SUNKTA Men Smart Watch, Bluetooth Voice Chat with Sleep Monitor, 24-Hour Heart Rate Recording, 1.32" HD Touch Screen, IP67 Waterproof Smartwatch for Android iOS, Black
Overall, I love this smartwatch but like many non-Android/Apple/Fitbit watches, these are really just Bluetooth devices for your smartphone with some typical fitness features. Heart rate, pedometer, ability to view messages and make calls are the main features of these devices. If they can power it up with good battery life and avoid the constant pairing hassles, then it's done its job.
I really like the sharp and bright screen. Display resolution is very good. However, there isn't (as far as I can tell) any light sensor, so brightness depends entirely on the setting. I tell you, if you go to the movies with that watch and check the time regularly, or hang your head up so your face turns, people will tell you to turn it off. It is bright and does not dim automatically.
The cover is nice, but I find the faux design messy. There is no compass, so the inclusion of NESW details around the face is ridiculous. It looks good in the pictures, but if you think about it, you'll realize that this is a fake marketing item.
Crowns and retractors are of limited use. Press any button to bring up an app, which you can use with the crown wheel or simply swipe the screen. However, in either case, you have to touch the app/menu item to select it. You can see which buttons are being used while the app is running. The workout timers work fine (they track your heart rate and steps), but you just tap what you want to pause, cancel, or go back to the home screen. It's basic functionality, but it's more than enough for a sub-$100 Bluetooth watch.
SmartLife is easy and honestly I don't want to create another account with a password. I have to take care of the small chores to get the basic functions of the watch. There is a guest option while using the app. Play times are synced with the app. I wouldn't be surprised if the watch has a drift on the clock. If you're primarily using it as a BPM exercise/step tracker, you'll need to sync regularly to get the clock right.
Finally we come to the battery. I'm surprised none of the reviewers here have said a word about it or the charging type. The charging cable is proprietary, which is actually disappointing. If you can't charge wirelessly, USB-C will work, though that means you have to worry about the IP67 rating. The charging connector is not firmly attached to the back. It's magnetic, but hardly magnetic, and the hand strap pulls easily from the rear mounting area. Charging isn't that fast, and if you think the device has been charging overnight and the plug isn't tight, the battery will be dead in the morning. Other Bluetooth watches I've seen have some sort of plastic clip to hold the contacts. This may be the answer, because these magnets are not reliable, and if you lose the cable, that's it.
As for battery life, I haven't used the watch much in the past week. I fully charged it last Sunday and am writing this review 7 days later. Since I mainly work from home and work on my keyboard, I don't need or want to wear a watch on my wrist at work. I use it for 3 training sessions, a night ski course, and 2 snow removal lessons. Made a total of 4 calls and 1 answered. Received 3 messages while skiing (I usually work during the day so I only get notifications in the evening). I did not charge the watch during that time and keep it on my desk when not in use. It's really nice when you're sitting there, the battery's dead, the bluetooth is off and the screen is on. % Art hardly moves. When I sat down to write this review, the battery indicator showed 68%! I'm sure I accidentally uploaded it this week, but I don't think I did. Nice.
