The watch I purchased was named HoFit C20 Pro and seems to be the same watch. First issue is that the user manual which is basically useless as the font is so small that it is unreadable. I did scans in pairs so have 4 pages which I numbered 1-8 and then put the info along with other info and some personal comments into a Wordpad document so I can readily increase the size of the image and font. Thankfully you mention to remove the faux face from the watch. Would have been nice for that info to be in the user manual. Also would have been nice to have a .pdf user manual provided by HoFit. Next issue is that when going to Sport and selecting the icon for walking (no idea what the icon was for when choosing it as I was trying to find a spot to actually set the time and date, I can't get out of that feature of Walking and the watch itself will not even doing a Long Press, the watch will not turn off. Thus so far I can't find a method of actually setting the time and I suspect that I will have to let the battery die in order to get out of the situation of not being able to exit the Walking feature in Sport. Any info on these things would be great. TIA
Yeah exiting the sport tracking is always a bit flimsy with almost all the watches. Sometimes you need to slide left, right, up or down from there to get to the end screen and then either hit the square icon (sometimes long-press) or long press a hardware button. Can't remember how it's here sorry ... don't have the watch any more ..
I got thos watch and im pretty impressed with the look. However the faces could do with some upgrades and more customization to the faces should be allowed. Also, a flashlight should be included.
OK - thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's not perfect, but haven't found any better below $100 so far. If you need more customization, then usually only works with Apple Watch or Android Wear watches.
Hi. I didn't apply a lock ... I think it doesn't have this function .. but I just deactivated the "wrist gesture" screen activation. Some smart watches apply an automatic lock when using the "swimming" function, but unfortunately not this one.
Can you talk through the phone on the speaker ? Another words if some one calls me I can talk to them by talking to the watch instead of using ear buds or the phone. I have the older c20 watch I can just answer or decline the caller. It has no speaker.
Yes, this one has a speaker and a mic and you can even use it for voice control for smart devices or other stuff with google assistant. Maybe also Siri but haven't tested. One of the best smart watches below $100 for sure ...
@@SteveS-p6c Wow ... so sorry. Maybe then buy this one - it's awesome - just made a video and I think it's the best budget high tech watch in 2024: ruclips.net/video/xu-DiWLzaUg/видео.html (link is in the description of this video)
Nice watch, BUT doesn't have the ability to wake you up. The vibration is extremely weak even if the intensity is on strong. Do you know if you can use the speaker for the alarm clock?
Good description of the watch especially about the keepers. Many tubers don't even acknowledge the importance of keepers. For me the band and keepers are sometimes the deciding factor when it comes to buying a watch. I like keepers that will not slide down on the band. Is this band plastic or rubber silicone???
Thanks for the nice feedback ... and thanks for the name ... keepers ... didn't know it. Yeah also important for me, but you can replace the watch band with a standard watch band, but can't remember the width. I don't have the watch any more and hence can't if it's plastic or rubber silicone. If I had to guess then normal plastic ... but not 100% sure ....
Hi, does anyone know how to hard reset this watch without phone and app? The watch does not respond to buttons and the display is black. Green LEDs light up from below. Thanks for advice
Officially says "The rugged men's exercise smartwatch has got through IP69K rating test, with static waterproof to 100m, you can wear it for all day-to-day water sports and activities, such as swimming, diving, surfing", so you're good for swimming, but I would be a bit careful with salt water (and at least rinse after use with clean cold water) and avoid any really hot water (spa) and also avoid soap (e.g. in a shower or bath). Hope that helps a bit ;-)
Sry - can't remember how it is with this watch. With most such watches you can't really reply to text messages (only with Apple watch and Android Wear watches ...), but some still have a function in the app where you can arrange some predefined answers.
I have this watch. You can't technically text from it but there is a slight work around. If you swipe right and hit tap to talk, you can ask your voice assistant to send a text and you can do so with your voice. The only caveat is that you have to have your device unlocked to do so.
I was looking to buy one and chose this and wound up here your video is the best thank you and i subscribed as well thank you very much easy and understandable great job thank you again
The battery life on this smartwatch is insaaaaaaaaaane!!!!!! One of the best ive seen so far
Thank you for the confirmation 👍

