Review on Diesel On Men's Fadelight Gen 4: A Stylish Smartwatch with Heart Rate, GPS, Contactless Pay, and Smartphone Notifications by Cristina Villanueva

Not bad for a Google Watch

I haven't found a smartwatch I really like yet, but it's probably the best of the few I've tried (I've never owned an Apple Watch). What I like most about this watch is that it's not as bulky and obtrusive as others I've used. My biggest complaint, as is usual with smartwatches, is that they have to be charged once a day. When exactly should we do this? Watches, especially smart ones, are probably most useful at night when you wake up and want to know what time it is or what your resting heart rate is. So maybe you need two smartwatches: one to wear while the other charges. While working from home during the pandemic lockdown, we use Google Chat a lot and it's fun to get notifications on my wrist every time someone types something in chat. I find the user interface of this watch a bit confusing. I suppose there is a manual somewhere that I should read, but I firmly believe that no user device should require reading the user manual in order to use it. It's funny to see how it shows my heart rate. Google bought FitBit and this watch is a FitBit device, if that helps. I managed to install Spotify on the watch but I have no idea what the Spotify app is supposed to do on the watch. As far as I can tell, the app can only connect to my iPhone, but for what purpose I have no idea.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Minor bugs
