Review on Blackview Smart Watch: GPS Running Watches for Men, Women, and Kids – Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate Monitor, 5ATM Waterproof. Compatible with iPhone & Android Phones. by Andrew Mack

uhhh Cheap. the best wearable tech

This was my first smartwatch experience, when I thought I could coordinate my life with my phone and track notifications, alerts, and things like heart rate, steps, and sleep mode. This watch only does that to the extent that its problems can be overlooked. Steps fall away. The heart rate is not recorded correctly. Sleep models record only one block of sleep per night. Notifications and alerts look pixelated and grainy, and there aren't any interface options other than that quirky UI that's completely different from the phone app. He said that I can change the watch face to a custom image. As far as I can see, that's a lie. There doesn't seem to be a way to view your health history unless you open the app on your phone, and that makes the watch pretty much useless. I thought this clock was made by the same great company that makes my DVR in my car. , but Blackview and Blackvue are different companies. I can't help but wonder if the choice of name here was a deliberate attempt at deception. Either way, this watch might be considered acceptable by some, but for techies and power users, just give it a tough pass.

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • Some flaws
