I have received mine today and it's an amazing android watch, thank you bro' for your video with these tip and tricks that are very usefull!! regards from Italy!
Many thanks Mr Ticks!! That works great - I actually like that magnifying glass even better than changing display size or font size. Thanks for making the watch even more enjoyable 👍👍👍
Wow, you're going to have an insane fun time! Be sure to watch one of the Android smartwatch setup videos to 'season' yours properly from the very start so you can get the best out of it.
Your videos have saved me countless hours of trial and error. I remember some time back you mentioned an app that would keep background apps from closing on Android smartwatches. Wonder if you or your followers can point me in that direction?
Glad to help! Actually, it's in the Android 10 watches already. These watches, Optimus 2 included, are, by default, configured to shut off all background apps when the screen goes dark. You can individually turn off that feature for 3rd party apps you install by first switching to Android mode (not Sports/Lite mode), then navigating to "Optimization". It's not in Settings like where we usually deal with this issue, but in a separate app. Once in Optimization click on Clean Task. You can simply turn it off if you want to stop the app quit process for all apps, but it is recommended you leave it on and touch the screen anywhere. That brings up a list of your installed 3rd party apps, and you can selectively turn them off one by one. Now in addition to that, you may want to go back to your app drawer and open the Settings app. Navigate to the "Apps & notifications" setting and then hunt down the app you're trying to fix. Tap on Battery and then make sure Battery restriction is set for "App can use battery in background" and Battery optimization is set to "Not optimized" as opposed to Optimizing battery use. Changing it is a bit tricky as you are guided into a global settings area showing "not optimized' apps. Switch that to "All Apps" and find your app. That's where you can switch to "Don't optimize". These selections will adversely affect your overall battery life and it is a wise practice to implement these settings only for the apps you really need running in the background if battery life is of concern to you.
@@SWT Great advice. Thanks! I've been fiddling with settings, and realizing it's just an android phone really helped my mindset. Yes, it's a watch, but first off, it's Android, and I am pretty well versed in fiddling with those settings. So far, things are running like a champ and even notifications I never expected to pop up are working just fine. The GaoFit app, however.... Ugh.. I hope they're working on that. Thanks again for all the great information!
Damn 😂. Charging the Kospet Optimus 2 for the first time via (Ravpower 26800mah) power bank. The power bank is full, but now that the watch is attached after almost 2 hours, the power bank is still full and the watch was on 6% battery 2 hours ago 😍
Thank you Mr. Ticks. Does your watch reset the accessibility after screen turning off? I will have to turn it back on for button mapper every time to make it usable.
Just bought this watch to replace my phone. I need it to preform a few functions and being able to use spotify is one of them. I launch it after downloading it from the Google Play Store and it looks like it's about to start then just hangs up on the logo. While it's trying to start I see a flash of blue at the bottom of the screen that (with the right settings) I can see a little bit of my email address and something about "smart lock". I looked that up and it's a Google feature. I don't seem to even have it though. I'm lost and a little disappointed with the purchase. Any suggestions?
I don't know if you'll see this comment as I am new to your channel, but I just recently got this watch this past Christmas and am loving it so far. My question to you is this. Do you have an instructional video where you show how to put the FAW firmware on this particular watch? I want to download the custom watch faces that you show but I can't on the stock firmware. I'm not very computer savvy but if you have a video/link that can walk me through the process I'd appreciate it. Loving your content so far. New subscriber here!
I just ordered. Unfortunately, they didn't take your discount code. Just so you know, since they are sponsoring you and I literally bought it because of this review
Thanks for letting me know. For the Optimus 2, they haven't offered a discount code beyond their Spring promotional price, but if you used the link: bit.ly/KospetOptimus2 to buy, that should have triggered an accounting on their end that told them you came to them from the link in my video. I'll try and get an additional discount code on this watch like they provided on all the other ones. These codes kick in after the Spring sale is over in early April.
