What did you like
1. It was a surprise for me to discover the full set of functionality of a regular smartphone (calendar, alarm clock, timer, notes, calculator, voice recorder, FM receiver and even a reader for books)
1. Jokes-jokes, but I liked how they look on hand. They look quite solid.
2. You can talk without a headset or microphone. The watch has a built-in speaker and microphone.
3. Photo and VIDEO camera. Chinese craftsmen shoved even that there. It’s filming the truth lousy, but it does!
4. A huge surprise for me was to find a folding stylus, which is stuffed into the watch strap.
5. Voice quality is indistinguishable from a regular telephone.
6. Without recharging, they stayed with me for around 2 days.
7. Inexpensive price (260 USD in Russia)
What did NOT like
1. Headphones included - sucks. Fortunately, the connector for them is standard and they can easily be replaced with any others.
2. Thick rubber strap. Personally, I was not comfortable all day sitting at them at the computer. I shot them a couple of times a day since my hand was sweating and it became not comfortable. Loosening the strap helped, but I personally don’t like it when the watch hangs on my hand.
3. Bluetooth headset. Today I discovered an interesting thing. I am walking along the street, the headset receiver is attached to the collar of the shirt. If you hold your hand "at the seams" - interference begins. If you bend it (as if you are looking at the clock), then the interference disappears. The headset receiver was to blame for this, since with a different headset everything works fine.
4. Russian language in read only mode. That is, you can read Russian SMS, but writing in Russian is not possible.
5. Polyphony mentally brought me back to the time of midi calls.
6. The buttons for quick response and switching tracks are hard to press. Honestly, they called me, I tried to click on the green answer (to the left of the touch screen) and in 1 out of 3 cases I did not succeed.
A few photos
Conclusion
If it annoys you to carry the phone in your pocket and you only need the phone to ring, it will suit you. For all the other spoiled geeks, this phone is a toy to show to friends and colleagues.
ps Unfortunately, my "photo session" of these watches disappeared without a trace, so the authorship of the photos is not mine.
