Another rather thin smartwatch has popped up, here crops from Advertising renderings
Compared to the classic T8, it is a bit thicker, but with a 20% larger display in the (about?) same diameter body.
I ordered one, but here some initial info.
Key specs
- 1.43″ AMOLED display
- 43mm wide
- 50mm long
- Same crappy DaFit app as many other Chinese watches
- Rotary crown/button
- Looks much like a real watch
- Three case colours offered Steel/Gold/Black
- 200mAh battery
And they got this function list that I’m yet to see if is real
THERMOMETER, Alarm Clock, Remote Control, Countdown, Sleep Tracker, Speed Measurement, Fitness Tracker, Passometer, Call Reminder, Answer Call, Push Message, Message Reminder, Dial Call, Altitude Meter, Heart Rate Tracker, Gesture control, Activity Tracker, Calorie Tracker, Breath Monitor, Video Call, AI voice assistant, WORLD TIME
In many ways it seems to be like a fusion of a MT55, a DWo1 and a T8.
It got quite thin bezels of around 3mm, and that it s what we usually has under the glass, this is in total including the frame!
Like the MT55 ot got a large flat back, and not the conic back shape like the T8 and DWo1, so may look a bit thicker on the arm.
This far I’ve seen both V89 and DA09 as the name, but has not been able to find FCC info or similar. It seems to be released late August but not sure on that either.
I currently only got these links:
- https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/_1601236594303.html a bit heavy shipping for few though.
- https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/_1601244139209.html even heavier shipping
- https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005007687688684.html for over twice the price per unit (though shipping included)
One of these mentions “Sapphire Crystal” I doubt if that is real though, but would be awesome if it is correct.
In one of them we got a short (strange oriented) video
Here a few video-crops:
Where we among other things can spot a mic hole? on the opposite side to the crown, as well as one on the back. And the slightly protruding small plate I assume is a temperature sensor. It seems to have two openings for LEDs and one for the sensor. And a little calculus on the dimensions, confirm the 43mm as well as give us that it uses standard 20mm bands. And that the bezels are quite thin.
Also note the band attachments. Though in principle like for the T8 and DW01, they are designed more like a classic watch as an integrated part of the case, and not something ‘attached’ – obviously a purely aesthetic (for me pleasing) detail, though they in theory could be fractionally stronger.
Note the text “1A” on the back. I really doubt that could be correct! Otherwise 5W would mean super fast charge of an assumably ~0.7Wh battery. I think something like 0.1A is much more likely…
Preliminary conclusion.
Like a T8 Pro, 1mm thicker and with a 21% larger display squeezed in, and added functionality (rotary crown and skin temperature sensor). It also mentions Altitude Meter and Video Call but especially the last one seems unlikely, I REALLY doubt that they squeezed a camera in there too, but of course it might be able to display video from the other end.
