Oukitel A28 SmartWatch[/ b][/ size][/ url]
Presentation:
At this time when all the major brands have their own Smatwatchs, Oukitel launched the A28, in order to take advantage of the attention that this type of equipment begins to arouse. Well, I had the opportunity to spend some time with the SmartWatch, and now we're back with my analysis to the Oukitel A28.
Specs
The Oukitel A28 features a 1.54 "display IPS with a resolution of 240 * 240, the processor is a MediaTek 2502A has 128mbs of RAM, has 32mbs of internal memory, and has a battery of 250mAh. The Outikel A28, uses Bluetooth 4.0 to communicate with our mobile phone. Additionally, also has a pulse sensor, Pedometer. Besides it has a speaker and a micro integrated so that we can communicate through it.
Along the packaging, have a micro-USB cable, the charging base and the manual.
Aspect
One of the most important things when buying a watch, is the look of it.
The Oukitel A28, being a smartwatch, is very light, only 58g, has its housing constructed of aluminum, I think the look is quite well done. For this, much contributes fully chromed bezel and leather strap.
The version we received has the silver bracelet with black leather strap, and there is also a version with the bezel in gold and a brown leather strap.
There is only one button which is on the right side of it, that serves to turn the clock display, and to go back to the previous menu.
At the rear we find one of the points that distinguishes this smartwatch of the other Chinese competitors, the pulse sensor.
The IP53 certification, ensures that we can use the watch normally, since this is sweat and splashes resistant, so we can wash your hands with it in place, or use it while it rains, however, must be removed for bathing.
Features
The Oukitel A28, allows us to receive and make calls, read messages, view notifications of any program me may have installed on our mobile phone, etc. Navigation through the menus is extremely simple, swipe your finger across the screen to the left or right to scroll through the menus, from the bottom up or top to go back to Clock.
Its use for calls, works relatively well, the sound of the integrated speaker is quite loud and perfectly perceptible, even in noisy environments, the micro, is not that good, for us to be understood by those who are hearing us, it is necessary to approach it to the mouth, or speak a little louder, no need to shout, but we are not that far from needing to do so.
Reading messages is extremely simple, since the message we receive is automatically appears on the screen when we turn it on, but the answers are limited, contrary to what happens to the vast majority of smartwatchs I have seen, the Oukitel A28, does not allow us to writing any type of text, instead, there are a set of pre-defined messages that can be sent in response.
Although not a device with android wear is compatible with some of the Google program, such as Fit, when connecting the smartwatch the phone, the phone automatically starts Google Fit, and monitors our movements, subsequently giving an indication of the time "exercise" or walk.
In addition to these functions, you can use the Oukitel A28 to locate your phone, as Alarm or Calendar, we can control the playback of music on our mobile phone, besides we can use the Oukitel A28 to operate the camara of our mobile phone, and We can view on the smartwatch screen what the camera is capturing. We still have the Sound Recorder, and Calculator.
Pedometer and Pulse Sensor
The smartwatch are aiming for the market of fitness and exercise, and the Oukitel A28 is no different, despite having an aspect that wouldn't be suitable for a gym or a jogging, it has some features that make it a good companion for such situations.
The Pedometer in the Oukitel A28, is fairly accurate, and contrary to other models is not easy to deceive, wave your arms in a chair does not make account more steps, and calculating the distance traveled is quite accurate.
Another very interesting feature is the Pulse Sensor, there are few devices that provide one, which is integrated in Oukitel A28, is surprisingly accurate, as you can see on the photo.
Bluetooth, Battery and MediaTek Smart Device
A smartwatch without connection to a mobile phone is as smart as a normal watch. So it is critical that the Oukitel can connect easily.
The A28 Oukitel using the Bluetooth 4.0 can connect the any equipment android or apple, then simply install the software from Mediatek so we can to ensure the use of all potential of the clock.
The Bluetooth connection ensures a range of about 10m without the sound start to lose quality, and until this distance you can use the smartwatch to make call without any kind of problems, more than that and we began to have some cuts both in sound we hear as the sound we send , despite continuing to be able to use the smartwatch to take pictures or to locate your phone.
The battery despite having a small size gives good length, connected to a mobile phone with a lot of use lasts about two days, more than that, only if we do not use any of the sensors, such as pedometer, or the pulse sensor, and if we only use the smartwatch for incoming calls and notifications, managed to get to about three days, but it is not exactly easy.
One of the advantages of having a small battery is that it charges quickly, it takes just 20 minutes for the battery reaches the maximum load , which is great, since it turns out to compensate for the fact that a relatively short duration.
The charging base is a necessary evil, since this is a device with IP53 certification, which is resistant to sweat and water splashes, placing a micro-USB port for charging, would create an opening in the box that let in water.
The Smart Device MediaTek is the software that we have installed in our mobile phone in order to use all the functions of the smartwatch, otherwise, is limited to being a speakerphone on the wrist, and read messages.
