Has a lot of good features, but is it really a smartwatch? And does it offer anything special and exciting? Make sure to watch the whole video for more details. And let me know what you think of the Haylou Solar in the comments below.

I've seen at least 5 reviews of this, and that's the first one, that gives actual information about functionality! Keep up the good job!
in all reviews almost everybody say - its just sport tracker in shape of watch, big mi band, he same func., no serious difference , so what this guy says unique ?) only difference he didnt like them too much ) but information everywhere the same
@@АндрейСмирнов-ф1в3м No other review mentioned that the HR monitor is off by a lot when hearth rate is high, which is a problem with many cheap trackers. Also no other review I've seen mentions the relatively crappy app and the lack of smart unlock.
Awesome, thank you!
A review given from the heart and telling about pros and cons which youtubers don't use to tell.. congratulations i am your new subscriber..
Welcome aboard!
I ordered this watch because it looks good and cheap. I chose this instead of other devices because it's round instead of some square shaped with rounded corners but has a square display with sharp corners or some watches that have extra large borders. As a potato I don't really care about the features as long as there's Time, music control and notification.
Same
I love this comment lol. Had to search for it again. I bought this online and can't wait to play with it. 😊
@@CarloAriedo had to order again cause mine was supposed to be delivered yesterday but the delivery guy decided no and returned it 10mins after it was out for delivery.
@@Morax_with-no-mora Bummer... 😣 But still, all the best fellow potato. Hope we get our watches soon. 😊
@@CarloAriedo let me know what you think. I'm also interested. I mostly care about the same thing, notification, music control and the overall look with the whole circular screen instead of a square in a circular watch. It would also be nice if I could swim or shower with it. Don't test it though, I don't want you to risk your watch 😂😂
How are the screen viewing angles? That's the only thing that's keeping me from buying this instead of ordering the mi band 5. I only need a fitness tracker/basic watch but I don't like the small screens of the bands too much.
When it comes to viewing angles I've seen TFT panels that are unwatchable if you tilt the screen even a little and I've seen some that looked so good if you told me it was an IPS panel I would believe it.
Yeah, this one is really good TFT panel. Angles were fine - it didn't feel any worse than most watches tested.
Does it have an alarm?
Yes,
I was going to pull the trigger on this one over the mi band 5 but it is only water resistant while the mi band is waterproof up to 50m.
Yeah, good catch. I think the Mi Band is the better choice.
Thanks for your thoughts and scrutiny. A good and balanced review. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
What would you suggest between this watch and the mi band 5?
Mi Band 5 😃
@@TechMishka great I've already placed my order
What was the last 2 smart watch you were playing with?
Amazfit GTR and Honor Magicwatch 2.
Thanks Michael! Take care of yourself! Looking forward to more videos. I shared some of them on reddit.
Much appreciated!
I brought it (30$). It's heart rate sensor , pedometeor and sleep tracking isn't accurate like a premium smartwatch/band ?
True that!
@@TechMishka 🤔🥺😤 my little sister's recommend that, I always wanted to buy a band.Whatever!
Does you app track distance during sports?? Mine doesn't.
It should be able to track it if the app has access to the phone's GPS.
@@TechMishka it does but doesn't track my location...
Im using it for only amonth and the button is not working already. Sad
Oh, that's really annoying...
How can we add new Faces to Solar watch is there any hack bcoz....Solar very poor watch face ...its a big disappointment
Not that I am aware of any such hacks...
Should i but Haylou solar or haylou ls01 ??
I am 15 years old and want it for school
Get the Mi Band 4 or 5 😊
@Tech4All Ok thnx 👍👍
hi sir this watch got speaker?
Nope.
Man! that intro music is "poppin"! Another good review👌 Sir, Thank You X2 👍👈
Much appreciated
I bought in the US. It's a nice looking watch, but limited data interaction. The most helpful thing this watch is great for so far is the find my phone. I had another Chinese knockoff and that didn't even work right.
Thanks for sharing!
hi. friend . how you installed english language on watch? i got them and have only chinese
pls say, what region is in your phone and which is language of system? i tried change to USA/eng but still have chinese on watch
For now you can't change the language you either get the Chinese version which is cheaper around (21 USD) with the rom you described. Or you opt for the Global version(English Language only) which is reviewed in this video and this is priced currently around (32 USD) with discount coupons + without shipping cost. To get the global version buy it from AliExpress. I just ordered the global version from there with the price I just mentioned.
Thanks for the detailed answer, Rashad.
@@xrashadx hi at chinese version you manage to see english text in your watch?
