Anyone know anything about this?
Clearly some idiots will soon put together a kickstarter/indiwatever claiming they completely designed clearly Chinese OEM kit with no modifications whatever other some software doodads (LOL) and plastic additions and some will pay these idiots through the nose while others will just buy from the oem via shops like Chinavasion for a reasonable amount.
LOL.
Anyhow would be cool to findout which OEM designed z2 and whether any chinavasion like shops are selling it?
go to google and type "z2 android wrist watch" - looks interesting - even if it's only a render.
Also ignore the uplaytablet wannabes pretending like they invented it - they're distributors.
Found a link to it.
From 6 days a...!

Clearly some proper price gouging going on for this z1 though... $400 USD??? Must be having a laugh
Will wait until it comes to sites of Chinavasion's ilk for maybe $260 USD then I'll bite.
Thanks for the info dedesuper!
That second video I posted demonstrates why I think the z2 is so much better than all the smart watches at the moment and represents a better value proposition. IMHO. Though this could easily change once reviews hit, also as I see other manufactures jumping on the bandwagon..!
The USB charging on the wristband is just like the z1 - perfect!

Thanks for that info about your AI watch. But I'm already sold on the z2 I'm afraid!
I always liked the Z1 form factor just thought it was a laggy mess but the dualcore mtk6577 in the Z2 should sort it right out - just need a review now - especially about battery life of the Z2

Just got an Offer from Tina of Guangdong Appscomm Co.,Ltd. : 300 USD.
Sorry dudes, but that is WAY too much for such a SmartWatch.
I m' willing to review it, but will not pay that much!
Yup - proper price gouging going on....
Will only pay 150 tops when it drops or won't get it at all.

Hi Damien,
I have bought myself one of your Z2 watches to develop a navigation app for flying light aircraft. My first impressions are good but I have a couple of questions...
Google Play:
My Z2 came with a simplified launcher that did not include Google Play. I downloaded and installed (various versions of) the Google Play apk and when I run it, it flashes up for a second then closes. I installed Nova Launcher from it's apk and that gives the same result. I've tried the usual stuff such as emptying the cache etc. but nothing works. Do you have any suggestions? It's not a stopper but it is inconvenient not being able to install apps through the proper channel.
GPS:
A few days ago, I got my app installed and was flying in an open cockpit gyrocopter and got a GPS location fix ok. Yesterday I was wearing my watch around town and in the car and it did not get any GPS data at all. I'd appreciate any comments you have on GPS with the Z2.
Screen:
You mentioned that the screen might not be good enough. I see what you mean. The contrast is poor and colors are dull. Not as good as a phone but you can read small text on it and it is surprisingly possible to type emails etc.
Battery life:
The first day I wore it I was waiting for my turn to fly and messing with the watch. By the time I got my flight the battery was flat. It was 11:30am. 2 hours or so. I had been on the internet with it and the battery was pretty hot. Yesterday I wore it all day and the battery lasted ok so it should be ok...
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide,
David
@SuperDave156;
I have one of these watches as well and am happy with it BUT like you said the battery gets quite warm (43C when i am using 3G) and does not last long.
I have installed Google play manually and ADW launcher seems to work ok on the watch Also you may want to install Pie control (very usefull).
-
Here is the Google play i used if you want it BUT you need to root the watch with Framaroot and use Boromir exploit.

>>>>W A R N I N G<<<<
If you are not familiar with rooting and setting permissions PLEASE IGNORE THE FOLLOWING LINKS - PLEASE!!
you could boot loop your device.

Framaroot here:

Also installing system toolbox pro i was able to chabge the CPU governor to Ondemand rather than the default Hybrid so battery lasts a little longer.

Thank you for your detailed explanation of how to get Google Play to work on my Z2 watch. Your instructions worked perfectly and have transformed my watch from an ok novelty to a fully functional Android device. I am using Nova Launcher which I had previously installed and is similar in layout to AWD which I also tried. I now have my home screen set up how I like it with the HTC sense clock/date/weather rather than that uninspiring clock that comes pre loaded.
This thread will be a valuable resource for anyone else struggling to setup their Z2.
Thanks again,
Dave
anyone knows how to update the firmware?
I read in another thread about u8, but of course I do not have u8pro
GPS fix
Here's a thing... The main reason for buying an android watch for me was to use the GPS for navigation. Unfortunately it has only got a fix on one occasion and that was while I was flying in an open cockpit gyrocopter. I have worn it while walking around and while driving but it never gets a fix. I don't think it is due to the rooting because I had this problem before I rooted it.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

You can guess my point though if you search the title of this thread. There is a youtube video which I will link in 6 posts which I find fascinating.
This smart watch has android, is inexpensive, has a pulse monitor, and "e-ink" screen. I wanted to know if it is any good. It has the same cpu as the SmartQ Z1 but is much thinner 9.5 mm.
Thoughts?
No SIM or WiFi, 320mAh battery. Android 4.2.
I'm sure it's a good piece for those that prefer notifies. I guess someone will have to buy it and test it.

