[Q] AIwatch A8 - 4.2.2 MTK6572 for $66 : too good to be true?

Edited to add -> Verdict: Too Good To Be True
Hey All,
I saw a very interesting watch on eBay that if legit looks amazing. I'm not sure that it is legit... I'd love to hear your thoughts on this before pulling the trigger and buying one.

Haha :laugh:
even before the real Apple iWatch is released, there is already a clone. If it is true, this is the smartwatch with the best price / performance ratio i've seen so far.

The eBay seller sent me a URL to the manufacturer's site. After a trip through Google Translate, it's not nearly as interesting. Bummer.
The screen is <1" with 96x64 resolution and a 180mah battery. My guess is that it has about the same capabilities as a U8 watch. If anyone can translate the rest of the page, that would be interesting.

This watch has less than the capabilities than the U8 watch. Definitely isn't MTK6572 nor Android. It runs nucleus RTOS, but a very stripped down one color UI. Like this watch:

Windows 10 on Lumia 540-like device (specwise) - CM Alpha Luxe

Greetings!
A local company in our country released a very affordable windows phone device, the Cherry Mobile Alpha Luxe, which I bought at a sale for just around $61. The specs of this device is very similar to the Lumia 540, it is as follows:
5.0 Inch HD IPS Display (720 × 1280 Pixels, 294 ppi)
Scratch Resistant DragonTrail Glass
Windows Phone 8.1 OS
1.2GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 Processor
Adreno 305 GPU
1GB of RAM
8GB Internal Storage
Expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD
8.0 Megapixel Autofocus Main Camera with LED Flash
2.0 Megapixel Front Camera
Dual SIM/Dual Standby
3G HSPA+, 2G EDGE and GPRS Networks
Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Hotspot
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS
FM Radio
MicroUSB
3.5mm Audio Jack
Accelerometer
2,000mAh Li-ion Battery
My question is, can I probably spoof or do something to get the windows 10 mobile dev preview installed in this unit using the software for Lumia 540?
I'm willing to give it a try if somebody is willing to teach me how.
Thanks and more power!

Actually, you can. But the problem it will be if you want to come back to WP 8.1

You can, its really easy to get it done, but its not really optimized, Im using it on my lumia 525 and its a bit slow.

What do people think of repurposing this device to run Android wear?

This is a fraction of the price of alternatives. The downside is a Mediatek chip.

Android Wear and a MediaTek chip ... shame hey, as there will be no (or not much) development on XDA. The XDA article the GSM-Arena article.
On probably not as bad as the other cheaper brands and appealing only to the Android Wear fans.

A few more angles. A little plump, but I'd still call it a winner.

Interested in this watch... But probably lack of support....

I'm hoping it will have GPS

This cannot be correct - this is at Gearbest http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_247182.html
This chipset cannot even support these sizes - as far as I know.
No mention of Android Wear.
Looks nice but a bit skeptical about the information and it lacks the ability to make calls direct from the watch.

Mentions Wear but still has those ridiculous storage specs. Hope I'm proven wrong but this chipset normally uses the standard 512ram and 4gb rom.

Yeah those specs seem very unlikely.
This videos says 512 RAM and 4GB ROM with a 320x320 screen.
Youtube - Elephone Elewatch (ELE Watch) smartwatch Android Wear by Notebook Italia
Actually says 5012 but I'm pretty sure that was just lost in translation.
Would link but no-link noob policy : )

Any news about this smartwatch? Elephone presented the W2, but I haven't heard anything more about the ELE watch.

A8 Android 7.1 smartwatch

Just bought a cheap smartwatch to shared.
Model: A8 smartwatch
Os: Android 7.1
Chipset: mtk6739
Ram: 1gb
Rom: 16gb
Display: amoled 1.39 inch
Camera: dual 5mp
Support: 4g + WiFi + Bluetooth + gps
Battery: 530mah
Preinstalled apps: playstore
Companion: wiiwatch 2
Additional: hundreds of watch face and boxinsetlayout toggle.
Look nicer bezel than Zeblaze Thor 4 dual, lookalike Lokmat Lok02.
Pros: I bought this for my son so that I could track his location when he is outside and at school. I'm using the Google find my device and it's working great. With GPS on, the battery can last the whole day. I even can WhatsApp video chat with him thanks to the front facing 5mp camera.
There are plenty of Watch Faces to download from https://discourse.fullandroidwatch.org and clock skin site.
ATTENTION!!! To whoever purchased a full android smartwatch, please setup google Find My Device and always on GPS, Data and Wifi. There is a feature in google Find My Device that can erase your device using your phone when your watch is in bootloop and couldn't enter your watch setting.

That's pretty loaded! Cool ?
