents keep returning to — partly for step tracking and reminders, partly for the simple reassurance of a notification buzz when a child or teenager is out of arm's reach.

How it compares to the obvious alternative

The obvious alternative is a premium smartwatch running a full app ecosystem, but that comes with a price tag several times higher and battery life measured in a single day. The A70 takes the opposite approach: a simpler feature set — calls, notifications, heart rate and step tracking, multi-day battery life — at 172 SAR. That tradeoff makes sense for students, first-time smartwatch users, or anyone who wants the basics without charging a device nightly.

Where it falls short of premium options is app depth and screen quality under direct sunlight, which matters if you're often outdoors at midday. For evening wear, gym sessions, or daily step goals, that's rarely an issue.
