Couple of different dials on my DT No1. Dt98 'smart' watch.
Not sure how smart is yet, but for £35 I thought I would dip my toe in and see if I would get the use of some of the features before spending a few hundred quid on a decent one.

So far so good... Connected easily with the fundo app on my phone and has a lot of features, such as heart rate, BP, sleep monitor, Bluetooth music control and calls and texts.

Probably should be classed as a bit of a toy, but will see how it goes.

I have a FitBit Charge 3, It is now a useless bit of junk .
When I first got it all seemed well , did what it said on the tin .
Then after a year or so , I think after an O/S update, it all went wrong .
It would only stay connected to my phone for 24/48 hrs , now it will not connect at all , the phone cannot even see it on Bluetooth . I understand this is a problem with all early FitBits . O/H has a charge 2 FitBit and hers has the same problem , my phone is Android , hers Iphone , so not the phones
So I am thinking of getting a new/different one , but without spending a fortune and not a FitBit .
I like the look of this ,but the only Amazon review is Amazon.com where it gets 1 star .There are other reviews which seem ok , and I have found it here for just under £32 with all positive reviews

I would be interested in a bit more of a review from you if you do not mind cheers .

One of my friends had this problem and they just gave him a newer model. Is it too late for this?

Yes a bit late , watches are over 3 yrs old , not worth the effort of consumer protection etc .

Snap; I’m really pleased with it and the phone app appears to work well.

Sorry for the late reply...i've been meaning to do proper review. I wouldnt waste your money on one of these (hope you havent already). The battery doesnt last the day, the stpe count is crazy innacurate and the heart rate and BP monitors almost always give the same results...even on differnet people! The sleep monitor doesnt work and the crown, when worn on your left arm like me, is very sensitive, so whenever i bend my wrist it holds it down and powers of my watch. I would suggest maybe going for a Huwaei GT or something a bit more upmarket. This is just a poor copy of it and only does what the £10 apple watch lookalikes do....i.e. nothing!

Huawei Watch GT 2, just arrived. Going to give it a go and see if I like it for now. I really like the style of it though.

[gtidriver]

Ive got the Huawei watch 2, its good but the battery life is shocking, ive just purchased the watch gt 2e, it doesnt have a lot of the functions that the 2 has, ability to answer calls, i never did or nfc,i always have my phone so not a problem, the battery life is amazing, i got it wednesday and im still on 67%charge,i paid £139 from Huawei with a free mini speaker.

Which watch is this?

It’s called ZeTime

You can buy them on Amazon, I was an original backer on Kickstarter.

It’s not perfect, fitness tracking is poor , heart rate inconsistent, but for me it works well with emails etc, hands are real and move so you can read emails. It’s the only watch with touch screen and real hands, they hold a patent for that tech.

The are literally thousands of faces available and you can design your own. I use a Panerai style face as it suits the watch well, I also have one that is based on a Lancaster bomber rev counter.

Reviews are mixed due to flakey fitness tracking and some people having Bluetooth issues. But mine has been fine, daily wear for over 2 years. Case quality is good and you don’t see many people with the same watch.

Garmin Fenix 6 Titanium Sapphire.
Lovely watch, really pleased with it even though perhaps a bit overpriced, expensive.
But what I wanted , so what the hell.

And another

I’ve been wanting to upgrade my 7 yr old running watch for a while now - and got this last week. The 6X.







Loving it even though it’s OTT for my level of running . Colour maps are available in real time (no need to pre download) and can zoom in / scroll etc as you want.

Another 6 here, to replace my 5, excuse the dust.

[SpydieNut]

Titanium with titanium bracelet - that’s lovely.

I have to say, I really like these watches, I never take it off except to charge which is every 20 days or so at the moment, about 10 days if I’m riding my mountain bike.

I wear it to work, the gym, shower, in bed, restaurants, weddings etc.

My ‘proper’ watches never get worn these days, the Fenix does it all.

[SpydieNut]

I agree - think they’re just stunning. And the tech is simply awesome

The X is a little too tall to go under my shirt cuffs at work, but I knew that before getting it - I have a work watch. The X is going to be a rest-of-the-time watch . I don’t like wearing any watch overnight, but tried it the first night to see my oxygen sats, resting pulse rate and my sleep quality.

To save the battery (which lasts about three days), it has a 'background' screen which shows the time etc without lighting up.

I bought one of these, but I think it's little more than a toy. Check out the BP of my desk!



I've replaced it with a Honor Band 5 which seems to be more reliable. Can't argue at £30! A warning to Android users, you need to manually load the Huawei services app since it's been banned from the google play store...

I really like that idea, but when I was looking at those ticwatches the reviews were very mixed. How are you finding it?
