Xiaomi Haylou Solar aka LS05 - Other SmartWatches

So got the watch a day ago, first impressions are great, but im wondering if somebody successfully imported custom watch faces over to the new (non)Solar

I need too.
Yeah I also got the watch 3 days ago. Wondering how can i import new watch faces, since the haylou fit doesn't support watch faces.

Hhh It's my first day and I'm looking for new interfaces for it

any one got solution ?

Step counter
Btw it's a bit off topic but I've noticed that the watch is a bit inaccurate in counting steps. I've experimented with mi band 4 as a control and found the later to be very accurate. Haylou would accidentally trigger steps as opposed to the mi band. Any one else with the same issue?

2nd day of watch .. still struggling to get any way to install custom watch face... any success ?

the step counter is the worst thing of this watch it counts even when I'm sitting on a chair! the pulse monitor is ok only if you take the watch in the right position, sometimes it measures 180 beats when I'm sitting on the chair. Lol, no problem for the price it's a good watch, watchfaces? no way.

How does the bluethoot behave on your watch ... I'm not satisfied I walk 3 meters from the phone and the bleuthoot disconnects

Software needs update ASAP
Hey guys I got it three days ago. Was using a miband5 witch was perfect but I wanted something bigger. And passed the miband5 to the wife. And sadly it's only looks the interface super basic. The app even worst. To be honest I would be ok with that. But in 3 days it has only kept track of the sleep 1 night. And totally wrong data. I slept with both the ls05 and the miband5 to compare. And it's crazy. It's like they launched it on a hurry without a proper software. I really hope they do something to improve it.
I'm adding 2 screenshots one with the sleep reading from the ls05 and the one from the miband5. Same night. Same person. Different wrist.

Is is possible to create another app to replace the stock app for LS05? Coz the app is very basic and not accurate. I've found an app at PlayStore [search: Hello Haylou by Tibor Borsos). The app is working but the UI is not quite friendly.

What about readings? Are they more accurate or crazy data?

I noticed the same thing... It counted more than 10000 steps, where in some days that I walked a LOT more in work with my mi band 5, I got like 6000...
Seems it really counts when we are still and drive by car...
Would like to know if it happens on all units, or only in some of them, because no one talks about this on reviews...
Really disappointed

Yes, that is the case. I compared it with my phone app ( which I tested and checked and found to be very accurate) and found that in one day the watch could count 3000-5000 more steps. The problem is with small movements. Watch detects small hand/arm movements as steps. Even while driving it was adding steps.

Discussion: KREYOS Smartwatch best in wearable tech!

I know this has been already mentioned before but I wanted to start a discussion around wearable tech and touch on a few things I think this particular watch is getting right and why I think the game changer is finally here...
For the most part I think that because this isn't just a companion device like the I'm Watch or the Sony and numerous alternatives out there this is actually has loads of it's own functionality
For a start its waterproof!
If you're anything like me then you know how much you'd be put off having to rush for work and not have to worry about getting your watch soaked in the shower!
7 day battery life!
The I'm watch although has a nice colour screen only has 2 days worth of battery... that would really grate on me... having to charge your watch up ever other day.... 7 days is on par with other activity trackers.
Does everything a Fitbit Flex without needing to wear two things...
I do like the idea that I can wear this and not need a watch so now im back to having something just on one wrist and not on both
Keep track of your fitness in real time..
Something you can't do with any fitness tracker.. I really like the idea of using an Android Rock or Z1 watch phone but sadly they don't support bluetooth 4.0 LE which would have been great to directly see the apps off the fitness trackers... but this is the best you can get right now..
Syncs with Windows Phone 8
Ok for the minority of WP8 users out there with Lumias to actually have proper support with something is an amazing change
Anyway here's the link see what you all think about wearable tech...
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kreyos-the-only-smartwatch-with-voice-gesture-control/x/4042531
Actually what made me really laugh on their promo video was yeh look the watch is waterproof she just made a call and jumped in... errrr... hang but on but she just destroyed her £600 iPhone which isn't waterproof oh... and notice how she didn't try and use it after she had jumped in ;p
If anyone does pledge and doesn't mind using my referral link, it'll be greatly appreaciated! Thanks.

