    Probably mentioned before but having owned the Black variant for a week now and running on Android app, here are some thoughts to help you with decision making..

    • Pedometer is pretty unreliable. 20% give or take when compared against Fitbit/Apple Watch
    • Black strap is a dust magnet, good thing is that you can wash it since it is silicone, but then it continues attracting dust thereafter
    • Sleep tracking is pretty poor. I've had days where I've tracked 200% (16 hour) sleep goals although I had been active
    • Heart rate monitor is measured using your bluetooth-linked phone camera+flash. Unreliable as well.

    It is a good price for an average/below average performing watch.. But for those who are actually mindful of your data, you're better off with a Fitbit, Huami, or a XiaoMi.

      20% … Fitbit/Apple Watch

      But neither of those are accurate devices.

      Sleep tracking is pretty poor.

      People keep pretending that this is a real thing despite having to tell their device when they're going to sleep. From there they pretend it tracks R.E.M. sleep which is done by reading the frequency of the brains electrical signals when people aren't pretending, it's ludicrous.

      Heart rate monitor … Unreliable as well.

      Along with every other wrist mounted optical HRM. The best in class of these device have 30% inaccuracy or in other words it's useless.

      • Apocsky on 22/05/2018 - 21:28

        1. Given that people have experimented and found Fitbit and Apple devices to be within 10% accuracy, an additional 20% makes it even more far off.

        2. Have you actually used any of these devices that features sleep tracking? They are usually pretty accurate and definitely does not need you to "tell their device when they're going to sleep". What are you using? A sleep tracking app on your phone?

        3. This watch doesn't even feature a HRM of any sort. It merely uses your phone camera as a guesstimate.

        Thanks for your over-the-top criticism, but I only came in with the intention of informing people before they think they're getting away with a bargain, only to end up in dismal disappointment

          @Mttogo96: Yeap, I agree! But as I mentioned before my comment was targeted at those who were looking towards all the other tracking capabilities of the watch.

          Hope yours has been serving you well!

      I use it with my iPhone. Works fine. Pairing is easy, you can link it with the Health app, but how reliable it is I have no idea and I haven't really cared. Notifications are limited to certain apps and incoming calls/messages.
      Overall it's ok as a watch, but nothing special. I do like not having to charge it every day, and that it is waterproof for the shower. For $30AUD I would buy it, but I wouldn't spend much more.

    (Allow app installs from non-store locations, download on device and run).

    I've had mine for about a week now.

    My updated thoughts:

    Nice looking. Size is just right. Manual is chinese so I don't know what the button does exactly. Adjusting the time is automatic as it sinks to your phone's clock, though it is slow in adjusting. This gives it the precision of a digital watch while being analog. If you wear an analog watch you probably have to adjust the time by 5 minutes every few months. You shouldn't have to with this. At least I hope not.

    The battery life is one year (if that is to be believed), which is better than any fitness tracker. It's not rechargeable though. To replace the battery you're going to need to go to a watch repair kiosk, unless you have the tools. Getting the lid open isn't hard if you have a knife. Putting it back on will require tools only they have. This is the case with most expensive watches. It's nice not having to worry about recharging it every night, forgetting to charge it, or forgetting to put it back on after charging.

    After the second day wearing it, the pin already came loose and the band fell off. The watch dropped to the ground. I don't think the pin is long enough to sit securely in there. Dropping it did not scratch the screen, so the glass is at least decent.

    The silicone (?) band is a dust magnet.

    The Lenovo app is buggy, make it of very limited use as a fitness tracker. It's the only way to see your steps since you can't read it off the watch. But the recording is bugged. Some days it recorded nothing at all. I think the app crashed, but did not notify you, so you didn't know it had crashed until you opened the app. If you didn't open the app, you wouldn't know. But when you do open it, you realize that the last 5 days since it crashed, it recorded none of your activity. Being a side loaded app, you're never going to get auto updates to it either. Why Lenovo didn't put it on the play store is a mystery to me.

