Chinese Pebble Clone - Other SmartWatches

So I discovered a manufacturer in China that has started manufacturing a smart-watch that is plainly put a clone of the pebble. I just received today my production sample and am testing it. It's based on the EFM32 Cortex-M micro-controller. Bluetooth 4.0 BLE. The screen is Sharp Memory LCD. Battery 270 mAh , they claim battery life is over 10 days. Firmware is based on FreeRTOS and looks very similar to that on the Pebble. Watch has the same 4 buttons layout and the exact magnetic charger. Water resistance is rated IP 67. Tested it by tacking a bath. Even has the same issue with an easily scratch-able screen . Comes with 4 watch faces.
Here are some images :

These things go for 58 usd a piece. They haven't hit any sites like DealExtreme or Aliexpress yet.
This is the Android app used to connect to the watch if anyone wants to decompile it : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_0tZLvAcbvCYVVSaEQzVWpsZzQ/edit
Managed to find out that ZTE is selling this device under their brand : http://www.appchina.com/app/com.mtt.smartwatch/
It's exactly the same as this ZTE as I am curently using the ZTE app to connect to the watch.

the ZTE bluewatch looks a hell of a lot better?

This is basically the ZTE bluewatch in a different case.

Guess you'll need about 9 days to test the battery

It came with a half charged battery and it ran out of charge after 5 days.

Super anything else you've found out? Any other issues?
would you recommend it? :good:

Pretty hard not to recommend for 58 bucks. I found that on my Note 2 it sometimes looses Bluetooth connection after a few hours but doesn't seem to have this issue on the P6. The companion app for Android is just version 1.0 and has just been released last month so I am hopping there will be updates to solve this.

Manufacturer sent me an updated companion app that seems to have fixed the connection issues. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_0tZLvAcbvCR1pZcWw0OHdxcWQxQUt2bUFJczNRSXdtV3A0/edit
They claim to provide updates at least once a month.

Good news. :laugh:
can you use apps from the pebble apps store?
does this work as a stand alone watch? I.e. when its not connected to a device.

No you can't use the Pebble app's and yes it does work like a standalone watch , you can even completely shut down Bluetooth. Till now I'm quite impressed with the little guy. I'm now used to being able to see all my notifications on it and to control the music player. Pedometer is also kinda cool and the data syncs to the phone app.

same spec as the pebble

So without connected to a device you the the time, date, does the vibrating alarm work, any others functions?
Are the spec's exactly the same as the pebble with all the sensors and GPS?
The 10 day battery life is just fantastic. :good:
Thanks for the info' :good:

i'm writing right now a detailed review of the watch and will be posting it in a new thread.
Yes it has all the functions you would expect from a normal watch and they can be used without a phone , so you can set alarms.
Neither this nor the Pebble have GPS. But they do have an accelerometer.

The info' in the ClearDroid link watch comparison I posted is incorrect, its says it has a GPS.
can't wait for the review, mentioning all the 'stand alone watch' functions will be most helpful.

What sensor does a compass app use. d'you know?

Magnetic and it doesn't have that. The review is up.

The version I test here is only for Android. MIMI are saying they are working on a version for iPhone, but they can't say when it is ready. They are aiming for December. The cost is right now unknown, but I believe it will be around the same as this version.

Sorry I missed it but what is the cost of this current version?
On the IP67 test. The International Electrotechnical Commission requirements are 30min/1m. The IEC is the organization that makes the standards for the test/rating, so if it does not meet 30min/1m static immersion test then it can't technically be IP67. Just a heads up.
Thanks for reviewing it.

okay thanks for the info, but here http://aceeca.com/handhelds/ip67 it says
6 Totally protected against dust
7 Protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m
And if that's the case, it does fill the requirements. As it is water & dust-proof. Can be soaked more than 3 hours in 50cm deep water according to MIMI.

Max 3 days it seems.
looks nice, but also rather huge
and very disappointing to see the exact same crappy companion app
that came with the u8 and all those other clones
i assume you have to have either phone or media audio connected for the watch to work at all?

IEC 60529 (doesn't get any more official than this)
The link you posted is technically incorrect as the lowest point has to be at a depth of 1m. If the object is more than 850cm (can't remember exactly but it's in the pdf) tall then it requires 15cm from the top of the device to the surface of the water.

I just bought this smartwatch and waiting for delivery. Do you know if there will be more clockfaces ?
Btw, 3 days battery sounds good enough for me.

