Smart watch with a sim card. A selection of "watch phones" with clones and replicas

    While some are recalling their models, while others are replenishing the line, we have prepared for you a small selection of original smart watches that are independent of the phone, because they are, in fact, a telephone.



    Neptune Pine

    One of the first “gizmos” that comes to mind whenever it comes to smart phone models. The young nugget gathered with friends in 2013 and put up a prototype “smart pager” on a crowdfunding venue, which so many people attacked in 24 hours that a full-fledged production model had already gone to CES-2014.



    Despite the success, the result turned out to be very predictable: the “non-hourly” size made the model terribly uncomfortable sitting on the hand, removing and inserting them back into the strap is still a pleasure, they worked a little, and if they were really used for communication, they did not live a day .

    Supported by the Android operating system, where Apk-Ashkami could throw all your favorite applications. The screen, although it allowed to surf, doing it was uncomfortable. If you put your hands on your chest, then the person you heard could hear you when the watch was on your wrist, but in the process of walking, the voice was already merging with the buzz. I talked on them, bluh to them a bluetooth headset.



    They worked on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, they had a 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A5 processor, Qualcomm
    Snapdragon and 512 operatina memory. They were delivered in two versions - 16 GB and 32 GB internal, where you could store photos and selfies from the rear and front cameras. Later they promised to release a heart rate monitor, but something was somehow inaudible. The catalog was, but now do not supply. Last price 23 500 rubles .

    VEGA The

    closest in terms of design was Vega - a 3G / Wi-fi clock on Android that appeared in the news a year earlier - in 2012, and therefore worked on an even more “archaic” android 2. 2. Supported many entertaining photo / audio / video formats and the rest is almost Neptune, only asymmetric. They are standing and now approx. $ 300.



    SMARUS

    Slightly modified they are sold in Russia as SMARUS for 6 900 rubles. Here you have a radio, and 32 GB, an audio / video player, cameras, - and all on Android 4.1.1 with talk time of up to two hours.



    The Smarus lineup is unusually wide, and is confidently present in Russian reality. And in individual online stores there are even more of them than on the official website. Leather, premium straps, new items with newer versions of Android with a price tag of up to 15 thousand rubles.



    The “Chinese Android Watch”, “GD930”, and “GT08” models sold in VKontakte as an analogue of Apple should be attributed to the same Chinese variants, although they did not even bother to “attach” the site and prepare a name for them. Beauty in general.

    Also in Russia, models similar to the early Samsungs, such as Bizzaro, are common, and they are also similar to the LG Watch Phone, of the same one from 2009.



    The latter, by the way, at that time, was "the embodiment of our ideas about the future, in which miniature gadgets are becoming more functional ." And if you believe the same release, it was very convenient to talk on it, but in addition to this function, it had nishtyak peculiar to the time, such as an mp3 player. For all this in 2009 it was required to lay out 29,000 rubles. Now, for example, the LG Urbane smart watch, however, without a sim, costs 19,000 !

    If you list the Chinese, then you can go crazy, because the same GT08 are also known as one of the ORDRO models . These, by the way, are without an operating system and work with both platforms: iOS / Android.



    However, some set out to remember everyone by name, and such models will not go into oblivion thanks to the 3G Watches portal , which is still trying to sell smart watches in China for 200-300-400 US dollars, as it was several years ago.





    Company No. 1 The

    well-known manufacturer “slightly modified” the popular LG models and issued a weak device for IOS and Android devices, which is synchronized with them via Bluetooth. There is a place for a flash drive and a SIM card, but in order to use it, you will need to buy a wireless headset. This watch, by the way, with a heart rate monitor!



    Also, inglorious Chinese craftsmen filled the gap of good, in general, watches - LG G Watch R , removing “Wear” from them, leaving Android and adding a sim card. The model is known as AWatch , and as the less harmonious K8 3g .



    The acclaimed "authoritative" model with sim support last year became Gear S2, which were created in conjunction with the famous designer and architect Alessandro Mendini . The watch receives notifications, counts steps, calories, measures the pulse, but works again without Android Wear - on Tizen.



    The watches on Android Wear, modified by Urbane, in which LTE support was supposed to appear, have not been lucky yet. Recently it became known that they are being recalled due to hardware problems.

    However - not Android'om single. It was also recently promised that in December, the “antique” Athena model should be expected from Hexxa, in which in addition to a SIM card there will be a Mastercard payment chip, heart rate monitor and GPS.



    And today there was newsthat Omate will launch on Indiegogo on December 7 with a similar proposal: a watch with sim support.



    So for those who are very eager to talk by the hour, almost all conditions have been created, and even better ones will be created. On the other hand, this is not at all necessary, and such models were not flooded with lists of the best for this year . In our opinion, the Wi-fi version of Urbane and the second Moto360 , which continue to send you notifications even when the phone is forgotten at home, look very strong against the rest . The design, of course, is not inferior to the Gear S2 , but they can also be without a SIM card.

    In the final, it must be said that some children's watchesbelong to the same category, and they are in great demand among parents who need to know where the child is at a particular moment.

    “Big-big secret” (c) A

    phone with recognizable heroes of fixation so that “Masya” and “Papus” know where their child is at the age, probably, taking into account the design, class to the second.



    The model is equipped with quick buttons, and in fact it is a phone with a GPS / LBS module, made in "wearable form". A gadget with a rectangular monochrome OLED screen with a diagonal of 0.64 '', in standby mode which displays the current time and date, as well as the battery charge and the antenna power of the mobile signal. At the bottom of the front panel is a microphone window and a large oval SOS button. The cost of 5,990 rubles .

    Caref - a little more attractive, neutral, a little more expensive - 6,990 rubles . Functions are similar: GPS / LBS, the ability to call "authorized" numbers and the SOS signal.
