** THOR 6 World Launch Buying Link (Banggood): bit.ly/3jxix3o Thanks for using this link to buy! BATTERY TESTING: TEST 1: Starting at 100%, after 1.5 hrs, moderate use, 91%, after total of 4.5 hrs moderate use, 80%, after 7 hrs of moderate and light use, 66%. That’s a drop of 34% total. Now, taking watch off for the evening/night, after 11 hrs total, 49%, after 22 hrs total, 3%, but watch is in emergency super low power mode, and I don’t know for how long. TEST 2: Starting at 100%, after 3 hrs heavy use (including 2 hrs of cycling with GPS tracking), 61%, after total of 9 hrs moderate/heavy use (including 1 more hr of cycling with GPS tracking), 23%, after 2 more hours light use just wearing around house, for a total of 11 hrs, 21%. For the first two tests, one light to moderate, the other moderate to heavy the watch drops from 100% to between 20% and 50% roughly.

After searching the web for good reviews, your channel takes the cake. Thank you so much for all the information on these different options. I will make sure to use your links when I choose which one I want to buy. So far I'm leaning towards the KOSPET PRIME.
Thanks for that size comparison at the end i ordered the prime 2 I have the lemfo lemt and was wondering about the size..i am happy with the prime 2 size..thanks
Yes, of course! After you get the watch, go through the tutorial to set up the assistant on the watch when prompted by Google. If that doesn't happen for you, sign into the Google Play Store and download the Google Assistant directly and set it up that way. Should work smooth and easy for you.
The fifth pin on the watch is used for recognizing if the watch is host or device, which implies this watch should be capable of USB OTG (on the go). That means in theory, the watch basically acts as a computer. So, for example, you can connect to it a USB stick, keyboard, mouse, keycard reader, anything that has USB! For now, I have only seen one other watch that has 5 pins, the LEM 11. Other than that, there don't seem to be many watches that support it, so I hope in the future, there will be more smartwatches with the extra pin.
So you'd need a special adaptor/connector then, I would imagine. Thanks for sharing what it is for, but I'm for a loss in how we would use it. They wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of putting it there if there wasn't intent, so what do you imagine it's going to be promoted to do? Would it be possible it's only on prototype units and may not make it to production ones? It's not there on the Prime 2 prototype.
@@SWT Exactly, they didn't include the 5 pin cable because most likely, the only reason they added the extra pin is so it's easier for them to connect their testing equipment. Or the motherboard they used already supported the function, so they decided to make use of it since it's only one extra cable that costs next to nothing, compared to the rest. For the LEM 11 watch, the fifth pin is necessary to connect the external speaker.
Bought this watch a few weeks ago and I must say it's not what I expected, first , this is definitely not life waterproof, there is a plastic cover at the base where the sim is housted, if any sweat or moisture get inside the watch will b damaged, so I wouldn't recommend use it for running.also there is a function to make the screen square so you can see the whole page without missing the button on the corner since in the round interface there will b some area you cannot access, so say in whatsapp you wouldn't b able to sent message since the sent button is at the corner, using the square screen function allow u to access that button, however you cannot use gesture to magnify the screen, so unless you r very good at reading very tiny letters, u won't b able to see the words, the watch have a lift to wake function, but it buggy, the display tends to come on and off a few times once you lift your hand to see the time, and the watch only shows the time for half a second, so blink and you'll miss the time which makes the function not useful, just some points for people to consider if planning to buy this watch.
Typical I would guess. Depends on how rough you plan to be with it. We have some reviewed that are made to MIL-SPC standards, but they aren't Android watches.
Great question! Although it goes into a charging screen with a green circle and time of day displayed, you can swipe out of that and still use the watch while it is charging. This appears to be true for all Android 10 watches I've tested so far.
Hi sir....sorry for asking.....i just brought mine this month, just 1 problem that i got,why i cant access to the watch face store ..,also the wiiwear apps dosent work cannot register...do u know why?
Haha, I love leaving you guys wondering. Nope, not the MAX S ( bit.ly/32BdWaS ). It's a watch I've wanted to have since I started this channel nearly six years ago, and I'm wearing it whenever I don't have a review watch on my arm. It will be up next! Let's see if you can be first to comment on that one, dan dee!
I am looking to buy a smart watch with an inbuilt camera that I can connect to my iPhone. Can you recommend one please? I want one so I can reply to messages from the phone on the watch.
Thank you for bringing up the two biggest reasons why I have buyers remorse with the Thor 6. (1) No Bluetooth capabilities for making/receiving calls or text. (2) A dead calendar. You can't add or retrieve appointments to/from your phone.
Hi mr ticks! Again thanks again for the rewiew.So i just got the watch and when i put on fitness mode like for an example walking i doesn t show me the route in map.It just stays white.What can i do?
