today we're reviewing and unboxing the cubot w03
another budget smartwatch now i recently posted quite a positive review on the cubot c5
so let's see if this smartwatch the w03 is just as good stay tuned
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy so i'm feeling more and more confident about the
budget smartwatch world now especially after the last review i did and i have to say first
impressions of the cubot wov are pretty damn good so how much is this thing going for well
you can find it on various websites there will be links in the description but i have
seen it going for as little as 20 pounds and let's be honest the unboxing experience looks
pretty great for such a cheap device i really like the branding on this and the watch itself
whilst it doesn't particularly look or feel expensive i do think it looks the part and it's
refreshing to see a different color to black being used for once i do really appreciate the sporty
blue color here as you can see everything is kept pretty simple you've got the watch itself and the
pre-attached blue wrist strap to match the watch and then you have the charger which is thankfully
a magnetic one it is a shame we don't get some spare straps for this one like we did with the
cubot c5 but again not really something that i expect now much like the cubot c5 it does have
a crown but annoyingly again when you rotate it it doesn't actually do anything this is frustrating
as it does feel like it is actually meant to be twisted so i'll say it again hopefully in the
future cubot could maybe make this something that does work now i said it doesn't do anything that's
not strictly true it does double as a physical button you just can't twist it you can use this
physical button for turning it on and off and stepping back on the watch upon turning on we
have a very similar look and ui to the cubot c5 i'm loving the watch face that came pre-installed
on it and one thing i am noticing is the text size is nice and bold and very easy to read now
something i have picked up on here is the screen brightness for me personally it's not quite there
it could be a lot brighter and it's certainly not as bright as the cubot c5 so i really do think you
may struggle reading this watch outside especially on a sunny day that being said though the display
is a really nice size it rivals that off say the galaxy watch 3. so i am really still in awe with
what you get for your money here so let's quickly take a look at the specs and features of the cubot
w03 so the body is actually made from aerospace aluminium making it extremely light but durable
and resistant at extreme temperatures a very nice touch if i do say so myself battery life wise we
have a 210 milliamp hour battery which will give you seven days battery life with normal usage
and up to a maximum of 20 days using the basic watch mode now we have of course seen much better
battery life from different smart watches and fitness trackers but we've also seen much worse
so this sort of sits somewhere between the middle the main thing to take away from this though is
that it is going to get you through the week so personally i'm pretty happy with the w03's
battery life and how it performs in that sector now we also have 24-hour continuous heart rate
monitoring another great feature to have and then we have nine different sports modes which
is a little bit disappointing but i feel that they're kind of easy to add into a smartwatch
but as i stress in almost all my fitness tracker and smartwatch videos workouts aren't really as
important as you might have been led to think all they really do is the same thing they track the
same data but possibly put a different name over something so really they're not all that important
moving on we also have the ability to get call and text notifications through the watch itself you
can even decline calls from the watch you can't answer them though because there is no built-in
microphone and i really wouldn't expect that to be at this price point then you also have the usual
expected features like find my phone remote music controller then basic features such as stopwatch
and alarm lastly we have ipx68 water resistance meaning you can take a swimming with you up to a
depth of 10 meters and if you're wondering yes you can track your steps and sleep with this watch and
you can actually measure your spo2 levels which is excellent now i also did notice you can even track
your blood pressure which actually makes this watch stand out among a lot of the other flagship
watches but unfortunately i don't have anything to test against so the feature is there but i really
don't know how good it is and i am skeptical at this price point considering the galaxy watch
3 has only just got the blood pressure feature and even then you need to calibrate that with an
actual blood pressure machine but hey maybe it's going to be ok for just some crude monitoring
now quickly switching back to the ui i actually found it a little bit smoother
than the cubot c5 we reviewed the other week and i don't know what's making me feel that way
and i have to say i really do enjoy the five watch faces that came pre-installed it is a huge shame
there wasn't a bigger selection there now the menu system also has a nice user-friendly layout
really easy to use and extremely smooth and not something i was really expecting from a watch at
this price point again so definitely a pleasant surprise there switching between different modes
also feels a little less like swiping through a powerpoint presentation the animations feel
a little smoother which makes the watch feel a little bit more expensive than it actually is
i don't know if that is actually the case or if i've just got used to it between using this
and the cubot c5 over the past few weeks but either way i'm impressed so all these features are
arguably pretty brilliant to have on a budget device but those features aren't going to
be any good if they don't actually work so we can't let the cubot w03 get away without doing
a accuracy test so like in my other videos we're going to test the blood oxygen and heart rate
accuracy against the o2 ring the guys are well you sent out to me for another video
if you don't know what that is it's a medical grade device coming in at around 150 pounds and
what it does give is live readings to my phone so we can easily compare between the o2 ring and the
cubot w03 let's see how it does so first of all i went ahead and tested the heart rate accuracy
so on the phone at the bottom is your heart rate and the top is your spo2 now what i found with
this was that most the time it was accurate it just took a while to sort of catch up but
sometimes it can be the readings from the o2 ring which are a little bit slow to get to the phone so
i gave it a couple of chances i readjusted the watch and yeah most the time it was relatively
accurate very rarely bang on but i think it's accurate enough for some general monitoring
i wouldn't bet your life on it by any means but i certainly wouldn't class the w03 as inaccurate
now we're gonna quickly move on to the spo two levels and it's pretty much the same story here
generally it is accurate but sometimes it takes a while to sort of catch up i must admit though
there was a lot of failed readings especially when i had my arm up in the air you are meant to put it
on a table but i found with most smart watches and fitness trackers that i've tried out you're
actually okay just doing it as if you were doing your heart rate but i followed the instructions i
put my arm on the table and nine times out of ten it was pretty much there it was one percent out
occasionally there was a really off reading like 78 which was completely out so again it's gonna be
absolutely fine for sort of general monitoring there's definitely more accurate smart watches
and fitness trackers out there but i think for this price point you're absolutely fine so really
we've touched on everything we really can do now i really didn't want to make this video too long but
what i will say is if you're looking for a device that just gets the job done to a decent standard
then i wouldn't hesitate in recommending the cubot w03 i've said it many times throughout the video
i think it's an absolutely brilliant device for the money and it's gonna be quite hard to beat
of course let me know in the comments section what you think of the cubot w03 is it the smart watch
for you or do you feel like going for something a little bit more at market also if you like a watch
that closer resembles an apple watch you can check out my review on the cubot c5 i did the other week
