Another excellent Chinese smartwatch review. After sadly having to return my DOA IQI I2 watch (and learning what a pain it is to deal Chinese vendors with returns), I have gone with the No. 1 D6 to compliment my original No. 1 D5. I must say that I am concerned about the crappy charger of the D6 (I had the same issue with the IQI I2), but for half the price of the D5, I feel I can't go wrong, and your detailed review reassures me!
Thanks for your many videos, you make watch selection much easier, I think for a purchaser the NO. 1 D6 is a steal at a $100.00, Thanks again please keep the videos coming.
great review. quick question, do these watches have a twist to wake function, i mean do these watches come on automatically when you twist your wrist to tell the time?
great. that seals the deal for me. i saw another review where they say this wasn't included and that they only had a screen-on timer setting. once again thanks for the great review and keep up the good work.
Hello ! I just found your amazing channel and this video helped me to narrow my choice to those two watches. :) I still have one question though... Is it possible to replace the No.1 D6 strap ? Oh and... is it me or does the D6 looks a bit more "laggy" than the Q1 ?
These straps have antennas in them so they can't be replaced. I do think the Q1 is a bit peppier. The D6 doesn't have vibration in it either, just in case that is important to you for silent alarms, etc.
Another great video, thanks. Do either or both suppliers offer any kind of support desk? You mention firmware updates, any idea when the first will arrive and if they intend to release updates on a regular basis?
Ironically, this comments section on this UA-cam channel has become a kind of support desk for FINOW (Hi Jessie!). She monitors from time to time and replies back. Because of viewer questions they have added a way you can order extra docks for their entire line of watches. That all came from 'viewers like you' (sounding a bit like PBS TV?). Posting directly under the FINOW X5 First Look video is a good choice, as I've seen her hop in there. She may read this thread as well (are you there Jessie?) For firmware updates, yes, FINOW has released several. I've posted the one for the Q1 under the Q1 videos in the notes section, and the updates for the X1, X3, and X5 can be found here: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712/stream/7addeb1c-ef55-4732-b2e0-c6cc940dd5c0 Of course, we have a full series of videos on flashing firmware. Just pick out your watch model and start watching: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vXVm-kBtq0rMKjSltaJB1rm.html No.1 usually posts their firmware updates on their main website under a downloads tab and sorted by model number. I'd still advise watching one of the flashing videos here or follow this guide for help: plus.google.com/+LokifishMarz/posts/WVhaf9ztpzf
Thanks for the info re firmware updates. Where are the flash update drivers for the Q1? I can see the firmware update itself on the google page, but the video you did on flashing said that the drivers would be provided by the vendor.
As they are, they don't support calls via bluetooth. According to one of our UA-cam viewers, sonia sophie ataunna, use Text Message Tablet SMS Remote for phone calls and SMS. Use M2D for receiving and replying to notifications. Please let me know if these work for you: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appzcloud.smscallsremote Put this on your phone: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.m2d.notifications Put this on your watch: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.m2d.receiver Follow the directions carefully to get the hookup right.
There is an app you can download called Quick Launch. After opening this app you will find the HR app. Click on it and it will open and it will run. My Q1 was also hiding the HR app. Hope this helps!
Hi. Things are not going well with my Q1. I installed Floating Commander, and now I have a message "Unfortuntely, System UI has stopped" whenever I start the watch, which prevents me from getting to any other screens to remove the app, or do a factory reset. Any ideas?
Try opening the back and disconnecting the battery. If that doesn't do it, you may need to refresh the firmware. Follow any of the flashing videos and use the Q1 firmware (link listed under any of the Q1 videos). That's what I would do. Firmware videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vXVm-kBtq0rMKjSltaJB1rm.html Q1 latest firmware: drive.google.com/open?id=0B9kfip8cYm1nX2tBMXdqb21qRms
Thanks for responding. In the end I realised that there was around 3 seconds between the watch restarting and the Floating Commander app loading. That was just enough time for me to get into the Uninstall App setting and remove it. Re the flashing - I don't know where to get the Q1 drivers from. They are not included in the zip file.
I have the D6 and my friend has the Q1...for the built-in weather app, is there a way to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit? We have tried everywhere and can't figure it out.
Hello! Will there be a three side comparison between these wathces and the Lemfo K1? I think all of them share the same hardware Can you show how Google Voice works on these devices? I think it's a very important feature for a watch and previous watches running Kit Kat had no Google Voice support due to an OS bug AFAIK Thanks for your videos!
The best large screen pure Android watch you can buy right now is the FINOW X5. It's round and really nice. Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/NFWagIv8hFw/v-deo.html
Need a little help, Smartwatch Ticks......I'm trying to setup the Watch Help app, but everything is greyed out and I did pair with my phone....then I saw somewhere you need to download the app to make it work? I D/L one but I noticed it says no1d5connectandriodapp.apk do I guess its for the D5 and not the D6....do I need to get the one for D6 and if so, I'm having a hard time finding it.....or is it because I'm using Wi-Fi and I have to tun it off in order for the settings to enable?
Oh dear. Can you ask this on the Square Watch G+ Community? I really don't have the time o dig ito this for you. Other D6 owners may be able to help you. Thanks. For technical support, please post your question to the tech experts here on the G+ Square Android Watch Community: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118413074291213420811
SmartWatch Ticks thank you for the reply, I figured it out.....all I need to know now is how to get music copied over it keeps detecting as a camera. otherwise I love this watch!
Hi. The battery of my Q1 does not work more that 7h (3G) and 9h in airplane mode. Time of light and bright in minimun. I have it only one week. This is a problem?
Wow, you're getting a whole day worth from your Q1? Not bad! Remember, you've got a fast processor, bright screen and tiny battery in such a small form factor. It's basic physics. Some folks settle for four hours or so. Seven plus is really good. Be sure to keep Power Savings mode active if you want to squeeze out a bit more.
Hi, tks for help! I had three month ago a Samsung Gear Fit that life up to 48-60h in use moderate. I need this performance for work every day. The Finow inform in your site, 72h (3g) in stand by - impossible!!! I bought noting this and I feel good cheated. A underclock can improve this? Is possible for Q1?
Spare Parts - Look in the show notes here for spare parts: ua-cam.com/video/RmK9eoNbFag/v-deo.html I have asked people who find spare chargers, batteries, and other parts to post links here for the rest of us.
stupid question but, can you receive notifications like phone calls, whatsapp, sms via bluetooth from your smartphone instead of the nano sim of the watch
The links are in the show notes. Just tap on the SHOW MORE under the video and you see them all. You can also check the show notes under each of the separate watch review videos.