I've just started watching your videos, and they cover by far the most details than any other reviewer. Can you please talk a little but more about the battery life in your future reviews, cause that is often the major factor before buying any wearable device.
Oh, and for the PRIME 2 and THOR 6, I'm doing limited battery testing and posting the results in the first comment under the review video, but this is very rare for me to do.
thank you Mr. Ticks, brilliant reviews, I just discovered you yesterday. Does this watch and / or the Kospet support calls into an earpiece (bluetooth)? Thank you
Ah yes, I see you've just arrived. Common question. As you'll explore more you'll learn all kinds of things here. As for your question, no Android 7 and 10 watches don't support Bluetooth calling, but they can tether to an earpiece for taking calls from the SIM you put in the watch. Here are a few more interesting tidbits: tinyurl.com/OneMinuteSmartwatchTips
@@SWT Thank you so much -- yes I intend to put the sim in the watch and take calls via a bluetooth headset, so it sounds like they will work. Which is good cos I went ahead and bought the PRIME 2. Really excited, your reviews somehow bring back the excitement to gadgets which I used to have :)
Ticks I want a watch so bad I am saving for it but I like the lemfo as you said the ticwris max s I want an Android 10 model like these one if they come out please review at as early as possible thx
Neither. It's an Android smart watch phone, so you can install all your social media apps on the THOR 6 from the Google Play Store, log into your accounts, and use them like on your phone. The watch needs to be connected to the Internet. That can be done by inserting a data capable SIM and using the cellular network like you do with your phone, OR -- and this is what most folks do -- connecting your watch via WiFi. At home or work, just connect to your router. When away from your standard WiFi zones, put your phone in WiFi hotspot and connect your watch THROUGH your phone's unlimited cellular data plan to the Internet. Super simple. Calls to your phone will still come in to your phone even though your cell data is being routed to your watch. You don't use Bluetooth for this at all! WiFi and WiFi hot spotting is way faster than Bluetooth would be anyway.
I'm trying to find a solution for shipments to India. Lots of folks are trying to order from your country. If anyone has had success, please let me know. Thanks.
Can't include it in the reviews because no Android smartwatch has NFC. Only WearOS watches, which are totally different, have NFC. I've got some reviews of the Ticwatch Pro and the Samsung Galaxy line here on smartwatchticks.com and they support NFC.
Zeblaze has worse quality than Kospet according to the user experiences - I never had a Zeblaze watch, but the Kospet Prime is my daily driver since last December. Because of the same hardware you'll get double runtime from the Kospet Prime 2 because of the double capacity battery, plus the Prime 2 has pinch to zoom (= multitouch), a much better camera (which has the quality of a smartphone from like 2014, but it's a lot better than what other full Android smartwatches have). The Thor 6 Pro has a small battery, and if assuming the P22 with Android 10 is less power hungry than the old MTK6739 SoC with Android 7.1, you may get similar runtime like the original Prime had, and this one looks a lot better than the enormous Prime 2 with the rotatable camera (instead of a 2MP front facing camera plus the same IMX214 based camera looking upwards fixed - that way the Prime 2 could have been IP67 water resistant instead of moderately splashproof). So the Prime 2 will have double the runtime with a good camera and a bigger and higher resolution multitouch display. The Thor 6 Pro looks better, much smaller than the Prime 2, and I think it's a bit more water resistant.
Thanks @StormChild. I love that each one is better in one respect or the other, so folks really need to decide what's most important. I'm trying to get you guys some daily driver style battery life by wearing both watches on each arm and using them for common things (no SIM in them though, but twist wrist is on to flash the display regularly along with WiFi but no Bluetooth tethering -- it's the way I wear my Android watches).
My zeblaze 6 locked on me and I can not use the watch. Can you help me. The lock pattern doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Can you help reset the watch?
Love your videos!! Quick question, do any of these full android smart watches offer an SD card for storage? That's the only thing keeping me from buying one. I enjoy having my music collection with me to bluetooth them over the car stereo.
No, but the new ones have 64GB storage and you can wirelessly transfer your library to the watch. Who needs an SD card or floppy disk drive in a watch these days?
@@SWT Thank you for the reply. I have over 100GB of music on my SD card that I frequently access on my phone while on flights or camping in remote locations. One day a smartwatch will have over 128GB or storage, I'll just have to wait.
Well, on your trip to Mars, you could probably load a subset of 60GB from your 100GB collection and still not listen to every song in the 9 months it will take to get there. Another thought with that much music would be to upload it to Google or UA-cam Music and simply stream it when you want (for free if you set it up right), thus keeping your watch free for a dozen or two movies.
Can you please do a video chat app use like what's app ,viber in kospet prime 2,,does it work well..does the video shows straight or upside down on the other side of video conference?? Need your help please to know the answer...
