<\/p>\n

It is rare that I buy a watch, that is packed down again within an hour of purchase!!!<\/p>\n

The place I bought is is down, but here another AE seller link<\/a>. One of the names it is known by is “DT-G1”.<\/p>\n

The watch seems a fairly OK mediocre bulky watch, but the app makes it useless!<\/p>\n

Watch<\/h2>\n

The watch is a whooping 17.45mm<\/span><\/strong> thick (15.4mm outside \u00f822mm protrusion)
\nIt is a whooping 55.8mm<\/span><\/strong> long and 51.8mm wide, so you would think that made room for a large screen, but not so! The display is 1.39″ so only cover 47% – that is very very far from impressive. (they claim it 1.43″, and well it is not, though only 2% wrong )<\/p>\n

The watch comes with a connecting pod, not only for charging, but you can connect it directly to a pc (if you dare….) and transfer data.<\/p>\n

The connection-points of the watch are not recessed but actually sticks out, not gold-plated and must be with a really<\/strong> high Nickel content, or other nasty stuff. I’ve never had a skin reaction in less than half an hour before!! I did not try to wash it though, so to give it the benefit of the doubt it might be some nasty chemical residue left over from the production.<\/p>\n

The features apart from the offline maps (see below) and the offline music, seems to be fairly much what the simplest watches offer, with an added image and video viewer (for the eagle eyed…). But though I prefer the round shape of a watch, it really isn’t good for image viewing on such a tiny screen. Oddly no pinch zoom is offered, but I guess the screen might not be multi-point, I found no ways to zoom or pan the image, but may have overlooked it.<\/p>\n

They say it got 4GB of storrage, I do not know the detail-level and size of the maps but 4GB should be fine I guess.<\/p>\n

The least coarse heart rate ‘monitoring’ offered is every five minutes. And that will for many cases suffice nicely, but hardly impressive for a watch with a lot of memory and a large battery.<\/p>\n

They should be praised for NOT claiming to offer BP readings though.<\/p>\n

The case got what looks like four screws on front and back. I do not know if it really is<\/em> serviceable, or its just ornamentation on the case – But I assume the latter.
\nHere a crop of another ad-rendering that (also) looks accurate – except the corner-contact-points not sticking out\u00a0 (click to enlarge).
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I forgot to take an image of the cable before I packed it for return, but here a sketch from the packing list<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It comes with two 24mm standard pin bands and though wide in general, does not seem wide on this monster.
\nThey know it is problematic, and thus claim it less huge in their listings (click to enlarge):
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A bid odd the band is said to be just 260mm long (forgot to verify), as it seems a watch most suited for people with wrist circumference above 250.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Application<\/h2>\n

The WearPro app keeps crashing and when it works it expects you to pay for all kind of stuff, $1 per watch face for a start… And is infested with ads, if you allow it net-access.<\/p>\n

I see in the Android market that some user warn on an activating triggering a \u00a340 buy of some game app after some days, so should you despite warnings buy this ,then be careful, and keep an eye on your account!!!!<\/p>\n

The watch offers offline maps, BUT you can not on the watch ask the app on the phone to download them. You can not even from within the app on the phone request them downloaded, they ask you to connect the watch directly to a pc, enter an url in the browser, download the file(s), unpack them on the pc, and upload the result to the watch – now THAT was not going to happen….<\/p>\n

The app got a surprisingly (or should a say suspiciously) high rating in the android market, so I strongly suspect some robots being at work voting.
\nWhen the most common rating is the maximum followed by the minimum, it seems a reasonable guess that the full star ratings are not real, but made to hide the poor ratings…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Do not buy<\/strong><\/span>!!<\/span> As simple as that!<\/p>\n

This is an example of a fairly cheap watch that (apart from the sticking out contact points) seems to be OK hardware, but with poor software – and “poor” is actually a kind<\/em> word for it, as it is very close to useless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
