Thin round T8 Mini, T8, T8 Pro smart watch 2024 trio, review of early version.

The original T8 is being replaced by a new trio of a 7.5% narrower T8 Mini, a T8 and a T8 Pro with speaker and mics for BT-calls.

These are ad renderings images of the T8 Mini and Pro where I scaled the dial by 87% resp. 92% to get the actual display to case ratio(!!), and scaled them too correct relative case size

E600, E500, E400 Cheap ECG smartwatches w. breast strap

I bought this cheap E600 smart watch out of curiosity of what a breast strap mount can do.

And it is certainly better than I expected for the price, though not without its flaws!

UPDATE: The first unit is broken after just six weeks, refusing to charge!!
UPDATE II The E400 is broken with same failure, bought a E420, and adjusted a bit on that.

Many, but not all, I bought were crap, here a collage of the crappy ones:

Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro vs Huawei Band 7(/6)

Xiaomi Smart Band Pro 7 has a larger display in roughly same size case and is MUCH more expensive than Huawei Band 7. Adds a few extra features, and has bad band attachment.