I don't don't always not show it, just that I show it on some but not all these videos over and over. After you watch a few, you'll see the same same keyboard that's on the same same Android watches all the time. I get complaints these videos are too long so I mix it up and show some stuff on some reviews and some on others. It's probably like how they don't show the keyboard on all phone reviews, just some of them. I think the latest review with keyboard mention was probably the Optimus 2 or Prime 2. Might check them.
After I've unboxed all these new Android 10 watches I'll get around to doing a deeper look at them. I think other more techie channels will present the detailed benchmark tests, so you might check further on UA-cam as well.
I'm hearing some of them will support multiple networks, but I'm not sure about the THOR 6. Usually they only work on GSM networks, like AT&T or T-Mobile, but that may be changing. Short answer, I don't know. Good question to ask here: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/zeblaze-thor-6-comes-with-helio-p22-4gb-64gb-android-10-os/58849/10
Hi Mr Ticks, keep up the good work. I was wondering if you could help me. I have a Kospet Hope Lite which I really like, but I find it just a little too big. I mean thickness wise. I'm wondering if you have a recommendation for a replacement watch. I prefer a round bezel, I need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, I like the camera on the side and gps. I don't need the sim card option. Is there anything out there that is thinner than 17.5 mm. Thanks everyone in advance.
We are still waiting for a thin Android watch while we see them all competing for largest battery award. Once that is over and folks start choosing thinner over bigger, we may see some watches of a more reasonable thickness, but it's going to be awhile yet.
You can receive notifications, but you can only respond if you install special 3rd party apps on both the watch and phone. You cannot answer or place phone calls via Bluetooth to your phone. You need a separate SIM for that.
Great video and thanks for the info, I've just bought a Thor 6 and like you found out that the camera is only 1.5 instead of the advertised 5mp, bit naughty of them and misleading, so I emailed them and asked why.. this is there response "We are very sorry, this problem was caused by an error in our test. The THOR 6 watch camera is 2.0PM, not 5.0PM. We will change the wrong ad as soon as possible" theyve still got it wrong, now saying it's a 2mp camera?
Yea, all the companies appear to be skating a bit on camera resolution like they do with the IP67/IP68 waterproof ratings when they really mean something like IP65 at best. If there were another source from another country that didn't cost three times as much, they would have serious competition, but there isn't. So the only thing we can do is inform each other of the 'truth', which is what you are doing, and is greatly appreciated, Mike.
Can i get this smartwatch in India as the delivery to India is suspended from China. Banggood, gearbest, ali express cannot ship to India. I have used Zeblaze thor 4 in the past, directly ordered from Banggood but cant anymore.
I do that from time to time, but not on every watch. When they use the same modules and software, I tend to do a deep dive on one of them. Check out the comparison videos with the Thor 6 as one of them for more cross comparisons.
Great review. Would like to know if this device displays app widgets similar to Samsung watches? I would like to add that this watch would be great to use outside of the USA Network as globally, the majority standard used is GSM. I specifically bought my Note 9 direct from the Manufacturer unlocked specifically to use the native country's SIM cards.
You can put 3rd party launchers on it to get widget support, like Nova launcher.

Hello! Im looking for a smartwatch to replace my cellphone. I'd like it to have 4G, good hardware specs, GPS, heart rate monitor and very important be waterproof at least a couple of meters. I was looking into the Thor 6 but it isnt waterproof. What would you suggest? Thanks and I love your channel!
Hi. This watch is sold-out. So I found it on alibaba, but, they say it doesn't work with a Samsung phone. I can not find any info on this . Anyone happen to know? Thank you 😊
Can you mention a smartwatch that under 170$ that has all the health tracking sensor, bluetooth call features/simcard 4G capabilities with/without android compatible with iphone.
I doubt you'll find a single watch with all those features, but you can check these: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vWfrpYV3AZRSKCBDXxoU8yi.html or these: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vUrOmmcw8236SSwn6leBNJG.html or these: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vXkXWLguX0WPFgEDbpIbt2u.html or these: ua-cam.com/play/PLGZLicZ6A2vXBqaqdhcx4KodhglwbhBEs.html
I just got mine recently and I'm excited to use it! However, I'm having trouble with entering my APN settings for the SIM I just put in. It doesn't give you the option. I thought it wasn't showing bc of the circular screen, so I switched to square, but it wasn't there as well. I restarted the watch and even tried to change the screen size to see if the option would appear (in case it was out of view in the stock setting). No luck to either. I really appreciate your in-depth videos and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
Well, you shouldn't need to input the APN if you're using a carrier on the GSM network, like AT&T or T-Mobile. It should select it internally automatically, especially for a newer watch like the THOR 6. If you do want to mess with it, check under Settings and Network & internet. From there go to Mobile network, and then Access Point Names. It's way different on Android 10 than it was on Android 7 watches.