Awesome very detailed review! Wondering if this would fit a Ergo Band? And if it does what's the lug measurement? I really want this on a Ergo Band to replace my phone lol
Smart Watch Ticks how do I turn the light on I downloaded the green button mapper app and I'm not sure how to set it up so I can use the bottom button to turn the light on
if you buy it from official Kospet store and you use DHL shipping it will delivery in 7 days but there is a possibility that dhl will make you pay the customs fees , i'm from Europe (Italy) i've bought it from BANGGOOD using "BANGGOOD EXPRESS" shipping method and it arrived home in 10 days with no additional fees. with standard shipping methods such as AIR MAIL etc. it usually takes 20 to 30 days.

Hi mr Ticks! I just discovered your channel and your full reviews are so detailed and geeky. I am loving them. Do you have an idea of the battery life in this watch. I am talking about some real life battery life not the manufacturer’s estimates. Many thanks in advance
Hi Mr. Ticks. Is there an app to create a floating button to quickly change the volume on the watch, instead of having to go into settings? Thanks so much! Also, does this watch have multitouch?
I've talked often about Floating Toucher, and it can be configured to bring up a volume control over any screen, even the time display. Another option is to use a 3rd party volume app and map it to the back button as a long press or double tap. Something like this should work: Volume Widget-com.william.soundwidget-1-v1.0.apk
Mr Ticks - I have installed button mapper and organized drawer per the video and have made sure that I ensured that they were 'not optimised' in settings after which they work until there is a screen timeout or a reboot at which point they no longer work as shown, such as in 'lite mode'. Please advise on what is wrong.
Definitely check that in Optimization you touch Clean Task, then touch the screen and turn Button Mapper off there. Then make sure the three settings are correct in the button mapper setup when you try and run it again. It should work even after switching to sports mode.
@@SWT Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. I discovered yesterday where I was going wrong - I had gone in to settings/apps and notifications and from there into 'battery' to turn optimisation off. Yesterday I realised there is a dedicated green coloured menu item 'optimisation' and when I turned optimisation off in this for button mapper etc., everything worked fine as in your video. Seems obvious now but the main menu item is not labelled - just a green circular symbol with concentric circles and a 'tick' in the middle - you learn from your mistakes!
Thanks for the valuable inputs, tips n tricks. Those were really uncommon watch faces. Thanks Kospet for such a lovely SW. Waiting for mine, eagerly. I am sure there's lot more in store which Mr. Ticks will explore n share!.
@@rohitvaz985 yes m in India. Ordered it straight from Kospet.com. It takes around 15 days atleast to reach us. My SW is expected to reach today. Only standard airmail is an option.
Hi i have a doubt i want to know the size of film protector because i want to buy one film For the screen and i really don' y know the size. Please help
This review was well done! Congrats! Does your watch reset the accessibility after screen turning off? Like @S.J. I cannot use it and end up having to turn back on the button mapper every time to make it work. Is that an issue with everyone?
The technique is different for Android 10 than on earlier Android versions. Two things: 1. Open the Optimization app, then CleanTask. Make sure it is turned on. Tap on screen to load 3rd party apps. Turn off Button Mapper. Done. 2. Open Settings, then Apps & Notifications. Tap SEE ALL XX APPS. Find Button Mapper, then Battery. Open Battery optimization. Change from NOT OPTIMIZED to ALL APPS. Find Button Mapper and change to Don't optimize. Done. Do these two steps for ANY apps you don't want to be closed by the OS. Remember, intense apps, like the ones that rely on GPS that will keep your GPS turned on, will significantly drain your battery, do use this technique sparingly.
hi, how do you install the faces once downloaded from the link provided? I downloaded the faces from the link directly from the optimus and opens them with Google drive ... what should I do now? thank you
Hi mr ticks, I was wondering if you could comment on battery life, specifically screen on time. Do you think this watch will be an issue if you wear it in the rain?
Hey Mr. ticks hey the only thing that I have discovered with these smart watches is they get hot the battery and they go into a limp mode and you cannot use it so if you’re watching UA-cam videos or something that long that’s what I have discovered about them.