Yeah no SIM sucks, or WiFi, no Compass, no GPS. But it does have Bluetooth 4.0/2.0 whatever that is... anyone know if that is a mistranslated 4.2?
That is a small battery true 320mAh but that possibly leads to the lighter weight, lower height of the watch which is 9.5mm thick.
It does have Android 4.3 actually, and it uses the same cpu as the SmartQ Z1 which is already ported. It only has 512 megs rom and 512 megs ram, which will be a problem for adding apps, that right there is almost enough to kill it.
The big thing it does have is.
Pulse Monitor
E-Ink Background, it switches between e-ink and TFT seamlessly, there is a youtube video that makes me want to buy this watch.
Run time is 7 days on paper, while displaying time 100% of the time using e-ink (very cool)
It has android so it can be upgraded at some point by the ppl in this forum!!!
If there is something similar / better out there for the same money let me know before I buy this one! I am leaning toward this one mainly because it is so thin, its actually thinner than the apple watch (10.5mm)

Still 5 posts to go
So, there is the Reedone X1 which is interesting but does not have the low power e-ink TFT thing going for it. I like the specs but dont like the 11mm thickness and lack of e-ink TFT.
Reedone website shows the Reedone X2 (there would be a link here, but you have to find it yourself because reasons!) The Reedone X2 is the same watch as the X2 Smartwatch from IQI, with same pictures and stats.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a smart watch then?
This looks the same as GearBest are selling as Atongm WO13 http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_166847.html and has the same display as he MiMi Mi-W3/Podoor PW305II http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_139964.html
I looked at this a few weeks ago but could see no advantages over the Mi-W3 I already own plus the following disadvantages:
Not waterproof - the MiMi is IP67 rated.
Much larger in height.
Proprietary charging cradle - what is the point when it isn't waterproof and uses exposed electrodes? Just something else to lose or break.
Edited to add: The BT 4.0/2.0 is because it uses a dual module that connects with either 2.0 or 4.0 protocols dependent on the device it is connecting to.

I don't believe it is Android based, apart from the splash screen there is nothing in the videos or adverts to suggest that it is. As it uses an Ingenics XBurst CPU I would guess it uses a version of their MIPS compiled Linux.
Although on Pandawill and Geekbuying, it clearly states Android 4.3 as the OS. Also, didn't the smart Q run on the same JZ4775 chip and run Android? i'll check with all the china shops tommorow and see what they say about the OS.
LightInTheBox says Android too, I was just going on the videos and screenshots, neither of which look like any Android I've seen, but of course it could be heavily customised.
Read the reviews of the NO.1 G2. Doesn't sound like a good buy. I'd definitely wait to see what the S7ler or others reviews have to say about the Sun.
maybe they mean it's compatible with android, not running it as an os?

I saw a video of the No. 1 S2 and the screen goes to the edges and beyond. I saw lettering go past the screen, which looks glitchy. I was tempted because of how slick it looks but they didn't do any work on switching the square scene to a round screen.

I am torn between this one and the Reedone HG-X1.
ISI X2 :
72.08 - Lowest Price
TFT Screen, Heart Rate Monitor, Pedometer, etc...
Reedone HG-X1:
80.99 - Lowest Price (black plastic?) at
Same as ISI X2
+GPS
+Waterproof
+Built in USB Connector
- 1mm thicker at dial
They are very similar. I have not seen a video on the Reedone yet though.
Any thoughts on these? Do they actually run Android? Would android gear be portable to these?
Loved watches all my life, and want a smartwatch so I can flip through all the different faces. That's all I'm interested in...for now. So, some questions that'll seem dumb to most of you:
1. I want faces like Rolex, Breitling, Omega, etc., so that means a round smartwatch.
2. My phone is an LG V10 running Android 6.0 and stock Verizon ROM.
3. What's the difference between cheap Bluetooth watches in the $50 range on eBay, and a smartwatch? (Or are they the same thing?)
4. Programs in the Google Play store like Watch Faces for Android and Watchmaker seem pretty attractive to me in that they simplify things for guys like me. (I've found a lot of the luxury watch faces I want already in the WF for Android catalog, and installed them on the widget on my phone).
I'm on the fence as to whether I get a black watch or stainless, (so, knowing me, I'll prolly get two!) :laugh: And remember, I'm buying for the sole, express purpose of having numerous choices in watch faces. All the other gadgetry in a smartwatch is, to me, meh. Maybe I'll use it, maybe I'll grow into it, I really don't know.
Help me find a watch that suits me, please?
Thanks, folks!

Ok, let me put it another way. Which chipset or operating system, (besides Android Wear, which is too expensive), is easiest to add custom watch faces?

