ROGBID Tank M5 Ultra BT Call IP68 1.85” screen & Integrated LED Flashlight Smartwatch: Quick Review

I appreciate the larger screen, but how many times over the years have we seen this exact UI recycled on boatloads of different watches/brands?

Yeah it feels like every single smartphone on the market outside of the name brands is using the same sort of mass produced OEM OS. This helps keeps the cost down there's only so much you can do with hardware when the OS is what it is.

@@VonnegutRosewater-yi4rk That's a stupid analogy. Every Android OEM puts their own spin/skin/customizations on their own devices. This is literally the exact same free OS used on a ton of different smartwatch brands. And the watch faces suck. They're basic and look like they were created by a bunch of kindergartners.

Jumping in for a second here, this device is a watch, not a phone, and it's not an Android smartwatch either. It's got a simple UI which is a bit unique in that it accounts for the addition of a real LED flashlight (usually a flashlight app only turns the screen bright white to emulate a flashlight). Something truly unique to these different OEM smartwatches are the watch faces. This particular watch, with its large size, has some of the best designed stock faces I've seen in a long time. They are actually fun to use and show off the watch quite well. Hope this helps. Check out the longer unboxing review which is up now for more info.

Yikes! There is such a beast from Rogbid? Things are getting so complex with the naming of these watches these days. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the heads up.