Chinese Pebble Clone

So I discovered a manufacturer in China that has started manufacturing a smart-watch that is plainly put a clone of the pebble. I just received today my production sample and am testing it. It's based on the EFM32 Cortex-M micro-controller. Bluetooth 4.0 BLE. The screen is Sharp Memory LCD. Battery 270 mAh , they claim battery life is over 10 days. Firmware is based on FreeRTOS and looks very similar to that on the Pebble. Watch has the same 4 buttons layout and the exact magnetic charger. Water resistance is rated IP 67. Tested it by tacking a bath. Even has the same issue with an easily scratch-able screen . Comes with 4 watch faces.
Here are some images :
http://imgur.com/a/X6tLy
Here is the suppliers page : http://imesmart.en.alibaba.com/prod...mart_watch_blue_tooth_iphone_smart_watch.html
These things go for 58 usd a piece. They haven't hit any sites like DealExtreme or Aliexpress yet.
This is the Android app used to connect to the watch if anyone wants to decompile it : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_0tZLvAcbvCYVVSaEQzVWpsZzQ/edit
Managed to find out that ZTE is selling this device under their brand : http://www.appchina.com/app/com.mtt.smartwatch/
It's exactly the same as this ZTE as I am curently using the ZTE app to connect to the watch.

the ZTE bluewatch looks a hell of a lot better?
This is basically the ZTE bluewatch in a different case.

Super anything else you've found out? Any other issues?
would you recommend it? :good:
Pretty hard not to recommend for 58 bucks. I found that on my Note 2 it sometimes looses Bluetooth connection after a few hours but doesn't seem to have this issue on the P6. The companion app for Android is just version 1.0 and has just been released last month so I am hopping there will be updates to solve this.
Manufacturer sent me an updated companion app that seems to have fixed the connection issues. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_0tZLvAcbvCR1pZcWw0OHdxcWQxQUt2bUFJczNRSXdtV3A0/edit
They claim to provide updates at least once a month.

Good news. :laugh:
can you use apps from the pebble apps store?
does this work as a stand alone watch? I.e. when its not connected to a device.
No you can't use the Pebble app's and yes it does work like a standalone watch , you can even completely shut down Bluetooth. Till now I'm quite impressed with the little guy. I'm now used to being able to see all my notifications on it and to control the music player. Pedometer is also kinda cool and the data syncs to the phone app.
same spec as the pebble

So without connected to a device you the the time, date, does the vibrating alarm work, any others functions?
Are the spec's exactly the same as the pebble with all the sensors and GPS?
The 10 day battery life is just fantastic. :good:
Thanks for the info' :good:
i'm writing right now a detailed review of the watch and will be posting it in a new thread.
Yes it has all the functions you would expect from a normal watch and they can be used without a phone , so you can set alarms.
Neither this nor the Pebble have GPS. But they do have an accelerometer.

The version I test here is only for Android. MIMI are saying they are working on a version for iPhone, but they can't say when it is ready. They are aiming for December. The cost is right now unknown, but I believe it will be around the same as this version.

Sorry I missed it but what is the cost of this current version?
On the IP67 test. The International Electrotechnical Commission requirements are 30min/1m. The IEC is the organization that makes the standards for the test/rating, so if it does not meet 30min/1m static immersion test then it can't technically be IP67. Just a heads up.
Thanks for reviewing it.

okay thanks for the info, but here http://aceeca.com/handhelds/ip67 it says
6 Totally protected against dust
7 Protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m
And if that's the case, it does fill the requirements. As it is water & dust-proof. Can be soaked more than 3 hours in 50cm deep water according to MIMI.

looks nice, but also rather huge
and very disappointing to see the exact same crappy companion app

i assume you have to have either phone or media audio connected for the watch to work at all?