For technical support, please post your question to the tech experts here on the G+ Square Android Watch Community: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118413074291213420811
hello video producer, i have some questions :) 1- that is the integrated antenna on the Q1 i see at 7:50? is it the 2g/3g antenna or the wifi antenna? 1 B - the "proprietary" and irreplaceable bands on the Q1 should be a BIG CON, do you have my same opinion? in temns of longevity D6 should be a lot better to replace bands, being 100% circuits only in the central body. 2 - what about the 3 softtouch keys on the D6? i think that it's a REAL advantages over other smartwatches, because the nature of these watches is to be for NERDS who want NATIVE ANDROID, and if some developers will work on the D6, the fact to have the "standard" soft keys is a BIG BIG PRO in my opinion. 3 - it's a pity that the producer of these 3g smartwatch don't think to feature a BLUETOOTH CALLING through the watch, from the native phone. Ok these "phone" can survive standalone and dont require a REAL phone..... but 90% of people will use them with a phone, sho why to miss this important feature of reply to texts of calls directly form the watch? 4 - personal comment, i think that a nerd watchphone SHOULD BE MADE with square display, never circular!! why? because if you download a 3rd part app a circular display is not optimized to see all item on the page ofthe app, so i think that for FASHION boys of who don't require adtanved tweaking.....is ok to have circular display, but if a person want to run games, specific app, benchmarks... the display MUST BE rectangular/squared..... do you have my same opinion? 4 B - i noticed that when smartwatches uses circular display at 95% of cases......the interface SHOULD BE PROPRIETARY WRITTEN..... just to fit icons, etc.... but on every "nerd" square smartwatch that uses a vanilla android, the INTERFACE IS PRETTY STOCK...and don't require a lot of work from the producer, and less work = less bugs = a more natural andsmartphonelike interface, so users are not forced to see proprietary written "pages" of.....sms readers, picture viewers, etc....whilts in square display you can install ANY KIND OF video/image reader, with the bect functions, functions addavced, never found on "stock" app of circular displays.
I think I've found my next watch, and then I've watch your video :/ Dear Sir, do you know why Q1s display seems larger than no.1 D6, even though q1 is 1.54 and D6 is 1.64. is it because it's narrower? or because of "buttons" I like D6 more, since my wrist is 6,5 almost 7cm, I'm big dude :D Also in terms of support from companies, FINOW or NO.1? Seems like Finow "listens" to people on the forum... I need help deciding
I think I held the Q1 closer to the camera in some of the scenes. It also didn't look as sharp as the camera was focused more on the D6. As far as I can tell from looking, the actual lit up square on both watches seems the same size. The pixel numbers are the same (360x360) and the density is the same as well, so they must be the same size. The cases, of course, are different because of the buttons on the bottom of the D6. You will probably be happy with the D6 given your wrist size. I do think overall FINOW seems more responsive in how they deal with customers and the tech forums, even the comments here on this UA-cam channel. We haven't seen the same level of interest or support from No.1 yet, but it could happen. Both companies are in communication with many of us and are interested in our feedback, which is good. As for buying, FINOW has it's own company store on aliexpress,com while No.1 relies on 3rd party resellers like independent listers on aliexpress, GearBest and others. That 'middle man' concept can lead to problems for support as they often have to go between the customer and the manufacturer to resolve issues, and that takes time. Many have reported the specs listed on some sites are erroneous, particularly from GearBest (like stating there is support for TF cards on the D6, which isn't true as seen in the video). The closer you can get to the actual company, the less likely things won't be lost in translation (literally).
Thank you for explanation mister :) I love how d6 looks, but if there is a chance that FINOW will be "faster" in offering software improvements like "interactive notifications" and such, i might be inclined to do q1... Decisions, decisions....
Yikes! I lost the thread about what we were talking about. I did two OTA installs (kinda like firmware updates, I guess), and a few things have changed. What were you hoping would work?
Ah, yes. Well, no. That hasn't been fixed. Actually, it's not fixed on ANY of these Android standalone watches. It seems if you want access to the Google Play Store and ability to download apps, then you don't get the bluetooth calling connect to a cell phone that you expect to have because all the tethering (non-Android) watches do it. I hope it changes someday soon.
Hi Rudy, I've been asked not to release them any more. Here's what I send out to folks who request access: The ClockSkin ZIP file you are requesting has been removed. This video will explain why: ua-cam.com/video/dSMqCJoJob4/v-deo.html You can subscribe and download watch faces individually at the G+ Community for Android watches here: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712/stream/19c30560-6623-434f-9e61-14edf6033b92 For instructions on how to install clock skins in your watch, view this video starting about 10 minutes in: ua-cam.com/video/jp9gO7ZMwKE/v-deo.html You can also follow this guide: plus.google.com/+LokifishMarz/posts/SgSiRjrzE8c
for battery life, watch my video Some games are cut out, because of the 1:1 screen ratio. You can not install for example Subway surf and Supercell games from Playstore. Clash Royale works (apk, not from Playstore), but the watchs resulution is so low, that you cant see the text and health of the towers
Hi guys.... great watches by the way..... I have the D6...which is the best UA-cam film showing how to install these fantastic developed watch faces.... many thanks

And because we are all mad about these watches, I've also got the Aiwatch G3 can faces be uploaded to this platform as well if not which ones will run on the g3.
No, Cody, you can't do that on any Android watch, at least not yet. You must use a SIM card in the watch. Here's more background for you: The Android watches use the tethering app "Sinwear". It is extremely limited. I suggest you download it from the Google Play Store, install it on your phone (even if you don't have a watch yet), and check it out. You can pretty much tell what the tethering will be like from looking at the tethering app on the phone side. In contrast, the "tethering" watches use "Fundo Wear" as the tethering app. Download that one as well and compare. You've seen me explaining and demonstrating the Fundo Wear app in several videos. You can't use Fundo Wear with Android watches, only Sinwear. Here are the links: Sinwear - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sinwear Fundo Wear - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kct.fundowear.btnotification
SmartWatch Ticks last question till i get them in a few weeks..whats your order best to worse..i want one round and square. 1g/8g quad core circle 400x400 square 360x360 im down to Round X5+ OR D5+ OR Q3+ Square D6 or Q1 OR S6 Thanks
I have different ordering depending on which quality I am using to sort. Overall I like X5plus/LEM5 for round and Q1 for square. LEM4 for ease of use/easy to read.
I will try. I've heard the GPS on the round watches isn't that good, but I don't think there has been testing done on the Android 5.1 versions, the D6 and Q1. If anyone else out there can test as well, please let us know your findings. It would be good to know 1. Do you get GPS without either cellular or WiFi connection? 2. Does it take a long time to acquire? 3. Does it stay connected when you get it? 4. Does it matter which way your arm is pointing? 5. Can you pick up better if you don't wear the watch at all? Any help would be appreciated (by all of us). Thanks!