The Smart Device MediaTek can later install new software for these devices at this time is only possible to install the Yahoo Weather in order to see the weather in the smartwatch, Digital Clock which is another skin for the clock, and Codoon that is a program that Chinese social networks, so for us little use.
With MediaTek Smart Device installed we can also manage the type of notifications that will appear on the wrist, so the Oukitel A28 will just give the signal that we consider important.
Evaluation and Final Thoughts
Pros:
- Very good build quality with a premium appearance;
- Very precise pulse sensor;
- Connection to the mobile phone is excellent ;
- Price;
Cons:
- The lack of more skins at the clock, there are only 4;
- Failure to respond to messages with a written text, being forced to use that come pre set from factory.
If you are looking for a smartwatch with a premium appearance, with a low cost, and can offer a very good quality of construction, in addition to some extra features, this may be the smartwatch suitable for you.
I want to thank Antelife for having provided this equipment to be tested, and could share my opinion with you.

I am just looking for a basic Bluetooth watch to sync with my android phone. My previous one was annoying in that you have to press a button to see the time.
Any recommendations on which one? A long battery life would be a bonus but not essential. Thanks in advance.
Finally, I got the smart watch at www.shiningsmart.com. here is some insteresting comparing between the apple watch and the MTK2502c watch, I first go to the http://www.shiningintl.com/the-hotest-smart-watch-phone/ ,that is the description about the watch function. I found something insteresting, the realization of the wrist raise function is totally different, I can't say which one is better, but I think the apple watch must waist more battery, and it is too sensitive to wake up the screen.
1. slowly and slightly move your hand up,test result:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPCuHLbYcQE
in this compare, the apple watch will wake up its screen ,but the shiningsmart MTK2502c won't
2.in this test, the shiningsmart MTK2502c will easily turn on its screen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFdbS1OlIcA
for a conclusion, it is use different algorithm between the apple watch and shiningsmart MTK2502C watch,
the apple watch will detect any movement , and wake up the screen with slightly movement, but the shiningsmart MTK2502C won't wake up screen with very slow movement, but if you just turn around your wrist, then it know you need to look at the screen of the watch, then turn it on?
so which one you would like to ?and which one is reasonable?
don't know how to place youtube video,
just try
I want to replace my Asus Zenwatch 2 with some other smartwatch. I'm thinking of getting an LG Watch Sport, but I want to explore other options too... I'm very interested in the Ticwatch E. I love transparent stuff - it looks so futuristic! - and I actually prefer the button on the left, so I can press it with my thumb. Or maybe a Samsung watch - they're expensive and kinda ugly, but maybe Tizen would work better for me than WearOS?
Here are my criteria.
Requirements:
large round face
available in Canada
charges reliably (Zenwatch 2's super-fussy, unreliable charger connection is what's driving me to replace it)
Must support these crucial features (they don't have to work exactly the same way as what I currently have, but if I can't achieve similar functionality with Tizen, then I should probably stick with WearOS):
Alarms/Reminders:
need: go off at the right time even if my watch has no bluetooth or wifi connection
need: pop up a notification with custom text
strongly desire: customizable vibration patterns
nice-to-have: can set buzz pattern for individual alarms, as well as app-level default
nice-to-have: can create alarm/reminder from watch
Morning routine reminders: I have a really hard time getting ready for work in the morning, and I use an interval timer (ChronoList) to stay on track. I have it set up to buzz every five minutes, and each time it buzzes, it pops up a notification of what I'm supposed to be doing right then (e.g. 'put lunch in backpack').
need: ability to launch app at a certain time (currently doing this with Tasker)
need: custom text, as above
strongly desire: custom buzz patterns, as above
Strong desires:
ability to block ALL unwanted notifications/vibrations (for the life of me, I cannot convince my current watch to stop buzzing on bluetooth connect/disconnect. It drives me crazy, and it trains me to ignore when my watch buzzes, which makes it harder to notice the buzzes of my important reminders!)
settings should persist through power cycle (my watch often power cycles itself overnight, and when it turns back on, it turns on 'also vibrate for calls' and it turns the volume up - combine that with a fussy charge connection and the inability to turn off power connect/disconnect alerts, and you have a watch that suddenly starts going "BEE BOO. BOO BEE! BEE BOO. BOO BEE! in the middle of the night)
So, what do you think? LG Watch Sport? Ticwatch E? One of the Samsung Gear watches? Or something else I haven't even considered?
Maybe Ticwatch Pro here
Hello there!
I'm about to buy a amazfit stratos 2 because I'm unable to find any other watch that has Android Wear and a proper LCD always on display like the Stratos or Pace has.
Does anybody knows any other smart watch that has this always on feature?.
I mean full color always on screen, not like the OLED screens that goes mutilated when always on power saver kicks in, like this pic.

Almost all Garmin watch look at the Vivoactive 3
But garmin watches are not Android Wear, are they?
