1.0 out of 5 starsWatch 1 - Good initially, but then has battery charging issues
Reviewed in Australia on 23 December 2020
EDIT - 29th Jan 2021 - just over 2 months of use. Battery does not seem to want to take a charge. Low battery warning comes on at around 15% battery level, hook up the charging cable and the watch says fully charged (100%). Remove the charge cable, and within 10 seconds, plummets down to 12-15%. Left it on charge for 4 hours, disconnected the charge cable, and same deal - Low Battery warning. Reset watch, un-paired watch and re-installed app numerous times, still no change. Will be returning for a refund.
Great value for money with this watch. Pairs up easily, and SoundPeats Sports app works well. Battery life about 5 days with notifications and HR monitoring. Turning off HR monitoring will almost double the battery life. Comfortable to wear with ample adjustment available. Watch face is bright and clear, good resolution and colours. Pedometer is not 100% accurate, but its close enough. The watch vibrates quite strongly, so you’ll never miss a notification. In regards to the notification, the screen isn’t quite large enough to get the entire message in (no scrolling), so you’ll have to still pick up the phone.
All in all, a very easy to use watch with great value for money. Looks good, and does all the basic stuff that I need. I’d recommend this watch any day of the week.