I have this watch almost two weeks now, very nice watch and the design look quality. The things that i notice is that, connection sometime disconnect and you need to connect it by your smartphone not like other models that the watch it self searching for the phone. Heartrate seems accurate. The liveview cam is laggy and not full screen. I hope they implement auto face detection most pics taken is blurry. Qwerty keyboard not a default handwriting is awful very slow. Sometime the watch is autorestarting so you need to pair it again thru you smarphone and open the apps. I hope they could update thebfirmware soon.

Battery is ok for a couple of days, BT connection is stable for me, but also depends on what phone you use and how strong the BT is on the phone. No idea about Lollipop, but I think it would work.
I have a OnePlus One, I owned rwatch m26, the app worked well with kitkat while with lollipop I had to use an alternative apk, SmartWear. Since you bought it there were updates? I found a blog that talks about a new firmware with the voice command, but the site mimi-hk says nothing. However, I think I'll buy, the transreflective display, the ability to watch the time or answer the call with the shake and ip67 are rare on this type of device. On Lightinthebox it's 89 euros + 13 for shipping, I think it's a good price. Thanks for your suggest

Mine apparently shipped from the warehouse on the 14th, and the Post Office dealt with it on the 17th (I only know this after badgering them on LIVE CHAT) but my tracking number is still not working. Apparently it can take a week after the Post Office have dealt with it for the tracking number to start working!

Yes I got it yesterday. And i am so disappointed. Disappointed because there is NO heart rate monitor at all! This option was the main reason why i decided to take it. Bluetooth connection between watch and sgn2 is dropping after few minutes. Both software - on watch and on phone is piece of s...! Only 2 watch faces: analog and digital.
This morning battery is already empty.
Screen looks good enough. Responsive touch. Clock i see is acurate. If it is true - it is sinchronysing with phone. There is simple control of media player: play stop forward backward and volume. It plays music directly on the watch. Sound is... listening at night when you are sleeping is more or less enough. There is no option to play music on phone.
I did not find how to control camera i couldn't take any picture. It looks like they payed attention to design of the watch - it looks good but else is left.

No I didn't say like that. It is more or less worth that money. I just bought not that one I wanted. I have read as much as i could find on internet about that watch. And a lot of places i have found info that this watch have heart rate monitor but in reality NOT. I cant figure it out how it happened. On the seller listing there were pictures showing like it is but not mentioned in the specification. So i can blame only myself for not clearing this question before bidding.
Later on i will post a few pics if you want.
And sorry for my English. I am doing my best.
Tell me please if you can see those pictures here:

I am sorry to hear this device is not what we probably all hoped for!! If it had remote camera working it would be worth me buying one. I do thank you for saving me the time,money and disappointment Sir.
Remote camera is working. I found finaly how it works.
I was wondering how can we use this smartwatch. I mean, what are the possibilities for it? Can I read incoming whatsapp on it? Mails?
That should be useful for me. Thanks!

how does it wear, comfortably or not?

It wears comfortably enough. And it is not so big like it looks. Silicon band is somewhere in the middle - not so hard and not so elastic. I have no problems with band. I have ordered gold color but I don't know... it looks for me like bronze, not polished or shiny.
Camera - NO there is NO camera on the board. That small window on the top of the watch is that what have tricked me. I was thinking that there is heart rate monitor but its not. There is NO nothing at all. I disassembled this watch and I am pretty sure.
One more thing. Yesterday I decided to try with another ROM on my SGN2. Installed "Android Revolution HD 31.0". Now I can tell that connection between SGN2 and this watch is much better than it was with Slim Colorz. During this day there were no interruption with watch.

[CLOSED] NO.1 G3+ smartwatch[MTK 2502][tethering watch][Rotating bezel]

NO.1 has released a new smartwatch G3+.
Apart from G3, this model is a tethering watch. You can answer phone calls via Bluetooth, but you can't insert sim card in it.
The most arractive thing is the rotating bezel. You can change watch face, apps, adjust volume, etc.
You can also add custom watchface even create watchface for it. Just go for the vxp face theard you can find everything you need.

Yep, 10 hours sounds about right. I find it disconnects if I put my arm behind my back, with my phone in the front pocket
I have updated it to the latest firmware( Feb 2017), mine was still on original December firmware, not had chance to try this firmware out properly to see if there are any improvements in battery etc.
I do like the watch to be fair, I only really use it as a 'dress watch' so the battery lifetime isn't as important to me.
Also noticed some of the latest watchfaces don't seem to work either, not sure why that would be.

Hi there, ten hour battery life is normal, but the bluetooth connectivity is not that bad. Please try to flash the latest firmware, the new firmware will solve this issue.

