i guess if the usb connector is not long enough on this one could remove the plastic case and stick some hot glue on it to make it longer.

so i got the impression though that you cannot store music on u8 pro itself, right?

also i`m kind of assuming that you would not be able to use u8 pro with bluetooth headset
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
headset of headphones? you should be able to use a headset but it might get a bit complicated. like if you answered on the phone and wanted to switch to the headset, it might switch to the watch instead of the headset but thats the only problem that might come up. because this watch is its own phone, it allows you answer the phone with the audio coming out of the phone and if you answer on the watch the sound will come out of the watch, the headset shouldnt get in the way... but thats based off my understanding of how the watch and bluetooth works, ill update when i get the watch haha

update: i said up there that answering on the phone would make the audio come out of the phone while answering on the watch will make the audio come out of the watch. well earlier today i asked on youtube whether or not this is true and the guy said that it is false. audio will always come out of the watch. BUT in the elegance u8 thread, someone said that the the audio will only come out of the watch if you answer on the watch, so im not sure. can anyone else confirm whether this is true or false?

Shake yr arms better, it will slowly come on . No need pedometer.
[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
I think the strap is a standard 24mm wide or just slightly less than 1 inch.

It looks pretty standard with except that the pin holding it is not a spring loaded type but

in fact looks as if it is some sort of screw with a hexaganol head

of the type you would put a very small Allen key in.

Changing it looks as though it should be pretty easy if you have two such Allen keys.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Not quite as easy as that because the metal outer case has to be 8mm all the way back from the tip to the shoulder on the plastic.

I read somewhere about someone stripping back the standard plastic plug and finding just the wires underneath.

There is a web site I found selling the longer tip variety of micro USB plug so if it arrives I will test it and maybe I can post a link.

You are correct I think as so far the only music I have played was on my smart phone.

The Bluetooth headphones might not be a problem as you can probable pair them with your smart phone

if the watch won't recognise them , which I suspect it wont.

The odd thing even then the volume control on the watch, in my case won't communicate with the volume control in my music app.

It will make the tracks skip and pause, pity about the volume control.

It is a dedicated piece of firmware as opposed to Android so it boots up very quickly but there are limitations unless the manufacturer posts updates to the firmware.

The battery life is quite good so far, for me a day of light use at least. Charging is pretty quick. It will of course charge off a lap top or aux battery using its 8mm micro USB cable.

upro3 or upro p3

Anyone has used or played with the upro p3 ?

The upro p3 , according to the ads on it net, is newer and based on bluetooth 3.0.
[Other SmartWatches] Taylormade30k:
U8 pro vs. uPro p3

I wondering the exact same thing. P3 has everything u8 pro has with the addition of a media player and with the exception of the sleep monitor. The P3 does has less battery life overall and in my opinion and looks a lot cheaper. I believe it is mainly made of plastic as opposed to the U8 pro witch is made of steal/silicone. I wish somebody who currently has a U-Pro P3 would tell us what they think about it and also provide a video as well. I do think U8 Pro looks a lot better, but UPro 3 has more functions but looks cheap and has about half the battery life of the U8 Pro
[Other SmartWatches] Rene_ajax:
i ask this myself also.

but i think gearbest is pretty legit/?

On aliexpress there are lot of sellers, but you dont really know which one is legit. Gearbest looks more professional and trustable, also fatser shipping?

I think i will just go buy on gearbest

what are other users experiences?? on buying the u8 pro
[Other SmartWatches] dfoust:
the gearbest are crooks, I have ordered the u8 pro about 5 days and still have not shipping & given me track number
[Other SmartWatches] Rene_ajax:
then what shop is fastest for shipping?? I ordered 1 time from aliexpress it was amazingly fast. and good support. but no paypal. its also more expensive than gearbest
[Other SmartWatches] takuya_kanbara:

hi, i have a review about this watch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6XO3mqCIEw
[Other SmartWatches] edwinroos:
Hi I have two watches..

U8 and one UPro. :mad:

The first one (U8) seems to work better for me because when I receive an e-mail it show it directly to me on the watch. It pops-up and I can see directly who is emailing me with subject.

The UPro only gives a signal and the clock lights up when an email arrives but refuses to let me see from who it is, with the standard “btnotify-1321” software.

I tested both watches with the standard U8 software and discover that both watches work fine with:

SmartWatch7.1.1.apk​

Download from:

ftp://211.144.196.251

only “Find Phone” UPro Watch is not working. But notification is ten times better.

Hey guys, just one quick and probably stupid question...

How do I get the Uwatch Pro to only control my music player (Poweramp) and not always play the music through this crappy watch speaker? I want to use my wired headset and I would be OK with only skipping tracks and not being able to use volume control.

