Great Smartwatch! Looks like an actual watch!
I recently came across these cheap Smartwatches on Amazon, so I bought 3 cheap ones for gifts, I realized they're not a bad idea, so I got one for myself as well. But I wasn't too crazy with those cheaper ones, even though they surprisingly work well. But the look and feel of those (like the dz09) I didn't love. So I started looking at the more pricy options, but all the big brands like Samsung and Asus you can't answer calls and talk on the watch itself. Which is something I really wanted. So i found this one, but the description doesn't really say much. I took the chance figuring Amazon makes it real easy to return something you don't like. So I got it. And so far I LOVE IT! I can talk on the watch itself, I love the interface, the touch screen feels nice. I love the different watch faces it comes with (and you can install a few more faces from the app, FunDo SmartDevice) And the thing I like most, is that you can set it that the watch turns on when you raise you arm facing you, and turns off when you put down your arm,,I love this option (you have to turn it on from the motion settings)And most of all, I love that it looks like an actual watch, those big rectangular box Smartwatches look nothing like an actual watch.I figured I'd write a detailed review, cause I was really struggling to get any specifics about this watch before purchasing it (but I'm glad I bought it anyway)

Just not functional enough to trump some better options in the price range.
Bought it, tested it for a week, returned it. Bought based on positive reviews, and even though they were 'gifted reviews', they seemed to be in-depth and genuine. What the product description and reviews here neglect to mention are several flaws in the software of the watch which are a deal breaker, I will list the many I found just in a week or so of wearing this to work and testing it out:- It's not really a circular design at all. I was curious why such a cheap watch could actually cover the complete bottom of the circle design, and not have the annoying 'android wear' gap at the bottom, spoiler alert, it's because the screen actually extends beneath, which is why the outer design is square. This is a square screen, which because very obvious when using without a black background and light leaks through the corners and you get cut offs on the screen.- The default alerts are very cheesy sounding and annoying. There are however 5 or so options for each type of alert, and usually 1 or 2 are decent... good luck switching to them though. No amount of swiping, touching, styluses, or anything would let me change them. I'd get an alert, check the settings menus, and low and behold, it'd be back on good old annoying "ring 3".- Messages get cut off. Typical scenario: receive alert on phone, it shows on watch, click message, read one line, hit next or open, neither shows the rest of the message, dismiss the message, it's gone from the watch, but still shows on the phone. Pointless. Emails would just show the sender and possibly one line, hitting "open" opened it on my phone.. but would not let me see more lines of the email.- Cannot reply to messages with anything but a few text smilies and short messages, which aren't really common use messages, and you cannot edit them.- Cannot reply via voice to message, in fact, the voice function didn't work at all for android. Google now didn't work, hound, or any other mic/speech apps I tried. It would just open them on the phone without doing anything beyond that.- Terrible documentation and almost non-existent presence on the web. I managed to figure out how to add the additional 4 watch faces, which brings me to my next point...- The additional watch faces get stored in your phone camera gallery. What a joke. Now I have these sitting in my photos because a developer was too lazy to add a folder in the app and have it save it there.- The battery meter on the watch faces themselves are not accurate. It did charge very fast (probably a half hour I'd say) but I would only get a day's use, max, out of it before needing to charge. The watch would usually alert every 20% or so, and tell me what battery percentage it was at. I would dismiss the alert, go back to the watch face, and it would usually be 10-30% off of what was just reported.AND THE BIGGEST WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT OF ALL:- If you get a call, or want to make a call from your phone while it is connected to your watch, it will ONLY play sound and receive mic sound from your watch! There is no option on the watch to 'pass to phone' and it completely overrides your phones settings unless you unpair bluetooth or disable bluetooth. Imagine picking up your phone, dialing a number, placing the phone to your ear, but your watch starts playing the dial tone and when someone picks up, they cannot hear you, because only your watch mic will receive audio. Or, imagine your watch rings, you pull out your phone, answer, and start hearing voices coming out of your watch, but not the phone. Very frustrating. This was the final straw for me.The bottom line:Overall, it's just not functional enough to trump a used Motorola 360 1st gen, which you can find refurb for around $80. Deal with the annoying bottom gap missing in the circle and have an actual circle screen, smaller form factor, and functioning watch. The fact notifications don't get dismissed on the phone, texting/text to speech replies are almost non-existant, and that you cannot use your phone as a phone if this is connected make the watch completely useless. I wanted very very very badly for this to work out, I did. I wanted to say, "hey, I have a random $60 smart watch, and it does the basics (which is all you really need) and it looks fantastic! Have fun with that little gap on your screen and your waste of $300", but it just wasn't in the cards for this watch.

Scam
Amazon should be ashamed to offer this product. It is in Chinese.

A wonderful watch. I bought it a friend of mine ...
A wonderful watch. I bought it a friend of mine and he loves it.Classy and high quality for the price.it is easily Connect your iPhones and androids.Overall, it is seriously a pretty legit smart watch for much less price of an apple watch. It can't do as much as the apple watch but that should make sense. I received this product for my honest and unbiased review.
