I have just become aware of (and ordered) the G34 found here. In the image here I have de-faked the dial back with a 90% factor!
After a few edits after I got it, I think this review has reached it’s end. Not recommended!
I stumpled upon it while investigating on the NX31 and it has some interesting specs too
It is 7,1 7.7mm thin, ø41.4mm wide and about 45.9mm long. The display is ø1.32″ or ø33.5mm.
It got downwards pointing band-arms, so this should make it somewhat suitable for thin arms.
Here from the listing (click to enlarge)
If this rendering is to scale, the watch really is 8.5mm as the ø23mm ‘protrusion’ is so large that it is almost a flat back. And the band is 20mm. And I can confirm these numbers from actual measurement.
But from the rendering the devisc is shorter than it is in reality i calculated 44.7mm, but it is 45.9mm
Found this video on it (I recommend muting it…) here a frame-crop showing all three case colours:

I could not find it on Aliexpress by the G34 name, BUT by the use of image search with the image with the weird flashlight, I found it a couple of places with no name, including as two “Early bird” sales, that was really cheap compared to other listings, so bought it in two colours and hope it isn’t crap. The price went up seconds later,
I have no idea on the app for this one, and it use a different chipset (and newer BT), so most likely it is just a distributor I have found, that distributes both the G34 and the NX31 watches.
Add: This Alibaba listing mentions “H-band”, and this at the least is likely as H-band can handle HRV. It is used by the series of watches that could also be breast-mounted for better ECG, that I reviewed here. Let is hope this does not mean this watch is as bad.
An odd detail of the G34 is that it got an UV-flashlight at the side. Talk about a solution looking for a problem…
It also got a more normal flash led, where you can even adjust the strength in ten levels.
It also claims to do not only do HR but HRV. Interesting if it is correct and with some accuracy.
On the other hand they also claims to measure blood glucose and even blood pressure monitoring, And I’m 99.9% sure this is just AI-fantasy like all other smartwatches that claim to offer this…
I do not know neither the sellers, the wholesalers, nor the chipset (Chipset:AB5691F/G.), so there is a high risk this isn’t as good as it sounds. Will be back with info when i got it.
Found this link, that looks like a Japanese equivalent of FCC. By the use of the number “219-259159” from the back:
And from an PDF here we find “Shenzhen Sanchuang Zhilian Co., Ltd” listed as manufacturer
And “Zhilian ” with G34 lead us to this. and FCC-ID “2BDVU-G41”. where the last digits refer to a strongly related model. And it seems the g34 has been granted too, (though not yet loaded) here.
The image on the back with the five indentations might lead to the impression that the back is removable and the watch thus easy to service. That is NOT so, the case is a uniform piece of material, the back design is just for aesthetic reasons to make it look more like a proper watch.
Voice commands
I can get the AI Q&A to answer sensibly (English only), and reply typed. The Voice Assistant does not seem to work, Or maybe it is relying on the Google voice assistent on the phone I disabled. I can see that something sound related is happening on the phone…
Power
It charges with just 125mA when down to 19%, but is reduced to 100A at 44%, when it reaches 80% it charges with a mere 10mA so a full charge is going to take a while!!!
Health readings in reality.
As I just got it I have not got any sensible info from it yet.
I tried in real life, and well it can not read of my table or my trousers, BUT if I fold a piece of toilet paper and place on the table, it claims all kind of stuff…..
(And to funny readers: unused toilet paper…)
The screen-protector is still on tinting all blue, so do not blame the watch for the poor images. And the lacking focus is me being lazy….
So if anyone would consider to believe in its readings, here are good reasons to take all readings with a serious pinch of salt!!!
When mounted on the arm, ‘measuring’ SpO2, it walks in a triangular ‘curve’ from 96 to 99 back to 96 repeated, and then ends on one of the values….
That said I wore one when visitting a neighbour across the street, and the step count seems reasonable.
The frequencies it samples with seems to be very coarse, so all you can do is select on/off for then ‘monitoring’
Steps are accumulated per half an hour
HR, HRV, SpO2, BP, BG seems to be guessed, sorry ‘measured’ every half hour.
I can see already that the BG is pure nonsense – as expected! Assuming I had breakfast while I was a sleep (and the sleep-monitor registered me as still sleeping). It displays three peaks, totally unrelated to any intake of food or water.
The first day I ate or drank nothing, to test it, and still got three peaks. Well I did eat some chocolate and drank some milk at 22:05 but it did not get that….
I tried to trick the other specimen i boughtit into doing a full days monitoring of my table, BUT it has a nice feature that if it has been completely at rest for about 3h, it stops monitoring. So that test would have to be redone on say a book, and then moving the book something like every second hour while I’m awake… I do think the watch is interesting enough to bother with that.
Sleep
It got the overall going to bed and wake-up fairly right, but the ‘details’ seems like random. not even with more deep at the beginning…
Similar yesterday.
But this night it failed. Though it did get the hard part on when I fell to sleep pretty spot on, it did not detect correctly that I woke op around 7, and certainly was out of bed before 7:30…. My back is ‘killing me’ so have been at my chair until around 15 today working the computer
… but ‘detecting’ that as “light sleep” is far from impressive.
Watch faces
It got five fixed (one with butterfly animation), one somewhat customisable, and you can upload one from 150 to choose from (mainly digital ones).
It offers AOD with either a nice analogue one or a digital. But it drains in something like 2½ days with AOD, so not bad at all actually, compared to many others, but still so short that it would hold me from using it.
Early conclusion
Nice looking smartwatch, that is completely useless for the health stuff!!! And can to some degree get sleep.
I see no reason what so ever to choose this over e.g. the H06. Unless you find the flashlight interesting.
