[@thenewshoppingchannel]

Thanks for the usual thorough unbiased review - one of the few youtube channels reviewing low cost tech that isn't a paid shill

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! Yeah making money out of KZbin isn't my goal, which is a good job really as I'd be failing dismally 😭🤣

[@Haylou]

Thanks for the Haylou RS5 review, Regan! Glad you're loving the sleek design and features. Enjoy exploring it! 🌟 #Haylou #Smartwatch

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! I am enjoying the S30 even more - great release 👏

[@Reu_ag]

My rs4 plus just died though it lasted for about 4 years, this rs5 was released at the right time for and it's a massive upgrade, am OK with the laggy user interface, my rs4 plus took a few firmware updates for it to run smoothly

[@ReganCipher]

Good to know, thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@sethmitchell7102]

The rs4 was released in march 2022. So you couldn't have owned it for 4 years!

[@blackreaper3191]

Mine working flawlessly​@@sethmitchell7102

Mister @@ReganCipher please review redmi buds 5 pro and galaxy buds fe , thx

[@ReganCipher]

@MemberOfGeniusSociety Galaxy Buds FE coming in my $100 comparison, I will try and get hold of the Redmi but it's a bit difficult here in UK 😭

[@MemberOfGeniusSociety]

@@ReganCipher in my country normal shop sell the buds fe below msrp around 50 us bucks which put the price roughly the same as redmi buds 5 pro also 50 us bucks Buds fe normal price in my country around 75 usd bucks

[@ReganCipher]

@@MemberOfGeniusSociety Redmi Buds 5 Pro are nearly $100 here, Galaxy Buds FE are over $100 but I'm gonna get some from eBay 😁

[@Zeero59]

I just bought a one(rs5) and it seems like I can only have one custom watch face. is it normal or I'm just missing something? BTW nice video

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! Apologies, I don't have the watch any more, so difficult to say for sure, but I'm pretty certain it allowed me more than one custom watch face

[@Zeero59]

​@@ReganCipherI did try with both the apps haylou fun and hello haylou but I can have only 1 for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with firmware updates ig.(The app doesn't show me any updates or the shop I bought it has already updated it)

[@zanzy001]

Hi, currently using the RS4+ and one annoying thing about it is that it needed my phone connection to track cycling . Is that the same case with the RS5? its the only bumme of this watch tbh. Well and the ability to save notes from your phone on the watch

[@zanzy001]

And one more thing, does the alarm feature allow use of the speaker too, or just vibration

[@ReganCipher]

Yeah you still need the phone unfortunately 😞

[@ReganCipher]

I think it was just vibration. Unfortunately I don't have the watch any more to confirm though 😭

[@_-Z-]

Thank you for another great review! 👍

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you mate 🙌

[@真実が勝つ]

Very good review. Thank you.

[@Sheikhsaboor707]

Nice review, but haylou rs5 do not support WhatsApp calling . If they enable Bluetooth calling on it , they also need to work more on it to enable people WhatsApp calls through watch.

[@ReganCipher]

Thanks! Yeah I did cover that - no WhatsApp, no telegram, no Teams, just cell calls 😕

[@nabil.adel31]

The Haylou RS5 and S8 are not smooth as the Haylou RS4 Plus i've tried all of them RS4 plus seems way smooth when you scroll on the menu and the animation are better i don't know i think it might be the cpu problem since the RS5 and S8 seems like they getting between 30hz and 40hz at top

[@ReganCipher]

@travis015 said the same. Sad times! BTW - thanks for watching and for commenting 🙌

[@GametronProGamer]

Very Detailed Review Dear

[@GAMESEVIL]

Can you make a video comparing Haylou RS5 vs Haylou Watch S8?

[@ReganCipher]

If they send it to me, I'll compare them 👍

[@saadabdullah4245]

So sorry i seem like i always bug you for recommendations. Do you think the cmf watch by nothing is better than this?

[@ReganCipher]

Probably the CMF but watch the video from thequantifiedscientist first!

[@adeebs8072]

Great review. Is it really better than rs4 plus?

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! I didn't try the RS4 Plus, but someone in the comments here has and said other than a tiny bit more lag in the menu, it's much better. IIRC they also said the RS4+ had some lag until it was fixed with firmware updates, but like I said I can't say for sure as I didn't try it

[@adeebs8072]

Thanks for the reply man. I do have a thin wrist. Wearing big watches is a nightmare for me. It looks bigger even on your hands. I'm thinking of buying this one, but i got thin wrists.

[@ReganCipher]

@@adeebs8072 no worries! My wrist is pretty thin if that helps you judge the size (6.5")

[@adeebs8072]

​@@ReganCiphermine's 6"😢

[@pimimingaming537]

can use for swimming?

[@ReganCipher]

It's ip68, which means you can submerge it (showers or baths are fine) but the added pressure from swimming is not something I would recommend. Haylou don't mention swimming anywhere in their marketing material so I would say no

[@BBB-pe3ip]

Is the RS4 Plus (more expensive) better in any way?

[@ReganCipher]

In this listing - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ey7Pkap - there is a comparison there in the details, and it suggests the RS5 ticks many more boxes than the RS4 Plus, but I can't say for absolute certainty as I haven't tried it 😢

[@vihangaanuththara]

Nice Review ❤

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you!! 🙌👍

[@miku-dk3up]

Can you skip music tracks from my phone on the smart watch many thanks 😊

[@ReganCipher]

I don't have the watch any more but I'm pretty certain it will

[@Travis015]

It looks very laggy for some reason

[@ReganCipher]

I wouldn't say it feels laggy, but when you're scrolling down a long menu it feels like the scrolling speed accelerates after around 0.5s and then goes too fast so you have to kinda slow it down with your finger. Maybe that's what makes it look laggy, idk 😕

[@Travis015]

​@@ReganCipheri have the rs4 plus and it looks way smother when it comes to animation it's weird because both of them have 60hz refresh rate i hope it's a software issue

[@hasnat10]

​@@Travis015 I was thinking the same thing When they've advertised 60HZ and we aren't even getting it

[@Travis015]

@@hasnat10 it's definitely not 60hz bro