@@kooler6699 Hi, yes you can see English text but not the full text. If you still didn't purchase the watch I would recommend opting for another. So far there are no watch faces or a way to install any for that matter, no software updates what so ever since I got it. It's better getting a xiaomi watch at least you will get better support. If you don't care about software updates, then the watch is fine.
Does it support always on display?
No, it unfortunately doesn't.
How I have to activate the sleep tracking? (Haylou solar)
Just wear it over night and keep HR tracking on.
I. SHOULD. HAVE. WAITED...! 😣 Early adopting sucks this time - hope firmware updates will add some functionality (direct access to notifications, watchfaces, german localization etc.)
Thanks for this enlightening video - wish I had the information a week earlier 😖
Could be that it soon gets decent updates 🙃
i canot update weather data in app haylou fit. you can help me .
Can you listen Music with them with iPhone?
Make sure location services are enabled and you have granted the permissions to the app.
How is the outdoor visibility?
It is ... fine.
Is this watch have vibrate to notify calls
Yes, vibration is supported.
My stratos died out on me yesterday after just over a year.. so thinking of getting this one to replace it.. if there's one thing i learn from my experience with stratos, i wont spend more than 50usd for a fitness watch anymore
How about the Amazfit Bip S?
@@TechMishka I actually using my wife's amazfit bip for now as she got on of them samsung band.. is Bip S better than Solar? been using the Bip for almost a month now.. it's ok just that i feel it's rather "small" for wrist
Funny how this elegant smartwatch only costs $30 in my country, officially sold by Haylou.
Sounds like the price goes down! Pretty nice.
@@TechMishka in my country it's 18euro, still not recommend it?
I wanna ask that what does the arrow the green and red one at the thumbnail means? I also have it in Mi Band 5 and I got confused. Please tell me.
Seems to be highest and lowest rate for the day.
can you give me recommendations of cheap smartwatches under/about 100$€ that does navigation, (preferably no 3g/4g/5g on smartphone)?
You may look into Android-based smartwatches;
Can you change Music with them with iPhone?
Not sure about that...
Iam using amazfit gtr, 47mm aluminium body.
It's can last 20 days in a single charge.
5atm water resistant.
Fantastic achievements! Guess you are not using always-ON, which brings the battery life down to around a week - but that still is a great option.
@@TechMishka , yes I did that , gps not always on and use the right(minimalist) face watch.
I want to buy this smartwatch because my budget is tight and I don't really like smartbands. Plus I only need it for sports like running, walks, cycling and sometimes everyday use.
The biggest drawback is lack of water resistance, and I also wonder if it's going to get more watch bands. I would like different colors, and maybe metal and leather.
Though if it's not available in official stores and only in aliexpress, I'll then have to consider between the Amazfit GTR or the Huawei Sport, or other watches cheaper than 150€
The Amazfit GTR is quite affordable these days. You can take a look at the Amazfit Bip S - a review will appear soon on the channel.
The ticwatch e is cheap if you want app support
Solar panel on smartwatch? do you want it to weigh a kilo?
The Garmin Fenix 6 has such an option and is definitely less than a Kilo.
Is it better than a gShock
Nope.
i still dont understand how whatsapp notification work on this watch...sometimes same message keep appearing even after delete
The charm of software issues.
This review made me realise that this "smartwatch" is not worth it, thank you! Not only does it cover almost all of the important aspect to consider when buying this, it also brings out alot of it's cons and problem, basically saying it just looks good, but is even less reliable than the mi band 4, just a hollow schönen shell.
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I would trust the Mi Band much more
8 months later cloud back up,,smart unlock Nd watch faces and sleeping cycles been superb update it Nd use it for a week,,and 15 days battery works,then give a review after actually using it
SOunds great!
You are absolutely out of your mind. How do you want them to do such a watch for $20? Furthermore, it's really about $35 at most, not 40. You go find me a good round display for a similar price and then we can talk. You are comparing apples to oranges, a $35 watch against a $150 one.
Having tested a lot of cheap smartwatches, I can think of a number of models that are similar to this one, cheaper and better looking;
By the time the review was made the watch was $40. And the Mi Band 4 has way more features, AMOLED screen and proper smartphone app.
Once this watch becomes $30 - it would be something to consider. But at $40 it is too expensive.
@@TechMishka I've had a mi band for a long time. It's cool but the design of a round smartwacht looks 10x better. You add that to the fact that they have practically the same functions makes me think that the haylou solar is a better choice than the MI band if you're also looking for something that looks great.