@@SWT Wow quick reply! Thank you! So since I'm using an MVNO (under AT&T), I have to create a new APN and save that for the SIM to work. (I do this for other phones & smartwatches as well, and it works great) I found exactly where to input, as usual, however, the option to input my own settings (even after de-selecting "automatically select network") does not show. It automatically selects AT&T, but doesn't let you edit that (it's grayed out) or add a new APN, like on other phones/watches. I'm stumped. What do you think? 🤔
Something similar is being discussed over here for the PRIME 2 (also Android 10) and I think they have determined you can't edit the APN for the SIM you have in the watch (really stupid) but you can edit other APNs, so one guy put in a different SIM to edit the APN he actually needed. At least that's what I think they said. Better if you follow that thread directly for accuracy: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/kospet-prime-2-official-support/58553/572
I got the watch for two weeks, works well, but I’m not a heavy user. I’m using it as a replacement, when I don’ t want to carry on my mobile. Unfortunatelly it is rare, as the phone still my ‘workplace’. But when I go out with the watch, the 4G network and calling are the most important things for me. What I wanted to know, where can I find in the menu the 4G network setting connected to the SIM card? Pin change, call liner identification... etc. It looks these settings are completely missing from the menu. Could you please create a dedicated video for the 4G network capability of these 4G android watches?
The best you can do is modify the APN settings, and you'll find that option in Settings, Connection, Cellular. Remember, your carrier needs to be using the GSM network. These watches aren't universal like phones, so Verizon, Sprint, and other CDMA carriers won't work. Just FYI before you waste a bunch of time on it.
Sir it's very difficult to purchase these zblaze thor 4 pro watch in india I ordered kospet prime se last year in aliexpress but till now I can not recived it Plz what to do sir ?
Does this watch allow discreet video recording? I cycle in UK, want the option of being able to discreetly record any road rage drivers without them seeing I'm recording them and getting violent.
There are apps that you can install that allow video recording in the background. I've covered them in other videos. One point, though, this watch has a side facing camera, so in recording road rage drivers, you need to turn your arm in a way that points the camera toward the rage drivers, and that might be obvious. The best watch (which isn't available anymore) for twisting your wrist discreetly and recording what's in front of you, was the Kronos Blade Genesis. The newest Kospet PRIME 2 can do it as well with a rotating camera head ( ua-cam.com/video/Vtq0kj0Qyms/v-deo.html ), but this THOR 6 won't be able to do what you want discreetly.
It's not done through an app, unless you are designing your own. It's done by dropping watch face folders into a special 'clock skin' folder on your watch. Head on over here for more detailed guidance: www.fullandroidwatch.org I also have a bunch of videos about watch faces on this channel.

Did you try it with 4G connectivity? Suppose it will last much less.
I was impressed with the features but after reading this especially about the battery, I suddenly hesitated. Battery is a big factor I think.
I was going to buy it but after battery tests i would say my bw hl3 is much better in battery aspect!!
Could be that the fifth pin on top is only a magnet to strengthen the cable attachment
Another great review as always Mr Ticks! Great enthusiasm 😁
But last minutes are really greats... Faces! 😉

Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate you taking time to report.
Tq dude. Almost bought it
I bought the thor 5 pro last year..now the battery last just an hour ..have tries to get it replaced but havent been successful for the past 4months
As usual excellent review. Would love to see comparison with the Lemfo LEM 12 Pro.
Coming soon!
Love your videos. Thank you for doing them.

Comparison about kospet prime 2 and zeblace thor 6
Perhaps I'll do a comparison of all the Android 10 watches after I've reviewed each one separately.
What about Water resistance??
Typical I would guess. Depends on how rough you plan to be with it. We have some reviewed that are made to MIL-SPC standards, but they aren't Android watches.
Wich one the best camera quality ?
Kospet Prime 2 and Lokmat APPLLP MAX
Wow that camera looked great
Bro I am from India link not deliverable to India I want to buy. It any alternative
I don't know of any. Anybody from India know of an alternative?
"Were on android 5! 7! 10! Wakeup!" Made me lol 😆
It was hard to dream of this world 5 years ago when all there was was Android 4.4.
Yes! Technology has come leaps and bounds! Could only imagine what will be in another 5 years! Keep up the good work Mr Ticks 👍
Can I buy that Zeblaze Thor 6 from you? I've been looking for it online but I cant find it.
can you use a battery pack and charge the watch while it is still on the wrist? is phone still usable while charging ?
Great question! Although it goes into a charging screen with a green circle and time of day displayed, you can swipe out of that and still use the watch while it is charging. This appears to be true for all Android 10 watches I've tested so far.
Hi sir....sorry for asking.....i just brought mine this month, just 1 problem that i got,why i cant access to the watch face store ..,also the wiiwear apps dosent work cannot register...do u know why?
was 35:50 the ticwris max s? since thats v7

I got this watch!! Ty!!