How to perform zoom in and zoom out of pictures as the watch performs only double tap zooming. Is there any other way? Because by double tapping it zoom way into the picture.
No other way I have found with the stock camera app, but you can install any 3rd part app and try it out. The watch itself doesn't appear to support multitouch so any zooming would need to be through tapping or on-screen + and - buttons, etc. Check out the app "Free Camera" as a potential replacement.
Hi Mr Ticks! My Optimus2 when it goes to standby, it's not keeping the Button Mapper active in the background, even setting as "not optimize" battery mode. This is happening to all apps that I try to set as "not optimize". I already updated once when I received it and applied factory reset for three times but the issue remains... help! Thanks! 15th Aug: I had just flash it but the behavior is the same. When the screen goes off, it's killing the app even applying setting with "not optimize". I made the test with Button Mapper, Back Button and Watch Droid as well. Trying to have Kospet support. 16th Aug: Kospet answered my support request. There is a detail that was not clear. I didn't see comments about in the videos. Posting here to help other users: Menu -> Optimizaton -> CleanTask --> disable Battery Saver. Not perfect because it will be applied to all applications in the background, maybe can be improved in the next version. Don't forget to set the app as "not optimize" battery mode as well.
Wow, sorry but I don't get to dive into comments as frequently anymore. Thanks for your research and information. I've copy-pasted this in a bunch of places, but I guess you didn't hit on one of them. There's still more you can do. Here's my take on it in reply to someone else asking about this awhile back: OK guys, this is the typical fix for this problem. These watches, Optimus 2 included, are, by default, configured to shut off all background apps when the screen goes dark. You can individually turn off that feature for 3rd party apps you install by first switching to Android mode (not Sports/Lite mode), then navigating to "Optimization".

Hello Sir I have Kospet Prime S and trying to install Button mapper. I tried version showed in video but doesn't work for me. Any other button mapping app you can please suggest
Because of that big rotating camera head needing to move the attaching cable in and out of the watch body, I would say this is only splash proof and shouldn't be put in water. I wouldn't risk it myself unless proven otherwise at this point.
Would this watch be able to listen to Amazon Music via Echo Buds using the built in sim, and could it take calls via the echo buds too and what is the battery life like if i used the sim a lot. Thanks.
If you can do that with an Android phone, you should be able to do it with this watch. It's really a small Android 10 based phone with added capabilities of a home screen that shows a watch face. When you think of it that way, it all makes more sense. Nobody's tested the battery life on extended SIM usage, so you may be the first to let us all know!
I get 30 hours usage from my kospet prime 2 with SIM card, approx 1 hour of calls, Bluetooth and WiFi on always 10-15 minutes video calling per day and also about 1 hour connected Bluetooth music to my Audio sunglasses My software version is FAW unofficial Android 10 upgrade. I guess the newer kospet model will be better. I hope this may be of interest
Great vid, thx. BUT how to use write button in WhatsApp? Can't see it on the watch. It's hidden behind the boarder of the display. Can't write or call anybody.
Press and hold power button, then change circle to square display. IF that doesn't fix it, then report it over here: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/optimus-2-official-support-thread-updated-26-06-21/63107 or here discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/international-firmware-beta5-lem12pro-lem14-lem15-prime2/63226 They are working on new firmware for these watches.
Hi, excellent video! Helped a lot, thanks. Maybe you can help me with someting else: I am having trouble with whatsapp running on backgound. I got no notifications when I turn off the screen and only receive they when I reopen the app. Already disabled battery save feature. Do you have any tips on that? Thanks.
Excuse me smartwatch Ticks can you please tell me how to find this face on the full android watches site is there any thing I can type in the search bar so I can install this face in this video any help I would really appreciate thank you
Did you check the links in the show notes under the video? There are lots of faces in the video. What's the exact time of the video for the one you are wanting?

