if you're looking for the smart watch that you could wear everywhere and anywhere,
Hamile GT01 it's a great entry-level smartwatch and the price won't break the bank.
in today's video we will put the GT01 into several tests,
we will challenge its heart rate tracking and blood saturation tracking,
and also its step count and sleep tracking just to find out if it's bad or good,
guys, i'm curious myself!
welcome back! this is Adam and you're watching #FamilyPopTV youtube channel.
inside the packaging we can find watch itself, a manual leaflet, thank you card,
and usb magnetic charging cable, the silicon strap with two different lengths,
so it will fit various sizes of wrist circumference, which is well thought.
the straps comes unattached,
i will show you on how to quickly replace the strap at the very end of this video (skip to 12:36)
GT01 has a nice, shiny finish, giving the smartwatch sporty and elegant look.
the rectangle body of the watch is kind of reminiscent of amazfit bip u, but it's not plastic.
the GT01 is made out of zinc alloy and it's got massive 1.55 inch, 330x360 hi-resolution, beautifully curved 2.5D glass.
this high resolution display is pretty unusual in budget watches, it's got almost the same resolution as apple watch series 3.
the display provides a clear visual experience, as it has vivid bright colors that make it easy to read the text on information.
it has three steps of brightness, and i've been using the middle step of brightness as it's bright and vivid enough and it's easily visible in bright sunlight.
besides, the display lit up automatically as you move your wrist up, this is not an always-on display.
the bottom is made out of plastic material,
and here we got: magnetic charging pins, where you can plug the charging cable,
this is the three axis G-sensor for the heart rate,
and the infrared LED for blood saturation tracking,
there's one home button on the right side of the case.
the GT01 i am testing today is being sold under brand Hamile and is available in six color options, which are:
black, blue, green, gray, lavender and pink.
the GT01 is also being sold under various brand names, which depends mostly on the country, so we got here:
Hamile, Dirrelo, Fitpolo and Letscom.
Noise - one of leading companies in wearable market in india,
sells the rebranded GT01 smartwatch called Noise ColorFit Pro 3, but this is exactly the same GT01.
as always, i've done my research and i've checked the customer's reviews on amazon, just to find out
what the existing users of GT01 having to say about the watch,
and here we got: - "amazing watch", or - "fantastic buy",
- "cute and functional",
we also got the bad reviews;
"excellent watch", there are many more feedbacks but in today's review i will put the GT01 into several tests,
just to find out if it's really that good as they say - and i will show you through its features.
the GT01 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've performed a simple waterproof test to verify the water resistance capability of our GT01.
yes, i want to be very, very sure before i take my watch to the swimming pool.
the ip68 of our tested unit should guarantee protection in water up to 1.5 meter deep for at least 30 minutes
i will try to keep it underwater for a bit longer, just to be absolutely sure it survives.
the ip68 also means that our watch is resistant to dust.
even if the watch is fully waterproof i wouldn't recommend to use the watching sauna,
and this applies to all wearables not just GT01,
because in sauna no watch withstands the hot steam as the micro particles of the steam can penetrate the seals of the watch,
steam goes in but can't get out.
as you can see, the GT01 is fine after being submerged for nearly 3 hours.
the GT01 uses the VeryFit 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 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 the alarm set your goals notifications etc,
and it gives you control on everything that GT01 has to offer.
it has an overall simple layout and items are arranged in the logical way you're not hunting around for a mislabeled feature.
the VeryFit app can be notoriously slow when it comes to receiving data from my GT01,
whether it is an update, loading the new watch face, or simply sync,
effectively, the simple syncing between the devices might take up to one minute,
that's a pretty long time.
it's not a massive issue here because the connection between the app and the watch is pretty steady.
right, let's get to the watch menu:
now, if you press the "home" button, we got here the access to all the features the GT01 has to offer,
all features are represented by nice looking icons,
first on the top left is an activity data: steps, distance and calories burned, which been mentioned earlier, organized on one screen.
by the way, the step counter is well accurate.
i have gone exactly one thousand steps wearing my GT01, holding a manual tally counter in my other hand, tapping the button each step.
the GT01 done a great job: for my 1000 steps of various length with the various walking speed,
the GT01 counted 999 steps, which gives us 99.9 percent of steps tracking accuracy.
such a good result is pretty unusual in a budget wearables. i'm impressed!
next one is a sports tracking and GT01 has 14 sports modes to monitor your workout and exercises accordingly.
