we've done quite a few of these types of smart watches now
some make it and some tend to be just more of the same so where does the cubot id 206
sit in comparison to other low budget smart watches whether it be feature set
design or value for money let's find out in this review unboxing and accuracy test stay tuned
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy another smartwatch info review today
this is the cubot id 206. so let's jump into an unboxing and see what we get with our smartwatch
do you remember if you find yourself enjoying the video please do leave a like and subscribe to the
channel so the cubot id 206 very similar to the sorts of things we've seen before
one feature that does instantly stand out though is the alexa support this isn't something we
tend to see on smartwatches at this price point so that could be the id 206's stand out feature and i
will chat more about that feature later on in the video inside the box though everything is as you'd
expect you have the watch itself some manuals and a charging perk and that's really all there is to
it design wise it obviously takes on a more apple watch approach here and it's very similar to the
real me watch 2 pro we reviewed a couple of weeks ago nice big screen measuring in at 1.7 inches
and it also comes with a physical crown button on the side for stepping back and powering on and off
though twisting the crown won't actually do anything like on the apple watch i do like that
it's not overly thick it feels comfortable on the wrist rubber straps are okay too wouldn't expect
anything else at this price point though of course and that price point is sitting around the 30
pound mark at the moment lastly the build quality feels pretty much as you'd expect not blowing my
mind but can appreciate that some thought has gone into the materials used here i think it
will survive a few knocks and bands with ease now we do have a heart rate accuracy test coming up
later on in the video so make sure you stay tuned for that but before that let's quickly go over the
features and specifications of the cubot id 206. so we have five atm waterproofing so you can take
the swimming with you which is pretty cool for a watch at this price point we also have alexa
voice assistant that i talked about at the start of the video that is probably the big feature of
this watch to be honest it will give you a more flagship like experience could be pretty handy for
some people especially if you have lots of smart devices around your home you can of course get
call email and text notifications although worth pointing out that you cannot take calls on the
watch like you would with say a galaxy watch other important bits we have 18 days worth of battery
life and up to 55 to 60 days of standby time which is pretty extreme big fan of that 14 different
sports modes in comparison to other watches in its price category it sort of sits in the low to mid
end if workout modes are important to you lastly we have all the tracking features you might
expect such as heart rate tracking blood oxygen and sleep tracking the heart rate tracking is
actually continuous too so that is a bonus there are other features of course that you can explore
on the watch too such as a media controller camera shutter stress management and a few other bits now
the id206 looks pretty good on paper but how does it do when it's put through a heart rate and spo2
accuracy test let's find out to do this i will be using my trusty o2 ring that the guys at well you
provided me for a previous video it's medical grade and gives live readings of heart rate and
spo2 straight to my phone okay so here it is the cubot id 206. so let's start off with the heart
rate accuracy as always i do do several off-camera tests too to make sure everything is fair but got
to say first impressions are really really good it's currently performing better than some more
expensive devices like the ticwatch e3 which is pretty phenomenal when you think about it
occasionally it does need to catch up with herself but very very few discrepancies here personally
really impressed with the heart rate accuracy now for the sp02 definitely not quite as impressive
as the heart rate sensor but it gets in the ballpark only thing that concerns me is that
it's consistently several percent out which from testing many other smart watches rarely happens
in an sp02 test so at least from this test it's one of the less accurate watches that i've tested
when it comes to sp02 that being said it is a 30 pound watch so it'll be absolutely fine for some
general health monitoring it is in the ballpark each time so i'm certainly not going to tell you
to not buy this watch because of the spo2 accuracy so that's the accuracy test out the way pretty
pleasantly surprised with the heart rate accuracy there bit of a shame about the spo2 accuracy but
i would argue that that feature isn't going to be as important to people but do let me know in the
comments section what you think of spo2 monitoring now the verdict should you buy a cubot id 206.
overall it has the green light from me it's a very affordable competitive smartwatch for its
price category i'm not a huge fan of the ui and os but at the same time as i keep saying you really
do have to take into account the price and value for money here and it really does get top marks
in that category so really if you're looking for a smart watch for just some general health
monitoring i think this will be more than adequate i think for the price you are getting a lot of
smartwatch and features but do let me know in the comment section what you think of the hubot id 206
would you buy a smartwatch at this price point or would you go for a more flagship experience
before we go if you could quickly leave a cheeky like and subscribe to the channel if you're new
around here that would really help me out for now though i've been alex and this has been
take it easy thank you so much for watching and hopefully i'll see you in the next one
you