What is the price of this watch
I am looking to buy a smart watch with an inbuilt camera that I can connect to my iPhone. Can you recommend one please? I want one so I can reply to messages from the phone on the watch.
Thank you for bringing up the two biggest reasons why I have buyers remorse with the Thor 6.
(1) No Bluetooth capabilities for making/receiving calls or text.
(2) A dead calendar. You can't add or retrieve appointments to/from your phone.
Does This Watch Have Android Market ?
Does This Watch Work With Facer App For Watch Facez
Thank you for doing this rewiew. I like the specs and the look of this watch so i ordered it imediantly.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Hi mr ticks! Again thanks again for the rewiew.So i just got the watch and when i put on fitness mode like for an example walking i doesn t show me the route in map.It just stays white.What can i do?
thank you nice review
My pleasure.
What's the ipxx ? Can use underwater?
These are all "life waterproof" which means light splashes but don't put them in water.
this watch works only with sim card or you can also use it connected to the mobile phone with bluetooth?
Only with SIM card.
is the thor 6 worth it to pay a lot more then thor 5 pro?
The features are different, so it's worth it if you need those features. I'd suggest you compare the two review videos together to help you decide.
One more excellent review
Thank you
My pleasure! Glad you liked it.
does it have NFC? for Google pay
Sorry, no NFC in Android watches yet.
@@SWT how about ticwatch pro i heard they got nfc for google pay
I've just started watching your videos, and they cover by far the most details than any other reviewer. Can you please talk a little but more about the battery life in your future reviews, cause that is often the major factor before buying any wearable device.
As you keep watching, Pranay, you'll learn why I don't review battery life for these watches. Thanks for watching everything else!
Oh, and for the PRIME 2 and THOR 6, I'm doing limited battery testing and posting the results in the first comment under the review video, but this is very rare for me to do.
What would you recommend Zeblaze Thor 6 or Kospet Prime 2? 🙂
Prime 2 by far.
@@SWT Cool thanks 😊
Why do you like Prime 2 over Zeblaze Thor 6?
I love to know 🙂👍🏻
Prime 2 specs are amazing but the watch is comically huge.
Can you show us how to change the layout from round to square and back again?
Is it have oximeter spo2 feature?
No, the Android watches don't do much more than heart rate.
could you put the design of the captain future watch please
Not sure what you mean Rodrigo.
thank you Mr. Ticks, brilliant reviews, I just discovered you yesterday. Does this watch and / or the Kospet support calls into an earpiece (bluetooth)? Thank you
Ah yes, I see you've just arrived. Common question. As you'll explore more you'll learn all kinds of things here. As for your question, no Android 7 and 10 watches don't support Bluetooth calling, but they can tether to an earpiece for taking calls from the SIM you put in the watch. Here are a few more interesting tidbits: tinyurl.com/OneMinuteSmartwatchTips
@@SWT Thank you so much -- yes I intend to put the sim in the watch and take calls via a bluetooth headset, so it sounds like they will work. Which is good cos I went ahead and bought the PRIME 2. Really excited, your reviews somehow bring back the excitement to gadgets which I used to have :)
What is the new watch what is unique is it like the lemfo which you showed
Check out the next review as it might be something you will like.
Ticks I want a watch so bad I am saving for it but I like the lemfo as you said the ticwris max s I want an Android 10 model like these one if they come out please review at as early as possible thx
Hi
Can I use wattsapp and all social media apps just with pairing the watch to my phone via Bluetooth or I need a sim card?
Neither. It's an Android smart watch phone, so you can install all your social media apps on the THOR 6 from the Google Play Store, log into your accounts, and use them like on your phone. The watch needs to be connected to the Internet. That can be done by inserting a data capable SIM and using the cellular network like you do with your phone, OR -- and this is what most folks do -- connecting your watch via WiFi. At home or work, just connect to your router. When away from your standard WiFi zones, put your phone in WiFi hotspot and connect your watch THROUGH your phone's unlimited cellular data plan to the Internet. Super simple. Calls to your phone will still come in to your phone even though your cell data is being routed to your watch. You don't use Bluetooth for this at all! WiFi and WiFi hot spotting is way faster than Bluetooth would be anyway.
@@SWT thank you for the quick response
Last question can I use wattsapp on the watch with the same number as the phone?
Does it have NFC?
No, none of these Android smartwatches support NFC.
Great watch, but I don't think they ship to India.. So any website available who ships to India? Pls let me know
I'm trying to find a solution for shipments to India. Lots of folks are trying to order from your country. If anyone has had success, please let me know. Thanks.
Random question: Can you actually use any watch band with this? Like if I decided I wanted a leather one, could I attach this with one?
