Aplus GV18 is a peculiar by some features that integrates. The aesthetic is slightly influenced by Samsung but with own touches the product. If you’re looking to try one of these gadgets, probably Aplus GV18 may be one of the cheaper alternatives. In this article we will discuss briefly some of the characteristics, along with a coupon that allows us to buy at a slightly lower price.

If there is a segment in which we have a variety of products and in some ranges, some saturation is precisely that of smartphones. Leaving aside this field, probably the fastest growing is the smart watches, driven recognized brands such as Samsung, Motorola and Huawei.

In this case we have a completely unknown brand, with several specifications that are not normally seen in these products, which we will discuss below. Some of the peculiarities of which we discussed earlier, can be for example the addition of a camera, something very rarely seen in this kind of products. Besides this, it also integrates NFC connectivity, and the ability to make calls from the same clock.

Aplus GV18 specs:

• Possibility to expand the memory with a microSD
• Bluetooth
• 54 inch screen with resolution of 240 x 240 pixels
• Camera
• SIM card slot
• Dimensions 58.5 x 39.5 x 12.3 mm

Aplus GV18 has a 1.54 inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 240 pixels, and with several integrated functions, such as allowing us to make a picture from the smartphone we have connected this watch. The battery is 450 mAh, which should be sufficient to overcome the two days of autonomy.

The built in camera is only 0.3 megapixels and the resulting images aren’t brilliant quality with washed out colors and limited depth of field as you’ll see from the full-size example below. There’s also a long delay after taking a picture before the watch will let you do anything else. If you don’t want to use the built-in camera there’s also the option to control your phone’s camera remotely.

At just under $35 the GV18 is undoubtedly cheap, and with that plastic back, dodgy battery cover and low-res camera it feels it. On the other hand all of the day-to-day functions like reading messages or accepting calls from your phone work well enough. If you have an Android phone and want to try out a smartwatch without straining your budget it might be worth a look but don’t expect premium quality.