@@TechMishka you can get haylou solar as low as $25 now.
well-reviewed! 😁
Thanks mate! Been a while without a smartwatch test, and this one seemed to be interesting 🥳
This or honor band 5 or mi band 4
Mi Band 5? 😊
Vibration sensor b hai ?
vibration is at a good level, yeah.
Thanks for critical info. Looking into getting this or Mi Band 5 instead.
Same here! 🥳🥳🥳
Hi...
I bouth the Lemfo SG2, and I notice that the vibration (during notifications) is so smooth that I miss every notification (lol).
Do you know if the vibration of LS05 is stronger than SG2?
Hello Andre, Lemfo SG2 design is so good, How many days does the battery last? Is there any problem you faced? :)
I don't think the vibration here is better than the Lemfo. This one is just average.
@@raghu1717 Hi, I'm not really sure about the battery, because we're in lockdown, so my wife doesn't use the SG2 often.
And it's very small (I believe it hasn't even 40mm, but it's too close of it).
Can you change Music with them with iPhone?
I am more concerned about the reliability as durability of this device. Can you tell us whether this watch comes with a warranty or not ?
If you order from Aliexpress - comes with the standard Aliexpress warranty.
Well let's see what the mi band 5 will bring.
Also very curious to see that
Does it has GPS?
The answer is in the video
It doesn't.
Really good looking watch and good price. But as of now has some serious issues (probably most can be solved by software updates) as given below;
HAYLOU FIT ANDROID ISSUES
. App drains battery bit fast.
. The weather temperature is not updating automatically. It should update weather information at least every hour or so.
HAYLOU SOLAR LS05 ISSUES
. Raise/twist hand screen activation is very sensitive. It keeps turning on the screen frequently.
. The weather/temperature on the watch is not showing realtime info and not updating periodically. It should get updated at least every hour.
. BT range seems too short, watch keeps disconnecting in next room.
. Number of notifications that seen under “Notice” is very limited about 7 in total. When new notification msg received, last one overwritten. 7 is too low, should be at least 10.
. Notification message max length is short about 75 characters (spaces included) total. It’s good to have at least 100 characters/letters.
. It seems like watch doesn’t have any screen protection at all? It’s a deal breaker for many potential customers. It’s a good idea, as a compensation, to provide a tempered glass screen protector.
. Sedentary reminder sometimes get activated during late sleeps, I.e: if you are asleep around 11am it might get activated
. Sleep times unreliable, usually start earlier than actual or end late or early than actual. Somehow watch thinks you are sleeping before you go to bed. There is about 1-2 hours difference.
Very good summary, I am sure it will help these people that plan to get it.
Hi I'm Japanese. Is the notification still in Chinese? Isn't it translated into English or Japanese?
This is the intenational version and everything is in English. I've had no issues with Chinese letters.
so MI BAND 5 is better? please help me T_T
Yes, I think it is.
Thanks, I will give this a miss. I can not swim, walk, sleep or see well. Why cannot someone produce a good quality watch with just a bright 1./38 screen, heart rate and blood pressure monitor and with a few choices of watch faces? No one I know uses any of the other options or indeed bothers to wear it after 2 or 3 months
Yeah, more and more watches with blood pressure measuring are coming in the next months.
AS OF 25/08/2020 HAYLOU SOLAR LS05/LS02 WATCH ISSUES (Most can be solved by firmware updates. Hope Xiaomi/Haylou guys will support the watches)
*The weather/temperature on the watch is not updating.
*BT range seems too short, watch keeps disconnecting in next room.
*No option to turn off Bluetooth on the watch.
*Sleep feature is very unreliable. Times usually deviates and it doesn’t detect naps during day.
*It seems like watch doesn’t have any screen protection at all. It’s a deal breaker for many. It’s a good idea, as a compensation, to provide a tempered glass screen protector.
*Raise/twist hand screen activation is very sensitive, screen turning on/off frequently. Fortunately it can be disabled from fit app.
*Number of notifications that seen under “Notice” is limited to 8.
*Notification message max length is limited to 75 characters (spaces included).
*Sedentary reminder sometimes get activated during late sleeps, I.e: if you are asleep around 11-12am it might get activated.
HAYLOU FIT ANDROID ISSUES
*Fit app drains battery bit fast. Looks like it’s better after setting it not optimized in battery options.
* The weather is not updating, sometimes even manual update is not working.
That's even longer than my list with issues 🙃
It's not 40$ tho, here in Asia it only cost for around 18 to 20$
I hear this is the Chinese version, which is not multilingual.