As long as the bands are removable with the quick disconnect pins or standard watch band pins, then yes, totally changeable.
Is UA-cam Music available in the Play Store on the watch?
Absolutely and works great when you're connected via WiFi especially.
@@SWT We will be able to download music?
What I wanna know is is the thor 6 or the lem14 or the lemT capable of running the gopro app.
Sorry, I haven't tested gopro on any Android watches. Anybody know for sure?
does it have NFC for payment? can you include this in your review in the future, please? Thanks
Can't include it in the reviews because no Android smartwatch has NFC. Only WearOS watches, which are totally different, have NFC. I've got some reviews of the Ticwatch Pro and the Samsung Galaxy line here on smartwatchticks.com and they support NFC.
@@SWT Got it. Many thanks
hey Mr. tics can you provide the link to your resource folder
Sure. tinyurl.com/androidwatches
Which is better 1.39 or 1.6 ?? Which have better display
1.39 inch AMOLED screens are better.
Prime 2 or thor 6 ? I concern for the battery life most
Zeblaze has worse quality than Kospet according to the user experiences - I never had a Zeblaze watch, but the Kospet Prime is my daily driver since last December.
Because of the same hardware you'll get double runtime from the Kospet Prime 2 because of the double capacity battery, plus the Prime 2 has pinch to zoom (= multitouch), a much better camera (which has the quality of a smartphone from like 2014, but it's a lot better than what other full Android smartwatches have).
The Thor 6 Pro has a small battery, and if assuming the P22 with Android 10 is less power hungry than the old MTK6739 SoC with Android 7.1, you may get similar runtime like the original Prime had, and this one looks a lot better than the enormous Prime 2 with the rotatable camera (instead of a 2MP front facing camera plus the same IMX214 based camera looking upwards fixed - that way the Prime 2 could have been IP67 water resistant instead of moderately splashproof).
So the Prime 2 will have double the runtime with a good camera and a bigger and higher resolution multitouch display.
The Thor 6 Pro looks better, much smaller than the Prime 2, and I think it's a bit more water resistant.
@@StormChild thanks my friend !i will go with battery life!
Thanks @StormChild. I love that each one is better in one respect or the other, so folks really need to decide what's most important. I'm trying to get you guys some daily driver style battery life by wearing both watches on each arm and using them for common things (no SIM in them though, but twist wrist is on to flash the display regularly along with WiFi but no Bluetooth tethering -- it's the way I wear my Android watches).
is this waterproof?
My zeblaze 6 locked on me and I can not use the watch. Can you help me. The lock pattern doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Can you help reset the watch?
Zeblaze Vibe 6 please!!!
Vibe 6! I'm overwhelmed already with the Thor 6! I'll have a look. Seems they're popping out as fast as a hot bag of popcorn on the stove these days.
Love your videos!! Quick question, do any of these full android smart watches offer an SD card for storage? That's the only thing keeping me from buying one. I enjoy having my music collection with me to bluetooth them over the car stereo.
No, but the new ones have 64GB storage and you can wirelessly transfer your library to the watch. Who needs an SD card or floppy disk drive in a watch these days?
@@SWT Thank you for the reply. I have over 100GB of music on my SD card that I frequently access on my phone while on flights or camping in remote locations. One day a smartwatch will have over 128GB or storage, I'll just have to wait.
Well, on your trip to Mars, you could probably load a subset of 60GB from your 100GB collection and still not listen to every song in the 9 months it will take to get there. Another thought with that much music would be to upload it to Google or UA-cam Music and simply stream it when you want (for free if you set it up right), thus keeping your watch free for a dozen or two movies.
Good evening, I have a problem with my zeblaze thor 6 it fell to the ground as a result its screen is open and I can't close it, can you help me
I want to buy a watch. Please tell me what suits me these watches in terms of battery and daily use
The best battery, Nader, will be in a big watch, so I suggest the PRIME 2 if you like round or the Ticwris MAX if you like square.
Can you please do a video chat app use like what's app ,viber in kospet prime 2,,does it work well..does the video shows straight or upside down on the other side of video conference?? Need your help please to know the answer...
I tested it with the app Duo and it works just fine.
Does this have always on display feature?
Nope. The THOR 5 had that feature.
How about if you have iPhone is it going to work?
Yes, but some functions are limited due to Apple.
How much price
Check description. Prices are changing now with Black Friday/Cyber Monday here.
Please do you think this product is a IP67 waterproof? Tks
No, I wouldn't risk getting it wet, personally.
why are you always don't show the keyboard of the watch?
(probably it is too small to use ...?)
I don't don't always not show it, just that I show it on some but not all these videos over and over. After you watch a few, you'll see the same same keyboard that's on the same same Android watches all the time. I get complaints these videos are too long so I mix it up and show some stuff on some reviews and some on others. It's probably like how they don't show the keyboard on all phone reviews, just some of them. I think the latest review with keyboard mention was probably the Optimus 2 or Prime 2. Might check them.