Read almost the whole thread and couldnt find out...:(
[Other SmartWatches] AtzeOnAcid:
I have ordered from Gearbest, no problems here. Best price I could find and shipping took about ten days to Germany, which is pretty fair imho. Tracking number didnt work the first few (5?) days, though... It took most of the time to get the watch from Gearbest to Netherlands Post, but when it was on the way, it was as fast as a plane gets;)

[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
There is a setting in power amp to decide where the output goes, set it to the non Bluetooth option. You need also to select the watch under Bluetooth on the android settings menu so that you can control it by watch.

Need the password of the watch

Hi everyone

Does anyone knows the password of the watch i can't turn it on.

Thank you

Albeagle007
[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
password

Normally the watch dosnt require a password to turn on so maybe it is the password for the sim card that you have in it that it is looking for. If not that try removing the sim card and turning the watch on. I thinknthe factory default password is 000 or 0000.
[Other SmartWatches] pir8man:
Just got my U8 Pro (P1) yesterday. Had some difficulty getting it setup. This thread was immensely helpful. I had some issues getting things working, so I thought I'd post what I found:

BT Notification v1.3.xx is not updated for Lollipop and work fine in KitKat 4.4.

SmartWatch BT4.0 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ble.SmartWatch&hl=en (AKA SmartWatch 6.x/7.x) is updated for Lollipop 5.0 (yes it runs in KitKat also)

When I installed SmartWatch 7.1.1 from this thread, it still would not connect to my watch, but I ran the in-app update to 7.1.3 and everything started working smoothly. Still no 'Find my Phone' feature, but everything else works.

I also Tried out SmartWear from Galapad Technology Ltd https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galapad.btnotification&hl=en. This app works fine to push notification out to the watch, but does nothinng to get the watch to work with your phone (remote camera, read messages, etc. on watch).

I went back to SmartWatch 7.1.3. It appears to work best with this watch for us Lollipop 5.0 users.
[Other SmartWatches] albeagle007:
When i got the watch about 2 weeks ago it worked great and it didn't ask for anything, i have used it for 2 weeks. I don't use a sim card, i just connect it to my smartphone and there is no password required. One day i forgot to charge the battery and the watch turned off itself. When i plugged in to charge it, when i turned it on it is asking for a password, there are 3 trials, after 3 wrong passwords it turns off itself, then when you turn it on, it asks again for a password with 3 trials and so on. So no sim inserted and no smartphone password needed. Maybe when it turned off the first time, it has tried to reset itself and this way it needs a password (i think they have a password to reset) which usually is 0000 or 1234 or 1122 or 1111. So I have tried a lot of passwords, none of them worked. I suppose it is a resetting password, so now it doesn't turn on without the pass. So it is not a sim password nor my smartphone password cause i don't have any. I have also tried to put a sim card and start but the same. I wonder why the manufacture didn't write the password on the manual. I can't use the watch for almost a week now :(

[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
A new version

Hi all, just got a new version of this phone. Almost identical to the previous one but with a micro SD card slot as well as a micro sim slot. The battery is now a 350 instead of a 250 so maybe it will run longer.

About the SD card. I have tried it with cards up to 16gb which it recognises and can use.

It can be pointed to use the card for each function where storage is required including audio files. The problem is I have no idea where it expects to find the audio files on the SD card. It might be a directory that has to be created but as usual the documentation, while in English this time, is not very detailed.

There seems to be many little features in this budget watch that are very useful if only the documentation was better. You can get the alarm to use an mp3 recording on the card from any directory but not the audio player.

Anyone know how to get the audio player to work?

The place where extra long micro USB to 3.5 mm jack socket can be purchase?
[Other SmartWatches] reliant_turbo:
where did you get the new version?
[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
On eBay UK from a store called charmday88.

Also if you want the audio player to work with the SD card in the watch then your music must be in a directory called "my music" which gets scanned if you set the playlist to automatic and alter the icons next to the audio settings control. For 300 tracks it takes under 5 minutes to generate a play list. Note that if the watch is connected to your phone you need to break the BT audio connection before you will see all the options. This can be done by using the audio recorder when you will be prompted to break the BT connection.

The SD card in the phone can be seen and the contents altered by using the USB cable that comes with the phone connected to a lap top and selecting storage mode on the watch when prompted. So loading it up with music is pretty easy.

The watch cost me around £35 and is pretty interesting. It still has the same restrictions as the previous watch in respect of controlling the audio player on the phone. That is it will only let you pause or go forward or back a track.

These watches don't like moisture even the kind you get with condensation or humidity but other than that they function well.

Having full Android on a watch is a bit of an overkill given the size of the screen but this little proprietary OS works well, takes less power and loads quicker. Unfortunately it isn't perfect but for the money it is very functional. The stand alone phone is more useful than one might imagine.