Hi how do you set the clock, can't find this /
By connecting the watch to the app on your phone ;-))
yes now I understand thank you // Danne from Sweden
what is the mm size charger of smartwatch c20pro?
Sorry I don't have it any more and hence can't measure. Maybe the seller can tell

How do you connect the call. Mine is always said try to pairing but nothing happened
Yeah it can be super tricky. Make sure you double-check all the suggestions and recommendations in the app to give all authorizations
@ALLCHECKOUT Hello, I noticed you locked the touchscreen to avoid the changes from the water splashes. How to do that?
Hi. I didn't apply a lock ... I think it doesn't have this function .. but I just deactivated the "wrist gesture" screen activation. Some smart watches apply an automatic lock when using the "swimming" function, but unfortunately not this one.
@@allcheckout Thank you! They should have implemented It, It is very annoying when swiming indeed.
@@elsoleto Very welcome. I hope they will upgrade this in the next FW update if enough buyers are complaining ... ;-))
How do you adjust the volume on the watch?
Probably can only be done during the call or at least in the calling function
Thank you!

im not receiving the text messages - it beeps that a msg is coming through but no text
Oh wow ... that's sad, but can't figure from here what's wrong. Maybe double-check all authorizations for the app
I have all notifications on
I returned the first watch I received and have now purchased from another seller
However same issue

This has also an audible alarm ....
I love this watch. I want to get one. But, does anyone know if there are apps for it that you can download on the watch?
Yeah - great watch, but no apps to download. You can only download apps for very few watches. Mostly Apple watches and Android Wear watches
I like it but the Alarm only vibrates, there is no sound, no way it would wake you up!
Hey, Great review ! Is this watch support hebrew text ?
Sorry don't remember. Sold the watch already, but it's a really nice one. One of the best smart watches I've tested so far ...
I bough the same smartwatch but the phonecalls and receip calls does not works! Help me!! What i can do?
Weird ... is it properly connected with Bluetooth?
It works. I reload the app for the Smartphone.
Comment régler la date et heure ??
Just connect it to the free app which comes with the watch on your phone and then it will adjust the date/time
@@allcheckout merci ☺️ il marche bien 👍🏻
@@amineamani6737 tres bien and service .... (I hope that was OK with the rest of my French knowledge ... lol)

How Cai I erase the faces downloaded? There is no way
Just download a new one and it will delete the oldest one automatically ;-))
Strap size pls
Sry can't remember :-(
Hi, does anyone know how to hard reset this watch without phone and app? The watch does not respond to buttons and the display is black. Green LEDs light up from below. Thanks for advice
Usually it's only from the app and from the system menu from the watch. Maybe long press both buttons long time ...
@@allcheckout I tried the buttons, any combination of buttons doesn't work. The watch worked for a month....
@@majklo398 Wow - that's very sad. Then probably it's damaged. Can you get a replacement from the seller?
hey friends, I just bought this watch product but what makes me still curious is whether this watch can be used for swimming
and if it can be used for swimming how long

Can you connect it to the Instagram app?
Nope
Mine does not charge and threw out the box already 😢
Wow crazy
In depth and concise! Great hands-on review mate👍
Glad you think so! Thanks for the nice comment!
Why is not connecting to my iPhone 14
It should be possible to connect to your iPhone 14
How do u reply to message on watch can I text on this watch

I tought is water resistant, but after 5-6 hour in the pool it dies,... :/
Crazy ...
@@joim3480Thanks for the explanation 👍👍
The battery life in this watch is terrible and it is not that water resistant. You get less than a day of battery
Then it's probably broken and need to be replaced
No auto brightness....
Good.
I hate auto brightness.
If there's an auto brightness on any smart wach ... there's always an option to turn it off ;-))
I was looking to buy one and chose this and wound up here your video is the best thank you and i subscribed as well thank you very much easy and understandable great job thank you again
