Rollme has officially launched the GT5S, a new GPS smartwatch designed to deliver high navigation accuracy and long battery life at an affordable price. This release arrives just before the year-end shopping season, aiming to attract outdoor enthusiasts who want reliable performance without overspending. The GT5S also features a comprehensive health monitoring suite, making it a versatile companion for various fitness activities.
The watch is currently available with a special holiday discount, priced at just $40, positioning it as one of the most budget-friendly GPS watches on the market with dual-band GNSS capability. This competitive pricing strategy enhances its appeal among users seeking value and functionality in wearable devices.
Sleek Design and Outdoor-Ready Display
Rollme designed the GT5S with a compact polycarbonate case measuring 44.5 x 44.5 x 11.9 mm. Despite its modest size, the smartwatch feels solid on the wrist and weighs only 46 grams without the strap. This lightweight construction ensures comfort during extended wear, whether in sports or daily activities. The included silicone strap has a soft, anti-slip texture that remains stable even during sweaty or intense workout sessions.
The device features a 1.46-inch LCD LTPS display with a 360 x 360 resolution, offering sharp text and icons at approximately 280 PPI. Importantly, the screen remains easily readable under direct sunlight, a critical factor for outdoor users needing clear visibility without strain.
Power-Efficient Performance and Robust Battery Life
Equipped with the ATS3085L chipset, the GT5S balances power efficiency and stability for fitness tracking and notification handling. It comes with 128 MB RAM and 256 MB internal storage, sufficiently responsive for everyday use. The highlight is its 800 mAh battery, providing active usage endurance up to 10 to 14 days. In basic watch mode, battery life can extend impressively to 75 days. A magnetic pogo-pin charger refills the battery fully within about two hours.
Advanced Connectivity and Software Updates
The watch supports Android devices from version 6.0 and iOS from version 11.0 onwards. Connections are maintained through Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring stable and low-power communication with smartphones. Users can receive over-the-air firmware updates via a companion app, allowing incremental improvements and feature enhancements over time. Though lacking a built-in camera, the GT5S can remotely trigger the phone camera shutter, facilitating hands-free photos.
Precise Navigation with Dual-Band GNSS
One of the GT5S’s standout features is its integration of dual-band GNSS technology, a rarity in its price segment. It utilizes six satellite constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS, and IRNSS. This multi-constellation support increases location accuracy, especially in challenging environments like hilly terrain or dense urban areas. Additional navigation sensors, such as a digital compass, altimeter, and barometer, add versatility suited for hiking, cycling, and other outdoor sports.
Comprehensive Fitness Tracking with 100+ Sports Modes
The smartwatch offers more than 100 sports modes including running, cycling, swimming, and weight training. It tracks steps, distance, calories, and heart rate in real time. Users also benefit from SpO2 monitoring, sleep analysis, movement reminders, breathing exercises, and music control. All health data sync smoothly with the companion app, enabling users to monitor their fitness progress accurately.
Additional utilities include video watch faces, wrist photo gallery, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarms, and application notifications. While the GT5S does not support LTE connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity efficiently manages message and call alerts.
Availability and Color Options
The Rollme GT5S is offered in three strap colors: Midnight Black, Sport Orange, and Tactical Camo. It comes in a single memory configuration of 256 MB. The holiday promotional price of $40 makes this smartwatch highly accessible for budget-conscious consumers looking for a feature-rich GPS wearable.
With its solid design, impressive battery endurance, and precise navigation technologies, the Rollme GT5S represents a compelling choice for fitness and outdoor enthusiasts who want advanced functionality at a minimal cost.
