The Bluetooth connection with the Mobile instead seems OK. Overall a beauty. PS: i got the black version as at the time of purchase there was no choice of polished steel color......one last thing...I have just noticed that there is a firmware update OTA....I was wondering if that might fix the TWS headset issue?

@@hasanalnoman2838 I personally never used the feature...I don't have the watch anymore ...already swapped for the Kospet Tank M1. Anyway that watch has a great display with bright vivid colors and amazing sound coming from the speaker. The only reason I have replaced is that I now wanted one that is fully water-prof and the tank is.

[@andrevansoeren]

I rolled the dice and bought this watch through our Chinese friends from AliExpress. There, this particular watch was sold as a Lige watch. Yeah it's as much of a Lige as it is a Bakeey. But nevertheless I went ahead. Now using it for the second day and for my simple use it will do. However I cannot get the phone dial and contacts to function. The watch keeps saying "please connect bluetooth from the phone setting". All the permissions are set correctly and location is on. There is a connection because other settings and new watchfaces are sent properly to the watch. The Z18 also shows up in the bluetooth settings as connected. Reinstalled the app, cleared several caches, toggled airplane mode and more. Does someone over here have a tip for me (other than ditching the phone because I still like it)? That would be highly appreciated.

[@ahmadihsansetiawan1687]

Please help, im using phone mode and hoping to be able to change music from my Z18 and the music still come out from my phone. but the reality is, the music came out from the Z18. i cant figure it out how to solve it. if anyone has any idea, please help..

You need to both tether to the app on your phone AND pair the watch like Bluetooth earbuds to your phone to get audio connection and Bluetooth calling.

No, not really. There may be some in a face store in the app, but I honestly don't remember. If is, I probably show it in the review. Sorry, just too many watches to keep track of them all these days. Have another look at the review, especially the part about the app.

[@richardmark1475]

Great compressed review. Thanks for confirming it has the accurate Red Diodes for SPO2. I’m tempted to get this watch, but can you confirm if the App has the SPO2 alarm feature if SPO2 drops below user set Threshold? I like the Hband App mostly for its SPO2 alarm feature. Thanks.

[@SWT]

Thanks for the feedback. I don't see an SpO2 alarm function on either the watch or app, unfortunately. It's not doing continuous reading, either. These would be better suited for that function as they have sleep apnea alarms based on SpO2 drops in readings: kzbin.info/aero/PLGZLicZ6A2vXBqaqdhcx4KodhglwbhBEs

[@richardmark1475]

Great video! No timer mode?

[@SeanBradford89]

Just did the update from 2.05.05 to 2.07.03. Can't see any real difference yet but will keep an eye on it and let you know if I find anything. Just a heads up that the firmware update will fail if you let the watch screen go into idle mode. It won't flag that it's failed, it just won't work. Keep the screen on the firmware update progress for the full time. Once it hits 100%, it'll go dormant for a couple of minutes. I was scared that I'd bricked it because there was no warning, but it restarted a few minutes later. Again, still no idea what's changed but will let you all know 👍🏻

[@gorgonismztruth1551]

I got 2 of these for my GF and myself but it seems to be a bad watch due to some issues you didn't cover in you video. 1. there is no way to ad you own image as a watch background sad they least such a basic feature. 2. The sleep tracked doesn't work at all. did they even test this watch at all? 3. The BT calling feature causes the watch to randomly take all the audio from your phone and you have to switch it back every Time lol . 4. this is not a BT5 watch its 4.2.. sad.. will have to return both and go back to my AMAZFIT GT2

[@gorgonismztruth1551]

@@SeanBradford89 the information is still true .. Are you okay with those issues?

[@SeanBradford89]

Not a real issue for me, but maybe for those that'd use those features. My main concern was battery life and connection stability to my phone. I never wear my watch to bed, so sleep tracking doesn't bother me. The review never said anything about making your own images as a background so I had no issues there. Bluetooth 5 isn't a huge deal for me and neither is Bluetooth calling. It would be nice if you could have the ability to answer on the watch and then easily go to your phone without as much hassle but it's a minor issue. Again, this is for my use so for people that count on the features you mentioned, they'd be wise to check that the watch they bought had the features they wanted.

I particularly wanted to see this review as description say "Alwayson Screen" BUT you did not describe this screen in enough detail! I bought one of the most expensive smart watches as the sales person said 'Yes it does have Always on setting' - Why doesn't always on actually mean what the pictures show? The advertising shows what they look like when the screen TURNS ON - I expected thats what 'Always on' feature would look like - But 'Always On' on ALL smart watches actually still dims (you can see screen is on but faintly. I'm and older person (I turn my wrist slowly to see the time smart watch won't turn on) I don't want to FLICK my wrist to see the time brighter. Why doesn't Always On actually STAY ON BRIGHT? Probably to save battery life and just dim down a little - BUT I want a watch to do everything PLUS look like an OLD analogue watch. Why does your video description have 'Alwayson' in it? MOST smart watches have this function I found out but it doesn't mean the watch stays ON like the Advertising photos show - what's the point of having all these different watch faces you can only see for a couple of minutes?
