i’m looking for a watch that’s cheap but something that’s pretty recent, like it has 4g support but also a newer Android version (android 8/9 is fine)
from what ive seen the most common smartwatches that have android are those that have the design of an apple watch ultra
S100 the best out there for me.Chinese version a winner with workarounds for google etc
and where can i find this supposed S100 Chinese version smartwatch? from what i can tell there’s little to no info on this that makes it identifiable, as searching for it brought up other smartwatches that also share the same name
Found exactly what I needed on Alibaba — check out this product! 
2026 S100 Ultra Smart Watch GPS NFC for Call Fitness Tracker Sports Android IOS IP67 Waterproof | Alibaba.com
also are there any other similar watches out there that are easier to find?
do they not sell these on aliexpress?
Yes but for £ 130
been in touch with the ‘manufacturer’ about his one, https://szhhtech.m.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.details.0.0.3cb2710fn99DD2&wx_navbar_transparent=true&wx_screen_direc=portrait&productId=1601764187855&from=detail_company_card
they’ve confirmed it does not have band 20 for LTE, though can be customised with band 20 for a bulk order
the chip always support everything just to enable or not