IEC 60529 (doesn't get any more official than this)
The link you posted is technically incorrect as the lowest point has to be at a depth of 1m. If the object is more than 850cm (can't remember exactly but it's in the pdf) tall then it requires 15cm from the top of the device to the surface of the water.

I just bought this smartwatch and waiting for delivery. Do you know if there will be more clockfaces ?
Btw, 3 days battery sounds good enough for me.

I have this watch almost two weeks now, very nice watch and the design look quality. The things that i notice is that, connection sometime disconnect and you need to connect it by your smartphone not like other models that the watch it self searching for the phone. Heartrate seems accurate. The liveview cam is laggy and not full screen. I hope they implement auto face detection most pics taken is blurry. Qwerty keyboard not a default handwriting is awful very slow. Sometime the watch is autorestarting so you need to pair it again thru you smarphone and open the apps. I hope they could update thebfirmware soon.

Battery is ok for a couple of days, BT connection is stable for me, but also depends on what phone you use and how strong the BT is on the phone. No idea about Lollipop, but I think it would work.
I have a OnePlus One, I owned rwatch m26, the app worked well with kitkat while with lollipop I had to use an alternative apk, SmartWear. Since you bought it there were updates? I found a blog that talks about a new firmware with the voice command, but the site mimi-hk says nothing. However, I think I'll buy, the transreflective display, the ability to watch the time or answer the call with the shake and ip67 are rare on this type of device. On Lightinthebox it's 89 euros + 13 for shipping, I think it's a good price. Thanks for your suggest

Yes I got it yesterday. And i am so disappointed. Disappointed because there is NO heart rate monitor at all! This option was the main reason why i decided to take it. Bluetooth connection between watch and sgn2 is dropping after few minutes. Both software - on watch and on phone is piece of s...! Only 2 watch faces: analog and digital.
This morning battery is already empty.
Screen looks good enough. Responsive touch. Clock i see is acurate. If it is true - it is sinchronysing with phone. There is simple control of media player: play stop forward backward and volume. It plays music directly on the watch. Sound is... listening at night when you are sleeping is more or less enough. There is no option to play music on phone.
I did not find how to control camera i couldn't take any picture. It looks like they payed attention to design of the watch - it looks good but else is left.

No I didn't say like that. It is more or less worth that money. I just bought not that one I wanted. I have read as much as i could find on internet about that watch. And a lot of places i have found info that this watch have heart rate monitor but in reality NOT. I cant figure it out how it happened. On the seller listing there were pictures showing like it is but not mentioned in the specification. So i can blame only myself for not clearing this question before bidding.
Later on i will post a few pics if you want.
And sorry for my English. I am doing my best.
Tell me please if you can see those pictures here:

I am sorry to hear this device is not what we probably all hoped for!! If it had remote camera working it would be worth me buying one. I do thank you for saving me the time,money and disappointment Sir.
Remote camera is working. I found finaly how it works.
I was wondering how can we use this smartwatch. I mean, what are the possibilities for it? Can I read incoming whatsapp on it? Mails?
That should be useful for me. Thanks!

thaNKS FOR YOUR INPUT. I can see the photos dont delete them cuz I also want to buy this watch.
how does it wear, comfortably or not?
and does it have a camera on the top of the watch, or what is that supposed to be?

It wears comfortably enough. And it is not so big like it looks. Silicon band is somewhere in the middle - not so hard and not so elastic. I have no problems with band. I have ordered gold color but I don't know... it looks for me like bronze, not polished or shiny.
Camera - NO there is NO camera on the board. That small window on the top of the watch is that what have tricked me. I was thinking that there is heart rate monitor but its not. There is NO nothing at all. I disassembled this watch and I am pretty sure.
One more thing. Yesterday I decided to try with another ROM on my SGN2. Installed "Android Revolution HD 31.0". Now I can tell that connection between SGN2 and this watch is much better than it was with Slim Colorz. During this day there were no interruption with watch.