By considering only ease of installation and the availability of custom watchfaces, the best choice is on the following "full Android" round smartwatches:
- No.1 D5 or his twin Finow X1
- K9 or Finow X3
- Finow X5
They all share the same watchface engine, easy to use and with an already big number of custom watchfaces available.
You can get an idea by looking at this thread:

This helps immensely, Cyrux. Thanks! Now, when you say they're full Android, you don't mean Android Wear, right? And can you just roughly describe the process, please? Is it like other devices, (phones, tablets, etc), where it's as simple connecting to a PC and drag/dropping files?
Once I've chosen a watch and have it home, I'll obviously do my due diligence and read, read, read! I promise.
And thanks again.

Hi,
I am interested on buying x3+ for running. I have doubts, maybe you could help me?
Are running apps running well?
Is a problem de round shape? On running apps?
Does gps have good precision?
Finally. Is heart rate sensor working good? Even running? Can you keep it on during long time?
Thanks for all,
Luis Puig
did you know if it works with running apps ?
nike running or endomondo ?
is it water resistant ? so it would be sweat resistant ?
The new X5 Plus

Running apps work perfect.
There are many apps compatible with round shape. so no worries.
GPS is good. gets locked fast.
Hear rate monitor is nice and fast but it doesnt rate continuously.
I recommend this watch if you want a real watch like feel.
Hi:
I'm also considering one of these 2 watch to buy (the X5+ or the D5+), or even other to buy. The X5+ has the advantage to have the amoled screen, but the no.1 seems to have more support (or at least i can't seem to find any support and firmware page on the finow website).
The watch will be used for receiving notifications from my Android phone and to track my sports activity (running), using sports tracker and C25K applications (heart rate will be monitored by an heart rate band - polar HR-7).
So, what do you guys suggest?

Hey guys and girls,
I want to buy a full android watch and spent the afternoon reading through the forum and watching the YouTube videos where all the watches are presented...
Now I narrowed it down to the Lemfo Lem5, the Finow X5 Plus and the No.1 D5+...
As far as I understand the Lemfo and the Finow are pretty much the same, right??
The main reason for this thread is, that I landed on a big smartwatch selling page and there it said that both the Limfo and the Finow DONT have WIFI... But everywhere else it says that both models have WiFi on board... So to be 100% sure I wanted to ask you guys who own the watches...
Thanks in advance for your help...

I am the same, I do not know which of these three models to choose, which one has the best after-sales service and best community? What is the best of the three?

Three of them are very similar, so you have to take the visual aspect into consideration, I am most in favor of LEM5 it looks the best for me.
I have one question regarding FINOW X5 Plus.
Is it waterproof? Or just IP55/54?
I can`t find this info...
Lemfo has IP55.
1- LEM5 and X5+ are the same watch under different brands
2- All three are supported by a +8000 member community specifically geared towards these round full android watches. This includes a large number of custom faces, firmware, custom apps, tech support and so on.
3- The D5+ is part of a larger family of watches spread across multiple brands as well.
4- All three of them have wifi. Most of those selling sites couldn't get the specs right if their life depended on it.
So what it comes down to really picking is 1 button vs 3, LCD vs OLED, smaller watch vs larger watch.
EDIT
About that IPx4 or x5 rating, don't trust it. IPx5 is 12L/minute water jets from any direction with no issue. Basically this;

Thanks Lokifish for the very comprehensive answer! To be honest I am not sure anymore if I really should buy a full android watch atm. The reason why I wanted this is that I am using windows phone and the app situation is not really awesome... I thought a full android watch could fill that gap in some situations. But now I figured that NFC is necessary for some apps (e.g. mobile payment at my local grocery shop). Do you know a full android watch with NFC?
Thanks a lot!

I`m only curious about waterproof during heave rain or washing my hands, not more.
On LEM5 spec it`s mentioned about it, but not as it comes to X5+. But for me, X5+ looks better and I`m keen on it more. I only need some proof I can use it during washing hands or heavy rain.

If you want contactless payment you don't need NFC. Hexxa Atenea has chip & PIN support via an insert in the band. If you live in the U.S. though, forget it. The U.S. only recently started using the decade old older chip & signature system, which is incompatible with chip & PIN.
If you want NFC, you will not find a single smartwatch with fully working NFC. Not Apple, Wear, Samsung, or full Android.
having the same doubts, I bought three and teste: D5+, Finow X3+, and LEM5.
LEM5:
the good: it's prettier, larger, has three buttons and I really like the interface.
the bad: the battery. it last for 8 hours when I basically do not use it
D5+: ,
the good: battery life. this lasts forever.
the bad: only one button. the interface is not that cool
Finow X3 Plus:
the good: battery lasts ovefr a day with regular use. the two buttons make it easy to use.
the bad: visually my least favorite one, screen is a bit small for my eyes, not a fan of silicon band.
