Summary:
Affordable Bluetooth smartwatch that looks good, but isn’t too smart…
The brand: SKMEI
The model: 1255
The pros:
Price – This is an affordable smartwatch.
Design – In my opinion, this watch offers an attractive design.
Display – The watch has a large and clear display with big digits.
Synchronization with the smartphone – The time & date synchronizes easily with the smartphone, so you don’t have to adjust them from the watch.
Battery life – It is expected to last 6-12 months, which is by far much more compared to normal smart watches/bracelets.
The cons:
Materials – The materials used in this watch are very simple.
It isn’t that smart after all – The “smart features” featured are the minimum that I encountered so far in a Bluetooth smartwatch.
Basic app – The app (“Xwatch”) is a simple app that doesn’t have anything special about it (As of this moment, it received only 2.5 / 5 grade on “Google Play” store).
I didn’t manage to use some of the app’s features – The reminders & camera shutter features didn’t work for me up to this moment.
User manual – very long (18 pages), very small fonts that makes it hard to read.
Replacing the battery – To replace the battery, you need to open the watch, unlike real smartwatch that you can charge using a USB connection or wireless charging.
Not so comfortable band – The band is not as comfortable as I remembered with the SKMEI 1142. While wearing this watch, I felt a pressure in the buckle’s area.
The control buttons – The 4 control buttons aren’t intuitive to control, and I’m not sure everyone will be able to cope with it easily.