Anyone pre-order the Misfit Vapor?

It looks really cool, Amazon keeps having these flash sales on Amazon for $151. Right now you can pre-order it for $199 on their site. What do you guys think of it? Any-one get theirs yet?
https://misfit.com/products/misfit-vapor
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who ordered one/has one as well. Honestly, I'm stunned that a non-flat-tire, not ginormous, waterproof, android wear 2.0 smartwatch with a touch bezel is not getting more notice/media coverage.
It's like all the big review sites said, "Yeah, it's available on the 31st....so what. We had to wait for it too long, so we don't care". It's rather crazy in my mind. There are a few old reviews I can find (when the watch still ran the proprietary OS) but as far as I can find, there are no current reviews with the watch running AW 2.0. Why!?
I really hope some proud new owners chime in and let us know how the watch performs running AW, and some details on real-world use.
The only one that I've seen receive their's is this person. For $199 new, that's pretty good isn't it? A refurb Huawei watch one would cost me $150 at least.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MisfitVapor/comments/7ak9e0/i_received_my_vapor_and_am_willing_answer_any/
Oh, sweet! Good thread there with some pretty good initial info on the watch. Thanks for sharing the link.
Hi I just recieved mine last night and I am now looking around on the web for info/help with it. Ill give my first impressions of it here, Id like to be able to share my thoughts with Misfit so maybe they can take the feedback and improve it.
First off I am a formar Fitbit Surge user and liked it for the fitness attributes it had, before ordering the Vapor I bought a CHEAP $40 Kingware KW18 watch from China to see if id be ok wearing a larger watch such as these are. It had many short commings but also did some cool things.
First impression is the watch is well made and it has a great interface, I really like the touch navigation around the bezel.
Now for what I dont like about it:
- Heart rate monitor has to be manually activated each time and just does a short test. I want to have it on all the time and have the data graphed in the app, I understand that probably is a battery drainer but how about being able to turn it on during workouts so I know what my peak heart rate was riding my cycle up a huge hill for instance.
- Phone call answering - It lets you see an incomming call and decide to hang up or answer it from the watch, but if you answer it from the watch the call actually goes to the phone. You should be able to see the call and if your phone is handy answer it on the phone or if its not (say phone is in my pocket and i am driving) answer it on the watch and talk to the person through the watch as a speaker phone. THe cheap KW18 can do this.
- Displaying of info on the watch face - Id like to be able to select what info is displayed on the watchface, such as steps or calories burned. Seams simple enough, Fitbits, Garmins both can do this and is an expection for most people of a fitness watch.
- Sleep monitor, so I could be missing something when I set it up for this but when I synced it this morning it said I got zero sleep, gee I didnt feel that I got no sleep, I am tired but I did sleep some... If it cannot sense I am in a restful position on its on I hope it doesnt expect me to select something in the watch to say Im now sleeping....
- Charger - It is a non intrusive connection held onto watch with a magnet which is great but it doesnt stay on well at all. The cheap KW18 has a much better charger cable/interface.
- Misfit App - THis is on me as I could have downloaded this before hand and checked it out but basically it is pretty useless. Has very little info in it, does not food/water tracking and has no graphing ability that I could see. Will need to use the watch for a while to see if once there is data it then has graphs available with your daily/weekly/monthly activity...
Sorry to sound negitive but they tout it as a refined fitness watch but fitness is low on their prioritys from what I can see.

You can change the default watch face info at bottom of screen. Go to change face screen and click settings icon and you can change the 3 icons from in there to link to any app on watch incl Google Fit for steps, calories etc

Hi thanks I did manage to figure that out, a user manual would be nice. It still is not very accurate on the step counting and it isn't tracking sleep at all either.
~ Phil
I have a few to sell if anyone is interested
So update on my Vapor i was told by tech support it does not do sleep tracking at all and heart rate monitoring is a snapshot only when you trigger it.
Have no idea how they can tout the Vapor let alone Misfit as fitness focused.
Im sending mine back and looking at the Garmin vivoactive 3 or the Samsung S2.

Dual Processor-Dual OS with Kospet Optimus Smartwatch, Gimmick or Useful Feature?

