Review on Collasaro Android Smartwatch: Waterproof Fitness Watch with Blood Pressure, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep & Step Tracker for Men and Women by Adam Noorzay

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Firstly it was a great basic smartwatch

Firstly it was a great basic smartwatch but I ended up returning it. You can receive Facebook notifications, text messages, calls and WhatsApp messages right on your wrist. However, you can't answer any of them, which I don't really care about. More serious was the lack of other social media notifications. Even if you receive Facebook notifications, Facebook (Messenger) messages are not supported. That was a big reason I sent it back. Most of the time I get contacted via SMS and instant messengers and only getting one of those was a huge disadvantage for me. Second, there are features. The watch has a remote camera and counts steps/distance, calories burned, sleep, heart rate, blood pressure, SO2, alarms (up to 3 settings per app). All of this is graphed in the app so you can see how your activity compares to the previous days on a day. I rarely found myself using the heart rate, BP, SO2, or alarm functions. So these features were a bit unnecessary for me. For a sports watch, these are great features even when you're not using them, but another downside is the lack of a stopwatch. With all of these features, I have a feeling a stopwatch will be included. The watch is also advertised as a sports watch. Third, it's design. The watch was light, sat comfortably on my wrist and didn't move. There are 3 different view time layouts and you switch between them by tapping the screen. They are not installed through the app. The app's only function (in my experience) is to track your stats (steps, O2 blood pressure, etc.) between days and set an alarm. The customization of the clock style is done through the clock and the possibilities are very limited (only 3 layouts). Also, the watch isn't a full touchscreen, there's a spot at the bottom of the watch where you can touch to clear messages, switch styles, and cycle through different functions. Think of this place as your phone's home button, only for this watch it's the only button. When cycling, there is no way to go back. So if you're looking for a BP and you get past it, you'll have to go through everything else to get back to the BP. This can be a little annoying when you're in a hurry and don't have time to touch your watch 5 or 6 times. After all, the entire watch face isn't the entire screen. There is plenty of space at the top and bottom of the dial. The screen is a small square screen and the rest of the bezel is unused except for the bottom touch area as I said. All in all, this is a great watch for beginners. If you are looking for something stylish and sporty. However, the lack of functionality did not meet my needs. But if you're looking for something simple to take calls and texts and keep fit throughout the day, then this is your watch. The price was great and it arrived fairly quickly and on time. And for the record, I paired this watch with an Iphone 6s.