Control Music Player

Sorry, couldnt help with the password, as I ve never experienced this issue.

I am still having another problem with the watch - I couldnt manage to use the watch to control my smartphone music player app (Poweramp). It will always play the music over the watches speaker instead of my headphones, which are connected to the phone.

I guess this has something to do with the higher priority of BT playback equipment in Android, am I right?

But if I uncheck the "Media-Audio"-box in the phones' BT settings, the music app on the watch wouldnt connect to the phone at all.

Does anybody have any ideas?

I ve only bought the watch to control music while riding bike , so as is, it is pretty useless to me...:(

pedometer

I have tried to get the watch to light up by shaking with the pedometer off.

I am pretty convinced that if the pedometer is off the watch will only light up if you press the button.

This is a pity as the pedometer or maybe the fact the watch lights up more seems to drain the battery much quicker.

I also notice that all the pictures I thought I was taking remotely are not on my phone or anywhere else for that matter.

This is not a show stopper for me but it is a bit disappointing. I note someone else said it sometimes works and to try different versions of btnotify.

There are on the watch phone under messaging some template messages such as "call me now".

Anyone know how to edit these to more useful template messages or are they fixed?
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
For the picture to save on the phone all I did was uninstall and reinstall a combo of the bt notify program and the media one people mention. Eventually the pictures saved to the phone. So maybe try that. I probable did it like 4 times. And ended up using bt notify because everything eventually worked.

you can access images by turning of the watch and connecting to computer. once it is charging the humongous 1.2 MB drive can be accessed.

now if you go to alarm and select from file, it can actually play mp3 and mid files.

i do think this thing could have more potential but i think the software overall is a piece of junk, but i guess this is what you can expect from underpaid chinese software developers to do.

guys when you receive a call does the clock show you the contact name who calls you or it just shows the number?

also is the btnotifier an app that is supplied by the manufacturer of the clock or it is a service preinstalled and running on your phone so if you want to use the smartek media app you need to root the phone in order to uninstall btnotifier?
[Other SmartWatches] alakimaki:
it pulls contact names and all from your phone through bluetooth. also copies from sim card to internal memory if you have it in place. so yes it will show contact name on calls and sms. also you get messages from messengers(whatapp, wechat) but you cannot reply to them from watch. i do find the phonebook little hard to use since i have lots of contacts and it is a small screen. you can also search contacts but writing with t9 is no fun so it is not great. i find sound from the speaker is on the high side so you might have some trouble hearing from time to time. at the cost of other people hearing your calls it works as a phone quite fine actually.

i installed mediatek SmartDevice from app store, never used or had btnotifier on my phone.
[Other SmartWatches] jimacid:

[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
watch as a phone

I decided to do away with btnotify and install mediatek smard device from the google play store.

Firstly if the phone has a sim in it it works well as a phone.

It correctly displays the caller id rather than the number.

Something goes wrong when the incoming call is to my smart phone then only the number is displayed and somtimes also the wrong caller id.

Maybe this is the fault of my contacts list in some way.

Notifications from my gmail give both the sender and the subject of the email which is an improvement over btnotify which only gave the sender.

The camera capture performs slightly worse as now it shows a red x on the watch and if I press capture i see a frozen still of what the camera was pointing at but in any case the image is not saved to phone or watch making this function almost useless.

When the watch connects with the phone a notification saying "Allow pbab .....". You need to respond to this fairly quickly and pick "allow".

If you don't do this quickly enough things will not work and you will get up a screen on the watch at some point with a code of a location to load btnotify from.

Maybe some of these problems are related to my dual sim phablet but I hope this summary will help.

If it sounds as if I don't like the watch that isn't the case. For the price it does quite well for my needs.

As a phone you wont forget it is handy and works surprisingly well.

As an extension of the phablet to let you see notifications or sms text it also works well.

As a watch, pedometer and even a wrist camera it is at least OK.

The battery life is reasonable and at least a day if you don't have the pedometer on, because the pedometer also makes the display come on if you shake your wrist. Battery life is greatly effected by the number of times the screen is in use.
[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
Where the photos go

Just found out were the photos go when taken with remote capture using the mediatek smart device notifier.

They go into a directory the app creates called "photo".

I have no idea where the photos go if you use btnotify but suspect they dont get saved, at least with my setup.

You can still use the remote capture facility of mediatek smart device but you dont see the picture on your watch till after it is taken.

So really it just acts like a remote switch rather than a remote viewer.

If there was a better notifier application for the watch it would be really good.
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
Ok. Just got the u8 pro. This thing is humungous compared to the u8. But I still like it better. Has a camera, can use as stand alone phone. And many other features. Clock faces look better.
