What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech Reviews. Today I got my hands on the
latest Cronus blade Janus full Android SmartWatch now this is a SmartWatch with
a dual OS setup so you have your usual full android 7.1.1 with the option to
switch to an energy-efficient smart bracelet mode now the watch itself looks
very well designed it's made completely from a zinc alloy cased and finished
with a zinc alloy bezels on the front we have a rather large 1.6 inch AMOLED
display with a screen resolution of 400 by 400 furthermore you have the media
tech 6739 quad-core CPU with three gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of internal storage
there is also Bluetooth version 4 Wi-Fi GPS 4G LTE nano SIM slot at the back and
you don't need a screwdriver you can just open that up from the clip and this
SmartWatch effectively turns into a full-featured SmartWatch phone and
you'll be able to make and receive phone calls text messages and use your data on
the go now this is actually running full Android 7.1.1 and this watch also has
dual 5 megapixel cameras so one camera on the front and one 5 megapixel camera
on the side now we've got 800 milliamp hour battery which promises one day of
normal usage furthermore this watch also has an ip67 rating but there's no info
as to whether or not it's swim safe or not but you can definitely wash your
hands and use the watch in the rain now the watch dimensions 54 millimeters in
diameter and 17 millimeters in thickness and it weighs 83 grams now the straps
are 274 millimeters in length and 24 millimeters in width now you do have
hybrid straps so black TPU leather on the outside and soft silicon on the
inside so in case you're wondering this is how the watch looks on my wrist so a
larger screen and slightly heavier than what I'm used to and here is my galaxy
watch just to show you how they compare on the wrist so you've got a larger
screen 1.6 vs 1.39 now to give you a better idea of the
size I will bring in my Samsung Galaxy watch so this is how
they fare side-by-side now the Galaxy watch is 46 millimeters in diameter with
a 1.3 inch screen and it's 13 millimeters thick and the Cronus blade
Janus is 54 millimeters in diameter with a large 1.6 inch screen and it's sixteen
millimeters in thickness so as expected the Cronus blade Janus is slightly
bigger and heavier than the Galaxy watch now on the side we have a power button
five megapixel camera and a back button on the other side we have nothing and at
the bottom of the watch we have our sim card tray heart rate sensor and charger
pins and I will quickly show you the charger so this comes with a magnetic
USB charger which simply clips on and it's a it's a bit of a flimsy connection
the magnet is not as strong as I would have liked so it can tug off quite
easily and this will charge up with any five watt USB plug and it takes around 2
hours to fully charge up this SmartWatch so here is the default watch face and
you can change your watch face by keeping the center press for 2 seconds
and then you'll be presented with a rather large choice of different watch
faces that you can instantly change to and I'll give you a few examples of the
selection available on the screen now
you can also make your own custom watch face using the built-in cameras you can
use the front or the side camera and you can make your own watch face so that's a
quick selfie and we're gonna use that as our watch face and there you go
also when you get to the end of the list you'll see a plus sign which you can tap
and gain access to a whole library of free downloadable watch face and any of
these watch faces can be downloaded and installed in seconds so let's jump
straight to the apps and I'll go through them with you we have contacts phone
messaging settings web browser downloads calendar clock camera gallery music
sound recorder file manager heart rate sensor Fitness weather voice search play
store with that is the Google Play Store you've got Google Maps assistant and
another app store if we swipe again to the left you have a shortcut to your
health and fitness and you can start any of these fitness activities by simply
tapping on them so the first thing I like to confirm is you cannot make
Bluetooth phone calls with this watch if you want to make phone calls you need to
insert your SIM card and then you'll have yourself a fully featured
smartphone watch let's go ahead and test out the cameras now these are actually 2
megapixel cameras but they've been interpolated to 5 megapixel so I'm going
to take a few shots and share the samples on screen with you right now
this is a quick video with a side camera and I will let you know the resolution
on the screen I have no idea at the moment I'm guessing 720p but we will
find out shortly and when I switch over to the front camera so we are shooting
video from the front-facing camera of the Chronos blade SmartWatch it's a
front-facing camera no idea about the resolution I'm back in my old office
temporarily some of you guys may recognize it only for this video
I'm guessing it's 720p resolution but that remains to be seen but I will
confirm the details on the screen for you guys right now so the next thing I
like to test is the heart rate sensor so let's get it opened green light is on
I'm gonna put this on my wrist so I'm running a heart rate sensor on both
watches the galaxy watch and the Chronos just to see the accuracy so we've got 46
beats per minute already seems wrong jumping up just 67 71 let's see what the
galaxy gives us 97 beats per minute on the galaxy the galaxy watch is accurate
and the Chronos is when off so unfortunately we do not have an accurate
heart rate sensor on the Chronos blade now sometimes these full Android smart
watches require a good minute before he gives you an accurate reading and I have
been standing here for over two minutes now and unfortunately the coroners
blades heart rate sensor is not accurate and incorrect so whilst I do have both
watches on my wrist we're gonna do a quick screen on hand rays test so here
we go so the galaxy watch first of course like
always and the Chronos blade followed after three whole seconds let's try that
again shall we so it didn't work this time let's do it again oh that was a
delayed reaction that was like five seconds late let's try again the screen
on hand raised on the Chronos blade is very very slow we're talking between
three to five seconds for screen to turn on and that is way too
long so the next thing that needs to be test is the USB file transfer to make
sure it works so I plug the charger in directly to my computer and I'm going to
tap and choose transfer files so that's what we do now on the computer the file
structure will immediately appear and you can go ahead and copy over any
photos you may have taken or you can transfer your multimedia movies or music
directly to the watch so USB file transfer is working absolutely fine now
I just downloaded a few apps from the Play Store so we're going to test out
the performance of this watch beginning with YouTube let's go ahead and try a
game out this is beach buggy racing
so as you can see the game works fine and so does the gyroscope let's do a
quick Wi-Fi speed test so in the Wi-Fi speed test we've got download speeds of
38 and upload speeds of 19 megabits per second so I am in a different location
and the top speeds we get in this office is between 45 to 50 megabits per second
okay so now I am gonna run a quick GPS test and this test is being run indoors
and we found a fix so I can confirm that the GPS is working absolutely fine on
this SmartWatch and in the antutu benchmark test we achieved 20k so let's
see how that compares with the others now here is my top performing SmartWatch
chart for 2019 showing you the latest and greatest smartwatches and seeing how
they compare with each other and as you can see the new Chronos blade Janus has
taken position 28 on this chart with a rating of 3 out of 10 now you can view
the full versions of all my charts online at chick's tech comm and read
them at your leisure so there you have it guys that was the Chronos blade Janus
SmartWatch now I know what you're thinking how can this watch get a rating
of only 3 out of 10 when it has an AMOLED display 3 gigs of ram with 32
gigs of internal storage along with 4G SIM support well those were the only
good points the cons are actually quite significant now this watch is bulky and
heavy screen on hand-raise is the slowest I've ever experienced on a
SmartWatch heart rate sensor is not accurate the watch overheats when
watching videos or playing games battery drains very fast sometimes it gets quite
laggy the speaker distorts bluetooth calls are not supported their straps are
not removable both cameras are poor quality this SmartWatch is not
waterproof and they even failed to take advantage of the AMOLED display by
providing poor quality watch faces bottom line probably one of the worst
performing smartwatches seen on the channel and I don't think I need to say
anymore and with that being said please do leave a like if you appreciate my
honest reviews meanwhile thank you so much for watching and I hope you all
have a brilliant day see you in the next one guys