Anyone pre-order the Misfit Vapor?

It looks really cool, Amazon keeps having these flash sales on Amazon for $151. Right now you can pre-order it for $199 on their site. What do you guys think of it? Any-one get theirs yet?

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who ordered one/has one as well. Honestly, I'm stunned that a non-flat-tire, not ginormous, waterproof, android wear 2.0 smartwatch with a touch bezel is not getting more notice/media coverage.
It's like all the big review sites said, "Yeah, it's available on the 31st....so what. We had to wait for it too long, so we don't care". It's rather crazy in my mind. There are a few old reviews I can find (when the watch still ran the proprietary OS) but as far as I can find, there are no current reviews with the watch running AW 2.0. Why!?
I really hope some proud new owners chime in and let us know how the watch performs running AW, and some details on real-world use.
The only one that I've seen receive their's is this person. For $199 new, that's pretty good isn't it? A refurb Huawei watch one would cost me $150 at least.

Oh, sweet! Good thread there with some pretty good initial info on the watch. Thanks for sharing the link.
Hi I just recieved mine last night and I am now looking around on the web for info/help with it. Ill give my first impressions of it here, Id like to be able to share my thoughts with Misfit so maybe they can take the feedback and improve it.
First off I am a formar Fitbit Surge user and liked it for the fitness attributes it had, before ordering the Vapor I bought a CHEAP $40 Kingware KW18 watch from China to see if id be ok wearing a larger watch such as these are. It had many short commings but also did some cool things.
First impression is the watch is well made and it has a great interface, I really like the touch navigation around the bezel.
Now for what I dont like about it:
- Heart rate monitor has to be manually activated each time and just does a short test. I want to have it on all the time and have the data graphed in the app, I understand that probably is a battery drainer but how about being able to turn it on during workouts so I know what my peak heart rate was riding my cycle up a huge hill for instance.
- Phone call answering - It lets you see an incomming call and decide to hang up or answer it from the watch, but if you answer it from the watch the call actually goes to the phone. You should be able to see the call and if your phone is handy answer it on the phone or if its not (say phone is in my pocket and i am driving) answer it on the watch and talk to the person through the watch as a speaker phone. THe cheap KW18 can do this.
- Displaying of info on the watch face - Id like to be able to select what info is displayed on the watchface, such as steps or calories burned. Seams simple enough, Fitbits, Garmins both can do this and is an expection for most people of a fitness watch.
- Sleep monitor, so I could be missing something when I set it up for this but when I synced it this morning it said I got zero sleep, gee I didnt feel that I got no sleep, I am tired but I did sleep some... If it cannot sense I am in a restful position on its on I hope it doesnt expect me to select something in the watch to say Im now sleeping....
- Charger - It is a non intrusive connection held onto watch with a magnet which is great but it doesnt stay on well at all. The cheap KW18 has a much better charger cable/interface.
- Misfit App - THis is on me as I could have downloaded this before hand and checked it out but basically it is pretty useless. Has very little info in it, does not food/water tracking and has no graphing ability that I could see. Will need to use the watch for a while to see if once there is data it then has graphs available with your daily/weekly/monthly activity...
Sorry to sound negitive but they tout it as a refined fitness watch but fitness is low on their prioritys from what I can see.

You can change the default watch face info at bottom of screen. Go to change face screen and click settings icon and you can change the 3 icons from in there to link to any app on watch incl Google Fit for steps, calories etc

Hi thanks I did manage to figure that out, a user manual would be nice. It still is not very accurate on the step counting and it isn't tracking sleep at all either.

I have a few to sell if anyone is interested
So update on my Vapor i was told by tech support it does not do sleep tracking at all and heart rate monitoring is a snapshot only when you trigger it.
Have no idea how they can tout the Vapor let alone Misfit as fitness focused.
Im sending mine back and looking at the Garmin vivoactive 3 or the Samsung S2.