D6 GPS didn't work for me without sim/mobile network and A-GPS. I had tried with device only mode (not depends on cellular or wifi network, only gps). It could not get location in open area (I have waited 5 minutes, each time; and weather was clear). In same location my phone get lock (in device only mode) within 30-45 seconds.
D6 doesn't make/receive call from your main phone (connected using Bluetooth). It's an important and basic feature for a smartwatch to use with existing phone, like other smartwatches. Is there anyone who can confirm that functionality for Q1?
Yes, I can confirm. None of these standalone Android 4.4 or Android 5.1 smartwatches tether phone calls they way you describe. They are made to be use as standalone 'phones' with their own SIM card. It's an important and basic feature for a TETHERING smartwatch to use with existing phone. All these watches do what you want: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vW40mQ7D5yjsUxc4ms5Z-zj.html
The D6 doesn't support vibration. The Q1 doesn't have the three buttons at the bottom. The bands are different. I like them both, and there are things I don't like about them as well.
A Kinsella I'm new and been watching videos days to pick my first round and square watch and you comment a lot so I would like your opinion on the ones I'm down to I'm wanting 1g/8g and the quad-core...400×400 resolution and separate question can you Bluetooth with them and answer your calls like with a headset wireless blue tooth? Round X5× OR Q3+ OR S8+ OR D5+ Square D6 OR Q1 OR S6
I have received a D6 today, so far here is what I have noticed: - Screen is NOT Sapphire glass my diamond detector tool does not react at all, while it reacts to my ipod touch 5 camera lens (Sapphire). - GPS works fine at least for me (France) detects 4+ satellites quickly once outside, google maps locates me precisely. - Heart sensor is badly placed my arms are small so I have to press the watch for it to give a reading. - 1GB Ram? I've seen videos where the watch report only 465MB Available total ram, I've tested mine after the first OTA it reports 972 Total RAM, hard to know if it was a mistake on the original firmware (it has happened with other devices) or if they are naughty and faking the total ram. -22K on antutu, pretty impressive. - 2 OTA so far in June they seem to be active, let's see if they keep their promises and provide android 6 (Already available on MTK 6580 phones). - Wifi seem decent, downloads apps at 4MB/sec+ I don't have a nano sim around and I don't want to cut my sim to test the 3G. - Firmware is pretty clean, several watch specific apps in here but they cannot be removed, facebook/twitter already installed but they can be updated via play store so they haven't been tampered with.
Thanks for the report! Very thorough and helpful. A question about your GPS results. Were you on WiFi when you did that? Are you sure it was GPS results and not WiFi location data? Did the maps update when you moved, as in driving? Thanks again!
No, it has a full 1GB RAM. The early firmware for the No.1 D6 didn't show it, but with a firmware update it is there. New ones should show 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM for both the Q1 and D6
I think having a watch that looks more like a watch is more pleasing to the eye, much better than having buttons showing. plus the no'1 touch screen is not as good
D6 cons: 1. charging cable 2. heart rate sensor is mis-placed, hard to connect/detect. Pros: 1.larger battery, 2. capacitance buttons (learn to use the home button, please! LOL) 3. OTA updates 4. much slimmer. Easy choice. D6 wins.
Yes, but not the real high powered ones. Some that use special sensors may not work if they need a compass or gyroscope, for example, and the watch doesn't support the sensor. Solitare should work fine, if you can touch the tiny cards.
That's more complicated for me to set up, but I hope to get to it someday soon. That and all the tethering stuff. It's complex and different for each watch.
No you won't!!!!!!!!!!! But I can say from experience that the D6 makes crystal clear calls. You be heard clearly and person talking to you experiences not echo or feed back of themselves. So as a phone what it is used for or should be used for as a stand alone phone that makes and receives calls it is outstanding. Only con is you will have to put watch to ear in environments such as shopping centers or supermarket to hear but that can be solved with bluetooth headset.
The issue with these full Android watches is they all die within an hour if you: 1) leave wifi/data on 2)use GPS/bluetooth 3)use pretty much any app for a decent amount of time 4)use this for anything but a watch I have the z80, z80s, No.1 D6 and the FINOW Q1, and none of them can get decent signal, data doesn't work in America on any of them, and they all die within a few hours even if everything mentioned above is turned off, and I only use it as a watch. The only one that could last basically the whole day was the Z80S, and I only checked the time with the quick check (when you bring your wrist up). TLDR don't buy any of these with the idea you can actually use them like you do your phone
Correct, these are not phone replacement devices, at least not until battery life improves significantly. The No.1 D7 is an attempt to squeeze more life out of an Android watch. I get a little over 3 days of light use and definitely more than 8-12 hours of heavy use. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/iw92M2naNWA/v-deo.html
If you have a decent 3G connection with your watch SIM, then yes, you can surf the web. I like the Apus browser (not Apus turbo, but the basic) as a good browser for the watch format. Chrome is too big and bulky for the memory space on a watch, I find.
Hi, could you tell me your no.1 d6 sofeware date? Beacuse our engineer tell me in the first have 512mb version. I think my colleague Confused and sent you 512mb version. But the latest version of our software really is 1GB.
Yes, you are right NO.1 phone, there is only 512MB of RAM in the watch you sent me that I am reviewing on this UA-cam channel. Here is how I check: When I press the left of the bottom buttons and select Manage apps, I see all downloaded apps. When I swipe once to the left I see Running apps. The watch reports I have 131MB used for System, 126MB used for Apps, and 208MB still free. When you add those up you get 131+126+208=465MB. That is what the system is reporting, but it is actually 512MB. I would recommend for Hover Films and anyone else concerned about how much RAM to to the same check I did and report here what you find. Does anyone get 1GB (probably somewhere around 900+MB reported) when you look at the running apps page? For No.1 phone, my software date is Broadband Version 2016/05/17, Kernel version Thu Jun 16 21:01:51 CST 2016. Build number and Custom build version do not have dates. I have also applied two OTA updates, the latest one supposedly to improve the Antutu score to 23200. After the update my score is worse at 18587. Could this be for low RAM memory?
Hi. our engineers have made a solution. Please use a computer to upgrade NO.1 D6 to the latest version through the data line. en.001phone.cn/download-50.html
Yes, No.1 phone, I did download and flash the 160616 firmware earlier today and the missing 512MB of RAM appeared. I also received an OTA dated 0624 after flashing. Does this OTA address the problem? Can users with the problem correct it through installing the 0624 OTA? If not, what does the 0624 OTA do?
