Found yet another thin cheap Chinese watch, close to the DW01, But looks better….
Looks very promising, could well become my new daily driver!
It exists in both a 6.9 and 7.3mm version, with different top glass.
Real life with a Titanium band added:
It is close to the DW01 in dimensions, with 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 H06 (see later on other names…) , Software version AT365SBV000099
- 7.3mm outside the protrusion 9.1mm thick at the cone protrusion (ø14mm at the skin end, ø21mm at the 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 17g. 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.
- Seems to do heart rate and sleep well.
Here a plot of profiles compared to some of the other thin ones. It is the green one (click to enlarge).
Here the bezels and coverage ratios compared to the other thin ones i tested.
| H06 | DA09 | T8classic | T82024/T8Pro | T8mini | DW01 | MT55/MT56 | TN88 | |
| Screen coverage | 67% | 71% | 59% | 61% | 57% | 65% | 62% | 61% |
| Bezels | 3.7mm | 3.4mm | 5.0mm | 4.7mm | 4.9mm | 4.0mm | 4.9mm | 5.1mm |
| Bezel under glass | 2.5mm | 2.8mm | 3.4mm | 3.3mm | 3.4mm | 2.9mm | 3.0mm | 3.0mm |
| Display diameter | 1.32″ | 1.43″ | 1.3mm | 1.32″ | 1.19″ | 1.32″ | 1.43″ | 1.43″ |
| Case diameter | 41.0mm | 43.1mm | 43.0mm | 43.0mm | 40.0mm | 41.6mm | 46.2mm | 46.5mm |
| Case length | 46.5mm | 48.8mm | 48.2mm | 48.2mm | 46.0mm | 47.7mm | 52.2mm | 53.0mm |
The band arms look better than the renderings indicate. They are NOT just straight arms like e.g. the DW01 and T8s are using, but more integrated with the case closer to a real watch (Though not as integrated as e.g. the DA09, or the MT55 looking like a real watch). Note that they are also slanted at the ends.
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)

(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 first two I found and bought was named “KM88” from here is almost certainly from a wholesaler rebranding the devices and not the actual manufacturer. (that was the two first I bought) (Software version AT365SAV000098, it is not offering an upgrade, despite the version number for the H06 seems higher AT365SBV000099)
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…)
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).
Currently 130 normal watch-faces
Unfortunately none of the dials currently offered are right down my alley. I prefer a discrete face that at the least towards the bezels are completely black. And with hands not digits, and the nice discrete ones for AOD, oddly can not be selected as the main dial.
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 GloryFitPro 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 alarms set is always with sound and vibration (no option for vibration only). You can snooze an alarm for 10 minutes. If you ignores an alarm for one minute it automatically snooze it.
Count/down timers can be set anywhere between 1 sec and 23:59:59, it fires with vibration only. When it fires you can select to stop, or to restart the timer. The later is useful if you need a repeated timer, say every two hour.
They offer a six-digit pin protection, nice with an option, but would have made more sense with some pattern-unlock on a small screen, I mean for my fingers the whole watch is two fingers wide, so easy to mistype.
The sleep-monitoring works with a 1 min granularity. And seems to do a fair job compared to many of the other cheap ones.
Accuracy
At heart rate it seems to to a fine job, similar to the T8classic, and better than the T8pro, T8mini, DW01, DA09 and MT55 generally.
Here zoom in and scaled (with some interior cropped also) compares of two screendumps from Saturday.
Note that the details are not always the same, but though both measure each five minutes, these series are not simultaneous, so can be correct.
Also note that the GloriFitPro confusingly smooth over the graph, where the QwatchPro leaves a hole when the watches were taken off between 9:25 and 9:44.
On sleep it seems to do better than all the above! It is quite good to detect if I doze off in a chair in the evening on one hand, but NOT counting as asleep when I’m sitting quietly other nights. Many watches struggles with that, and it does a surprisingly good job at this, no matter if it is 23 or 03 when I go to bed. It even catches some short awakes. It is not perfect, but I have a feeling that it is the most accurate I’ve tested the last two years.
Here sleep from Saturday night, where the H06 gets it pretty spot on when I go to bed with “1:52”, but the T8classic got the going to sleep utterly wrong “18:05” with several awakes until the real bedtime…
The analyse in rem, light and deep seems likely too, but hard to tell for sure, so would not trust that too much.
And here an example where I dozed off for half an hour or so
It does not claim to do neither Blood Pressure nor Blood Glucose, and as so many of the others get something that is clearly wrong for those, I really want to praise them for not giving os fake data here as others do!!
It offers mood and stress also. I’m not a person plagued by stress, and it reflects that nicely. A single higher reading in both one day, is likely to reflect reality.
Neither the app nor the watch offers any setting to inform it on skin colour or tattoos. It do ask about gender, age, height and weight though. They MIGHT use that to estimate the amount of fat on the arm, but I doubt it.
Button
The push button is made almost flush with the case, and though discrete and garment friendly, I’m so conservative (Read: old), that I would have preferred a (fake) crown like the other thin one uses, making it look more like a traditional watch. But I do admit that that this one is more practical. The DA09, that made a proper rotating crown, aren’t really using it for anything sensible in their UI anyway…
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 a tiny bit 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 blunted)
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…)
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. 😉
You can in no way see the tinker with a band mounted, so I did it with the ‘gold’ also, though this exposes a few mm² of the aluminium.
The sharp eyed reader might have spotted that I took a bit of the sides of the arms too, as the band I used was 20.4 mm wide
Battery and Stamina
I tested with all monitoring on, set at 5min 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 60% after just 45min at 0.2A, After 50 minutes 70% is reached, and the current reduced to 0.15A. After an hour 85% at 0.07A. 99% after 75 minutes pulling 0.03A. And down below 0.01A and at 100% after 90 minutes.
I’m almost finished testing the stamina with AOD turned OFF, and all monitoring ON at max frequency. After 7 days it was down to 25%, neither impressive nor horrible considering the high frequency pulls. It dropped really quickly in this end from 43% to 25% in jus t24hours, but the curve then surprisingly flattened slightly so 6% after eleven days…. So 12 days, or 1.7 weeks with all at maximum frequency.
See the green curve below. Note the same strange flattening after 20% that I also found above with AOD on
I started stamina test with moderate probing: Heart rate every 5min, but with automatic finer detail during activity enabled. Also sleep tracking enabled and SpO2 enabled, but only hourly. Stress and mood monitoring disabled. This is more like what I had had on other watches, except the nifty automatic turned on. Will update below, and the maroon curve -as hoped- is substantially right of the green one… Currently pointing at something like 2.6 weeks, but time will show…
Workouts
It offers over 150 different workout modes, and you can put those you use in a list relevant for you. I have NO idea how good or bad these modes are at handling the actual activity.
Conclusion?
Well I do not have a full conclusion yet, but I’m really positive until now, though it is not the thinnest it seems to have other benefits. For one thing I believe it is less inaccurate than the MOY-firmware ones with JL7013-chips.
Currently I lean towards it could become my new daily driver replacing the faithful and beloved T8classic, that I have used since late 2022. (swapped the T8 unit a few times for scratches though)