how can i get the google keyboard to stay everytime the watch goes into standby it defaults to the other keyboard and that mic does not work to talk to text. please can anyone help with this
It's supposed to be ceramic so the antennas can receive signals and it isn't as brittle or flimsy as plastic. Ceramic is somewhat brittle as well so yes, it could break I guess. Definitely not metal.
You can install a 3rd party volume widget or configure the "floating toucher" app to launch a volume control. Another option is to use the VLC app for video playback, as you can swipe up and down on the right of the screen to change volume and the left of the screen to change brightness. Best video player ever made.
You must exclude button mapper from energy saving. As soon the display gets to sleep all apps that are not excluded stop function. If you want Outlook or Whatsapp to recognize messages in sleep mode, exclude it as well.
I love your videos. I wish Samsung would put a camera back on the phone. I also wish this watch was smaller or my wrist. I got the other Kospet but it was definitely huge. I looked like Flavor Flav but with less talent!
I installed Google Assistant on the watch and it sucked the batteries very very quickly. I immediately uninstalled once I realised what was happening. I think there may be a mode where you can run the app to use it when you need it.
I haven't heard of anyone moving the faces from one watch company to another. As for extending the battery life, check this out: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/international-firmware-beta5-lem12pro-lem14-lem15-prime2/63226
Great video! I have two questions 1.Could I be able to respond to notifications from Viber,whatsapp, sms,etc... using only the watch? 2.Could I start dictating a message from within the app(like whatsapp) using a mic icon on the keyboard?
Yes, Settings Search is a good one. Today I wanted to demo that voice commands through the Google Assistant can do all kinds of things with these watches. We've covered Settings Search many times before, and it can gain access to lots of systems stuff that's otherwise hidden. Great suggestion.
Sorry, I haven't tested. Anybody else tried FIT? Check over here as well: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/optimus-2-official-support-thread-updated-26-06-21/63107
Hiii you aresuper cool! Can you please please let me know if there is a good watch like this with a camera but a small watch? I'm a kid and this is something I really want, can you please tell me a good small watch with a camera and play store? -many thanks
Interesting. I don't see it yet with any of my partners, but if it really exists, they'll have it soon (perhaps by a different make and model though). I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the lead.
Man these full android smartwatch look interesting. I'm going to buy this watch....But I was wondering why these full android watches don't have nfc?😅🤔
My optimus 2 when charging it gets extremely hot comes on then goes back off don't know why it keeps doing that it's like I have a useless watch now...only have the watch for 2 months smh
Sure, just like an Android smartwatch. The screen may be tiny but you can toggle it from being round display to a square in the circle to reach the menu buttons in the corners, etc.
Pick it up over here and follow the standard procedures for installing custom faces to Android smartwatches (they explain it there as well): discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/c/round-custom-faces/8

Hi, How do I turn off the ignition sound? Another thing, how do I turn up the volume while I'm watching a video on UA-cam 😅
Hey man..can it operate the flash alone ? As in like a normal flashlight..?
Yes, see the other comment I left about the app Button Mapper for making a button push a flashlight toggle if you want.
Does this watch have hitspot connectivity , so i can share my watch internet data to mobile ??
Hey Mr. ticks hey the only thing that I have discovered with these smart watches is they get hot the battery and they go into a limp mode and you cannot use it so if you’re watching UA-cam videos or something that long that’s what I have discovered about them.
After downloading the radar watch face zip file and extracting.....how do we launch on the Optimus watch?
the coupon doesnt work..can you help so i can proceed payment?thanks
How to perform zoom in and zoom out of pictures as the watch performs only double tap zooming.
Is there any other way?
Because by double tapping it zoom way into the picture.
No other way I have found with the stock camera app, but you can install any 3rd part app and try it out. The watch itself doesn't appear to support multitouch so any zooming would need to be through tapping or on-screen + and - buttons, etc. Check out the app "Free Camera" as a potential replacement.
Ok I will try
Plz you also share if you found a y solution about this.
Thnks
does the watch work with watch face app ?
does it have a designated google play store app or does it just install apps from the Chinese app store ?
