Newer reviews can be expected to be ongoing projects, with minor additions or corrections.
Note: When I rate stuff, a 10/10 does not indicate perfect in an absolute academic sense, but as in (at least) as good as could be expected at the time, minor flaws allowed. For portable devices typically limited by the size and weight. Value for money also counts. An electronic device that got a high score in 2005, most likely would seem like pure trash ten years later….
- A really THIN 6 weeks Smart watch, “T8”, (And “R18”)
Merely 7.8mm thick (6.9 excluding small protrusion, and down to 4.0mm at the edge), AMOLED with AOD.
By far the most wearable smart watch I’d ever seen!!
ADD 20240405: I got an upcoming narrower T8 Mini. that is part of a trio replacing the original T8, see review here.
UPDATE: I have revised this thread to include the various updates from the over a year I have used it.
Currently at $25 including shipping…. Even better stamina than expected, six weeks! (less nine hours)
(This post is an ongoing project, the last change was 20240409 on 12% different weight between 1.00_24 and 1.00_23 ) - Thin TN88 smartwatch, disappointed review
In December 2023 (I think) a new thin watch was launched, 9% thicker, 8% wider and with 21% larger display than the T8.
I got it 2024-02-27. The verdict is: Disappointment!
Lastest updates: 2024-03-09, back in box!, 2024-03-28 References to T8 Mini

I bought this cheap E600 smart watch out of curiosity of what a breast strap mount can do.
And it is certainly better than I expected for the price, though not without its flaws.
UPDATE: The first unit is broke after just six weeks, refusing to charge!!

As posted in a rather old post, many apps have problems with windows scaling.
See these screen-dumps from Windows lengthy guide that was found here
With previous versions of .Net Framework this have been somewhat cumbersome, see my post here.
But with .Net 8.0 WinForms (well also 7.0 and 6.0), and Windows 11 (or newer 10), it is now fairly simple, as long as you follow a few rules, that can be relatively easy applied copying existing Framework projects. I experimented with VS 17.8 on Win 11 23H2.

Blog in English (well sort of, bare with me, non-native…), a few earlier than 2010 are just blunt copies of the source texts in Danish – Google translate helps here….
Collecting of old stuff started May 2015. Entries are generally attempted dated with original stamps, even if they are somewhat updated since, several reviews have been ongoing ‘projects’.