@@SWT I guss you are right. thank you, your videos are very helpful!
Kindly post its gpu performance .... Benchmark tests pls
After I've unboxed all these new Android 10 watches I'll get around to doing a deeper look at them. I think other more techie channels will present the detailed benchmark tests, so you might check further on UA-cam as well.
I use verizon can I still get the watch?
I'm hearing some of them will support multiple networks, but I'm not sure about the THOR 6. Usually they only work on GSM networks, like AT&T or T-Mobile, but that may be changing. Short answer, I don't know. Good question to ask here: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/zeblaze-thor-6-comes-with-helio-p22-4gb-64gb-android-10-os/58849/10
Not waterproof like Rogbid Brave?
Nope, sadly, not waterproof like the Brave or S08.
Hello sir it supports indian sim card
Sorry, I don't know. The carrier would need to be on the GSM network to support these watches.
please how long is the battery lasting? tsk
Check the first comment under this video.
@@SWT tks. In both tests you had the 4g active?
where can i download more watch faces?

Hi Mr Ticks, keep up the good work. I was wondering if you could help me. I have a Kospet Hope Lite which I really like, but I find it just a little too big. I mean thickness wise. I'm wondering if you have a recommendation for a replacement watch. I prefer a round bezel, I need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, I like the camera on the side and gps. I don't need the sim card option. Is there anything out there that is thinner than 17.5 mm. Thanks everyone in advance.
We are still waiting for a thin Android watch while we see them all competing for largest battery award. Once that is over and folks start choosing thinner over bigger, we may see some watches of a more reasonable thickness, but it's going to be awhile yet.
Thanks for your time
I want to buy this watch but not deliver in india.can you help me
No I can't help with delivery of watches, only review of watches.
If I connect it by BLUETOOTH to me PHONE I'll be able to RECIVE notifications and RESPOND to them??
You can receive notifications, but you can only respond if you install special 3rd party apps on both the watch and phone. You cannot answer or place phone calls via Bluetooth to your phone. You need a separate SIM for that.
Great video and thanks for the info, I've just bought a Thor 6 and like you found out that the camera is only 1.5 instead of the advertised 5mp, bit naughty of them and misleading, so I emailed them and asked why.. this is there response "We are very sorry, this problem was caused by an error in our test. The THOR 6 watch camera is 2.0PM, not 5.0PM. We will change the wrong ad as soon as possible" theyve still got it wrong, now saying it's a 2mp camera?
Yea, all the companies appear to be skating a bit on camera resolution like they do with the IP67/IP68 waterproof ratings when they really mean something like IP65 at best. If there were another source from another country that didn't cost three times as much, they would have serious competition, but there isn't. So the only thing we can do is inform each other of the 'truth', which is what you are doing, and is greatly appreciated, Mike.
is this watch water resistant?
Nope, no rating so not waterproof/resistant.
@@SWT I thought it had a IP67 rating??
Tethering app is Wiiwear or Wiiwatch2??
Wiiwatch2 on all these Android watches.
@@SWT In the video you say, "Wiiwear"
I have a dual sim , same number on both sims on all of the european networks , makes life easy and solves the no bluetooth calling
Yes, that's good in Europe. In USA T-Mobile has something called 'digits' which does the same thing.
Can i get this smartwatch in India as the delivery to India is suspended from China. Banggood, gearbest, ali express cannot ship to India. I have used Zeblaze thor 4 in the past, directly ordered from Banggood but cant anymore.
Hopefully things will change in the future. Until then, enjoy learning about all the new watches!
when lem12 pro review and comparison with thor6? XD
Once I get the LEM12 PRO here for review. Still a couple of weeks away.
@@SWT =(
Please can it run Strava app using the integrated GPS?
I haven't tested 3rd party apps as to compatibility with the GPS, heart rate, or step pedometer.
Do a much deeper review on the camera
I do that from time to time, but not on every watch. When they use the same modules and software, I tend to do a deep dive on one of them. Check out the comparison videos with the Thor 6 as one of them for more cross comparisons.
Great review. Would like to know if this device displays app widgets similar to Samsung watches? I would like to add that this watch would be great to use outside of the USA Network as globally, the majority standard used is GSM. I specifically bought my Note 9 direct from the Manufacturer unlocked specifically to use the native country's SIM cards.
You can put 3rd party launchers on it to get widget support, like Nova launcher. Here's some to try:

Hello! Im looking for a smartwatch to replace my cellphone. I'd like it to have 4G, good hardware specs, GPS, heart rate monitor and very important be waterproof at least a couple of meters. I was looking into the Thor 6 but it isnt waterproof. What would you suggest? Thanks and I love your channel!