Google play store
I got my watch today, it looks amazing 😍😍😍 I love it so much, am watching your video to set it up.... 😇😇
Great to hear! I just put up another video that might help you as well.
@@SWT thank you so much 😇😇
@@SWT can you do a video of how do we download and apply these watch faces, please
Hi Mr Ticks! My Optimus2 when it goes to standby, it's not keeping the Button Mapper active in the background, even setting as "not optimize" battery mode. This is happening to all apps that I try to set as "not optimize". I already updated once when I received it and applied factory reset for three times but the issue remains... help! Thanks!
15th Aug: I had just flash it but the behavior is the same. When the screen goes off, it's killing the app even applying setting with "not optimize". I made the test with Button Mapper, Back Button and Watch Droid as well. Trying to have Kospet support.
16th Aug: Kospet answered my support request. There is a detail that was not clear. I didn't see comments about in the videos. Posting here to help other users: Menu -> Optimizaton -> CleanTask --> disable Battery Saver. Not perfect because it will be applied to all applications in the background, maybe can be improved in the next version. Don't forget to set the app as "not optimize" battery mode as well.
Wow, sorry but I don't get to dive into comments as frequently anymore. Thanks for your research and information. I've copy-pasted this in a bunch of places, but I guess you didn't hit on one of them. There's still more you can do. Here's my take on it in reply to someone else asking about this awhile back:
OK guys, this is the typical fix for this problem. These watches, Optimus 2 included, are, by default, configured to shut off all background apps when the screen goes dark. You can individually turn off that feature for 3rd party apps you install by first switching to Android mode (not Sports/Lite mode), then navigating to "Optimization". It's not in Settings like where we usually deal with this issue, but in a separate app. Once in Optimization click on Clean Task. You can simply turn it off if you want to stop the app quit process for all apps, but it is recommended you leave it on and touch the screen anywhere. That brings up a list of your installed 3rd party apps, and you can selectively turn them off one by one.
Now in addition to that, you may want to go back to your app drawer and open the Settings app. Navigate to the "Apps & notifications" setting and then hunt down the app you're trying to fix. Tap on Battery and then make sure Battery restriction is set for "App can use battery in background" and Battery optimization is set to "Not optimized" as opposed to Optimizing battery use. Changing it is a bit tricky as you are guided into a global settings area showing "not optimized' apps. Switch that to "All Apps" and find your app. That's where you can switch to "Don't optimize".
These selections will adversely affect your overall battery life and it is a wise practice to implement these settings only for the apps you really need running in the background if battery life is of concern to you.
@@SWT Thank you Master! 🙂
I wonder if this watch works with TMobile, cause I would love to buy it. You always do a great job covering everything, sir.
Hello, on Kospet's website it says it works on T-Mobile.
Hello Sir
I have Kospet Prime S and trying to install Button mapper. I tried version showed in video but doesn't work for me. Any other button mapping app you can please suggest
Does it have hotspot capabilities
I can' t touch to screen with my 2 fingers right? I mean is it only one touch screen?
Hello Mr.Ticks what about water proof at this smart watch? It is waterproof or not?
Because of that big rotating camera head needing to move the attaching cable in and out of the watch body, I would say this is only splash proof and shouldn't be put in water. I wouldn't risk it myself unless proven otherwise at this point.
Would this watch be able to listen to Amazon Music via Echo Buds using the built in sim, and could it take calls via the echo buds too and what is the battery life like if i used the sim a lot. Thanks.
If you can do that with an Android phone, you should be able to do it with this watch. It's really a small Android 10 based phone with added capabilities of a home screen that shows a watch face. When you think of it that way, it all makes more sense. Nobody's tested the battery life on extended SIM usage, so you may be the first to let us all know!
I get 30 hours usage from my kospet prime 2 with SIM card, approx 1 hour of calls, Bluetooth and WiFi on always 10-15 minutes video calling per day and also about 1 hour connected Bluetooth music to my Audio sunglasses
My software version is FAW unofficial Android 10 upgrade.
