in this video we're gonna be focused on Nemheng N5, which is a basic entry-level ultra budget smartwatch,
and in this video we will check through its main features,
my wife will challenge its heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen and pedometer accuracy,
and i will check its ip67 waterproof capabilities and will show you everything you want to know about the N5.
welcome back, this is Adam - and you're watching #FamilyPopTV youtube channel.
inside the packaging we could find a manual leaflet, an usb magnetic charging cable and the watch itself.
the rectangle body of the n5 is very lightweight and simplistic.
at the reverse of the watch we could find a ppg heart rate sensors and infrared sp02 sensor,
here's the body temperature sensor and here are magnetic charging pins where you could plug in a charging cable.
there's one multi-function button, on the right side of the case.
the watch has a 20 millimeter wide soft silicon strap.
the n5 has a 1.69 inch color tft touchscreen with 240x280 pixels resolution,
with nice looking curved 2.5 d glass
the display has four steps of brightness and i've been using the maximum brightness, as it's easily visible in a sunlight.
besides, the display lits up automatically as you move your wrist up.
the n5 is available in three color options:
pink and white for women - and black obviously for men.
while talking about the design, the Nemheng claims their n5 has ip67 waterproof certificate,
so i'll drop the watch to the glass of water to see what will happen.
to recap: ip67 means the unit can be dropped into body of water up to a meter deep for half an hour,
the ip67 also means that our watch is resistant to dust.
i'll keep the N5 submerged for at least three hours, see what will happen.
right, after three hours the watch been submerged in water,
looks like it's still alive, which means it's fully waterproof, so no worries taking it to the swimming pool.
swimming is also one of the sports modes in the N5.
the watch measures swim strokes and approximate burned calories.
there's as many as 24 sports modes in the n5 to monitor your workout and exercise accordingly:
- outdoor running, - bicycle, - swim,
- rope skipping, - badminton, - table tennis,
- tennis, - mountaineering, - walking,
- basketball, - soccer, - baseball,
- cricket, - volleyball, - hockey,
- football, - dance, - yoga,
- spinning cycling, - sit ups, - treadmill,
- gymnastics, - boating, - and jumping.
for the clarification, the N5 hasn't got an automatic exercise detection,
so you have to turn the exercise manually before starting your workout.
the N5 hasn't got a gps built in.
but you can utilize your smartphone's gps via the companion app;
simply start your walking, running or biking exercise from the app,
and it will track and record your position throughout the activity, using your phone's gps.
i'll discuss the companion app and its functionality in a minute.
my wife has challenged the pedometer accuracy in her N5, using a manual tally counter to track exactly 1 000 steps
as you can see, for her 1000 steps - the n5 counted 1005 steps, which gave us 99.5 of steps accuracy
which is pretty good, considering this is the ultra budget smartwatch.
right, the next widget in the watch menu is a heart rate measurement.
let's see how accurate the n5 actually is against the nhs approved medical pulse oximeter
we got here 71... 70 bpm on N5 - and the pulse oximeter shows 70 bpm too.
that's pretty good.
right, the next widget is a blood pressure monitor;
my wife will compare the readings of the N5 against the Omron blood pressure monitor.
let's remember, the watch isn't a medical grade device so its readings are to be used only for the reference.
as you can see, the readings on both devices are close but not the same.
the N5 has measured 110 systolic and 72 diastolic blood pressure, slightly higher than the true readings shown by Omron.
the next widget blood oxygen saturation level known also as Spo2.
my wife checks the N5 against the pulse oximeter again.
right, we got here 98 percent on the N5 - and 99 of Sp02 on pulse oximeter. let's do it again.
ninety-seven percent on the watch - the pulse oximeter still shows 99 bpm.
let's repeat the test once more.
99 on both devices - not bad, but there was some fluctuation over the first two tests.
the next widget - the temperature measurements.
the watch measure is 35.7 degrees celsius,
comparing to an ear thermometer, which shows 36.5 degrees of celsius,
the temperature measured in ear is more reliable than the temperature measured on the wrist,
that's why we probably see 0.8 degree difference between the two readings.
N5 struggle with my mrs sleep tracking, quite often it was able to record the light sleep and the deep sleep periods,
but it failed to catch the actual time of fall asleep and the actual wake-up time,
this is something many smart which is struggling with.
the N5 uses the "Smart Wristband 3" companion app, that you install on your phone, which is where you set and control the functionality of the N5.
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 iOS and Android.
once the app is installed on your phone, make sure you got the bluetooth turned on in your phone.
open the companion app, tap on "add device", find smartwatch on the list,
tap it and then just confirm all the requests which will pop in on the phone screen,
for example "pairing request" and "allow the notifications".
in the app you will get the graphs or your activities, set your goals, set the alarms and the notifications.
the app has a simple layout and everything is arranged pretty neat.
here are the features of the N5, which require the constant bluetooth connection with your phone:
- the weather,
- the music app control - lets you select and play music on your phone remotely,
stopwatch, alarms, countdown timer and find phone feature.
if you swipe from the main screen of the watch, you will access the real-time message notifications from your phone
and the social apps, as well as notifications about incoming calls.
by the way, you can't reply to messages you could only view them.
you also cannot pick up the phone call - or make a call from the watch, you could only drop it.
in the app, you can pick and download a selection of available watch faces to your N5.
there's around 70 watch faces to choose from.
you can also create your own customized watch face, using any photo or image from a smartphone as a background.
just scale it, crop it, and sync it to the watch
to quickly change the watch face, just press and hold the main screen for about three seconds
and then swipe between the dials.
the N5 has a small 260 milliamp hours lithium polymer battery, which lasts around 10 to 15 days with the normal use.
if you would disconnect the watch from your phone and let the watch run in standalone mode,
the battery would last even up to three weeks.
the full battery charge takes around one and a half hours.
the Nemheng N5 is being sold on Amazon worldwide,
in a price range from £29 to £34 (GBP),
$39 to $42 (USD)
and from 29€ to 39€ (EUR) in Italy, France, Germany or other European countries.
as always, i've done my research and i've checked the customer reviews on Amazon,
just to find out what the existing owners of N5 having to say about the watch - and here we got:
- "perfect", "easy to set up"
- "super", "not bad, considering the price",
- "brilliant smartwatch", "excellent watch, very pleased",
here's one negative review:
- "does not work as expected, not very accurate" - i agree, the sleep and blood pressure tracking could be improved,
but the steps and the heart rate are well accurate.
there are many other reviews, majority of them are 5 stars - and that speaks for itself.
