The global smartwatch market is on track to surpass $96 billion by 2027. Fitness brands, healthcare companies, and consumer electronics OEMs are racing to capture their share — and the ones winning are those who moved fast with a trusted manufacturing partner.


Custom Smartwatch


We are a factory-direct custom smartwatch manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China, specializing in full-spec OEM and ODM production for three high-growth verticals: fitness & sports, healthcare & medical monitoring, and branded OEM/ODM programs. With low minimum order quantities, rapid lead times, and comprehensive CE/FCC certification, we help brands of every size get to market faster and smarter.



Who We Build For


🏃 Fitness & Sports Brands

If you're building a fitness brand, your smartwatch needs to do more than count steps. Today's athletes and health-conscious consumers demand real-time workout tracking, accurate heart rate zones, GPS route mapping, and seamless app integration — all wrapped in hardware that looks and feels premium.

We manufacture custom fitness smartwatches with:

  • Continuous heart rate monitoring (optical PPG sensor)
  • SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) tracking
  • Built-in GPS + GLONASS for outdoor route tracking
  • Multi-sport modes (running, cycling, swimming, HIIT, yoga, and more)
  • Up to 10-day battery life with optimized power management
  • IP68 waterproof rating — pool and open water ready
  • Custom silicone, nylon, or leather strap options in any Pantone color

Your branding — logo, color palette, watch face design, and companion app — is built in from day one, not bolted on afterward.

Fitness brands we're ideal for: boutique gym chains, sports nutrition companies, running clubs, cycling brands, outdoor adventure gear brands, wellness subscription services.


🏥 Healthcare & Medical Monitoring

The demand for remote patient monitoring and consumer health wearables has fundamentally changed what a smartwatch must do. Whether you're serving clinical environments, telehealth platforms, elder care facilities, or direct-to-consumer health brands, your device must perform reliably — and comply with international standards.

  • ECG (single-lead electrocardiogram) — with raw data export capability
  • SpO2 continuous monitoring — suitable for respiratory and sleep apnea use cases
  • Skin temperature sensor — trending and alert-based monitoring
  • Stress & HRV (Heart Rate Variability) analysis
  • Fall detection — critical for senior care applications
  • Medication & appointment reminders
  • Optional 4G LTE connectivity for real-time data transmission without a paired phone

On the software side, we provide:

  • HIPAA-aware data handling architecture
  • SDK and API access for integration with your existing health platform or EHR system
  • White-label iOS/Android app with configurable health dashboards
  • Cloud data storage and alert management portal
