So I recently received bought another Chinese smartwatch that’s based on the Mediatek MTK6261 system-on-a-chip, which isn’t a very common chip in smartwatches as far as I know. Other than that, the watch supports a variety of different wireless standards such as GSM, Bluetooth 3.0 & 4.0 but that’s about it. These are the full specifications for the watch, and what other features it brings to the table:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The build quality of this watch feels pretty solid, and is better than most other <$50 smartwatches I’ve tried; it’s made out of aluminum and plastic and feels very solid. The band is made out of a leather looking material, but I’m not sure if it’s real leather or not.
So feature wise, this watch brings in some of the common features on Chinese smartwatches like a basic messaging app, remote dialer support and support for notifications. However, it does lack some features some other smartwatches have but it does have some features others don’t such as a heartrate monitor.
The watch comes with a variety of different watchfaces that looks better than on most other china watches, and I especially liked the black analog watchface with white text. The only thing I wish was that there was some better digital ones, as there’s only 1 digital watchface on it.
The firmware of the watch is based off an old phone firmware as far as I know, as there’s some relics that they’ve not removed and sometimes they make the user interface feel a bit clunky. For an example, if you want to set an alarm you have to go through many different menus to do something that simple. Another example is that the keyboard for inputs in the text messaging app is really small, and feels like a keyboard that were initially intended for a bigger screen or a product with a stylus.
So with what said, I’m pretty satisfied with this watch but the firmware is a bit clunky in certain areas of the watch; anyone that own this watch that have found any custom firmware for it or is there a more recent firmware available? I suspect that this is an OEM version of the Flyshark Smartwatch, if I find a way to flash it I’ll try that firmware out.

The enabling UI technology was Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). With WPF we could rapidly build something that looks a lot like iPhone in a very short time. I was playing the dual role of a Designer + Developer and tools like Blend and Design greatly helped in skinning the app. Below you can see a bunch of screenshots and a short video of accepting a call.

How was it built?
* Blend and Design were used for creating the skin of the app. The XAML UI was created in Blend and the graphics were developed in Design. I had made a post earlier about how the icons for the app were created in Design.
* The GlassWindow control was used for creating the window chrome.
* Although you cannot see in the screenshots above, the Drag 'n' Drop library was also used
* I missed out using the ElementFlow, but that can be easily added. I only need to find a business case for that
This example only goes to show how powerful WPF can be. With greater tool support from Blend + Design, lot can be achieved in a far lesser time. Now until I get my own iPhone, I will continue to use the WPF version
Didnt know you could get WPF on win mobile, would be nice to see it used to do something other than clone the iPhone though
iPhone is overrated. It was a fad, we dressed our pdas up for a while, but its tiring. I feel for iPhone owners who actually have to deal with it everyday.
If you look on the link you provided in your first post, you'll see a video that shows this is not running on a mobile but on a desktop. WPF is a component of Vista, and the app probably runs in an emulator of some kind (you can see a mouse cursor in the vid).
Looks like a really nice watch and cheap. It has a display of x5.

This watch and all Finow watches are officially supported here = http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/
Whilst we all work here on XDA as well - come over and register to find out about this and all round stand alone Android smart watches.
You can change watch faces easily for this watch and even make your own with an app one of our members has created. All this information is available in our forum http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/ and G+ Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712
These faces do display step, battery and other information - have a look for yourself.
Just be sure about this one important thing - it is a standalone device - for use with a nano 3G sim card, like a regular phone.
It will not work like Android Wear - it can display some notifications from your phone via Bluetooth but no phone calls or text messaging is/are possible.
It is a real phone in a watch.
By the way - a note to the original poster - you cannot post adverting links on XDA !! You've been warned !!
---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------
URGENT WARNING !! - DO NOT use the add watch face option at the end of the installed watch face chain which is an + symbol.
The server used to host the faces available through this option is hosted in China and has terrible trouble delivering the face to the watch.
This quite often ends up with a half installed watch face which then corrupts the launcher database.
It ends with the watch failing to boot correctly to the launcher and the only solution is to flash the watch with original firmware (a scary process for some ! )
can i change the straps?
Want to get opions, not sure if I'm getting yet or if someone has one already please post review

Hi there folks!
At bottom you see my desktop from dex, i have fullHD samsung TV to work with dex, i wish to have better screen resolution but you know, money, money, money.... In nearest future i will buy desktop monitor and attach all cables and stuff to it. But later, ofcorse, i will share my setup.
I have few apps as you see, i use samsung internet browser for facebook due to it`s desktop mode that is best for dex, chrome`s facebook experience is not good, and samsung`s version is just like normal pc feel like facebook. So i have shortcut there. And for writing - for now i have open office port but this makes me angry due to spell checking, I`m writing native in Polish but i want to write also in english without mistakes and that open office port is just more problems that benefits. Also i have camera roll gallery app but also - to change because of lacking 360 photos view, any ideas?I had quicpic but i read that newest version is somehow buggy and this pink fonts... nope.
Rest of apps is just normal, and i cant find any other usefull apps to use with dex for now, i`ve try to connect my two hard drives to dex but it`s just not working like i want it to. What is funny - i have tv android box and this peace of cheap dung works normally with both hard drives... I`ve try different ntfs mounter sollutions but everytime - failure.
For now i feel like DEX is not developing anyhow, no updates, no new functions... i hope that this is no project like bada os project, i hope that this would be developed in future.
So, what is your ideas, apps, tricks and tips for DEX? How your DEX screen looks like?

1. Background
Globally, approximately 1.3 billion people live with some form of visual impairment. For young people, the leap into the adult world is challenging enough. You’re figuring out who you are and who you want to be, what your next steps in life are, while at the same time trying new things and dipping your toes into new experiences. But for the visually impaired, the ramifications are enormous, touching almost every aspect of the way they live, work and play.
HONOR partnered up with Eyecoming to develop an AI-Enabled APP exclusively (English Version) for HONOR 20 PRO. The APP works like a typo-scope which helps the Visually Impaired community to read text better and convert text to speech in real-time. Together, we are able to help the visually impaired navigate, read and live life more easily, giving them the tools they need to see the world around them, and more importantly, giving them the confidence to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.
2. HONOR 20 PRO & Eyecoming APP
Based on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology provided by HiAI (enabled by the dual NPU of Kirin 980), HONOR 20 PRO’s Eyecoming Magnifier recognizes and converts text to speech more accurately and faster in real time. Simply just take a photo of the text, the APP will convert to speech immediately. It supports up to seven languages, including English, Chinese, Italian etc. Moreover, HONOR 20 PRO’s superior camera experience enabled by 48MP/Telephoto/OIS can enhance the experience to allow for clearer viewing.
The main functions provided by the APP include:
• Converting text to speech simply by taking the photo of the text;
• Different filters to choose from for better viewing;
• Zooms in and magnifies the text in front of them;
• Customized LED light for HONOR 20 PRO for more convenience
3. Recruitment Requirement
HONOR would like to recruit a young HONOR fan who is also facing similar troubles in their life. We would like to let them try out the APP with the HONOR 20 PRO to see how this makes a difference in his or her life. His or her unique story may also be featured in our communication materials in September and later on.
