Pros
Price – This is an affordable smartwatch.
Design – In my opinion, this watch offers an attractive design.
Display – The watch has a large and clear display with big digits.
Synchronization with the smartphone – The time & date synchronizes easily with the smartphone, so you don’t have to adjust them from the watch.
Battery life – It is expected to last 6-12 months, which is by far much more compared to normal smart watches/bracelets.
Cons
Materials – The materials used in this watch are very simple.
It isn’t that smart after all – The “smart features” featured are the minimum that I encountered so far in a Bluetooth smartwatch.
Basic app – The app (“Xwatch”) is a simple app that doesn’t have anything special about it (As of this moment, it received only 2.5 / 5 grade on “Google Play” store).
I didn’t manage to use some of the app’s features – The reminders & camera shutter features didn’t work for me up to this moment.
User manual – very long (18 pages), very small fonts that makes it hard to read.
Replacing the battery – To replace the battery, you need to open the watch, unlike real smartwatch that you can charge using a USB connection or wireless charging.
Not so comfortable band – The band is not as comfortable as I remembered with the SKMEI 1142. While wearing this watch, I felt a pressure in the buckle’s area.
The control buttons – The 4 control buttons aren’t intuitive to control, and I’m not sure everyone will be able to cope with it easily.
Overall Verdict
Affordable Bluetooth smartwatch that looks good, but isn’t too smart.