I guess the newer kospet model will be better.
I hope this may be of interest
@@SWT Thank you for your reply.
@@michaelroberts7679 Thank you Michael for taking the time to reply, thats sounds good.
How does it compare to watches on alliexpress that do the 5g sim cards and such?
Great vid, thx.
BUT how to use write button in WhatsApp? Can't see it on the watch. It's hidden behind the boarder of the display. Can't write or call anybody.
Press and hold power button, then change circle to square display. IF that doesn't fix it, then report it over here:
discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/optimus-2-official-support-thread-updated-26-06-21/63107
or here

They are working on new firmware for these watches.
Where can I download the watch faces for the optimus 2
Check the links in the show notes under the video. What's the time on the video of the face you want?
Is there anything like KOSPET OPTIMUS 2 with IP68 water resistance sir?
very nice video mr tiks
But heard in the comments that its camera gets typed heat quickly.
Can you silicone it to make it water proof.
Only if you want to freeze the camera in one position. Theater leak hole is where the wires got in and out when rotating the camera head.
Hi, excellent video! Helped a lot, thanks. Maybe you can help me with someting else: I am having trouble with whatsapp running on backgound. I got no notifications when I turn off the screen and only receive they when I reopen the app. Already disabled battery save feature. Do you have any tips on that? Thanks.
Does this watch camera support night vision?
Excuse me smartwatch Ticks can you please tell me how to find this face on the full android watches site is there any thing I can type in the search bar so I can install this face in this video any help I would really appreciate thank you
Did you check the links in the show notes under the video? There are lots of faces in the video. What's the exact time of the video for the one you are wanting?
Smartwatch Ticks 9:05 in the video is the Face I want
How do I stop Button Mapper keep reset Accesibility? Need to keep re-enable Accessibility..

Can you make phone calls without using a sims card
Which Is Best Optimus 2 Versus prime 2 which camera in particular is better
how can i get the google keyboard to stay everytime the watch goes into standby it defaults to the other keyboard and that mic does not work to talk to text. please can anyone help with this
It would be great if you can upload the pictures you took on that watch somewhere
Hmmm. Is the body plastic or metal? My Prime 2 broke near the lugs.
It's supposed to be ceramic so the antennas can receive signals and it isn't as brittle or flimsy as plastic. Ceramic is somewhat brittle as well so yes, it could break I guess. Definitely not metal.
@@SWT oh yeah, the bezel is made of ceramic for sure. I meant everything else, the case (bad wording on my part?). Thanks again!
Sounds like plastic when I tap on the back.
Mr.Ticks any useful tip/app for adjusting volume during watching a video?
You can install a 3rd party volume widget or configure the "floating toucher" app to launch a volume control. Another option is to use the VLC app for video playback, as you can swipe up and down on the right of the screen to change volume and the left of the screen to change brightness. Best video player ever made.
@@SWT thanks a ton!
man, price went back up to 200$. Do you have an idea when they may drop the price for this watch again, Mr. Ticks?
Only a few days left to the end of the month when this sale ends. Find current discount coupon here: bit.ly/SWTBanggood
Is NFC working with this watch?
The mapping option is disabled on mine though when the watch goes to sleep. Though initially it works fine
You must exclude button mapper from energy saving. As soon the display gets to sleep all apps that are not excluded stop function. If you want Outlook or Whatsapp to recognize messages in sleep mode, exclude it as well.
Is This A Good Watch ? Please Give Me Advice
I love your videos. I wish Samsung would put a camera back on the phone. I also wish this watch was smaller or my wrist. I got the other Kospet but it was definitely huge. I looked like Flavor Flav but with less talent!
Hello Mr. Ticks, could you please measure the width of the straps in this watch?, I've been confused by the websites I've looked on. Thank you. (:
24 mm o.k.