    Before it crashed, one day it recorded me having done 10,000 steps. But when I later checked it that same day, I was down to 3300 steps. How did I lose all those steps?

    In summary, worth it for $30? Yes. If you want a watch, why not. I can tell the time better than I could on my Mi Band 2 which was unreadable much of the time indoors, and all of the time outdoors. Don't expect a good fitness tracker from it though. But for $30, getting a nice looking watch and a reliable fitness tracker is probably too much to ask.

    I will probably not wear it past the year the battery lasts. To replace it will cost me close to the price of a new watch. It's a good experiment for a year and I won't feel cheated out of $30.

    • ekswhyzed on 22/05/2018 - 21:50

      Thanks for this quite in depth review. I saw a video showing off the app and there seems to be limited options for app notifications, can you confirm how many apps can send notifications to the watch?

      • Fybre on 22/05/2018 - 22:02

        On the iPhone it is:
        Incoming Calls
        Messages
        QQ
        WeChat
        Tencent weibo
        Weibo

        I don't know what you are trying to get out of your watch as far as notifications. It has no digital screen. It can't ping either. Don't treat it as though it's a smart watch like a Gear or Apple watch. You're not going to be able to see your texts on it or who's calling. I don't think it can even vibrate when you get a notification, though I haven't fully explored the possibility.

        It has an alarm which makes it vibrate softly (not likely to wake you up though) so the potential is there. I'm just not sure if it can. It doesn't do that for me, and I've given it all of the permissions it asked for.

        • froodh on 23/05/2018 - 14:10

          It has an alarm which makes it vibrate softly (not likely to wake you up though)

          The app makes my phone make a musical tone (same as the phone locator function) so that wakes me up, even if the vibrate does not.
          Haven't worked out how to silence the phone yet, even with all other sound controls turned down.

        • lostn on 23/05/2018 - 17:11

          @froodh: Your phone can already do that without your watch you know..

    • macrocephalic on 22/05/2018 - 22:04

      What sort of back does it have that requires special tools to fit?

      • lostn on 22/05/2018 - 23:43

        It's a pretty standard cover. There are no screws. To open it, you have to pry it open.

        It's not going to close that simply though.

        Here's the tool you will need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX1xvoAQXsg

        It's actually not that expensive. But you aren't likely to own one unless you fix watches, because it isn't something you're going to be using all the time.

          I found that stacking about 5 50cents coins and putting your body weight on it usually pop the back cover back into place nicely.

        • lostn on 22/05/2018 - 23:57

          @iamnotintheuk: Yeah I'd rather not risk damaging the watch.

          Use the right apparatus.

        • macrocephalic on 23/05/2018 - 11:58

          @iamnotintheuk: Yeah, put it on a flat surface with a slightly soft finish (eg: towel on a table) and press it on with your thumbs.

        • lostn on 23/05/2018 - 17:10

          @macrocephalic: That's not going to produce enough force to snap it back in. Believe me I've tried. If it was doable, they wouldn't have tools made for this.

      This gives it the precision of a digital watch while being analog. If you wear an analog watch you probably have to adjust the time by 5 minutes every few months. You shouldn't have to with this. At least I hope not.

      UPDATE: I just compared the time on the watch to the phone. It is already off by 5 seconds after a week.. looks like it won't be as accurate as a digital watch after all and will need to be resync'd regularly.

      It goes off by about 1 sec a day, which is standard for a low priced analog watch.

      • mister_snrub on 23/05/2018 - 11:45

        Quartz analogue watches have essentially the same accuracy as quartz digital watches:
        http://forums.watchuseek.com/f9/accuracy-difference-btw-quar…

        Because the time keeping part of the watch is the same in both.

        In fact, the highest accuracy quartz watches tend to be analogue watches. This is because watches with high accuracy movements are quite expensive and people spending lots of money on a watch usually prefer an analogue diplay.

        • lostn on 23/05/2018 - 20:04

          I didn't know that. Not a watch expert. I guess it makes sense.

          I'm used to digital watches on my smart watch, phone, computer, console, handheld gaming device, etc. Those are accurate.
