Review on 🌟 Blackview Smartwatch for Android and iOS Phones - All-Day Activity Tracker with Heart Rate Sleep Monitor, 1.3" Full Touch Screen, 5ATM Waterproof Pedometer - Smartwatch for Men and Women by Ashton Dahmer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Comfortable to wear, easy to use, good battery life, limited customization

The watch is very light and comfortable thanks to the included smooth and soft rubber strap. I like that the strap has a quick release feature so it's easy to change. The display looks good, and while it's not the sharpest or brightest, it's easy to read outdoors in bright sunlight. The watch's battery life is great, I can last several days (maybe a full work week) on a single charge, and the magnetic charger works great too. Although it's made of plastic, it feels comfortable. However, I would wish the crown had more functionality as it is nothing more than a button that toggles the screen on and off. Pairing the watch with my phone is easy and hassle free. The interface is simple but easy to navigate, with swipe and tap gestures working great. The icons are intuitive, although I feel like the graphics look dated and a bit simplistic rather than as polished as modern mobile design, but it gets the job done. I wish it had a little more customization so I could turn off features I don't use and put the icons and features I use more often in a more convenient place for me. Music controls are very limited and hidden in other settings that require two movements. The watch face is limited and unfortunately you cannot add more of what is included or customize it. The watch has heart rate and step tracking. It also provides information on calories burned and distance, and has several preset workout modes. I'm not sure how accurate the information will be, but given that this isn't a full fitness bracelet, I think the information provided is more of a reference for providing some health and fitness information. The included VeryFitPro app has a nice and clear user interface. He gives good information. I haven't spent much time using it or monitoring its accuracy. I like that it can sync data with Google Fit. I don't like notifications on my watch because they look like old flip-phone-era text messages. However, I have no problem getting message notifications on the watch, unfortunately the watch doesn't allow me to send a quick reply. I like the wrist detection feature, the screen turns on when I shake my wrist. However, I find it a little slow as it takes about a second for the screen to wake up and it doesn't always work. Also, I'd like to see an option to adjust the screen timeout from the current 10 seconds. Overall I think the watch is a simple device that will help you keep track of time, send notifications and also offer some health and fitness tracking on a budget.

Pros
  • Exercise & Fitness
Cons
  • Big and chunky
