Gv18 quick review

Hi I thought I would give a quick review of my gv18 smartwatch purchased for £28 from ebay uk seller so here goes.
The item arrived via Argos click and collect which I was very happy with as I don't drive and work 9-5 and hate receiving royal mail undelivered cards.
The watch is packed in a rather generic looking box with aplus watch printed on the box.
Inside I found the watch and a usb cable along with a User manually with a poorly translated english section so I decided to just charge and test the watch. A full charge took just over an hour. Startup was quick a few seconds really and then I was ready to go. I scanned the mediatek app from the qr code but it wouldn't install on my xperia z3 so downloaded and installed via playstore. Within seconds I was receiving all of my notifications. I could even play music through my watch from my phone using xperia z3s throw feature and was pleasantly surprised by the volume and quality of the watch speaker. If I turn off the throw feature I can control the phones audio via the watch through the phones speaker. I promptly tested the calling and was pleased to note that the caller could hear me very clearly as well as me hearing them albeit in a similar way to hands free on my phone but a lot clearer. Sadly I do not believe there is a way to link the watch directly to bluetooth headset which is a shame as this was my main hope for this watch with the expandable memory. Battery life is good at about 2-3 days limited use with backlight on medium. Regarding the phones other features I can say the pedometer works although I'm unsure of the accuracy, texting even with the keyboard options is pretty much pointless due to the size of the keyboard and poor autocorrect word options. Along with this I have noticed that from time to time my bluetotth disconnects and when on a non silent profile rings continuously and on silent the has a verry week vibration. That said though for a nice looking comfortable watch with easily replaceable bands ( about £6 on ebay for 24mm straight end strap, however you will lose nfc) that is a great handsfree device and receives all notifications and for £28 this watch is deffinately worth the money but I'm thinking of looking at the k8 or s8 now for gps and hope of bluetooth headset when free of phone. UPDATE I have now established that you use bluetooth dialler app to use bluetooth headset however with one headset I use connection strength is almost non existent as unless the phone is touching the headset it disconnects and now with my boudoir earphones I get a connection but with wrist at waist I get drop outs both headsets have good range when paired with my phone.

Looks like someone stole my review lolhttp://mobilevsandroid.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/gv18-quick-review.html?m=1

How long is the strap that comes with it?
I just ordered one, since I use a waterproof zip bag for my phone when hiking.

If you still need to know I will measure at some point.

I got the watch, but theres no screw on the back of the gv18 case.
I can see a small circle in the plastic, but not cutout.
in softweare the build time is 24-7-2015. Managed to connect phone and a bt headset to play music. But will probably not use that option all that much.

Mine didn't have the screw either I'm wondering if bluetooth connection is a bit ropey due to changing to metal strap.

well, I tested the bluetooth quicly with sonyericsson mw600 headset. I tried dialing with the mw600 inside the jacket and it seemed to work. Just a quick test over lets say 1m distance.
I am thinking of putting some cling film on it or something else for water\moisture protection when hiking.

GV18 or DZ09? which one is better? Which one do you prefer?

What about internet connection? when i have sim in watch, can i connect to internet using phone?
or when i have sim in phone, can i connect to internet using watches?

Couldn't get sim card working
I tried my phone's sim card in the watch, found AT&T's network configuration page, and attempted to get the watch connected. After many unsuccessful attempts, I gave up. Theoretically, the watch gives you a browser, facebook, and whatsapp apps if you're connected with sim card.

just bought it from amazon, will use it primarily to listen to music via bluetooth headphones while jogging. hopefully it works great for my purpose

I have had the Cosmos for a couple of months now.
I have had the Cosmos for a couple of months now and I am quite impressed with the quality of the build of this watch. I had problems at first with the watch disconnecting from the BT on my phone but after pairing the watch to my phone through the BT settings on my phone rather than the FunDo Wear and my phone asking if I wanted to make the watch a trusted BT device I have not had any pairing, connecting or syncing issues since. I have dumped the FunDo Wear app and tried a number of BT notification apps. The BT apps that have worked all where FunDo variations. I have ran the watch with out any BT notification apps at all but just by pairing to my phone with blue tooth alone. I was able to do things like stream music to the watch, make and receive phone calls and use the dialler on the watch all without any apps. The Cosmos hardware is capable of so much more than what can be done with the current FunDo variations. I can see this watch being able to do thing such as control my nest thermostat, control my Iluv led lights or even monitor my home security DVR if either android wear would support these watches or FunDo would step up their game and program a usable and stable sync app. As for the Cosmos watch itself, it is an impressive watch both in style and quality.

Thanks for your opinion
I also tried to connect the watch with old phone and it worked. but the phone had to find the watch first. anyway I agree with you when you say
that the Zeblaze Cosmo is good quality watch :good:

Good smartwatch up to 140$

Hi,
I would like to buy smartwatch for up to 140$
It must have some functions like:
-showing who is calling
-showing prompts
-turn tu wake
-sending sms via bt
-calling via bt
-min 2 days on battery
-optionally waterproof
-if possible, android os
For now I've found 3 smartwatches wich are good enought
Ourtime X01s - not to good battery life, bad look, about 67$
No.01 d5+ - littlebit better battery life, realy good look, about 110$
Old samsung gear fit - good battery life, goid look, without android, less functions, about 50$
Do you have better watch than thoes or should I bou one of them?

Hi,
I bought the D5+. It is a good looking watch with approx. one day battery lifetime. But your points:
-sending sms via bt
-calling via bt
are not fulfilled by these watch. Also the companion app "Watch helper" is horrible according to the annoying BT connection interrupt alert, which is not possible to disable it.
I'm wondering if I will return these watch because of these issues.
Do you know if there are other companion apps which are working with the watch helper on the phone together? Or are there any costom roms for watches with MTK6580 chip available which are providing nearly all features for companion device and/or stand alone device? I'm using the D5+ as companion device to my smartphone. But there are many features which I'm missing.

Regarding my mentioned Watchhelper issue here a solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-watchhelper-fixer-finow-lemfo-t3557531

Z69 Smartwatch (they said its from LIGE)

I bought a smartwatch from china and it say its Lige Smartwatch but I discover its a "Z69" smartwatch. I tried to go to Lige website but I can't find this model anywhere. Anyhow I would like to ask if anyone has bought this and how to add more face watch.
I hve a video clip but I can't attached it here. If any one wants to see. let me know.
Screen: 1.28-inch IPS HD full-size circular screen
Touch screen: full touch screen
Battery: 350Mah
Application: H Band
Charging method: magnetic charging
Waterproof rating: IP67
Hardware parameters：
Bluetooth: BLE4.0
Bluetooth call: BT3.0

On these knock off smart watches it's pretty much impossible to add new watch faces. If it runs Android it might be possible to just install a new launcher, but if it runs a custom OS (which a lot of the cheap ones do) it's impossible.

Yeh, you'll need Android on it to work with watch face's...