The new Kospet smartwatch, Kospet Optimus Smartwatch, it has dual operating system and dual processor, it look like a good feature, but it could be just a gimmick and just little impact on the overall performance of the smartwatch.

when they find the way i will buy it,no reason to buy,is the same Android 7.1 as the others nothing more.For Android act as a phone same problems or issues,not Bluetooth phone call,same display 1.39" , bigger is better as the Lemfo LemX, the resolution i can said better a little,yeah waterproof at least we can swim for 30 minutes,,we dont about the speaker if is louder or decent even the where are place it, Amoled no good for outside. So for the other MCU(SoC) the nordic,can do a lot of more, they call it Lite OS and as you can see and search this SoC in cheaper regular Bluetooth Smartwatch can do; Health,outdoor activities,Bluetooth notfication and call answer and rejection and fitness with better implementation of the GPS..
So will see
The second processor will dig in if you go to the limited mode where you basically don't have a smartwatch, but a watch. Is this what you look for when buying a smartwatch? I would say no. This is a really poor made device imo. With its gigantic battery for a smartwatch it will stay in stand by mode for 5-7 days. Please note that this is only stand by. If you actually use it, it will last 2-3 days(for example take a look at banggood where they list this). Ofc they say this is with 4g, but it is unknown what the "persistent" mode is.

its really a dump idea because its not implemented,for what reason i need a bracelet mode if i am using the watch as a phone and i wont get get nothing,the only way to work is with a second small display in the band.
I had one of the first Kospet devices and I liked it but it lacked the Lite OS and the always on display. I purchased the Optimus Pro and it arrives this week. The 3GB/32GB version.

I just returned my Kospet Optumus Pro - nothing but problems
Pay attention to these details:
Fresh out of the box - you must setup the watch for language and body height/weight/gender - then when the QR code pops up - follow the exact procedure on video below to install the SPECIAL VERSION of WiiWatch 2 app on your Android phone
https://youtu.be/WquMzVsXBmk
Avoid the WiiWatch 2 app on Google Play Store here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weitetech.WiiWatchPro&hl=en_US
This is crucial procedure for all owners of the Kospet Optimus Pro - as this special WiiWatch 2 app version is required to install all the latest firmware for each processor in the Kospet Optimus Pro
On my Kospet Optimus Pro, problems began right after I installed Google Chrome Browser - (to gain access to all my Google account password credentials for all the URL web sites I participate on ( lots of forums)) - the Heart Monitor stopped working, and the raise watch to enable the watch display stopped working too. Next I entered the new Low Power mode , and thats when I discovered the Watch internal silent alarm buzzer would start, and never stop and just remained buzzing the whole time - sadly I made this discovery after the watch had been sitting on a desk buzzing for 15 minutes straight!
Only recourse is turn off the watch - but that did not function until after I placed the watch in the USB charging cradle , then it responded to the upper right side power button ( long 30 second press) - after a full 2 hour charge , I removed all apps, and verified I had the latest firmware version
Kospet Optimus Pro firmware reports
Build Number = Kospet_Optimus_Pro_V1.5_20190523
KERNEL VERSION = 4.4.22
Thu May 23 16:56 10CST 2019
Baseband Version MOLYLR12A R2.MP.V5.23.P10
SERIAL NUMBER - 0123456789ABCDEF ( WTF?)
Frankly it smells like I may have a counterfeit Optimus Pro - other owners might want to review their "About Watch properties and inspect their serial number , as surely a S/N of "1234567890ABCDEF" is not valid!
https://youtu.be/0Ne11J7U-0w
Here are the results - no third party apps installed and no Sim Card installed
= non stop buzzing in low power mode at all times - and no remedy from Kospet Support -they point me to the useless "FullAndroidWatch.com forum
https://discourse.fullandroidwatch.com/t/kospet-optimus-pro-constant-buzz-in-low-power-mode/47540
And tell me "Update firmware and reset" - did that several times - no fix
Had to return watch to Ebay seller

Greetings, mate can you tell me your experiences with this watch please, how are you satisfied with it? How long last the battery? Are there any good apps for that circle resolution? Thx.

the most of the apps will work as there is an option to make the screen square. there is also an other option to optimize 3th party apps.
as for the battery life it's not bad at all. I use mine with sim card installed and I did not run out of the juice at the end of the day yet. so surely 1, maybe up to 2 days of "normal" use
in the "long standby" probably a week or two on one charge. I switch between the two modes depending on if I want to take my phone with me or not.
much on this watch remains to be fixed (gps integration with the stock fitness app, a working tethering app etc), but for what I use it ( 2nd phone and audio media consumption) I'd say it's pretty cool.
best regards
Kospet watches are nice to wear BUT they are not compatible with the VERIZON network. Sprint only offers a Dara plan, no voice or text. No matter who you have the phone can not make bluetooth calls.
It turns out to be little more than a wrist watch that doesn't offer near what you think.
