stay with me if you want to find out more!
The Gokoo brand was founded in 1999 and has gained a good reputation amongst the budget smartwatch manufacturers over the last couple of years.
One of the Gokoo’s latest devices, a smartwatch called S11,
has a beautiful shiny finish, giving the smartwatch a modern look.
The S11 comes with a sporty design that is thin and lightweight,
the body is made out of zinc alloy.
It has a waterproof sporty TPU soft silicone strap with stainless steel buckle.
S11 has a standard 22mm straps and hinges,
so you could try on any straps of any colours, as long as they are 22mm wide.
S11 looks good and its having an IP67 waterproof rating,
so no worries about getting it wet while washing your hands or taking a bath or even swim.
We have done a simple waterproof test, just to find out, if the S11 is really waterproof.
To recap: IP67 means the unit can be dropped into a body of water up to a meter deep for half an hour, and its obviously resistant to dust.
The S11 is available worldwide on Amazon worldwide,
you can get it on amazon Italy and Spain for around 45€,
the Amazon France for around 49€,
Amazon Germany for 46€,
the Amazon US for around 45$,
and Amazon UK for around £43.
if you thinking about getting one, there’s an Amazon affiliate link in this video description,
where you can find one for a best possible prices.
lets get to more technical details:
We got here a PPG sensors at the plastic back panel of the watch,
there are a also magnetic charging pins,
there is one button on the right side of the case.
The Smartwatch is powered by a Realtek8762C ultra-low power system on-chip solution, which supports Bluetooth 5.0 core specification.
the display screen is a colour 1.28 inch IPS LCD touch screen display with 240 x 240-pixel resolution,
The display provides a clear visual experience as It has vivid, bright colours that make it easy to read the text and information.
the display has 4 steps of brigthness, I’m using the fourth one as its bright and vivid enough and is better visible in bright sunlight.
Besides, the light automatically turns on as you move your wrist up.
The S11 uses the GloryFit companion app that you install on your phone,
which is where you set and control most of the functionality.
You’ll have to scan a QR code with your smartphone to get to the Apple Store or Google Play, as the app is compatible with both, iOS and Android.
Here in the app you will get some nice graphs of your activities,
set alarms, set your goals, notifications, etc - and it gives you control on everything the S11 has to offer.
It has an overall nice layout and items are arranged in a logical way,
you're not hunting around for a mislabeled features.
Now, if we swipe to the right on the display, we got here the first widget with is a sports tracking.
that gives you access to the 24, yes - a 24, wow!
that’s a huge exercise selection comparing to the other budget smartwatches.
So it has: -running -cycling
-swimming -skipping
-badminton -table tennis
-tennis -alpinism
-walking -basketball
-footbal -baseball
-volleyball -cricket
-rugby -hockey
-dancing -spinning bike
-yoga -sit ups
-treadmill -gymnastics
-boating -and jumping jacks
You can easily keep track of these exercises in a real-time directly on the watch,
and it allows you to understand your physical condition.
The S11 hasn’t got a GPS onboard so you can’t track your position during workout directly with the watch,
but the companion app can use your phone’s GPS data, to record your location during your exercise.
The S11 has got an automatic wrist movement detection, this can be turn on within the companion app,
however it hasn’t got an automatic exercise detection, so you’ll have to turn the exercise manually before starting your workout.
The next widget is a heart rate measurement.
The S11 is pretty accurate in monitoring the heart rate.
We have compared the heart rate readings from our S11 with a medical pulse oximeter, which has got a high accuracy of heart rate measurements.
As you can see, the S11 performs just fine,
the heart rate is pretty accurate.
Obviously during any exercises, the heart rate measurements may fluctuate a bit,
however, this is still on the satisfactory level.
Don’t forget this isn’t a medical device, so the readings are basically for reference only.
And this is the blood pressure monitor.
The measurement takes several seconds, then the results being displayed on the screen.
the blood pressure readings contains of two readings,
The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
The next widget in the menu, when you swipe the display to the left is a step counter - or pedometer if you like.
the distance and calories organised in an aesthetic wheel, I like it, as it gives a clear and visible readings, without the necessity to go thru the menu.
The step counter is as accurate as most other basic smartwatches I've had a chance to review,
it gives you an estimation readings but its pretty accurate;
for every 100 steps I counted, the watch counted around 103 steps. I’m totally happy with that.
The next widget is a sleep tracker, which can provide a measurement of the length of your sleep, including fall asleep and wake-up time.
It struggled a bit to give me the accurate readings when I went to bed late, sometime it didn’t even triggered the tracking.
Another useful feature - a stopwatch, can be found here.
It pushes the weather info from your phone, to use this function the watch has to be connected with your phone.
it pushes the notification about incoming txt messages and social apps messages, as well as notificatiopns about an incoming calls.
You can’t pick up the incoming call, you could only drop it.
It will work only when your watch is connected with your smartphone.
The good thing is, the smartwatch can vibrate to notify you of incoming calls and messages,
the smartwatch has some degree of customisation; you can pick and download a selection of available watch faces through the companion app.
you can also create your own customised watch face using any photo or image from your smartphone as a background.
scale it and crop it, and here we go.
it's being sent to the watch almost instantly.
now, this is an example of a custom watch face.
if you created your own watch face - or downloaded the watch face from the app selection,
you could only store one watch face in the smartwatch at the time.
to quickly change the watch face, just press and hold it for about 3 seconds,
and then choose between 4 factory watch faces, and your customised one.
Its got a high-intensity 300mAh lithium polymer battery,
which as manufacturer states, allows you to use the watch for 5-7 days between the charging,
assuming you’ll use the watch heavily every day,
If you would use the watch without constant connection with your smartphone - and this is what I do,
the battery will last up to a month, but this obviously depends only on how much you use the screen.
Full charge takes up to 2 hours. That's not bad!
As you can see, this is a pretty simple and definitely good looking device,
it's got all the basics you’ll need to track your fitness goals.
It wasn't designed to do such as reply to messages, nor does it have it's own connection to the internet,
which, I'm guessing, is part of the reason for the fantastic battery life.
The efficient low-power consumption processor also contributes to the ultra long battery life.
To sum up, if you're looking for a an inexpensive smartwatch and activity tracker,
this fills the bill quite nicely and is fashionable and has a stylish design,
You won't be disappointed with your purchase.
I am personally impressed with this little watch.
If you think the S11 is the right one for you, don’t miss this out,
If you thinking about buying this one, there's the Amazon link in the video description, where you could find it for the fair price.