For test reasons, I ordered two further Smartwatch models whereby the latest order arrived today. It is a No.1 D6 3G Smartwatch Phone SKU No 182266501. Removing very carefully the battery I found out that one of the battery wires is broken and hanging around above the SIM card cage. The User Manual does not tell you where the SD memory extension card has to be installed and even rather computer savvy I cannot find either the second SIM card slot not can I find the SD (T) card slot. The instruction manual is mostly directed to The entire deliveries of Smartwatches are a disaster. Interesting enough the cheapest one performs the Google Android 5.1 but does not tell you the function or usage or installation. In other words, one has to be a mind reader of some kind to be able to understand the rather unsatisfactory and primitive English that does often make no sense at all. Charging the item is as impossible as described in my last complaint. The magnets on the connecting cable are useless and as good as dead and the cable that feeds the USB connection is far too coarse and should be a silicon cable but not a rough kind of wire that may be good for the usage of the standard USB mini or so usage. I can tell you it is a shame that otherwise a well designed and good appearing item is hopelessly bad supported and technical details are inadequate and despairingly bad designed. I will write a sufficient, honest report about my experiences with GearBest and their Smartwatch products on various editorials on the Internet. It is not good to sell products that have no technical research but are nothing else than non-working knockoffs to catch the person purchasing on a cheapskate basis.
Does yours have the vibration motor in it? The first several thousand didn't even have vibration. After enough customer complaints they started putting it in some of them When you get your battery wire reconnected, you might want to check and see if it vibrates. Thanks for your honest report.
I recived my no.1 d6 today. Build quality seems ok. But the battery life it's useless. Also it doesn't have 1 GB of ram, it's 500MB....what a pitty. At least GPS works good, with fast reception and good precission. I'm selling it
Sorry to hear. I just read a post from No.1 Phone to a similar post on another video where they said some of the earlier watches went out with 512MB, but now they are shipping full 1GB units. That was probably part of their early super sale they had to clear first run inventory. If you bought yours recently and paid over $100 for it, you might want to consider asking for a refund or replacement. I'm excited to hear GPS works good. I haven't tested it yet. Can you tell if it works for you without being on either cellular or WiFi network? Will it track you on off-line maps, for example. That would be really great if it doesn't need network to work.
Thanks for the info, Yoyo. When you use the offline gps navigation, does your watch show your position on the map and update when you move around? Which free gps navigation app are you using?
If I could do tings over again i would go for the no1 d6 because the finow q1 is rally buggy and if you get a error like bluetooth and wifi not being abbe to turn on. they wont help at all. Even if it happens 2-3 days after you got the watch. I personally find finows quality control lacking based on my q1 related problems. but what surprised me is that "jessie" who is so helpful with information to you actually didnt even respond to the emails i sent her about the problem. And there official aliexpress store where i bought the faulty watch didnt respond either. instead i finaly got some kind of response from the no1 support which is Odd since there a totaly different brand but the hardware in both the q1 and the d6 is completely same. there advice didnt help but still it surprised me since it wasnt their watch i just took a chanse when i emailed their support. but still FINOW=CRAP, NO1=GOOD :D
I like most iMacwear SPARTA M7 Smart Watch. Because This is an amazing Smart Watch. Function are same android phone. Looks sporty and elegant. I hope comfort on my wrist. I like it. Great giveaway. Thanks @Chinavasion for this chance. I wish to win it.
I ordered my q1 yesterday! I can't wait!
Another excellent Chinese smartwatch review. After sadly having to return my DOA IQI I2 watch (and learning what a pain it is to deal Chinese vendors with returns), I have gone with the No. 1 D6 to compliment my original No. 1 D5. I must say that I am concerned about the crappy charger of the D6 (I had the same issue with the IQI I2), but for half the price of the D5, I feel I can't go wrong, and your detailed review reassures me!
The D6 is a nice watch if they would fix the charger and put a vibration motor in it.
Thanks for your many videos, you make watch selection much easier, I think for a purchaser the NO. 1 D6 is a steal at a $100.00, Thanks again please keep the videos coming.
I agree. Once these pure Android 5.1 watches hit the $100 price point, that's a good buy.
Yes. The D6 is amazing! Thanks for this man. Can't wait for mine.
great review. quick question, do these watches have a twist to wake function, i mean do these watches come on automatically when you twist your wrist to tell the time?
Yes, they both have the option to turn that twist to wake on or off in one of the settings.
great. that seals the deal for me. i saw another review where they say this wasn't included and that they only had a screen-on timer setting. once again thanks for the great review and keep up the good work.
Hello ! I just found your amazing channel and this video helped me to narrow my choice to those two watches. :)
I still have one question though... Is it possible to replace the No.1 D6 strap ?
Oh and... is it me or does the D6 looks a bit more "laggy" than the Q1 ?
These straps have antennas in them so they can't be replaced. I do think the Q1 is a bit peppier. The D6 doesn't have vibration in it either, just in case that is important to you for silent alarms, etc.
Ok, thanx a lot for your answer ! I'm gonna order the Q1 tonight ! :)
Another great video, thanks. Do either or both suppliers offer any kind of support desk? You mention firmware updates, any idea when the first will arrive and if they intend to release updates on a regular basis?
Ironically, this comments section on this UA-cam channel has become a kind of support desk for FINOW (Hi Jessie!). She monitors from time to time and replies back.

For firmware updates, yes, FINOW has released several. I've posted the one for the Q1 under the Q1 videos in the notes section, and the updates for the X1, X3, and X5 can be found here: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712/stream/7addeb1c-ef55-4732-b2e0-c6cc940dd5c0
Of course, we have a full series of videos on flashing firmware. Just pick out your watch model and start watching: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vXVm-kBtq0rMKjSltaJB1rm.html
No.1 usually posts their firmware updates on their main website under a downloads tab and sorted by model number. I'd still advise watching one of the flashing videos here or follow this guide for help: plus.google.com/+LokifishMarz/posts/WVhaf9ztpzf
Thanks for the info re firmware updates. Where are the flash update drivers for the Q1? I can see the firmware update itself on the google page, but the video you did on flashing said that the drivers would be provided by the vendor.
Hi, question.... can you use Q1 charger in a No1 D6? It seems Q1 is stronger than D6's. Is it compatible? Thank you
hi , all watches with the sim card , can i call it carrying only using bluetooth ?
how does the ZGPAX S8 compare to those?
are those the best stand alone full ANdroid watches below $100?
The y compare well. Just a matter of choice as to which one you like best.
can you show me the way that you creat watch faces in this video, please ! . i cant find it in my watch.
superb work
please tell me why these watches do not have the feature to make or receive calls via bluetooth? any way to make this feature possible?
