if you're into fitness and looking for the smart gadget, I found something interesting:
Blackview X1 - smartwatch and a fitness tracker.
stay with me to find out more. Adam - Family Pop TV
in 2020 Blackview has released a new smartwatch called X1,
a fashionable watch with fitness tracker features that include hard rate monitor,
9 sport modes, 5 atm waterproof certificate as well as long battery life.
let's jump to the full details:
when it comes to its appearance it has a 1.3 inch IPS touchscreen display,
you could tell it is very inspired by Huawei Watch GT Active, which in my opinion is a good thing,
personally, I absolutely love this design,
the screen is properly responsive and there are 4 watch faces to choose from,
unfortunately there's no option to create your own customizable watch face so the customization of the X1 is very limited.
the display has three steps of brightness i'm using the middle as it's bright and vivid enough and is easily visible in a bright sunlight,
besides, the light automatically turns on as you move your wrist up.
it comes with included two silicon straps: black and orange. i'll show you how to replace the straps later in this video (06:13)
it has a built-in PPG sensor and here the charging pins,
the X1 is available under a few different manufacturing names: Blackview, Gretel and Iowodo, but it's the same X1 device despite various pricing.
there are Amazon affiliate links in this video description, if you'd consider to get the X1 for a reasonable price,
between £28-£37 (GBP) - or $43-$49 (USD).
the X1 comes in two color options: black and silver.
the watch has got 5 ATM certification which means it's waterproof, so you do not have to worry if it gets wet while you're on your activity.
the X1 has got a dedicated companion app called H-band 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, notifications, etc.
it has an overall nice layout and items are arranged in a way that makes sense. you're not hunting around for mislabeled functions.
despite the inexpensive price the X1 is quite full featured.
it is pretty accurate in monitoring the heart rate,
we have compared it with a mid-range smartwatch with very high accuracy, which is Polar Vantage M2,
just see how the X1 performs against a more expensive device.
as you can see, the heart rate is pretty accurate,
however, I have discovered when doing any exercises the heart rate measurement starts to fluctuate a bit and it seems that the watch losing its accuracy.
despite the inexpensive price the X1 is quite full featured:
it has a step counter which is as accurate as any other smartwatches I have used,
as is the sleep tracker which can provide a comprehensive analysis of your sleep, whether you are in deep sleep, light sleep, or in wake up time.
the X1 has 9 sport modes to monitor your workouts and exercises accordingly:
the outdoor run, the outdoor walk,
the indoor run, indoor walk,
hiking, mountaineering (I like the sound of that),
stationary bike,
outdoor cycle and rowing machine.
you could easily keep track of this real time directly on the watch,
and it allows you to understand your physical condition.
it also use the smartphone's GPS, as it hasn't got its own GPS on board,
it's got an automatic bracelet movement detection - this is configurable within the app.
message notifications:
it pushes the notification about incoming text messages and social apps messages as well as notification about an incoming calls.
you can't pick up the incoming call, you could only drop it.
it will work only when your X1 is connected with your smartphone.
the good thing is the smartwatch can vibrate to notify you of incoming calls and messages which can help you stay in touch so you never miss an important messages.
another handy feature is "find phone".
please note, that this feature will only work while the H-band app is running on the smartphone and the X1 is connected via bluetooth.
the next widget in the menu is the music app control.
you can control your music app in your smartphone once the devices are connected.
another two useful features are: stop watch and a countdown timer.
the battery:
it's got a high density lithium battery, which allows you to use the watch for 14 days between the charging,
if you would use the watch without constant connection with your smartphone via bluetooth the battery will last up to 45 days but this obviously depends on how much you use the screen.
full charge takes about one and a half hours. not bad!
and now i'll show you on how to replace the straps:
pull this little pin here - and then you pull the strap away from the watch,
and to put it back or replace it with a new strap you just have to reverse the steps.
the X1 has a standard 22 millimeter straps and hinges
pull the pin - it clicked - and you're good to go. Very simple and straightforward.
same with the other side: pull the little pin - pull the strap away,
get the replacement strap
pull the pin again
it clicks,
all done. simple.
so you could try on any straps of any colors as long as they are 22 millimeters.
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 its own connection to the internet, which i'm guessing is part of the reason for the fantastic battery life.
i'm personally blown away with this little watch!
