Bluboo Xwatch

Just pré ordered this watch: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/BLUB...-Smart-Watch-Remote-Control---Red-359996.html
Finally a watch that has all i want: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Android Wear and waterproof
How can it be there's still no thread about it here?

IP67 = You can wash your hands with it on, or get caught in the rain. A cheap $10 watch is usually more water resistant than that.

If you take a look, almost all smartwatches are IP67 or less. So, being IP67 is not bad

IP67 Protected from total dust ingress. Protected from immersion between
15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth
Do you know if it really has GPS?

Yes but looking at the presale at Geekbuying I couldn't find that info in the specs.

Yes, you are right. But since all news sites say it has, i'm supposing they are correct. I will see, when i get mine next year... oh..the wait...the wait is killing me

That's because they are designed poorly. I modified a non-water resistant smartwatch to be fully functional and 1ATM/33ft/10m water resistance. Total cost >$0.50

That's great. Did you made a video of that mod? That could be useful for everybody

I made a couple videos of the pressure testing. As far as the mods, due to differences in case design, one method does not fit all and each smartwatch case design has to be approached separately. Some designs cannot be greatly improved while others can reach 2ATM and much more.
On the one I posted videos of, it failed a 3ATM test but my work was not the cause. The crystal (glass) used by the manufacturer failed after about 8 hrsat a depth equivalent equal to 66ft/30m.

Well.. the price has lowered - it can now be find at $99 at gearbest - and it seems it will come with android 5.1 and not android wear...

Not bad for watch without a SIM. Have you looked into its new chip?

It Will come with Android not A. Wear like portals say... Just have to see this picture

This is not AW

I saw in a site they say it is just a test os for the prototype. The manufacturer claim he will use Android wear on retail version but the watch spec are almost too good to be true. So wait and see

Is there any more news about this watch running Android Wear?

not much,just the release date,it should be avaliable in final version next month with a price around 99 and 149$.
with android wear 5.1 (no 6.0 because the watch has no speakers).
and only a dualcore cpu instead of usual 4 core in other watches.

Is Android Wear confirmed? I thought that they would launch with Android only, not the wear version. Also, while it will be launched with the 5.1 version, is it expected to have updates, even if the 6.0 one is not planned?

the maker had confirmed about they own wear licence and told the curent capture use a in house test os.
and yes it seems wear 6.0 will be only for watch with a speaker.
this watch will have a barometer instead and maybie a gps module with 1go of ram. but it is not confirmed.
but sure thing this watch was made for sport mostly.
but then again google can refuse the use of android wear licence,i heard it happened to a kickstarter watch project.
the thing that bother me is the cpu being a 2 core MTK2601 .making it less powerfull than a gen 1 lg gwatch (quadcore snapdragon 400) and can be found around 60$ brand new in leather " buddy " version with same os)
and i guess the oncell screen mean it is a lcd or ips display instead of oled.

Quadcore means nothing when the cores are crippled, and Adreno 305 vs Mali 400 is negligible. Both are also A7 SOCs. As far as AMOLED vs IPS, AMOLEDs are only more efficient in lower lighting conditions or when very little is being shown on the display.
BTW, On-Cell displays are a Kyocera thing where the TSP is in the display itself.

well yes but it is the first time we see a watch with this cpu so i am a bit sceptical.
especialy after the moto360 v1 that was kinda a so so watch.but it was a old single core.
and how the updates will go?
but i know about the on cell ,but the wikipedia say is for lcd display only.
if i remenber correctly the iphone has the same way of building to have a clearer image.
and you know power usage is important for a so small format so to bad for the oled.
but the good news is the ele watch from elephone will use same cpu and they are claiming it will be an android wear device too
and it is official on mtk site too.

So, what do you guys think? Did you find any similarities with another smartwatch?

Tons. Case design aside, Gearbest alone lists 46 round MTK2502 smartwatches. Of those, 36 have HR sensors. If you limit it to that case design, there's still a few listed. Basically, the H6 is a dime a dozen.

It's similar with a lot of smartwatches lately But that's a good thing, because it looks good. How about the price?

I'm not sure quite what you mean. I was talking about the similarities with Moto 360, at least in the looks, software won't be as good, of course.

You did not specify that before, and I look at smartwatches as a whole. Yes it looks like an OG 360, which is a bad thing from a watch design aspect.

Ehm, alright. I thought it was obvious.
Anyway it's a personal choice, if it works fine and looks nice (even remotely), it's really good for the price, imho!

As a watch and smartwatch designer, I don't like it. The case is way to thick compared to the real watch Moto copied, which makes it wear/feel much larger than it is. Each to their own.

Yeah, I guess you're right, maybe I shouldn't like it because it's a "copy" but it's still a good looking design compared to other "cheap" Chinese smartwatches. I've no clue how big it really is from looking at the photos. :/

If you go by the specs;
OG Moto 360- 46 x 46 x 11.5 mm
Haier G6- 42.5 x 42.5 x 13.5 mm
Larger diameter offsets thickness, so it will look "tall" making it seem even thicker than it is.

Oh, yeah. That makes sense.
Hopefully somebody will review it so we'll know how it looks on a wrist.

As other people already mentioned, it's just another clone of the DM360, A29 and so on.
Surprisingly enough, new models continue to carry this annoying detail of cut display at the bottom part..

This watch is now being released this month over at Gearbest, geekbuying and other sites...
Has anyone ordered or received this watch yet?
Cheers.

Just ordered Mlais Android 5.1 Smartwatch, cant waiting to see what its like..
on another note i have come across another somewhat similar Mlais/moto 360 style watch, could not find it anywhere else but the link below.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/BTL-...id=c9f5a89c-05ee-4da9-ab87-a25ae99efeb5&tpp=0
Cheers.

