I bought the watch in 50% discount, for about 1 650,- kc it is a bit expensive accessory to the costume, if I would buy it for full price, I would return it the next day, but this way I will still find some use for it. The watch offers an interesting design, well designed hardware control and a certain durability. They are good as emergency semi-handsfree, they tell time, and they can measure body functions. Unfortunately, they bring with them some incomprehensible things.
- Connection to the phone has to be done manually, by pressing a button in the menu, if they disconnect (when BT signal is lost they do not automatically reconnect when they are in range), and when disconnected they do not give any notification. In addition, the home screen apparently does not even have an indication of connection to the phone. This is a big problem, because one of the main reasons why I buy smart devices on my hand is notifications, especially incoming phone calls. If I can't be sure that the watch is keeping the connection and not letting me know it has lost it, I can't even rely on the fact that no one is calling me, because the watch just won't tell me.
- notifications also don't happen if the watch is in sleep mode
- the watch has a menu that is duplicated by a shortcut screen (the content of which can be set), but both contain basically the same options and both menus are accessible in approximately the same way, but the shortcut menu does not contain any labels, only icons and these are not explained anywhere and honestly there are about two or three toggles that just do something but it is nothing that would be visible or manifested in any way and one that I suspect is probably a signaling to search for the mobile, but it does not call it with the fact that it must be enabled in the phone, the application in the phone does not ask for it and I did not find in the system where it should be.
- which leads to the manual, which is very basic and for example the shortcut menu is practically only mentioned as 'existing' but does not contain any description of the available functions
- the manual contains QA code for the online manual, which leads to a non-existent page
- the online manual, however, as far as I have been able to find, is identical to that one, but it does not offer any information on the retract, i.e. it does not actually contain any information
- the charger is a USB-C > magnetic connector, which is without a 'fence' like the Shokz headphones, so the charger has a big tendency to just fall off. The list of disadvantages also mentions the shortcomings of the basic functions, I would probably highlight two:
- music control can only do basic play/stop, next/previous. No playlist selection
- the watch contains a compass that shows north, +/- 90 degrees, when rotated 90 degrees it shows north 30 degrees different than two seconds before
- I don't have, or haven't found, the ability to adjust the UI so that my preferred screens are the first in order on the right or left. So if I want to name a song that is playing on my phone, it is easier to pull out the phone and switch the screen on the watch about 12 times. So is the watch worth 1645, - kc? No. But I will keep it as a fancy bracelet and possibly as a watch for the case when reliability on smart functions is not a priority, because it shows the time (probably) correctly.
