Having a smartwatch nowadays is quite normal for many people. There many types of available smartwatches that are available almost everywhere and made by popular brands and lesser known ones alike. But not many of those can support Bluetooth call functions. By call functions, I meant talking to your wrist for calls, just like in Star Trek.

Now you don’t have to invest lots of money to have that because Blitzwolf has that exact function at a much cheaper price. And best of all, it works like a charm.

Let me introduce you to
Blitzwolf BW-AT2C
 smartwatch and fitness tracker. It has all the usual health monitoring functions but it can also double as a phone for quick calls to your favourite contacts. And you can do all that without pulling out your phone from your pocket or bag.

Not only that is a great function to have on a smartwatch, but it is also very cool to use. As I tested the smartwatch, I’ve used the Bluetooth call function all the time. It feels cool and futuristic, that is what a smartwatch should function. And the idea of a smartwatch is to minimize the use of a phone especially when you’re on the move.

First, let me start from the beginning.

Blitzwolf BW-AT2C: First Look

As usual, I got my
Blitzwolf BW-AT2C smartwatch
 from Banggood.com website. Banggood is now my go-to website for anything techie and cool gadgets. And when I saw the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C, I knew I had to give it a try.

Delivery took just over a week to reach my doorstep. And the package is wrapped nicely with bubble wrap. The Blitzwolf BW-AT2C came in an elongated box. It is quite big but I guess the watch itself will be big and rugged. I was right. It is bigger and thicker than usual but it has a rugged look and feels solid.

The shell is made of plastic. It may look like it is made using a cheap plastic material and the watch strap is made of silicone with a quick release pin for easy replacement. Although it has a cheap look, what’s hiding underneath is something worth the money.

In the box, there is also the charger cable with the standard USB type-A and magnetized charger pins. Attaching the charger pins to the watch is very snappy and it holds well. Since the charging port is in the rear side of the shell, you will have to take off the watch to charge it.

The 400mAh battery lasts a very long time. On full charge, the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C can last more than a week and to charge it up to 100% took less than an hour. Very impressive indeed.

I received the grey colour variant. It looks quite good on my wrist with its rugged features but I do feel like it is quite big. It measures about 52x52x12mm in size and it weighs about 55g. It looks big but I don’t feel the weight on my wrist, which is a good thing.

At the back of the watch, there’s the sensor module to monitor your heart rate as well as other health monitoring features like SpO2 level, Blood Pressure and sleep tracking. Above the sensor is the earlier said charging port.

There are two buttons on the right side of the watch. One says “Open” and the other says “Down”. Basically, the one that says Open is also a wake function and once you scroll the screen left or right, pressing it will bring you back to the main page. The Down button however, will let you scroll downwards when you’re in any menu and also to scroll through the menu from the main page. In between the two buttons, there is a microphone hole to pick up your voice during a call.

Now on the left side of the watch is the speaker. So when you’re in a call, sound will come out from this end. The sound quality is to my surprise, loud and clear. Having a conversation is good. On another note, if you turn on any music on your phone while the phone mode is on, sounds from the music app will be played from the watch’s speaker.

The overall look of Blitzwolf BW-AT2C is good. It has that rugged look and is quite sturdy. One thing that you have to take note of is that the watch is IP54 certified so you cannot take it swimming with you and not entirely protected against dust. However, it can still survive small splashes or water sprays.

Blitzwolf BW-AT2C: Functions

To get your phone synced up with the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C, first you have to install an app called Da Fit. You can find it on both
Google Play Store
 and
Apple App Store
. Having the app on both platforms means that the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C is highly compatible. I have it installed for my Android phone so that’s what I’m using. Best of all, I can have all the data to sync with Google Fit app as well.

Accessing the menu is a little bit different. Swiping towards the right will bring you to each of the function pages like steps, sleep tracker, heart rate monitor, training function, phone function, blood pressure reading, SpO2 level reading, Weather, Shutter (to control your phone’s camera shutter) and Player (to control music app). The menu pages on this one doesn’t go in a loop so to go back to the main watch screen, you have to either swipe towards the left again or simply press the “Open” button.

Now swiping from the main watch screen towards the left will bring you to the menu where you need to swipe up and down to select the functions you want. From here you can access basically the same as swiping right earlier but with an additional menu for settings and play a game called Young Bird. It is basically a Flappy Bird game but with a name change made for this watch so you can kill some time.

