U8 UWatch Smartwatch Full Review + Video

It’s the u8 Watch. Smart watches have exploded in popularity over the last three months with big names such as Samsung, Motorola and LG taking top spots. These big name watches are however pretty pricey and therefore not affordable for everyone.

I was looking something that give me know if there are notification on my wrist. The only options I found within my price point was the Pebble Smart Watch. I continued searching the web and I found a cheap smartwatch. It is only cost 25 pounds. Turns out these things up all over the place to stay cheap Chinese-made watched on the notes different names generally including something U8 watch and they’re all around for about 25 pounds. So I bought it and a few weeks later a post from china is coming. It gave me good overall at first impressions.

Now, it is the review. Well up in line with what on a pretty much day-to-day basis for about three months until now.

So first things is booting up watch.You have to do is hold down the physical power button on the side and then you’re greeted with well across the screen and a very cheesy noise as overall picture is quite fast and take you straight into the clock face.

There are only four clock designs 2 analog and 2 digital. My personal favorite is analog 2.The screen is probably the worst part. The pixels are clearly visible on this watch. It has poor screen resolution but it has positive impact on battery life. Talk about battery life I was really impressed by the watch. With only 230 mAh battery capacity but that seems to like me nicely a match yet. At least 4 sometimes even 5 days. As long as I turned off at night. I also using power save mode enable. It also using the screens time out setting in 10 seconds.

The touch screen is surprisingly good. I found it has responsive an accurate so easy to select items from fairly small menu. Talking about small menus, setting the time is really easy to do using the watch is simple drop-down box style system.

U8 Watch has its own operating system with three different menu styles. One fairly basic is black and gold style, the iOs 6 style and iOs 7 style. The scrolling through the menu works nicely. The animations and physics optically convincing. Same goes for scrolling through menus in things like settings. It does not have the heart rate sensor. But it has a few things even big names don’t. Such as I mentioned out yet the pressure and temperature. It has a built-in speaker. It also has a speaker. You can also control music playback on the watch.

The U8 watch won’t work on any phone that doesn’t have Android. This is because at the apps that needed
to send notifications available on Play Store. All subjects notifications they work but that’s it. Any notification on your Android phone will make the U8 buzz or making noise and the notification tag are displayed on the watch. The only options are to delete notification. It can also be done from the watches companion app. Phone calls can be made accepted but success is limited. The audio quality from the watch is pretty awful so I’ve stayed away from this feature.

Overall the U8 watches will surprisingly well. It has some interesting features. The lower screen resolution and software are really annoying but when you realize that the watch is about 10 times cheaper then other smartwatch competitor you might well think again.