As they are, they don't support calls via bluetooth. According to one of our UA-cam viewers, sonia sophie ataunna, use Text Message Tablet SMS Remote for phone calls and SMS. Use M2D for receiving and replying to notifications. Please let me know if these work for you:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appzcloud.smscallsremote
Put this on your phone:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.m2d.notifications
Put this on your watch:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.m2d.receiver
Follow the directions carefully to get the hookup right.
Hi. I just received the Q1. Great watch. But no HR monitor? I have seen reviews where it was actually shown. Did I miss anything?
the heart rate sensor is fake and the fake app only appears in some firmwares
There is an app you can download called Quick Launch. After opening this app you will find the HR app. Click on it and it will open and it will run. My Q1 was also hiding the HR app. Hope this helps!
Thanks Joe! I'll add this tidbit to the show notes!
Hi. Things are not going well with my Q1. I installed Floating Commander, and now I have a message "Unfortuntely, System UI has stopped" whenever I start the watch, which prevents me from getting to any other screens to remove the app, or do a factory reset. Any ideas?
Try opening the back and disconnecting the battery. If that doesn't do it, you may need to refresh the firmware. Follow any of the flashing videos and use the Q1 firmware (link listed under any of the Q1 videos). That's what I would do.
Firmware videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vXVm-kBtq0rMKjSltaJB1rm.html
Q1 latest firmware: drive.google.com/open?id=0B9kfip8cYm1nX2tBMXdqb21qRms
Thanks for responding. In the end I realised that there was around 3 seconds between the watch restarting and the Floating Commander app loading. That was just enough time for me to get into the Uninstall App setting and remove it. Re the flashing - I don't know where to get the Q1 drivers from. They are not included in the zip file.
I have the D6 and my friend has the Q1...for the built-in weather app, is there a way to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit? We have tried everywhere and can't figure it out.
No, we have tried everywhere as well, no luck yet. Stuck with "C"
Oh ok...thanks,well I guess I'll install a weather app off the Google Store and just delete the built-in one, if that's possible to remove it.
Hello! Will there be a three side comparison between these wathces and the Lemfo K1? I think all of them share the same hardware
Can you show how Google Voice works on these devices? I think it's a very important feature for a watch and previous watches running Kit Kat had no Google Voice support due to an OS bug AFAIK
Thanks for your videos!
@smartwatch Tics: which is the biggest screen smartwatch under 130$ can you suggest some good one please ?
The best large screen pure Android watch you can buy right now is the FINOW X5. It's round and really nice. Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/NFWagIv8hFw/v-deo.html
Thank you. Can you suggest something which can withstand rain (Waterproof ) ?
do they both support auto turn-on clock when turning the wrist?
yes
tell me pls these watch support 3g gsm sim or not
Hi sir, when you connect the Q1 to an iPhone does it connect with IOS and if it does, it gets whatsapp notifications from it?
I don't know. I haven't tried these watches with iPhones. Does anybody know the answer to AsafHalperin's question?
SmartWatch Ticks i cant find a place that is not sold out of the q1 can you help my i really want to buy it
Is there any way to install apps as android wear apps? I've downloaded some but they all run like a regular android app in the watch.
No, Android Wear apps will only work on watches that support Android Wear.
Someone knows where i can order the q1 every place i check is sold out
Need a little help, Smartwatch Ticks......I'm trying to setup the Watch Help app, but everything is greyed out and I did pair with my phone....then I saw somewhere you need to download the app to make it work? I D/L one but I noticed it says no1d5connectandriodapp.apk do I guess its for the D5 and not the D6....do I need to get the one for D6 and if so, I'm having a hard time finding it.....or is it because I'm using Wi-Fi and I have to tun it off in order for the settings to enable?
Oh dear. Can you ask this on the Square Watch G+ Community? I really don't have the time o dig ito this for you. Other D6 owners may be able to help you. Thanks.
For technical support, please post your question to the tech experts here on the G+ Square Android Watch Community: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118413074291213420811
SmartWatch Ticks
thank you for the reply, I figured it out.....all I need to know now is how to get music copied over it keeps detecting as a camera. otherwise I love this watch!
Hello. Can you tell me where to get replacement battery for D6?
Check the comments and show notes under the video I did on the "Most asked questions" series on battery life.
SmartWatch Ticks Thank you very much!
Are the screen resolution beter on q1? It seems more blurry on d6. Awsome work with u videos!
To me the image does look a bit better on the Q1 as well. I think the specs are the same, it's just crisper and brighter on the Q1.
Hi. The battery of my Q1 does not work more that 7h (3G) and 9h in airplane mode. Time of light and bright in minimun.
I have it only one week. This is a problem?
Wow, you're getting a whole day worth from your Q1? Not bad! Remember, you've got a fast processor, bright screen and tiny battery in such a small form factor. It's basic physics. Some folks settle for four hours or so. Seven plus is really good. Be sure to keep Power Savings mode active if you want to squeeze out a bit more.
Hi, tks for help! I had three month ago a Samsung Gear Fit that life up to 48-60h in use moderate. I need this performance for work every day. The Finow inform in your site, 72h (3g) in stand by - impossible!!! I bought noting this and I feel good cheated. A underclock can improve this? Is possible for Q1?
Can you tell me where I can buy an additional battery for the Finow Q1?
Spare Parts -
Look in the show notes here for spare parts: ua-cam.com/video/RmK9eoNbFag/v-deo.html
I have asked people who find spare chargers, batteries, and other parts to post links here for the rest of us.
It seems that the 502828 battery is no longer made. Bummer.
stupid question but, can you receive notifications like phone calls, whatsapp, sms via bluetooth from your smartphone instead of the nano sim of the watch
Juan Manuel Saracho
yes...you have to install Watch Helper on your smartphone and then pair it to the watch.
thank you for your testing.I prefer to the D6,I love the buttons, it's so convenient.:)
hi sir can you put different launchers on q1 like Nova launcher? thanks!
Sure. It's an Android phone after all.
Wich is better Finow Q1 Smart Watch K8 Upgraded Version or original and can you put a lint to the wach
Of the square ones I like the Q1 the best. Good build quality and excellent selection of custom faces that can be installed.
can you put a link to the wach
The links are in the show notes. Just tap on the SHOW MORE under the video and you see them all. You can also check the show notes under each of the separate watch review videos.
I was put sim on and finow Q1 see my operator but does not see the range. Please, help
For technical support, please post your question to the tech experts here on the G+ Square Android Watch Community: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/118413074291213420811
You said the Q1 took a micro sim. Is it micro or is it nano?
Yikes! Sorry. Yes, it's NANO not MCIRO. Good catch.
Great accept the battery is terrible. No continuous heart rate either on the D6. The back cover broke on mine. Anyway to get a new one?
