Smart Watch Review #smartwatch



I bought this product with a discount in exchange of my unbiased review.



I have been meaning to buy my hubby an Apple watch but it is not within my budget. I wante to give him something decent and sporty, at the same, it can give him some entertainment as the old iPad I have given him in the past. This TWOBIU(TM) U10L Smart Watch comes close in terms of function. Although the price is better than the Apple watch, this smart watch can provide other functions that are also present in most smart watches in the market.




Here are the highlight of the product (taken from its Amazon's product listing)

It is easy to operate and charges quite fast. It is similar to smart phones too because it has a touch-screen functionality. You either swipe to the left or right when you want to choose some app or up and down when selecting from the menu.

Battery life when bluetooth is off lasts for several days. And the good thing about this product is that, even if it's not connected to the bluetooth, you can just use it as a stylish watch.

Charging is easy too. You can plug it to your PC or any charging dock with USB port.

The other features of the smart watch are great. Once it is connected via bluetooth to your smart phone (after downloading an app) whether it is iOS or Android, you can answer call through the phone. You can also access your phone's contacts through the watch.

It is great for walking as it has pedometer, and e-compass and stopwatch.


Much as it has provided functions that my husband can enjoy, there are a few that I certainly didn't like about the product. Namely:

1. The battery is not replaceable. So that means, when the battery's power has been fully utilized over the years, then you have to dispose the entire watch.

2. I cannot find the volume setting to lower the volume of the ring tone. I searched the settings but cannot find it there nor in the other functions.

3. Sometimes, the touch screen hangs.

4. It is a bit of a challenge to connect it to my phone's bluetooth. It does connect but then disconnects after few seconds. So, I have to reconnect again.



My recommendation:

This Smart Watch is what my budget can afford. I like how it looks even if it is a bit bulky than the expensive smart watches out there. It has its pros and cons. The lagging connectivity, touch screen issue and lack of volume setting turn me off.  I prefer to buy the pricier ones. However, if this is what your budget can afford and will make-do with the other functionality, then it is an ok watch.

Watch For A Special Man

My husband will turn 45 in 2 years time. Enough time for me to save money for a special gift for him. He loves watches and he collects all styles and brands but only the mid-range priced ones as we cannot afford the luxury brands.

I casually asked him one time if he ever gets to buy a watch that he really likes from his own money, what would it be. Well, his response is a no brainer - Rolex. Isn't that the brand most people want? I smiled and joked that I should be doing double time with my work and blogs then if I need to buy him that expensive watch.

There are other luxurious and high quality brands in the market that can be considered good options if my budget doesn't meet the price of a Rolex. There is the sporty Tag Heuer, Tissot, Bulova, the bright and bold selections of Movado, the high-tech Breitling, the fancy Cartier and Omega.

I remember my dad's Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolex while I grew up. He guarded it because it was really expensive and it still is. So, I guess, the special man of my life also deserves his own Rolex at some point. I want it to be a big surprise.