The only waterproof ones are the Rollme S08 and the Rorbid Brave. Reviews are up for both of them.
Thanks!!!
Is there Playstore,Google assistant and NFC ???
Or blood pressure measurement???

Only heart rate, no BP or SpO2.
Hi India! Thanks for watching.
@@SWT It's my pleasure, really appreciated 👍!
Hi. This watch is sold-out. So I found it on alibaba, but, they say it doesn't work with a Samsung phone. I can not find any info on this . Anyone happen to know? Thank you 😊

I just got mine recently and I'm excited to use it! However, I'm having trouble with entering my APN settings for the SIM I just put in. It doesn't give you the option. I thought it wasn't showing bc of the circular screen, so I switched to square, but it wasn't there as well. I restarted the watch and even tried to change the screen size to see if the option would appear (in case it was out of view in the stock setting). No luck to either. I really appreciate your in-depth videos and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
Well, you shouldn't need to input the APN if you're using a carrier on the GSM network, like AT&T or T-Mobile. It should select it internally automatically, especially for a newer watch like the THOR 6. If you do want to mess with it, check under Settings and Network & internet. From there go to Mobile network, and then Access Point Names. It's way different on Android 10 than it was on Android 7 watches.
@@SWT Wow quick reply! Thank you! So since I'm using an MVNO (under AT&T), I have to create a new APN and save that for the SIM to work. (I do this for other phones & smartwatches as well, and it works great) I found exactly where to input, as usual, however, the option to input my own settings (even after de-selecting "automatically select network") does not show. It automatically selects AT&T, but doesn't let you edit that (it's grayed out) or add a new APN, like on other phones/watches. I'm stumped. What do you think? 🤔
Something similar is being discussed over here for the PRIME 2 (also Android 10) and I think they have determined you can't edit the APN for the SIM you have in the watch (really stupid) but you can edit other APNs, so one guy put in a different SIM to edit the APN he actually needed. At least that's what I think they said. Better if you follow that thread directly for accuracy: discourse.fullandroidwatch.org/t/kospet-prime-2-official-support/58553/572
@@SWT Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I'll check out. 👍
How I will get it in india Mumbai please deliver in Mumbai please
I do not know. I only review them, not sell or ship them. Sorry. Anybody know?
same platic ish case as on the other zeblaze that cracks easy what a shame .
I think it's been upgraded to ceramic for the folded antennas inside the watch body.
I got the watch for two weeks, works well, but I’m not a heavy user. I’m using it as a replacement, when I don’ t want to carry on my mobile. Unfortunatelly it is rare, as the phone still my ‘workplace’. But when I go out with the watch, the 4G network and calling are the most important things for me. What I wanted to know, where can I find in the menu the 4G network setting connected to the SIM card? Pin change, call liner identification... etc. It looks these settings are completely missing from the menu. Could you please create a dedicated video for the 4G network capability of these 4G android watches?
The best you can do is modify the APN settings, and you'll find that option in Settings, Connection, Cellular. Remember, your carrier needs to be using the GSM network. These watches aren't universal like phones, so Verizon, Sprint, and other CDMA carriers won't work. Just FYI before you waste a bunch of time on it.
I like this better than kospet prime 2... because this smaller and the body like ordinary sporty watch
Thanks for your feedback.
I like the last part and camera part
Thanks for watching to the end!

Waterproof or Water resistant?
No, so far only the S08 and Rogbid Brave claim actual underwater capable waterproofing.
Does this watch allow discreet video recording? I cycle in UK, want the option of being able to discreetly record any road rage drivers without them seeing I'm recording them and getting violent.
There are apps that you can install that allow video recording in the background. I've covered them in other videos. One point, though, this watch has a side facing camera, so in recording road rage drivers, you need to turn your arm in a way that points the camera toward the rage drivers, and that might be obvious. The best watch (which isn't available anymore) for twisting your wrist discreetly and recording what's in front of you, was the Kronos Blade Genesis. The newest Kospet PRIME 2 can do it as well with a rotating camera head ( ua-cam.com/video/Vtq0kj0Qyms/v-deo.html ), but this THOR 6 won't be able to do what you want discreetly.
I would get this in a minute if it looked as premium as the huwai pro..
Well, perhaps the next one if they work on the design. Got the LEMFO LEM12 PRO coming up soon as another Android 10 alternative: bit.ly/3ollyYb
@@SWT
Thanks for the link. I currently own a LENFO watch, and I love it. Bought on your review. Ill look at this one
Does anybody know of an app that you can get to get alternative watch faces for the thor6
It's not done through an app, unless you are designing your own. It's done by dropping watch face folders into a special 'clock skin' folder on your watch. Head on over here for more detailed guidance: www.fullandroidwatch.org I also have a bunch of videos about watch faces on this channel.