- hiking, - workout (which is actually a weightlifting),
- yoga, - outdoor run,
- indoor run, - outdoor cycle,
- indoor cycle, - outdoor walk,
- indoor walk, - pool swim,
- open water swim, - elliptical,
- rower, - and cricket.
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 GT01 hasn't got a gps built in,
but instead it can utilize your phone's gps via the companion app.
simply start your walk-in or running exercise from the app and it will track and record your position throughout the activity.
it has the automatic exercise detection, but you can also turn the exercise manually before starting your workout.
i prefer to turn it on manually, but it's just my personal preference.
the next widget is a heart rate measurement.
the GT01 is pretty accurate in monitoring the heart rate.
i got my GT set to continuous tracking of my heart rate in the background,
but it can also be set up as "on demand", which means, you'll have to manually trigger the heart rate measurement.
i have compared the heart rate readings from our GT01 with a nhs approved medical pulse oximeter
here we got 57 bpm on both devices. as you can see the GT01 performs pretty good.
i have done a few press-ups to raise my heart rate - and let's see what GT01 will show us this time.
82 bpm - and the oximeter shows 84 bpm.
when performing exercises the heart rate measurements might fluctuate a little,
and the watch might lose its accuracy a bit, but let's repeat this test.
the heart rate is accurate this time.
here's my graphic comparison of all three tests.
well, remember the watch isn't a medical device so the readings are just for reference.
another useful feature is the SpO2 tracking, also known as oxygen saturation,
which is basically 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, i've done some comparability tests with the pulse oximeter and also in this case the GT01 does a pretty good job;
both devices displays exactly the same readings, which is 98 percent.
next useful tool is a stress detection.
this is another beneficial feature, which allows you to measure your stress level.
stress is something we all encounter, whether it's particular situation in our lives or just a hectic day at work,
but it can have impact on our health and lives,
so here we got the deep breathing exercises to reduce potential anxiety by exercising the deep diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing,
allowing your lungs to expand, relaxing breath exercise acts as a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system.
it's best to perform the exercise seated with your back straight,
however you can perform it while you're lying in bed or during yoga.
the next widget: sleep tracking.
the GT01 struggles with my sleep tracking, quite often it was able to accurately record my deep sleep periods,
but it failed completely to peg the actual time i fell asleep and the actual time i woke up.
in other words, the GT01 couldn't spot many of my light sleep periods, which should count as a part of the total time asleep.
if the accurate sleep tracking is vital to you, you'll be better served with a different wearable.
the GT01 has some degree of customization.
you can pick and download a selection of available watch faces through the companion app.
there are new watch faces being added weekly, so i guess everyone would find something interesting in there.
you can also create your own customized watch face using any photo or image from your smartphone and use it as a background:
scale it, crop it, and here we go - it's been sent to the watch.
if you create your own watch face or download the watch face from the available selection,
you could only store one customized watch face at the time.
to quickly change the watch face, just press the screen and hold it for about three seconds and then choose between the four factory watch faces and two customized ones.
if you would swipe down from the watch main screen you'll access the real-time message notifications
it pushes the notification about incoming text messages and social apps messages as well as notifications about an incoming calls.
you can't pick up the incoming call - you could only drop it.
you can easily receive sms, as well as notifications from your facebook, instagram, whatsapp, linkedin, skype or twitter.
the GT01 is being sold on Amazon in a price range from £35 to £42
or $27 to $49
49€ to 51€
from around $1200 to $1500 mexican pesos,
or nearly 4000₹ indian rupees for the GT01 and its rebranded version Noise ColorFit Pro 3.
the GT01 has a small 210 mAh lithium polymer battery, which lasts me around 7 to 10 days with the normal use.
if i would turn off the continuous heart rate tracking and use the watch in standalone mode,
i mean, if it isn't constantly connected with the phone by a bluetooth,
this will significantly preserve the battery life.
it can last up to 20 days on a single charge.
the full charge takes around 2 hours.
the straps comes unattached, so i'll quickly show you how to attach it to the watch,
it's very easy to do - you won't really need any tools for this one, just a well lit up space.
all you have to do, is pull that little pin here, place the strap within the lugs of the watch and release it.
it should click and it's all done. very simple.
same with the other piece: pull the little pin,
release and check if it's holding well, all done.
the strap could be replaced for any 22 millimeters wide strap of your choice, for example silicone, leather or metal strap,
as long as it's 22 millimeters wide.
as you can see, this is a simple, accurate and definitely good looking smart device, it fills the build quite nicely and is fashionable and has a stylish design.
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.