Ordered one today
I found it on geekbuying for $129. It looks like it runs full android instead of android wear, which makes me wonder if the free watchfaces being made for the Finow X1 (D5) will work on this watch. I hope there will be some decent support for it or if it can be flashed to Android Wear.
No reviews yet for this so whoever get's theirs first please post comments.

Thank you very much. I'll take a look at it but i think I'll wait for your review of it before buying it because it's exactly the smartwatch I was looking for but the lack of the sim is stopping me

MTK2601 vs. MTK6580
Does anybody know how does this MTK2601 processor stand up to new line of watches with MTK6580? Any practical comparison?

interested on the watch too, anyone receive it yet? Any good or bad?

Is this your first smart watch? What make you choose this over another? It will be my first, wondering if i should just pick a cheaper to try.

I have a terrible feeling that you guys will be very disappointed with this.
It looks nice but no sim card and bluetooth and WiFi only? No android wear (which was obvious as would be illegal)
I would be surprised if it even runs android 5.1
I hope I'm wrong.....
EDOT - so it does have WiFi at least. I hope the companion application works well between this and your phone.

A watch without Sim means a watch with a longer battery and removable straps

Finow Q1 Pro, it's a square watch available from Finow's store on Aliexpress at the moment, same spec by the looks of it as the Microwear H5, tempted to get one as I really liked the original Finow Q1

Q1 PRO seems better at the battery is bigger 720 mah vs 600 mah H5
H5 is better in camera, it has 5mp vs 2mp Q1 PRO
Q1 PRO is smaller then H5

Absolutely if you like a front facing camera (Q1 Pro) instead of a camera that points to the sky (H5). Yes it actually points to the sky not forward or front.

Just ordered the Black/Red Q1 Pro!

Yup, got mine the other day, so far so good.
The UI is really good, it even has a full 'stock' settings menu like a regular phone.
My only criticism so far would be that with stock launcher you cannot add Clock skins, however if it is a 'must' for some users then Eric's clock skin launcher on Play store works fine with it.
Only had it a couple of days so not had much of a chance to test it out much, but it seems the battery is holding up good so far.
All in all I would consider it a great purchase! :good:

Good to hear it's going well. Considering buying one for my son. He's 11 and needs a way to stay in touch with me. Don't really want him to have to carry a full sized phone around.
How's the build quality?
How small does the band go?
I've been reading about people having trouble with the magnetic charging system not working on various phones because of problems with sweat/oil getting on the contacts. Hopefully you don't run into that issue!
I can't find any reviews of the watch on YouTube. If you're quick you could be the first

Hi, the Finow pictures only shown "Frequency Band" WCDMA: B1(2100mhz)/B2(1900mhz)/B8(900mhz). Does this watch support B5(850mhz) and can we set the screen resolution size to 320 for this watch?

Thanks for your information, I have confirmed with Finow that this watch does not support B:850mhz.

hard to answer as people use their devices differently.
But I get 2 days on a full charge with light/normal use, however I work from home, so only have WiFi on airplane mode on as I don't need calls at home, general use is checking messages, social media, a few video's etc

Does anyone have one of these yet? Any reviews/opinions?

Hi, I just received mine and am in mixed mood state.
The watch has improved compare to the original model except the screen (240x240) and thickness but the software seems unfinished.
Some bugs are really embarrassing and I hope we will get some updates :
- Sometimes Wifi disconnect and I must reboot my net box to get it work again ! It could be related to the "NVRAM WARNING" problem (Wifi connections list)
- Phone is working but I am unable to connect in 4G/3G (France) and to set any network parameters.
- Push notifications dont come to the watch.
Did someone get rooting this device ?
Sry for my English !

Problemm !
Hi , is there any app for running that measured heart rate and distance with good visuall on the screen ?
Google fit allways crashes , and i didn't find any good app with good visual ?

From the sound of it, this will actually have a few US LTE bands, but not all. Still with that and a Snapdragon 710 SOC, it's a marked improvement over previous models. This might actually stand a chance. Figured I would share it for those out there still wanting a proper Xperia Play successor like myself.
EDIT:
They also claim that it will have Google Play support, which would be a big update and not require sideloading like their previous models. If that happens, then this will be a substantial improvement.
EDIT2:
Looks like it's being called the i7s elsewhere:

Interesting snail releases really slowly

nice but a 6 screen would be massive. i finally sold my last xplay and got a moto z2 with the gampad. pretty good, runs every game

Yeah. Size comparisons show it to be pretty huge. Even the Vita with a 5" screen would have made for a massive phone. It's also a shame that even at that size it doesn't have any L2, R2, L3, or R3 buttons.
I thought about possibly going the Moto Mods route, although I've been sticking with the Xperia Compact line since I haven't been a fan of large phones. That and it has native Remote Play support, although Sony has yet to really make this an option on the go. But since everyone is dead set on going bigger, I've been looking at what else might work. I still haven't found an ideal setup.

yeah the moto z2 is big, but it´s so thin that somehow makes up for it, it´s really nice to handle. I was the happiest guy on earth with my xperia play up to 2016, then it just couldn´t keep up anymore. and i ultimately find myself playing only on commute, and in that case i always have my backpack and the moto z gamepad and my 3ds are in there. maybe with the release of the nintendo switch we will see something moving in a not too distant future..

Hello,
I have one of these. The screen is dead. Droix will not fix it. Is there a part number? The screen does not appear special. Could it be off the shelf?
Thanks.