How do i install google assistant? I cant even install it in Play store
I installed Google Assistant on the watch and it sucked the batteries very very quickly. I immediately uninstalled once I realised what was happening. I think there may be a mode where you can run the app to use it when you need it.
@@AussieAmigan i sold the watch last year. Then the new owner complained that the watch in bootloop. Worst experience
Is the screen scratch proof?
First thx u for all of review's videos.
I have a question. Can i find wacht faces van lemfo15 to kospet optimus2? I Really like Moving faces van lemfo
The bad is the battery
I haven't heard of anyone moving the faces from one watch company to another. As for extending the battery life, check this out:
discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/international-firmware-beta5-lem12pro-lem14-lem15-prime2/63226
Great video! I have two questions
1.Could I be able to respond to notifications from Viber,whatsapp, sms,etc... using only the watch?
2.Could I start dictating a message from within the app(like whatsapp) using a mic icon on the keyboard?
If the notifications are from the watch, then yes you can. Also, Yes, if you have installed the Google Gboard, as that has a Mic button
i use settings search to get to the talkback page , would be nice if your shownotes had the names of the featured watchfaces
Yes, Settings Search is a good one. Today I wanted to demo that voice commands through the Google Assistant can do all kinds of things with these watches. We've covered Settings Search many times before, and it can gain access to lots of systems stuff that's otherwise hidden. Great suggestion.
great watch, really a game changer in battery life, it's also compatible with my favourite lem10 strap win/win
Great to hear! A lot of guys would love to hear your battery life results and how heavy your are using your watch.
I would like to make the screen square/smaller to view the prompts.
Why didn't you show step by step how to install the custom faces
Many thanks for the review... Does anyone know if Google Fit works properly on this watch?
Sorry, I haven't tested. Anybody else tried FIT? Check over here as well:

Hiii you aresuper cool! Can you please please let me know if there is a good watch like this with a camera but a small watch? I'm a kid and this is something I really want, can you please tell me a good small watch with a camera and play store? -many thanks
Great vid sir. Loved it. Please review the carkira np3 square AMOLED FULL ANDROID smart watch 🤩 it's an amazing form factor
Interesting. I don't see it yet with any of my partners, but if it really exists, they'll have it soon (perhaps by a different make and model though). I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the lead.
This app are very good!
Thanks!
Man these full android smartwatch look interesting. I'm going to buy this watch....But I was wondering why these full android watches don't have nfc?😅🤔
Is it waterproof???!
Please answer because i am going to buy this watch
No its not waterproof. Battery life is good. I am using without sim. Better to keep watch away from water when washing hands etc.
@@InfoValuetainment thank you very much for this information
God bless you
My optimus 2 when charging it gets extremely hot comes on then goes back off don't know why it keeps doing that it's like I have a useless watch now...only have the watch for 2 months smh
WHAT'S THE BATTERY LIFE ON A SINGLE CHARGE ?
Mr. Ticks can you please tell the exact standby time in lite mode when we only use fitness Features?
Nope. Sure can't. But if you get one and do that test for us, we'd all love to hear your results!
Does Mi Home (Xiaomi Home) app does work on it? Would be AWESOME!
That would be good to know. Anybody set up with Mi Home that can try it for us?
Can this open social media like insta and snap?
Sure, just like an Android smartwatch. The screen may be tiny but you can toggle it from being round display to a square in the circle to reach the menu buttons in the corners, etc.
Hi. I know this is 3yrs old. Does anyone know how I can pair this to my Galaxy S23Ultra.
The URLpic does not take me anywhere.
But How do I install that radar face to my Optimus 2?
Pick it up over here and follow the standard procedures for installing custom faces to Android smartwatches (they explain it there as well): discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/c/round-custom-faces/8
@@SWT thank you!
How to get free power bank???
The Labradory!
Alexa, you are fired.
Why are there no wireless charging smart watches, non Wear OS
Glad you asked. Listening China developers? We want Qi charging in the next generation!
hey, there is a film on the camera and in the flash too ;-)
Yikes! Good to know. I'll look for it. Thanks.
