DZ
SBA SW-001 CHINESE SMARTWATCH REVIEW
I bought this and it delivered well. But I thought this is same as DZ09 judging by looks.
Now I understand it is a clone of DZ09 which is also a clone of Samsung gear 2 albeit a much better product.
Friends, I did the mistake of buying this instead of original DZ09.
So how to check if it is fake.
I have mentioned below the differences I understood(The addtional features you get in the original)
1. The original have a video player
2. The original support mp4 and 3gp videos.
3. The original has a dropdown notification menu
4. The original have cool animations when you swipe through the menu.
5. The original does have a video recorder
6. The original have some internal ROM usable. The fake have no usable internal memory
7. The original does support installation of .vxp applications. You can install apps like pdf viewer, powerpoint viewer, document viewer and so on and that is cool really!!
8. The original have 128 mb ram which is enough for a smartwatch. This has just 32 mb ram like old nokia s30 basic feature phone.So this is more like an unsold feature phone reshaped and reprogrammed to a smart watch. I donot know if it is really smart.
9. The original has theme settings.
So please think before you buy. I gave 2 star because notifications and music player works well. But the camera is pathetic. I have seen the original DZ09 taking much clear images in youtube videos. There are many products selling in the name and looks of DZ09. PLEASE DON'T THINK THE ALL VERSIONS ARE OF SAME FEATURES IF IT HAVE NAME DZ-09. I have seen many saying things like this like this feature is missing, fake product etc. SO READ ALL COMMENTS BEFORE YOU BUY.
You cannot complain much on this product since it is cheap. But many are selling this kind of products at higher prices and DZ09 name.
So I wish best of luck for all folks who are interested in original DZ09. Please mention in comments if you got the original DZ09(or mail me to harianilchandran@gmail.com with link so that I also can get original one)The original. Please upvote this so that everyone can understand the truth about the original and fake version. Thankyou.
Update after using it for two weeks:
The uses I found with the watch is as follows:
1. Can control music in your phone
2. Can play music through Bluetooth headset or by loudspeaker (with lower quality). The volume is enough considering it's size.
3. Can controll camera after installing notifier app on camera.Inbuilt camera is useless for any function. I mean it's functional with good number of functions but have low quality for practical use.
4. Usable as a pedometer, but so many problems will limit it. I will explain them below.
5. Getting notifications from watch works well, but it is not comparable to real smartwatch due to lack of applications for them. Common notifier cannot display all the notifications from WhatsApp and similar apps. Also a single line message is provided.
The short comings of the device are:
1. The inbuilt whatsapp, twitter and facebook never works. It is browser based system that struggles to load even small websites. And you know whatsapp is not supported on any feature phone browsers.
2. The pedometer starts counting only after some time. And it will stop counting after sometime. You will not know when.
3. The device lags a little on loading anything after two weeks of use which is quite embarrassing. This is shame because it is not a smart os like android wear. Nokia feature phones( I mean non symbian, you should know the difference between s60 smart phones and s40, s30 feature phones) never lags after years of use.
4. The fundo app is the best app for the device because it is the only app that provides syncing of pedometer app along with remote camera and BT notifier features provided by other apps. The watch auto connects to phone but not to app. You have to disconnect it first and then connect it by searching on watch, which is a tedisome process.
4. Low battery life if it is connected to phone more time. As a watch it can stay for 3 days, but as a smart watch for one day only.
5. The phone function have very low audio quality. And messaging will be pretty difficult in typing on such a small screen
6. Antilost function is mostly useless as it have to remain in very nearby position and should be connected to the app
7. No stop watch function. There is a sleep monitor that can function in similar way but without milli seconds. Also no timer is available. Sedentary reminder is just an alarm and not detect our motion.
8. Inbuilt memory only for saving 100 contacts which is lower than most feature phones.
9. Low quality sound recorder. And you have to stay in the app and cannot even check time while using this.
10. Easily scratchpicking plastic watch along with non replaceable . But it is still od nice quality because it survived a seven feet fall from the rack.
IF YOU HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS THS WATCH CAN BE WONDERFUL BUT FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS LIKE AS A FITNESS TRACKER, IT MAY NOT SERVE YOUR NEED. For that there are many other choices.
Still I would rate it two star for the functions it provide for the cost