Sure! Check with No.1 here: www.chinawatchs.com/get-free-no-1-smartwatch-spare-parts/
Does both watches vibration function ?
The No.1 D6 does NOT have vibration. The entire line of FINOW watches, X1, X3, X5, and Q1 DO have vibration support.
Can you change the strap on the FINOW?
No, sorry. They have antennas in them.
sir , can i download a camera app for finow q1 ?
No, it won't work because there is no camera in the Q1
hello video producer, i have some questions :)
1- that is the integrated antenna on the Q1 i see at 7:50? is it the 2g/3g antenna or the wifi antenna?
1 B - the "proprietary" and irreplaceable bands on the Q1 should be a BIG CON, do you have my same opinion? in temns of longevity D6 should be a lot better to replace bands, being 100% circuits only in the central body.
2 - what about the 3 softtouch keys on the D6? i think that it's a REAL advantages over other smartwatches, because the nature of these watches is to be for NERDS who want NATIVE ANDROID, and if some developers will work on the D6, the fact to have the "standard" soft keys is a BIG BIG PRO in my opinion.
3 - it's a pity that the producer of these 3g smartwatch don't think to feature a BLUETOOTH CALLING through the watch, from the native phone. Ok these "phone" can survive standalone and dont require a REAL phone..... but 90% of people will use them with a phone, sho why to miss this important feature of reply to texts of calls directly form the watch?
4 - personal comment, i think that a nerd watchphone SHOULD BE MADE with square display, never circular!! why? because if you download a 3rd part app a circular display is not optimized to see all item on the page ofthe app, so i think that for FASHION boys of who don't require adtanved tweaking.....is ok to have circular display, but if a person want to run games, specific app, benchmarks... the display MUST BE rectangular/squared..... do you have my same opinion?
4 B - i noticed that when smartwatches uses circular display at 95% of cases......the interface SHOULD BE PROPRIETARY WRITTEN..... just to fit icons, etc.... but on every "nerd" square smartwatch that uses a vanilla android, the INTERFACE IS PRETTY STOCK...and don't require a lot of work from the producer, and less work = less bugs = a more natural andsmartphonelike interface, so users are not forced to see proprietary written "pages" of.....sms readers, picture viewers, etc....whilts in square display you can install ANY KIND OF video/image reader, with the bect functions, functions addavced, never found on "stock" app of circular displays.
hi , hi , all watches with the sim card , can i call it carrying only using bluetooth ?
No, Nno, no you can't. This video explains it: ua-cam.com/video/hvOvGThb3i4/v-deo.html
Do finow q1 have playstore
Yes, it does.
I think I've found my next watch, and then I've watch your video :/
Dear Sir, do you know why Q1s display seems larger than no.1 D6, even though q1 is 1.54 and D6 is 1.64. is it because it's narrower? or because of "buttons"
I like D6 more, since my wrist is 6,5 almost 7cm, I'm big dude :D
Also in terms of support from companies, FINOW or NO.1? Seems like Finow "listens" to people on the forum...
I need help deciding
I think I held the Q1 closer to the camera in some of the scenes. It also didn't look as sharp as the camera was focused more on the D6. As far as I can tell from looking, the actual lit up square on both watches seems the same size. The pixel numbers are the same (360x360) and the density is the same as well, so they must be the same size. The cases, of course, are different because of the buttons on the bottom of the D6.
You will probably be happy with the D6 given your wrist size. I do think overall FINOW seems more responsive in how they deal with customers and the tech forums, even the comments here on this UA-cam channel. We haven't seen the same level of interest or support from No.1 yet, but it could happen. Both companies are in communication with many of us and are interested in our feedback, which is good.
As for buying, FINOW has it's own company store on aliexpress,com while No.1 relies on 3rd party resellers like independent listers on aliexpress, GearBest and others. That 'middle man' concept can lead to problems for support as they often have to go between the customer and the manufacturer to resolve issues, and that takes time. Many have reported the specs listed on some sites are erroneous, particularly from GearBest (like stating there is support for TF cards on the D6, which isn't true as seen in the video). The closer you can get to the actual company, the less likely things won't be lost in translation (literally).
Thank you for explanation mister :)
I love how d6 looks, but if there is a chance that FINOW will be "faster" in offering software improvements like "interactive notifications" and such, i might be inclined to do q1...
Decisions, decisions....
greeting . pls , how can i install watch faces. thanks
plus.google.com/+LokifishMarz/posts/SgSiRjrzE8c
may be it will work after the firmware update?
Yikes! I lost the thread about what we were talking about. I did two OTA installs (kinda like firmware updates, I guess), and a few things have changed. What were you hoping would work?
I am expecting to receive calls via bluetooth without any 3rd party software
Ah, yes. Well, no. That hasn't been fixed. Actually, it's not fixed on ANY of these Android standalone watches. It seems if you want access to the Google Play Store and ability to download apps, then you don't get the bluetooth calling connect to a cell phone that you expect to have because all the tethering (non-Android) watches do it. I hope it changes someday soon.
can you give me acces to download the zip of the watchfaces?
Hi Rudy, I've been asked not to release them any more. Here's what I send out to folks who request access:
The ClockSkin ZIP file you are requesting has been removed. This video will explain why: ua-cam.com/video/dSMqCJoJob4/v-deo.html
You can subscribe and download watch faces individually at the G+ Community for Android watches here: plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712/stream/19c30560-6623-434f-9e61-14edf6033b92

You can also follow this guide: plus.google.com/+LokifishMarz/posts/SgSiRjrzE8c
does it support all android games ?
It will support some games, but it doesn't have all the sensors you find on a phone, or a fast processor. Games will decrease battery as well.
for battery life, watch my video
Some games are cut out, because of the 1:1 screen ratio. You can not install for example Subway surf and Supercell games from Playstore. Clash Royale works (apk, not from Playstore), but the watchs resulution is so low, that you cant see the text and health of the towers
please perform a test on the whatsapp feature......i want to see whether it works well on D6
Sorry, I don't use WhatsApp. Someone else will have to do that for you. Anyone out there have success with this app on this watch?
SmartWatch Ticks I have Whatsapp on my Q1 and it works good. The only problem is that I can not use Whatsapp Web, because it doesn't have a camera
Ah! Thanks for the WhatsApp update.
Smartwatch Hax and if it’s connected to a phone, it gets regular notifications from whatsapp?
Hi guys.... great watches by the way..... I have the D6...which is the best UA-cam film showing how to install these fantastic developed watch faces.... many thanks

D6 or mi band 3?
I am in doubt on what to buy , which of these three models for you guys and the best?
NO. 1 D6
Finow Z80
Finow Q1
Please do a GPS test driving around with a standalone GPS app (maps.me) while cellular is disabled and wifi is disabled.
