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

 

Like the T8_original post, this is likely to be an ongoing project for a while.

Latest updates: Got the T8 Pro in my hands, updated the Pro1 part somewhat…

Merely 7.8mm thick (6.9 excluding small protrusion, and down to 4.0mm at the edge), AMOLED with AOD.

By far the most wearable smart watch I’d ever seen!!

ADD 20240405: I got an upcoming narrower T8 Mini. that is part of a trio replacing the original T8, see review here.

UPDATE: I have revised this thread to include the various updates from the over a year I have used it.

Currently at $25 including shipping…. Even better stamina than expected, six weeks! (less nine hours)
(This post is an ongoing project, the last change was 20240409 on 12% different weight between 1.00_24 and 1.00_23 )

In December 2023 (I think) a new thin watch was launched, 9% thicker, 8% wider and with 21% larger display than the T8.

I got it 2024-02-27. The verdict is: Disappointment!

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 broke after just six weeks, refusing to charge!!

Ordered some cheap (<£40) smart watches from AliExpress in the late fall of 2022. and 2023.

First I was surprised that it was even possible to get smart watches in decent sizes, though we do not see them ‘in the west’.

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

Huawei Watch Fit, is a name easily causing confusion as it is used for numerous different devices: The original (in two variants), and with postfixes “new”, “2” (in three variants) and “mini”. So they do not make it easy…

(updated on the inferior software and DST a week later – and again a week later after a factory reset…)