The Blitzwolf BW-AT2C can also be used as your health and activity tracker. The sensor at the back of the watch is able to track your daily activities but it doesn’t have as much specific sport options. It only comes with Walking, Running, cycling, Skipping, Badminton, Basketball and Football. With the sports functions, it can constantly monitor your heart rate and blood oxygen level and the amount of calories burnt during any of those activities.

I don’t find that the lack of training program monitoring is a disadvantage because the Training mode is able to capture more than enough information that is needed. For me it is made to keep it simple and easy to start any activities you have in mind with just a single tap in the menu.

As for the heart rate monitoring, it worked well. I can say that it is quite accurate because I have compared it with the two recently reviewed
Mi Band 6
 and the
Honor Band 6
. All of them including the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C captured almost the same amount of heart rate at one time. You can also have the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C to continuously monitor your heart rate throughout the day and have it warn you when there’s any abnormal heartbeat.

In the Da Fit app, you can see there’s two heart rate monitoring functions. One is to monitor your highs and lows and the other is the continuous heart rate monitor. From this app, you can get better insights of your health stats.

Apart from the heart rate monitoring, the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C will be able to track your SpO2 level as well. That is for the blood oxygen level in your body. And again, the reading is quite accurate as well because I did the same comparison with the Mi Band 6 and Honor Band 6.

The Blitzwolf BW-AT2C also has a blood pressure level monitoring function. For this, I have to compare it with another previously reviewed
Blitzwolf BW-HL3
 smartwatch. Both readings are almost identical. The blood pressure reading is just for your own reference and may not entirely be accurate. It will only help you with a reference and not for actual medical use.

The main selling point for the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C is the Bluetooth call function. I have said this earlier in this post and I’m sure this function will come in handy for you. I usually turn the phone mode on when I’m driving in case anyone calls me. It also has a Recent Call, Dial Pad and Contacts (up to 8 favourite contacts) in the phone menu for easy access. You can easily assign your favourite contacts from the Da Fit app.

it is also good to note that the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C smartwatch comes with tons of watch faces that you can choose from in the Da Fit app. The amount of available watch faces are awesome. I am having a tough time selecting the best one that I can use and I am drown in so many options.

Conclusion

The Blitzwolf BW-AT2C is a cool watch to have. I love the rugged look of it and the colour option that I choose is nice. They also have it in black and army green.

If you’re looking for a cheaper option for a Bluetooth call enabled smartwatch, this is a great watch to consider. Calls are loud and clear. You don’t actually have to place the watch close to your mouth while talking because the microphone is able to pick up your voice from up to a meter away. I’ve tested this and it works. The person on the other line is still able to hear me even when I’m not wearing the watch and I can hear him too. Big plus point here.

I love the battery life span. It can stay on standby for more than 2 weeks and just over a week if I have it on me all the time to continuously monitor my health. The huge battery is another plus point for the Blitzwolf BW-AT2C smartwatch.

You can get the
Blitzwolf BW-AT2C smartwatch now at Banggood.com
 website. I can tell you this, I browse the website almost on a daily basis now because I find that the website offers great discounts and has an awesome collection of tech gadgets. Delivery for my Blitzwolf BW-AT2C smartwatch took close to 2 weeks but it is worth all the wait.

What are you waiting for? Go get one for yourself now only at
Banggood.com
. It is currently on sale for
US$45.50

th
 June, Father’s Day is a celebration of the sacrifices and unconditional love our dads have given us over the years.

“Best dad in the world”
 mugs. Instead, why not mix things up a little, and celebrate the occasion by exploring a novel and exciting family activity!

To inspire your plans, we’ve curated a list of fun activities to try out together as a family this Father’s Day. From cozy, stay-at-home activities such as playing video games and watching dad’s favorite films together, to outdoor adventures such as hiking, running and biking, you can now make the most out of precious family time with Samsung’s suite of innovative devices.

1. Introduce your dad to the world of video gaming

Bond with your dad by inviting him into the immersive world of video gaming! While first-person shooters such as Fortnite may be daunting to learn quickly, you may want to introduce him to immersive adventure games such as The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and Resident Evil Village.

Console gamers will be thrilled by the
Samsung Crystal UHD AU9000
, which comes packed with a unique dynamic refresh technology – Motion Xcelerator Turbo – that enables smoother motions and clearer images. And with Super Ultrawide GameView, which lets viewers watch content in 21:9 and 32:9 screen ratios, you can now enjoy more viewing area – perfect for multiplayer games! To top it off, the TV automatically switches to Game Mode when it detects a console has been turned on, and can also optimize its TV settings due to Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which enables more controls with barely noticeable input lag at 5.8ms.