In FINOW can someone answer through watch (without sim card inserted) via Bluetooth, using watche's speaker?
smart watchticks can you answer calls blue tooth also does the x5+ let you
No, Cody, you can't do that on any Android watch, at least not yet. You must use a SIM card in the watch. Here's more background for you:
The Android watches use the tethering app "Sinwear". It is extremely limited. I suggest you download it from the Google Play Store, install it on your phone (even if you don't have a watch yet), and check it out. You can pretty much tell what the tethering will be like from looking at the tethering app on the phone side. In contrast, the "tethering" watches use "Fundo Wear" as the tethering app. Download that one as well and compare. You've seen me explaining and demonstrating the Fundo Wear app in several videos. You can't use Fundo Wear with Android watches, only Sinwear. Here are the links:

SmartWatch Ticks
last question till i get them in a few weeks..whats your order best to worse..i want one round and square. 1g/8g quad core circle 400x400 square 360x360 im down to
Round X5+ OR D5+ OR Q3+
Square D6 or Q1 OR S6
Thanks
I have different ordering depending on which quality I am using to sort. Overall I like X5plus/LEM5 for round and Q1 for square. LEM4 for ease of use/easy to read.
please, could you make a video testing the GPS of the no1 d6? I don't care the watch faces at all....
I will try. I've heard the GPS on the round watches isn't that good, but I don't think there has been testing done on the Android 5.1 versions, the D6 and Q1. If anyone else out there can test as well, please let us know your findings. It would be good to know
1. Do you get GPS without either cellular or WiFi connection?
2. Does it take a long time to acquire?
3. Does it stay connected when you get it?
4. Does it matter which way your arm is pointing?
5. Can you pick up better if you don't wear the watch at all?
Any help would be appreciated (by all of us). Thanks!
D6 GPS didn't work for me without sim/mobile network and A-GPS. I had tried with device only mode (not depends on cellular or wifi network, only gps).
It could not get location in open area (I have waited 5 minutes, each time; and weather was clear). In same location my phone get lock (in device only mode) within 30-45 seconds.
SmartWatch Ticks
witch one between these and the S6
Personally, I'd take the Q1. Better overall build. The back on the D6/S6 breaks to easily and the charging cable doesn't attach well (weak magnets).
D6 doesn't make/receive call from your main phone (connected using Bluetooth). It's an important and basic feature for a smartwatch to use with existing phone, like other smartwatches. Is there anyone who can confirm that functionality for Q1?
Yes, I can confirm. None of these standalone Android 4.4 or Android 5.1 smartwatches tether phone calls they way you describe. They are made to be use as standalone 'phones' with their own SIM card.
It's an important and basic feature for a TETHERING smartwatch to use with existing phone. All these watches do what you want: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vW40mQ7D5yjsUxc4ms5Z-zj.html
thanks for detailed review daddy
You're welcome. Be sure to check out the newest review, too: ua-cam.com/video/f9luQdh8rHU/v-deo.html
Which one is better?
The D6 doesn't support vibration. The Q1 doesn't have the three buttons at the bottom. The bands are different. I like them both, and there are things I don't like about them as well.
What is better Finow 1 or No.1 D6???
Which is better? I'd suggest you watch the video again. It's pretty obvious.
The winner for me was clear in the first 30 seconds.. FINOW !!
DITTO!!!
D6 all the way

I'm new and been watching videos days to pick my first round and square watch and you comment a lot so I would like your opinion on the ones I'm down to I'm wanting 1g/8g and the quad-core...400×400 resolution
and separate question can you Bluetooth with them and answer your calls like with a headset wireless blue tooth?
Round X5× OR Q3+ OR S8+ OR D5+
Square D6 OR Q1 OR S6
Square D6. They have vibration now.
Round D5+
Now you can use bluetooth with them to answer calls if using sim card. Adrian.
I have received a D6 today, so far here is what I have noticed:
- Screen is NOT Sapphire glass my diamond detector tool does not react at all, while it reacts to my ipod touch 5 camera lens (Sapphire).
- GPS works fine at least for me (France) detects 4+ satellites quickly once outside, google maps locates me precisely.
- Heart sensor is badly placed my arms are small so I have to press the watch for it to give a reading.
- 1GB Ram? I've seen videos where the watch report only 465MB Available total ram, I've tested mine after the first OTA it reports 972 Total RAM, hard to know if it was a mistake on the original firmware (it has happened with other devices) or if they are naughty and faking the total ram.
-22K on antutu, pretty impressive.
- 2 OTA so far in June they seem to be active, let's see if they keep their promises and provide android 6 (Already available on MTK 6580 phones).
- Wifi seem decent, downloads apps at 4MB/sec+ I don't have a nano sim around and I don't want to cut my sim to test the 3G.
- Firmware is pretty clean, several watch specific apps in here but they cannot be removed, facebook/twitter already installed but they can be updated via play store so they haven't been tampered with.
Thanks for the report! Very thorough and helpful. A question about your GPS results. Were you on WiFi when you did that? Are you sure it was GPS results and not WiFi location data? Did the maps update when you moved, as in driving? Thanks again!
Sapphire coated glass not Sapphire glass. Add another $50 for sapphire glass.
the Q1 has half the ram?
No, it has a full 1GB RAM. The early firmware for the No.1 D6 didn't show it, but with a firmware update it is there. New ones should show 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM for both the Q1 and D6
Tough choice. Hmmm, I think I will go with the FINOW
Yes! I like to leave you with tough choices.
I think having a watch that looks more like a watch is more pleasing to the eye, much better than having buttons showing. plus the no'1 touch screen is not as good
D6 cons: 1. charging cable 2. heart rate sensor is mis-placed, hard to connect/detect. Pros: 1.larger battery, 2. capacitance buttons (learn to use the home button, please! LOL) 3. OTA updates 4. much slimmer. Easy choice. D6 wins.
Can they get games ?
Yes, but not the real high powered ones. Some that use special sensors may not work if they need a compass or gyroscope, for example, and the watch doesn't support the sensor. Solitare should work fine, if you can touch the tiny cards.
+SmartWatch Ticks thanks any idea how to download them, side load or something ?
+Dan Yang you can download those games from playstore
tell me is these watch support 3g gsm sim?
I am still waiting for a video, testing phone calls. After all they are PHONE WATCHES.
Thanks in advance. Julian Morren
That's more complicated for me to set up, but I hope to get to it someday soon. That and all the tethering stuff. It's complex and different for each watch.