Hey you scrolling down I wish a good day and hope that you stay safe and sound 🙏🙏❤️
Thanks mate! Wishes for a wonderful day to you too!
Tech4All thanks greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Excelent review.
Glad you liked it!
Mine got to my country in 4 days... freaking fast
Woooow! Awesome.
I don't like soo much tracking gps Nd WiFi inbuilt in smart watches is disaster ..I just want something that works ,,steady built Nd gets updates regularly to iron out issues ..had this phone yesterday and it works fine for me ,my smartphone already has many unwarranted teachers I don't want two tracking devices strapped onto me 🤣🤣🤣,,,
Good point!
Is this better than Xiaomi Miband 5, can you make a review of it too? Thanks.
Sure, I will review the Mi Band 5 as soon as I get the global version. And Even the Mi Band 4 is better than the Haylou in my opinion.
receive telegram notifications?
Yeah.
@@TechMishka Show tks
I think, the best deal i made in last year was buy a MI band 4, help me a lot of in my daily life and I can shower with it... To every one looking to buy some low price smart band, I suggest you mi band 5 or 4.
Getting a Mi Band is always a great deal!
Great job! Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
Tech4All Can you change Music with them with iPhone?
in my country its $20
Once traveling becomes a thing again, sounds like a place to go for tech shopping 😜
Lol Xiaomi is copying both Samsung and Apple with this (look at the watchfaces)!
Oh - that's very true. I don't think this is exactly a Xiaomi's idea. Most likely this watch is developed by a startup company and is only sponsored.
Come on, for those people who can only spend $40 for a watch, do you really expect a Rolex presentation? Fancy logical title? And tones of features? They don’t even have enough salary to feed their employees. I don’t even judge the brand if I spend $300, but I would if anything above $500. This is just a beater watch, daily use, throw it away with no pity.
Good point; There are some good cheaper alternatives though; just saying 😇
Mine just $25 🤔
Good deal, mate!
The only good in this watch is the battery life and built quality, the rest eg sport, sleep tracker is useless. Buy another watch like Xiaomi band 5 or Honor band 5. I already through my Haylou and use my old Honor Band 4 which is mutch better!
Excellent suggestion.
your negative comments seems does not applies to normal users like myself...
They are not meant to be negative - most of these are plain facts, and different people value different features. Very glad you enjoy having the watch!
Are you Xiaomify?
Nope. He is Wick van den Belt.
Hmmm this basically a more expensive version of mi band 4
I would say way more expensive version of M4 band (not xiaomi) - $6 in a round body!
Its official price is 21$
Only for the Chinese version.
Super
😎
Design, colour and interface is copied 100% from Samsung Smartwatch...
They found inspiration, huh 🙃
just ordered this. with your review i should have not ordered it.
Nah, my opinion is my opinion. You may actually like it better. 😎
@@TechMishka got the item. felt premium but my issue is the app. does not sync with google fit. got it around 32usd
Designed, produced, and manufactured in Shina. Don’t buy it unless you want all of your information involved with it be sent over there. Tracking ad all data.. Beware. Same with huaway. Don’t do it... Misspelling on purpose...
I would really appreciate if we focus on the technical side of all that. Politics is more suitable for other types of channels.
We would really appreciate it if you don’t make content supporting the forces which are tearing our free world apart...
Edit: Don’t get us wrong. We love your videos. But no more Shinese companies please. Thanks man 🤝🤝
Why do all Indians want to boycott China? I've seen quite a few comments like this.
@agustin quiroga Have you not seen the news?
Choosing a smartwatch is a real mindfuck. Really i can't decide. Anyone HELP
Write down your priorities, then sit down, narrow down a few models and you will figure that out 😊
The watch is $20. If Apple sold this watch it would be $200 😅
Where can you order the international version for $20?
Can you swim or shower with it? I'm worried that I might forget sometime
Some sources claim it will be fine. I got scared by one of their marketing materials which asks people to wipe it dry once it gets wet.
@@TechMishka yeah, they mentioned something about a longer life span. I don't wanna lose it, even if it is just $20. The whole point of buying this is because I'm poor, haha, can't afford watches like Galaxy Active but I can afford to live without some of their features XD.
the chinese price is 20$
no the Chinese they pay you just to get rid of it
True, currently the Chinese version is going for 21 USD but the global version with only ENG language is going for (32-36 USD).
Saw a discount down to 32 with shipping two days ago.
😍
🙃
wow 9:30 get up so late, haha
Well... 😁
