    Hi Dylan, apologies for the wait on replying! Their is an app that you download for the watch but it’s more of just a Bluetooth Connection app. Doesn’t really do much else I’m afraid. As for all the messages, the watch only seems to store messages it receives once it is set up/connected, It doesn’t actually transfer the rest of your messages from your phone. Basically if you received a message on your phone at 9pm but didn’t set the watch up or have it switched on until 9:05pm then the watch would only receive and store messages that were received after 9:05 and not any from before. Hope that makes sense! To be basically honest, it’s a nice watch but you get what you pay for. The battery isn’t the best and you can’t move to far away from your phone otherwise it will become disconnected. And I still can’t get the internet/twitter/WhatsApp to work on it either! :-( But in its defence, it tells the time and does do its job asking as you keep your phone nearby too!

    Barbara24kt Hi Barbara, I actually had it on the other day so it’s in my refreshed memory! But basically you take off the back cover, remove the battery and then you will see two slots. One with a black cover and one with a metal cover - use the one with the metal cover and place your SIM card onto the connections and slide the metal thing over it. Now I have a micro sim (very small) but it still works however if you want internet on the watch then from what I’ve gathered The watch only supports 2G, not 4g like modern sims. You can still make calls etc though! Hope that helps! I’m on a stag night btw so hope that made sense!!

  • @mcphoney

    5 жыл бұрын

    Hellen Gakuruh Hi Hellen, thanks for watching and commenting! to be honest when it comes to fitness watches, I’ve found that it’s better to spend a bit more as budget ones are not very reliable both in terms of data recording and battery life. Does it have to be a watch though or can it be just a fitness tracker? Watches tend to be more expensive and for one that does the job with fairly accurate readings I think you would end up spending around £80/$150. But fitness trackers can be picked up quite cheap now and are quite accurate too. Although I haven’t tested it I’ve been told good things about the Huawei Band 2 and this works with google fit too. But if it’s a watch then maybe something like the Garmen viviactive HR which is around $100. I did get another cheap fitness watch and was going to review it but haven’t got round to it yet. I’ve tried it though and I quite like it. I found it on a kickstarter website and it was only cheap ($30) but now trying to find it on the web it has gone up to around $80 which personally I don’t think it’s worth that much. Sorry I couldn’t give you a more definitive answer but basically it comes down to a few things. How accurate do you want the data? Do you want a fitness watch or fitness tracker? Do you want additional features like camera/etc. The V8 watch which I’ve reviewed in this video is nice and cheap but personally for fitness it isn’t that good. Here is a few links that may help though... www.wareable.com/sport/the-best-google-fit-compatible-apps-and-devices www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/dtdeals/cheap-fitbit-aternative/%3famp Hope they are some use, sorry about my very long answer!

    Nice video. I'm looking to get a smartwatch to basically act as an mp3/spotify player so I can download some tracks to it and leave my phone at home when I go for a run. Does this fit the bill and what would be a better option in the budget smartwatch market? Thanks.

  • @mcphoney

    @mcphoney

    5 жыл бұрын

    Hi Shane, thanks for watching and commenting! I’ll have to double check a few things but technically yes I think this watch should be capable of those things! Unfortunately however I don’t think you can have Spotify on it but you can just place all your desired mp3s onto a micro SD card and then play them from that. (like you said basically) 👌 You wouldn’t be able to make or receive calls/texts however unless you took your sim out of your phone and placed it into the watch every time you went for a run. But if you are like me you wouldn’t want to be disturbed whilst running anyways! Ha ha! And finally even though they say this watch is splash/rain proof...I doubt it really is. I could be wrong of course but it doesn’t look or feel it! So if you where running in rain you may have to keep an eye on it! So basically for an mp3 player then this can do that, it is a nice little cheap and cheerful watch but with a lot of features! I think though because it is so cheap I can’t fully trust it to be reliable, That’s the downside of it. For example even to this day I’ve still not managed to get Twitter/Facebook/internet to work on it!!! Now in terms of other budget smart watches to recommend this is where I get a bit lost I’m afraid. I’m going to be reviewing the DZ-09 budget watch soon but I’m willing to bet it is exactly the same as the V8. (From what I have seen the OS looks exactly the same as the V8)! I was also looking at the Zeblaze Thor Pro 4g watch for myself (and of course to review) as that looks very nice however at over £100 it’s no longer a “budget” smartwatch and is out of my price range! I did manage to grab a nice watch from a kickstarter campaign however that doesn’t play MP3s, it’s more of a fitness tracker really. If it played mp3s it would have been perfect for you! So I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help there. But basically if you can find the V8 watch somewhere very cheap then try it out. You haven’t got much to loose but of course you don’t want to just throw money away! However from what I have discovered, to get a fairly “ok” smartwatch that won’t go dead or malfunction too quickly then the price rises very quickly too! Hope that helps in some kind of way and of course makes sense! If not just let me know! (Apologies for the epic long reply too!!!)

    Shane Carr Thanks Shane, that is much appreciated. 👌 I think one of the best options for yourself maybe a TicWatch? The only problem is they are slightly over your budget. But the good news is that they are releasing the TicWatch 2 very soon so I’d imagine the original ones should hopefully drop in price. Fingers crossed! Now I haven’t tested one myself but from what I have heard they are good, reliable, look great and I’m pretty sure you can have Spotify on it too. (As well as google play if that’s any use)! You can get a few different models but if you google TicWatch I’m sure you should be able to find plenty of info. And I’ve always seen them on “top smartwatches” lists. If the price does go down it could be perfect! 👌

Hope that makes sense! As for network Ive tested two different ones here (o2 and EE) so I doubt it is locked to any particular network. Cant guarantee it but I think you will be fine! 👌

    I have this watch. Depending on use really. I can get a day if I use it for calls and texts (I only check texts, the screen keyboard is very small, although a stylus might be useful, dialling numbers and using the watch's phone is simplicity), obviously like a smartphone, the more you do, the bigger the battery drain. I do use it in conjunction with a Bluetooth headset as a remote control for music playback, that impacts but not too bad. There's an inbuilt "power saver" function, display brightness, display on time adjustment, so there are options. I just press the button to see the time, then the display goes black, that saves power. Hope that helps.

You do however get three options to choose from that are automatically in the watch. To select them go to settings>phone settings>display>wallpaper>system>static wallpaper, then you have a choice of a blank screen, a purple flower or a red flower. Is that what you meant? Hope that helps!

    Ahmed Drake Hi there! Good question! I’ve just tested it out and the answer is kind of yes but mostly no. You can operate the music/video that is playing on your phone via the watch. BUT...the sound will only come through the watch. Even on KZread, you can change the volume or skip the video...but again only with the sound coming from the actual watch and not the phone. Tried changing the settings etc but as soon as you disconnect, you loose operating the music/video via the watch and everything has to be done via the phone. Once you connect again, the sound just comes through the watch. hope that makes sense!!!

    I've got one of these (for Christmas) you can listen to a Bluetooth headset and use the phone as a "remote". All you have to do is, once you pair your Bluetooth headset on your phone, simply select your audio channel between phone, watch and headset. It's that easy....and works a charm (it also works for calls) .I'm using an LG G6 running oreo, and I can honestly say I've had no problems with the connectivity. I'm not a Facebook /twitter user, and I use duckduckgo on my mobile or tablet, so those functions don't bother me. As a smartwatch for checking texts, call info, playing music, using as a hands free, it's excellent. My wife got it for me as a stocking filler, I love it. I'm looking for a less bulky, but similarly featured one for her as she loves it too!

But it does tell the time though! Ha ha!
