Found yet another thin cheap Chinese watch, close to the DW01, But looks better….
Just got it in the mail, and it looks very promising, like an improved DW01.
It exists in both a 6.9 and 7.3mm version, with different top glass.
It is close to the DW01 in dimensions, with ever slightly lesser bezels, and what seems like better software
I found this video
It exists in two variants, a flat top version, and one with slightly curved top glass edge, that is 0.4mm thicker. I got the latter.
Here som quick facts
- It to 41.0mm wide, and 46.5mm long including arms. 🙂
- System Info: Name KM88 (see later) , Software version AT365SAV000098
- 7.3mm outside the protrusion 9.1mm thick at the cone protrusion. ø14mm at the skin end, ø21mm at to base. The flat part of the base is ø35mm slanted towards the ø41mm, being 5,0 mm thick at the edge. (well the top edge is also slanted roughly 1×1.5 mm, so strictly 3.5mm at the outer edge)
- The weight less band is about 17. Feels like aluminium.
- 1.32″ display, 3.7mm bezel-ring, så 67% screen coverage.
- Standard 20mm pin band
- At 0-60% charging with 0.2A
- Mic and speaker for calls via BT though phone.
Here a plot of profiles compared to some of the other thin ones. It is the green one (click to enlarge).

On this alibaba listing from “ShanZeng Vanssa” they call it “H06” it looks somewhat like a manufacturer, BUT could be a wholesaler, as they do wholesale also…
Though this from Global Sources could confirm it as manufacturer.
On this page (that takes loooong to load) it says “Release Date:2024-10-12“, so if it they are the manufacturer, it could be really fresh!!
Found it as H06 on AliExpress here.
But has not been able to find an fcc.report so that suggest that they are not the actual manufacturer… (And the real name is different)
Here copy of spec sheet from the global source link

(and here as a pdf, almost the same)
Note that it seem to exist in two variants, with a flat top, or slightly curved edges top, 0.4mm thicker. (As well as the two colour variants)
I’m far from sure I have found the manufacturer nor the real name,
The “KM88” found here is almost certainly from a wholesaler rebranding the devices and not the actual manufacturer. (that was the two first I bought)
They got other watches with similar naming. and Karen M matches “KM” in the names, the video about themselves, does not show any production, and they talk about rebranding to the customers wishes on their site…..
Another wholesaler (TKYuan) is calling it “TKY-X2” here. And here one selling it as “LP77″….
App and firmware
It feels like a substantially more polished firmware on the smart watch than the MOY one used by many of the other 2024 devices. (Da09, DW01, T8Mini, T8Pro…)
I have a feeling that the accuracy is less bad on the health stuff, but have not any solid data there.
The UI seems much more appealing. Starting by allowing the user to select among several different AOD watch-faces, and with a fairly large number of normal watch-faces, where you can have a four at the time on the watch. (I’m not sure if it is a fixed number or depends on the complexity of the selected faces).
Unfortunately none of the dials currently offered is right down my alley. I prefer a discrete face that at the least towards the bezels are completely black. And with hands not digits,
It got the nice feature that many others lacks, that it requires you to confirm on the watch, if a new phones tries to connect to the device.
And this is great. BUT they have taken the security a bit far here, as they require a factory reset even if you are connecting with a new phone, logged into the app with the same account. So on changing to a new phone, you should collect data on the old first.
Note that the GloriFit Pro app does not work on Android 9.0 (repeatedly crashes after binding), but do work on 11.0 though it claims to work from 5.0 and up, well it does not!. It do work on LineageOS 21.0 also. It is really hard not to read the name as a short form of GlorifiedShit, but apart from the compatibility issues is not that bad. I do not know who steals from whom here, but more or less the same as DaFit and others in many aspects, so at the least they have inspired each other….
(They just updated GloryFit to 1.42, with “stability improvements” – but it still crashes on Android 9.0)
In the app I can select e.g HR monitoring on/off, but on the watch I can both choose the base frequency of 5/10/30/60 min PLUS a nifty feature that can be turned on, where it increases this, if it detects that you’re active. These settings are totally inaccessible from the app (turning it on defaults to 10min). So there will be some trial-and-error to see what this watch actually offers.
(Similar for SpO2 where the frequency of 5/10/30/60 min is only available directly on the watch.
The sleep-monitoring works with a 1 min granularity. And seems to du a fair job compared to many of the other cheap ones.
Band and arms
They have squeezed the length to 46.5mm to make it more suitable for narrow arms. The flipside of that is that you need to tinker to do the trick I usually do with a Milanese loop band, skipping the adapter and wrapping directly. The gap between the pin and the case is (unmodified) 1.3mm, and needs to be 1.6mm, so easy to fix playing a bit with a file..
(You can see the edge closest is no longer sharp but blunt)
The purpose is to get the left rather than the right here:
(Yes the image could have been sharper, but I hope you can see the difference…)
You can in no way see the tinker with a band mounted, so i did it with the ‘gold’ also.
It reduced the weight of the case ever so slightly from 17.00 to 16.98g and more important I got rid of the 2.44g adapter. 😉
Battery and Stamina
I tested with all monitoring on, set at 5m where possible, and AOD turned ON, after 12h it had gone from 100% to 70%. It had a strange dive after one day but then flattened and reached almost two days (less an hour). Green curve here (click to enlarge)
It kept monitoring at the same 5min rate, and the AOD stayed on, so I’m not sure what happened at 20% It did give a warning at 20% and suggested to enter power-safe mode, but I rejected that. It might have reduced the brightness of the AOD, I’m not sure.
Recharging from 0% reached 50% after just half an hour at 0.2A, I forgot to keep an eye on it had reached 0A and 100% at some point less than 1h 45m after start.
Currently I test the stamina with AOD turned OFF, and all monitoring on max frequency, so will expect to know more in a week or so, will update with some indications before that. After 7 days it is down to 25%, neither impressive nor horrible considering the high frequency pulls. It drops really quickly in this end from 43% to 25% in 24hours, but the curve flattens slightly so 17% after eight days…. So a bit over one week at maximum frequency.
(I plan to test with less aggressive monitoring when the above is done)
Conclusion?
Well I do not have a conclusion yet, but I’m positive until now, though it is not the thinnest it seems to have other benefits. I believe it is less inaccurate for one thing.
