Archos is planning to launch a basic smartwatch in the summer for just $50.

It is going to look plastic and probably simple. Archos expect it to relay notifications from your phone and allow you to control music playback. The display will be a 1.55-inch non-capacitive e-ink screen.

But maybe this low price will help create a bigger market for such devices. I am still to be convinced by any watch as people just don’t wear one.
