$7 Smartwatch Actually Exists!
Hey, what's good, guys?
Keaton, here, so I've been feeling sort of eh with smartwatches recently.
I got this thing for seven bucks and it's pretty sweet, so let's check it out.
So if you guys haven't seen that $31 smartwatch that makes calls, check it out.
Link's below or right up here.
Now, this is the U80 smartwatch, it goes for $7, link's below, and when I first got this,
I had zero expectations.
If this thing could even tell the time, that's worth the seven bucks to me.
And if it can even make a call, even better.
But I was seriously blown away with what it could do.
So what you get inside the box is the smartwatch itself, and a micro USB cable to charge.
Dead simple stuff that cut right to the chase, and for $7, do you really think you're gonna
get some stickers, a nice charging cradle, and hey, maybe even a manual?
No, no, no, they are cutting costs.
This is what you get for seven bucks.
So the watch itself actually feels really good.
It has a nice weight to it, and when I put it on my wrist, it doesn't feel too bulky
or too heavy, and one thing I was a little skeptical on was this band right here.
Now, I have sensitive wrists.
Yes, that is a thing.
And some smartwatch bands, they cause my skin to just not be liking it and you just get
a rash going on, and for $7, I thought it was gonna be rash city.
Not rack city.
- [Voiceover] ♫ Rack rack city, chick ♫ Ten, ten, ten, twenties and them fifties, chick.
♫
- But rash city.
And after a week's worth of wearing this, I was not breaking out.
So we're gonna go ahead and turn the smartwatch on here.
There's a power button on the side.
And it makes a lot of fun noises.
How friendly.
Like, not everything makes noises anymore.
It's 2016, we need to bring that trend back.
So now that the watch is on, it has a few different apps.
It's connecting to my iPhone right here.
Quick connection.
And from there we get three apps and we get three buttons.
Sometimes it likes to tell you that it's extra connected.
So these three buttons are a apps button.
This is sort of a menu button, that just takes you right to the dial tone, and then this
one right here is the back button.
So simple stuff, I really wish there was a home button, but that's not offered.
Now, the touch screen itself is pretty good.
Sometimes it likes to get a little wonky on me.
That could just be my $7 unit, it might be yours.
If you own this, let me know in the comments below.
But you can see swiping, it reacts pretty well.
I mean, seriously, guys, for $7, we can't really even have standards, and I'm pretty
blown away that this thing will even let me go to the next app section.
Now this watch is packed full of features.
Like more features than my current $200 smartwatch which is a little upsetting.
So some of these include a sleep monitor, which is hilarious because you start it on
the screen here, and then there's a picture of something sleeping.
And then when you wake up in the morning, you hit end, and if you don't sleep enough,
it says, "Sleep too little," which I think is absolutely hilarious.
There's some other fun ones here, such as reminding you to drink a cup of water at a
certain time, so.
Oh, it's 8:30.
I gotta get to my daily watering, hang on.
We're all good to go, let me check it off the list here.
Phew, so just kind of crazy stuff like that is offered on here.
You got a pedometer, rest when you need to take a nap in the day, just weird stuff like
that.
So this smartwatch actually does have some useful features, such as when people call
you, you can talk to them from the smartwatch and actually hear them, which isn't a thing
on my $200 smartwatch.
So my buddy Matt is calling me right here.
Hey, what's good, bro?
- [Matt]
- So as you can see right there, I can hear him, I can talk to him and it sounds pretty
good.
Here's the one weird part.
After you hang up a call, if you have a song that you recently paused on your phone, it
automatically just goes ahead and plays it.
So the speaker on here, not horrible.
It's pretty loud.
You can actually listen to music from the watch which I think is pretty cool and all
my audio seems to be going through the watch, so that's not a bad thing.
Most smartwatches don't even have a speaker so you're definitely coming out on top.
Another feature on here is you can actually play music from the watch.
If we go into BT Music.
You hit play, got that Chainsmokers jam going on.
You can skip songs, play, and it's actually pretty loud.
Like a lot louder than I was even thinking, and the sad part is like this is $7 and my
other smartwatches that are like hundreds of dollars, they don't even have a speaker.
Now here comes the sad part.
If you're using this watch with an iPhone, you can't really get any notifications.
It only works with Android devices, so for once you Android guys get real lucky and I'm
really jealous of you.
But I mean for seven bucks, you're getting to play music, answering calls, and finding
out when you need to take that next sip of water.
And I almost forgot to talk about the time, the most important part in a smartwatch.
You're only gonna be able to see the time if the watch itself is on.
It's not like a Pebble, where you can just flick your wrist and quickly check the time.
So with that being said, I was able to get around two to three days worth of battery
life, just using it normally, having the display on.
And I mean for $7, guys, you can't really complain.
So in conclusion, I totally recommend the $7 smartwatch.
It's so awesome and even if you're using it with an iPhone, just to be able to get a speaker
and know when you need to take that next sip of water, totally worth it.
And if you have an Android device, you lucked out.
So that's pretty much it for this video.
If you guys enjoyed it and are gonna pick up the $7 smartwatch, drop a like on it and
go ahead and get subscribed so you don't miss anymore videos.
And yeah, I'll see you guys soon.
Peace.
