[Other SmartWatches] fernandogdl:
hahahah good review, but to be fair you can't expect too much from a $40 usd smartwatch right? and to be fair it also has its very few pros, let me tell you about them and agree/disagree with your points to let the people know about the differences about the 2 versions.

1) the turn on screen actually works fine on mine, i have an older model it works just as my gear 2 neo

2) you are right on the music play control, but fortunately i have never used it, only for testing. about the tiny speaker on this smarwatch, let me tell you that this is the loudest speaker i have heard on any smartwatch, i have a gear 2 neo, and i have tested a pebble, an iwatch and a moto 360, and this **** crap is the best of them at handsfree callikng device, which is a huge plus when driving or having busy hands.

3) heart sensor, well according to your point, you just have to install another app from playstore, i had 2 apps the bt4.0 that the smartwatch suggest and the smartwatch app from playstore, and that app did recorded all the activity like hear rate and pedometer, even tried it on an iphone and the app in iphone is even more driven my physical activity than the android one.

But as i had the older version the hear rate sensor did not worked after 2 weeks and i had to open the device and disconnect the heart rate in order to have a working watch again, and i relly do not miss that feature, i never used it, even on my gear.

4) totally agree with you, interface is a big wtf? 50% of the "apps" here should be in a settings menu hahaha, but i guess they did it so the watch "appears" to have a lot of apps, as you can't add any new one. at least works fine and touch screen is recognized correctly.

5) agree with the watchfaces, i wish there is a way to install new ones.

Now my own pros.

The size and design:

like i mentioned, i have a gear 2 neo with android wear ported, i have tested a moto 360 and a iwatch, and this watch is the smallest of all, this watch actually makes people think that you are wearing a regular watch and not a weird piece of plastic that connects to the phone, also the design look really good and comes with a leather strap, nice addition, and with the analog actually looks fancy.

IR Blaster:

Not every watch has this blaster, and this was one of the main reasons i bought this, you can simply record any remote control, ANY in to this watch, you just point the remote to the watch, click the buttons you want to have, and VOILA!.

Notifications and hands free:

Another of the main reasons ANYBODY is buying this devices is the notifications or hands free, this means, the fact that you can watch in a smaller and always available screen in the wrist who called you or sent you a message/mail without taking out your phablet from your pocket, and it does what is advertised pretty well, and as i mention, the speaker is louder than most of the competition, so hands free is actually really easy and natural and you don't have to hold the watch to your ear like with other devices from samsung.

battery life:

Also way way way better than any android wear or apple watch.

Connectors:

the charging port is a regular micro usb, i have like 10 of those chargers around my house because of all the android devices i had, Samsung devices have a unique charger so you have to treasure them like gold, as they devices got discontinued after a year of launch and you can't get accessories anymore.

So my final thought:

Yes you can't add any more apps on the device like an apple, or samsung or android wear, but it comes bundled with the basic ones, and you already knew this either way you wouldn't be buying a china smartwatch which comes with their Chinese firmwares.

It has more features than most of the Chinese competence and looks good, it has a lot of flaws, but also my android wear has mayor flaws that i wish they fix and are included in chinese knock-offs.

Looks good on hand and feels natural to wear it, easy and accesible charging port and you can use several different apps and software in the phone to pair it, and choose the one you like most a fitness app or a single notification app or both.

So basically speaking: does it worth spending $40 usd in this? YES i have spent more money in more useless things or uglier and bigger regular watches. Does it do what is advertised to do?, YES, and for this price range it does other thing pretty damn fine, like universal remote or hands free for when i drive or go to the grocery store with my hands full. Am i satsified with this purchase? YES and i think that anybody that bought this will be acknowledging what to expect from a device from this price range.

At first i also thought what a piece of crap this was as it was useless due to the heart rate factory issue, but thanks to the good community of XDA the told me how to fix it, and i don't even need that feature, so now is back to use.
