GV68 Smart watch + Y2 smart fitness bracelet - Unboxing and review + GIVEAWAY | Aliholic

Last Friday I have received a smartwatch andsmart bracelet.

I am a little late to jump on the hype train,as these are my first “smart” products.

The most straightforward ones to get firstseemed the ones that you wear on your wrist, so I got these two.

If anyone is just as behind with the timeas me, the idea behind smart products is that you can connect them to your smartphone, usuallyvia Bluetooth or less commonly via wi-fi, and store and track your data by sharing itbetween the devices.

In this case, both devices have Bluetooth,which is used to connect to your smartphone.

Both smart watch and the smart bracelet havearrived in their own boxes and with English instructions.

Let’s start with the smart watch.

The model number is GV68.

The most common name that comes up is KingWearGV68, but there are also watches from Makibes and JSBP, which appear identical, so for thepurpose of consistency let’s just call them GV68.

This smart watch is sold for around $45 USD.

Let’s start with the battery time: withBluetooth on it works for about 2.

5 days with active use and Bluetooth pairing on, whichlets you accept and make calls via the watch, read text messages, view the call historyand track your physical activity.

I am not exactly sure how long the watch workswith Bluetooth off, but I estimate it at about a week of casual use.

The watch has a touchscreen display to switchbetween the functions, and one manual button on the side to turn the display on and off.

It will also power down the watch if you holdit for about 3 seconds.

The functions: here we have the standard stuff,like heart rate monitor, pedometer that counts your steps, as well as the distance walked,and calories burned.

There are 5 ways of the watch to display time:4 digital and 1 analogue.

The watch has more functions, like a calculator,calendar, which unfortunately does not show events - only the actual days and dates, andmy favourite function - the lost phone retrieval.

But in order for it to work the phone needsto be paired with the watch and be within the reach of Bluetooth, so even though I appreciatethe sentiment, it is not as useful as you would want it to be, but it can still comehelpful if your phone is somewhere in an unknown location in the same room, which still happensto me pretty often.

You can also take the pictures remotely onyour phone’s camera using the watch.

Now let’s look at the smart bracelet.

It highly resembles Xiaomi Band 2, exceptfor the button on the bottom.

The first thing that I noticed was the factthat the bracelet can turn on on its own when you put your hand up.

This can be turned off, if needed, but I can’tsee why you would because of how convenient that is.

It weighs 7 grams, which is a quarter of anounce.

It may seem a lot to some people, but in termsof a smart bracelet it really isn’t.

The bracelet shows time, can track the distancewalked, the length of your relocation, as well as your heartbeat and blood oxygen, andyour blood pressure.

All of that can be tracked via the app.

You can also set the goal for the steps taken,and the app will evaluate your performance at the end of the day with an encouragingmessage.

Both the smartwatch and the bracelet camefrom GearBest.
