a good smart watch supposed to be sturdy so it lasts years of use on your wrist and it also needs to look good
the Agptek LW31 is a really good smartwatch that won't break the bank
so stay with me and i will show you everything about it
welcome back - Adam from #FamilyPopTV
the LW31 smartwatch has a beautiful shiny finish giving the smartwatch an elegant look
the rectangle body of the watch is made out of zinc alloy
and it's got massive display with an anti-fingerprint coating with a beautiful curved 2.5D glass.
inside the packaging we can find the watch itself and USB magnetic charging cable, the silicon strap and a manual leaflet
the strap comes unattached and i will show you on how to attach it to the watch at the end of this video
the display screen is a color 1.69 inch TFT LCD touch screen display with 240 by 280 pixels resolution
the display provides a clear visual experience as it has vivid bright colors that make it easy to read
it has five steps of brightness and my wife during tests been using the fifth one as it's bright and vivid enough and is better visible in a bright sunlight
besides, the display lit up automatically as you move your wrist up
the bottom of the watch is made out of plastic material here we got a 3-axis G-sensor
here are the magnetic charging pins where you can plug the charging cable
there is one button on the right side of the case
overall the LW31 is a bit bulky, however looks very premium
the LW31 is available in two color options which are: rose gold and black
i have checked the customer's reviews on amazon just to find out what other users thinking about LW31
and here we got: "works perfect i love it"
or "well made"
or - "ich liebe das design" which is "i love the design"
or "the battery life is amazing"
there are many more feedbacks
in today's review we'll put the Agptek LW31 into several tests just to find out if it's really that good
the LW31 is having an ip68 waterproof rating so i guess i shouldn't be worried about getting it wet while washing hands or taking bath or even swim
we performed a simple waterproof test to verify the water resistant capability of our unit
yes, you want to be very very sure before you take in the watch to the pool
the IP68 enclosure of our tested unit should guarantee protection in water, up to 1.5 meter deep for at least 30 minutes
the manufacturer doesn't recommend operating the side button while the watch is being submerged and definitely not to use the watch in sauna
and this rule applies to all wearables regardless their brand or price range
as no watch can withstand the hot steam as the micro particles of steam can penetrate the seals of the watch
steam goes in but obviously can't get out.
the ip68 also means that our watch is resistant to dust.
the Agptek LW31 uses OnWear 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 on Google Play
the app is compatible with both iOS and Android
here in the app you will get some nice graphs of your activities, set the alarms, set your goals, notifications, etc etc,
and it gives you control on everything the LW has to offer
it has an overall nice layout and the items are arranged in a logical way you're not hunting around for a mislabeled feature
all the stats can be shared between other apps for example Apple Health in your iphone
ok, let's get to the watch menu - the first widget when you swipe the display to the left is a step counter or pedometer if you like
distance and calories burned organized on one screen
i like it as it gives a clear and visible readings without the necessity to go through the menu
my wife during the trials counted 1000 steps with a manual tally counter and the LW31 counted 996 steps
which gives us a pretty decent 99.6% accuracy. wow!
i would recommend to enter the personal data to the app profile like your height, weight and age as it improves the measurements and the stats accuracy
the next widget is a heart rate measurement. the LW31 is pretty accurate in monitoring the heart rate
we have compared the heart rate readings from our LW31 with a NHS approved medical pulse oximeter,
which has got a high accuracy of heart rate measurements as well as blood oxygen saturation levels
the LW31 performs pretty good, the heart rate is pretty accurate
when doing any exercises the heart rate measurements fluctuates a little and it seems that the watch losing its accuracy a bit
let's not forget this is not a medical device so the readings supposed to be used just for the reference
here's my graphic comparison - i'm using here my statistical tool, which is a minitab
the SpO2 tracking also known as an oxygen saturation
which is a measure of the amount of oxygen carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen
the body needs there to be a certain level of oxygen in the blood or it will not function efficiently
again, we have done some comparability tests with the pulse oximeter and also in this case the LW31 does a pretty good job
the next widget when you swipe further to the left is a sleep tracker
which can provide a comprehensive analysis of your sleep whether you are in deep sleep light sleep or wake up time
my wife has been wearing a watch for over a week to test this feature and the results are satisfactory
now, if we swipe down we get access to the shortcuts which are do not disturb mode called here DND
pressing it will mute all the incoming messages and notifications
now if we swipe to the right on the display we got here the access to all features the LW31 has to offer represented by nice looking icons
this is just another way to access all the features in the watch
sports tracking: LW31 has 11 sports modes to monitor your workouts and exercises accordingly, and we got here: -walking
-running -cycling
-climbing -basketball
-swimming -yoga
-elliptical -badminton
-cricket -and free training, which also may be used to track weight lifting exercises
it shows a heart rate, calories burned and counts the length of the workouts
you can easily keep track of these exercises in real time directly on the watch and it allows you to understand your physical condition
unfortunately, the LW31 hasn't got a GPS on board so you can't track your position during workouts
the watch settings - where you could find language selection and display options which are: a watch faces selection -
- you can pick and download a selection of available watch faces through the companion app
it's being sent to the watch almost instantly
you can also create your own customized watch face using any photo or image from your smartphone as a background:
scale it - and crop it - and here we go!
now, this is an example of a custom watch face
the screen uptime which sets up the amount of time the display lits up after you press the home button
it's a range from 5 to 25 seconds
raise to wake the screen can briefly lit up for 2 to 6 seconds and this can be adjusted right here
find phone feature - the watch has to be connected with your phone and the app has to run in the background to effectively use this feature
and the battery saving mode - the LW31 has a 260 mAh battery which lasts around 7 to 10 days of normal use
the battery saving mode turns off the bluetooth and dims the brightness of the screen to the very minimum to preserve the battery life
this way you could extend the battery life up to one month on a single charge
the battery charging time is around 2 hours
if you would indicate during the companion app onboarding process that you are female
you can use the menstrual cycle tracking feature to log details about your cycle
using information you've logged the cycle tracking can alert you when it predicts that your next ovulation period or fertile window is about to start
in the companion app you got a graphic representation of this feature and it also tracks a pregnancy time
obviously these features are turned off if you indicated that you are a man.
the music app control - you can control your music app in your smartphone once the devices are connected
skip the next song or a previous song
my missus don't use this feature but i'm sure some of you will find it useful.
the weather info - this pushes the weather info from your phone
to use this function the watch has to be connected with your phone
when we scroll down there are few more icons for another useful features: alarm clock, stopwatch and timer
real-time message notifications, which pushes the notifications about incoming text messages and social apps messages
as well as notifications about an incoming calls
you can easily receive sms as well as notifications in your facebook, instagram, whatsapp, linkedin, skype, twitter, etc, etc
there are two features which are very useful - the activity reminder - when you spend too much time sitting by the desk
and drink reminder - as often some people forget to hydrate themselves throughout the day
this has to be set up within the app
the strap is made out of silicon and has a stainless buckle
a strap could be replaced for any 20 millimeters wide strap of your choice
for example: silicone, leather or metal strap - as long as it's 20 millimeters wide, measured between the lugs
i'll show you how to replace the straps - pull this little pin here, it clicked
pull the pin it clicked and you're good to go
very simple and straightforward
as you can see this is a simple and definitely good looking device
it fills the build quite nicely and it's fashionable and has a stylish design you won't be disappointed with your purchase