For PC gaming enthusiasts, impress your dad with scenes that vividly come to life on the
Odyssey G7

Packing in 1.7 times the pixel density of Full HD, the Wide Quad-High Definition (WQHD) resolution of the G7 boasts incredibly detailed, pin-sharp images. It also delivers a rapid 240 Hz refresh rate that eliminates lag for exhilarating gameplay with ultra-smooth action, so you can now form the ultimate multiplayer boss team with your dad.

2. Relive dad’s fondest memories from the past through his favorite films and shows

Star Wars
films!

During the launch of the BASKL website via CENDANA’s Facebook Livestream that kicked off approximately at 8.30 pm, the Founding CEO of CENDANA,
Izan Satrina Mohd Sallehuddin
 said, “Since CENDANA’s inception in September 2017, the independent music sector has risen sharply to become the second-highest sector for us.

The broad-ranging efforts come in many forms whether it is professional development, funding programmes, networking opportunities, and more. Today, we are delighted to have an equally important effort reintroduced to drive awareness of the arts and culture sector, including the music industry via the BASKL website.”

Dato’ Sri Haji Mohammad Mentek
 the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (KKMM) underscored the Ministry’s continued support for the music industry, “This (BASKL) is good ecosystem support as the music industry has provided jobs for up to 83,000 Malaysians and every ringgit spent in the music industry generates around RM2.20 of output for the Malaysian economy. Based on this and many other social aspects, the music industry is an industry that KKMM hopes to grow further via the establishment of
Perbadanan Muzik
 and the implementation of a variety of programmes under the Malaysian Creative Industries Stimulus Package (PRISMA).”

Edwin Nathaniel,
 the Vice President of MFM mentioned that “It has been a tough ride for us and the whole music industry during the pandemic. We are trying to keep the scene alive by doing our part in pulling musicians together daily to perform online and live streamed to the wider public. The musicians get to earn their keep, which is important to us.” He added that “The collaboration with CENDANA to feature the 10 MFM musicians for the BASKL website launch was truly special. We are grateful as the partnership with CENDANA will see 490 musicians supported till the end of the year.”

In the spirit of the BASKL website launch and World Music Day, BASKL will feature articles to celebrate Malaysian artists in the music scene in addition to a special curation of the Malaysian music Spotify playlist. Furthermore, a photography contest referred to as the “
KLik
” contest was rolled out. KLik is a monthly photography contest held by BASKL featuring different themes. The theme for the first contest is “
Lagu Dalam Gambar
” where Malaysians are invited to take a picture that reminds the wider public of a Malaysian song. 10 lucky winners will be selected every month to win cash prizes. The contest will start on 29 June 2021 and further details can be found on the BASKL website.

BASKL will open up opportunities for organisers of online and physical art activities (expiration time during PKP), space owners and art associations, art writers, and the general public for their art activities to be promoted via this platform. Writers, photographers, and videographers are aggressively being sought out to introduce an exciting array of content for the wider public. Collaborations with other stakeholders are also most welcomed.

“Music amongst other arts sectors provides jobs for many Malaysians nationwide. Let’s not forget that it is beyond entertainment. Music remains to be critical for many to escape to during the pandemic and heal,” Izan commented.

If you ask if I have my personal and most anticipated smartwatch/smartband that I am actually looking forward to having, my answer is yes. And it is a no brainer that the new Honor Band 6 is one of the smarbands of 2021 that I look forward to.

Why you may ask? It is simply because of the screen design. I must admit. The new Honor Band 6 looks better than the narrower Honor Band 5 and the
recently reviewed Mi Band 6
. The rectangular screen is not too small for my use nor is it too big. To me, the display size is just right.

There are many other smart bands out there that have a similar look as the Honor Band 6. I got mine from
Banggood.com
 and I must say, I am pleased with the Honor Band 6. I received the China version but English is available. When I first turn the band on, it shows all in chinese characters but after pairing with my phone, it will follow the default language from the phone.

Here’s where it gets a little complicated if you’re not a Huawei phone user. In order to use the Honor Band 6 for non Huawei HarmonyOS users, you will have to download an additional app (apart from the Huawei Health app) to be able to use the band. You first need to download an app directly to your phone called Huawei Mobile Services Core, or
HMS Core
 for short. It is an Android APK file and you can simply open the file and it will ask whether you want to install or not. Just go for it.

