[quote name="JarlSX" post=54140695]so what are the differences between U8 and U8 pro?<br />

<br />

hardware looks different, or are there real changes?<br />

<br />

software is newer but not that much different?<br />

<br />

same BTNotifier app?[/QUOTE]<br />

<br />

Well there is a micro sim card slot which allows it to be a stand alone phone if needed.<br />

<br />

This is all for an android phone ad that is what I am using with btnotify as downloaded from the details on the instruction sheet that came with the phone.<br />

The phone arrived set to Chinese so to set it to English find the settings icon (looks like a gear wheel)<br />

Tap the second option down.<br />

Tap the second option down again.<br />

Select the first option which is English.<br />

<br />

I have one of these and it works pretty well even just as a phone.<br />

Unfortunately the instruction sheet is a bit limited and you need to work a few things out.<br />

Using btnotification on an android phone it will push full notification with some of the contents not just the fact you have a message to the watch.<br />

You can start your smart phone camera and see the picture it is seeing then make it capture it on the smart phone using the smart watch as a remote control.<br />

You can use the music app on the smart watch to operate your music played app on the smart phone to play music held on your phone. On mine I can skip tracks but NOT alter the volume coming through the smart phone speakers or smart phone earphones.<br />

Of you allow the music to play through the smart watch speaker or earphone then the volume control on the smart watch works locally.<br />

This may depend on the app you have on the phone and what functionality the phone has.<br />

There are 4 clock faces and the digital one is very good.<br />

The screen is bright and has good viewing angles. It comes on with a button press and goes off on a second button press or after about 5 seconds of inactivity. This is good for the battery life and not as much as much of a pain as it might at first appear.. No more so than pressing a button for a back light at night. There is only one button so you can't get it wrong.<br />

Slightly annoyingly the standard micro USB plugs are longer at about 8mm because the USB slot is sunk to protect it from damage and water I suppose. The earphones are also micro USB in fact the same slot a there is only one. A 3.5 mm jack would have been better for me ad I don't like the earphones supplied very much. A bit of rooting around on the net can yield some 8mm cables but as yet I have not found a 8mm micro USB to 3.5 mm jack plug adaptor.<br />

If anyone can work out how the speed dial works I would love to know how.<br />

You can get the local sim to call numbers by entering their position on the sim followed by #. Not really the same thing but easier than scrolling through the local address book. Note their position on the sim is as they were added to the sim not alphabetical.<br />

I might add to this as I find out a bit more.<br />

I do have the observation that while names come up for incoming calls to the smart watch if they come from the smart phone it displays the phone number. Maybe this is just my fault.<br />

Both the lost phone and loss of blue tooth connection (phone out of range) work.<br />

I will be interested to see any other comments or instructions from anyone else.<br />

Well only one day in and I find an undocumented feature. If you move your arm forward like you want to know the time the screen comes on. So one handed operation is no problem. Obviously someone used an accelerometer feed to switch on the display or my watch has a loose connection but I think it is very clever, just wish I had a manual that documented all the features.<br />

Note you may have to try it a few times to get it to work but it will.<br/>