No you won't. LOL
No you won't!!!!!!!!!!! But I can say from experience that the D6 makes crystal clear calls. You be heard clearly and person talking to you experiences not echo or feed back of themselves. So as a phone what it is used for or should be used for as a stand alone phone that makes and receives calls it is outstanding. Only con is you will have to put watch to ear in environments such as shopping centers or supermarket to hear but that can be solved with bluetooth headset.
Can you show Q1 with bluetooth ear plugs. PLS :)
No.
The issue with these full Android watches is they all die within an hour if you:
1) leave wifi/data on
2)use GPS/bluetooth
3)use pretty much any app for a decent amount of time
4)use this for anything but a watch
I have the z80, z80s, No.1 D6 and the FINOW Q1, and none of them can get decent signal, data doesn't work in America on any of them, and they all die within a few hours even if everything mentioned above is turned off, and I only use it as a watch. The only one that could last basically the whole day was the Z80S, and I only checked the time with the quick check (when you bring your wrist up).
TLDR don't buy any of these with the idea you can actually use them like you do your phone
Correct, these are not phone replacement devices, at least not until battery life improves significantly. The No.1 D7 is an attempt to squeeze more life out of an Android watch. I get a little over 3 days of light use and definitely more than 8-12 hours of heavy use. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/iw92M2naNWA/v-deo.html
CAN I SURF THE NET ON 3G ALONE NOT WIFI
If you have a decent 3G connection with your watch SIM, then yes, you can surf the web. I like the Apus browser (not Apus turbo, but the basic) as a good browser for the watch format. Chrome is too big and bulky for the memory space on a watch, I find.
Hello, i received my no1 d6, first of all I noticed it has only 512mb of RAM, and 5 gb of rom. What a shame
Hi, could you tell me your no.1 d6 sofeware date? Beacuse our engineer tell me in the first have 512mb version. I think my colleague Confused and sent you 512mb version. But the latest version of our software really is 1GB.
Yes, you are right NO.1 phone, there is only 512MB of RAM in the watch you sent me that I am reviewing on this UA-cam channel.
Here is how I check: When I press the left of the bottom buttons and select Manage apps, I see all downloaded apps. When I swipe once to the left I see Running apps. The watch reports I have 131MB used for System, 126MB used for Apps, and 208MB still free. When you add those up you get 131+126+208=465MB. That is what the system is reporting, but it is actually 512MB.
I would recommend for Hover Films and anyone else concerned about how much RAM to to the same check I did and report here what you find. Does anyone get 1GB (probably somewhere around 900+MB reported) when you look at the running apps page?
For No.1 phone, my software date is Broadband Version 2016/05/17, Kernel version Thu Jun 16 21:01:51 CST 2016. Build number and Custom build version do not have dates. I have also applied two OTA updates, the latest one supposedly to improve the Antutu score to 23200. After the update my score is worse at 18587. Could this be for low RAM memory?
Hi. our engineers have made a solution.
Please use a computer to upgrade NO.1 D6 to the latest version through the data line.
en.001phone.cn/download-50.html
Yes, No.1 phone, I did download and flash the 160616 firmware earlier today and the missing 512MB of RAM appeared. I also received an OTA dated 0624 after flashing. Does this OTA address the problem? Can users with the problem correct it through installing the 0624 OTA? If not, what does the 0624 OTA do?
thanks for reply
For test reasons, I ordered two further Smartwatch models whereby the latest order arrived today. It is a No.1 D6 3G Smartwatch Phone SKU No 182266501. Removing very carefully the battery I found out that one of the battery wires is broken and hanging around above the SIM card cage. The User Manual does not tell you where the SD memory extension card has to be installed and even rather computer savvy I cannot find either the second SIM card slot not can I find the SD (T) card slot. The instruction manual is mostly directed to The entire deliveries of Smartwatches are a disaster. Interesting enough the cheapest one performs the Google Android 5.1 but does not tell you the function or usage or installation. In other words, one has to be a mind reader of some kind to be able to understand the rather unsatisfactory and primitive English that does often make no sense at all. Charging the item is as impossible as described in my last complaint. The magnets on the connecting cable are useless and as good as dead and the cable that feeds the USB connection is far too coarse and should be a silicon cable but not a rough kind of wire that may be good for the usage of the standard USB mini or so usage. I can tell you it is a shame that otherwise a well designed and good appearing item is hopelessly bad supported and technical details are inadequate and despairingly bad designed. I will write a sufficient, honest report about my experiences with GearBest and their Smartwatch products on various editorials on the Internet. It is not good to sell products that have no technical research but are nothing else than non-working knockoffs to catch the person purchasing on a cheapskate basis.
Does yours have the vibration motor in it? The first several thousand didn't even have vibration. After enough customer complaints they started putting it in some of them When you get your battery wire reconnected, you might want to check and see if it vibrates. Thanks for your honest report.
thank u sir
I recived my no.1 d6 today. Build quality seems ok. But the battery life it's useless. Also it doesn't have 1 GB of ram, it's 500MB....what a pitty. At least GPS works good, with fast reception and good precission. I'm selling it
Sorry to hear. I just read a post from No.1 Phone to a similar post on another video where they said some of the earlier watches went out with 512MB, but now they are shipping full 1GB units. That was probably part of their early super sale they had to clear first run inventory. If you bought yours recently and paid over $100 for it, you might want to consider asking for a refund or replacement.
I'm excited to hear GPS works good. I haven't tested it yet. Can you tell if it works for you without being on either cellular or WiFi network? Will it track you on off-line maps, for example. That would be really great if it doesn't need network to work.
I installed an offline free gps navigation.
Thanks for the info, Yoyo. When you use the offline gps navigation, does your watch show your position on the map and update when you move around? Which free gps navigation app are you using?
+SmartWatch Ticks Get the free app "Maps.ME" from the play store, it's free offline gps maps with navigation.
@SmartWatch Ticks Why do you keep asking this question? You have the watch does it work offline for you or not? Let us know Please.
If I could do tings over again i would go for the no1 d6 because the finow q1 is rally buggy and if you get a error like bluetooth and wifi not being abbe to turn on. they wont help at all. Even if it happens 2-3 days after you got the watch. I personally find finows quality control lacking based on my q1 related problems. but what surprised me is that "jessie" who is so helpful with information to you actually didnt even respond to the emails i sent her about the problem. And there official aliexpress store where i bought the faulty watch didnt respond either. instead i finaly got some kind of response from the no1 support which is Odd since there a totaly different brand but the hardware in both the q1 and the d6 is completely same. there advice didnt help but still it surprised me since it wasnt their watch i just took a chanse when i emailed their support. but still FINOW=CRAP, NO1=GOOD :D
i saw q1 without heart rate
Why you have everythink on pillow xD
That way they won't fall over. They don't lie flat because of the bands. :)
I like most iMacwear SPARTA M7 Smart Watch.