Once the app is installed, you can then fire up the Huawei Health app and you’re ready to pair. The pairing process is very straightforward and easy.

The Honor Band 6 works really well on any Android devices. However, iOS users may not get to utilize the full function of the Honor Band 6. This may be something that needed to be addressed by Huawei because the Honor Band 6 is good, in my own personal opinion.

Honor Band 6 – First Impressions

When I opened the Honor Band 6 box, the band itself was the first thing that I saw. It is very light but yet sturdy. As I said, I like the screen size. There is a single button on the right side of the band used for the home button and activating the screen, to name a few.

For the initial start, pressing and holding the side button will turn on the band and I was greeted by the Honor logo. The display is awesome. It is an AMOLED display and it is 1.47 inches in size, which is bigger than the Honor Band 5. This is a good upgrade where you can see more data clearly.

The strap is made of UV-treated silicone which is soft and comfortable when wrapped around the wrist. Most of the time I don’t feel it strapped on my wrist. And I often forget that I have it on. The strap is quite narrow, making it look a little awkward. But I kinda got used to it.

You will also find the USB charger cable in the box. Attaching the band with the charger is very snappy and it is magnetized for an easy secured attachment. Also around the back, you can see the heart rate monitor sensor and the charging pins below it.

The Honor Band 6 has a 5 ATM water resistant rating and you can dive in up to 50 meters in depth. It also means you can wear it for a swim and with the fitness app function, you can track your swim stats.

User Experience

Navigating the menu on the Honor Band 6 is easy and responsive. Swiping left or right will loop back to the main screen. Swiping up or down from the main screen will bring you to the settings and quick access to manual heart rate or SpO2 tracker.

One of the main reasons to get a fitness band is to track your health data and stats. From my experience of using the Honor Band 6, the collected data are quite accurate. Just like many other fitness bands, the Honor Band 6 can keep track of your heart rate, SpO2 level (for blood oxygen), stress level, sleep tracking and menstrual cycle tracking for the ladies.

You can have the band keep track of your heart rate continuously or leave it to check once every half hour or so. Leaving it on all the time can drain out the battery quicker. SpO2 level checking can only be done manually because you will have to sit still to get an accurate reading.

What I like most about the Honor Band 6 is the sleep tracking feature. With that, I can know my nightly sleeping patterns and whether I have enough deep sleep moments or not.

For fitness tracking, things can be a little more fun. There are 96 different sets of sports activities that you can track with the Honor Band 6. There will be something for everyone. The most I used is for walking, since that’s the only thing we can do right now because of the lockdown. It will monitor the heart rate and SpO2 level while doing any of the activities. And the stats are quite useful.

If you are doing lots of outdoor activities or much into sports, this is the band for you.

The Huawei Health app shows tons of your fitness data for your reference. You can keep on tracking your fitness and health stats all the time and it will be synced with Huawei Cloud to safely store your data online. And if you switch to another Huawei or Honor band, you can sync back your data to the new band if you wish to.

As for the watch face, there are an abundance of watch faces you can choose from the Huawei Health app on your phone. I had trouble choosing the right one for my taste because there are so many of them. Again, there will always be something for everyone.

The Honor Band 6 is powered by a 180mAh battery that can last up to 2 weeks on a single charge provided that you don’t turn on the continuous heart rate monitor. And to charge it from 5% to 100% will take under an hour. That is quite good.

Conclusion

Like I said earlier, if you’re looking for a good and affordable fitness band, this is the one you should consider. It has a larger screen, great display, long battery life and the health monitoring is quite accurate.

The size is just right that even my wife is interested in it. I may get one for her too since she said the Honor Band 6 is the better looking one compared to those she has seen elsewhere.

Too bad I don’t get to fully test the fitness function just yet due to the current lockdown situation here in Malaysia. But once the restriction is lifted, I will definitely go out for a jog or go swimming with the Honor Band 6.

The Honor Band 6 is affordable for everyone and you can also get it from
Banggood.com website.
 I got mine from the website and they will be having a sale this coming 6.6 so you may not want to miss on that. The current discounted retail price is US$52.99 but you may want to check it out during the 6.6 sale too.

My conclusion of the Honor Band 6, simply awesome.
