Review: A good option, especially for the smaller wrist. - Only
received this on Sunday 15th Mar, so this is my experience after
one day. I'll try to follow up after longer ownership. First
impressions have been quite good. The watch is nice on the wrist
and being '40mm' sits nicely on my smaller wrist. The silicone
strap is soft and doesn't irritate,I haven't tried the brown
strap yet, but again it feels reasonably soft. I may look at
getting a Nato style strap at some point as I prefer that style.
The app seems to do everything needed, covering most sports that
I'll be unlikely to use but nice to have. The watch itself is
clear and fairly responsive to the touch. I haven't used it to
answer a call yet, but when I did get a call the watch is loud
and the vibration would be enough to indicate a call if it was on
silent. There's a good selection of free watch faces and also a
lot of paid for faces. The cost for them isn't high but not sure
i'd ever pay for one. The step counter seems to work okay,
although I can't say at this point how accurate it is. Same with
the heart rate, sleep and stress indicators, they look
interesting but no idea how accurate they are. I'll look at
testing this maybe at a later date. One thing that doesn't seem
to be reported in the selling literature is the actual size of
the display. The watch is sold as 40mm, but the actual display is
33-34mm. Not a lot of difference but it makes for quite a thick
'bezel' around the outside of the watch face. This isn't an issue
for me as I didn't want a diner plate sized watch, but something
to be aware of when buying. The battery seems to be holding up
quite well. It was on 91% when it arrived, I charged it fully and
at the time of writing this it's at 73%. However, as it's new,
I've been messing about with all the options and configurations,
so would expect it to drop a little more than in everyday use.
I've given it 5 stars based on my limited usage, however we'll
see how it goes in the long term.
Review: A great watch for a great price with all the features I
need. - Having tried various watches from £40 to £130, this is
the best I've found. It's the only one where the actual size
comes even close to the claimed size (and in all other cases,
that was a deal breaker for me)! So lets get clear what the
measured dimensions of this watch are: lug to lug 47mm, case
diameter 43mm, dial diameter 31mm, thickness 9/10mm. I'm not sure
about the raised pins on the magnetic charger, but it works well
and takes around 130 minutes to charge from ~5% to 100% which is
excellent. Battery life for me (bearing in mind, that the biggest
consumers of battery is display illumination and blutooth
communication) is excellent for the first charge of 8 days.
Bearing in mind that when you first set up a watch, invarariably
you fiddle with settings, turn everything on then settle down to
just having on the features you want to use, so recharge interval
ought to go up. I purchased the slate grey model with black
silicone wristband. The description says the case material is ABS
plastic and it has a pleasing finish and the crystal has a gently
bezelled edge. Unlike some other stainless steel models, the
weight is only ~46 grams. One of the larger stainless steel
models I trialled weighed 132 gms. If you are intending to
monitor sleep profile then the weight on your wrist can be
significant. Also if you turn over in bed suddenly, a heavy watch
might be a risk for your night time partner! I specifically
wanted a watch with an analogue dial with a clear display. The
analogue option that comes as standard is excellent: the second
sweep is picked out in red and like an old watch has a date
window. There is a red pip which appears on the 12 if you have
any messages. Swiping up on the display brings up a thumbnail of
any messages or emails, double tapping displays the whole message
and there is a dustbin to remove any thumbnails from the watch
but not your phone. There is an option to turn on the display
when raising the wrist and the length of on-time is selectable.
Alternatively pressing the button has the same effect. The
raising the wrist feature is a little annoying at night as the
display is quite bright. A feature to disable it between say 11pm
and 5am would be nice although I just pull down the settings menu
and toggle it off. If you need the time at night, pressing the
button continues to work. I am particularly interested in health
data (not sports or fitness) just the obvious: steps, sleep
function,heart rate, calorie consuption (not sure about this one)
stress and SpO2. There are others that require you to enter data
in manually but I'm not interested in those. The app on my
android phone is excellent. The various items come up in a tile
format and tapping the tile brings up a more detailed display of
the information with the abilty to review previous days and on
some a running average. Whereas I'm sure I can subscribe and pay
for more features, the free ones are all I need and there is not
a constant ticker coming up suggesting I subscribe. (unlike the
fitbit that this has replaced). I've used the phone feature which
appears to work well but not something I'm drawn to. I've opted
in to the 2 year warranty and all in all I'm very satisfied with
it. I got it for £40 which 5* VFM and features. Battery life for
me is ~8 days so very happy.
