My problem is I've been known to break electronics on camping trips. I still use a map and compass for navigation. Technically has let me down but old school never has.
Tha know you for the video unfortunately I just ordered the Tank M3 Ultra. I had watched lots reviews raving about the T3 Ultra. Will know the usability once I receive mine. I guess most like me bought it due to the affordability.
I've got a Sekonda smart watch, only a cheapy with not that many features, but it counts steps very accurately, the alam is fine, the sleep monitor and heart rate works perfectly, battery life is amazing, you don't need the app running in the background. All in all, it's a great everyday watch for 80 quid. I think some of these smart watch makers in the cheaper end of the scale try too hard to fit all sorts in.🎉
And what about sensors accuracy? In terms of gym workouts, running, burned calories, heart rate, etc? Is accuracy relatively close to bigger brands like Garmin, Samsung, Huawei... ? Thanks
Not really the best, tbh I rarely wear it as I can only rely on it as a watch. Pointless having something work part time. Could be the phone as it isn't one of the big brands but everything else works with it fine
I have had similar problems. I am using an S23 ultra and the phone keeps disconnecting from the app. So messages don't get through or notifications etc. The way to solve this short term is to go to your apps and force the kospet app to stop and reset. This tends to sort it for a day or so. With respect to the training I have found that you need to manually start the training app and make sure gps connects. Then it will track cycling etc. if the gps hasn't connected before you press start then it never connects and nothing is tracked It's a bit of a shame as I love the form factor, look and battery. But at the moment performance is a bit flaky!
Just bought one. Sport recognize mode doesn't work for me either. Motorola G Stylus. Everything else works great. Not sure I care about sport recognize mode. From what I read you still have to confirm what sport it thinks your doing so why is that better than just selecting a sport from the list? UPDATE: Noticed today that when I was driving for approximately 15 minutes the watch vibrated and the display showed I was riding a bike. Apparently Sport recognize kicked in. It wasn't correct but it did at least try. So it does function but does it work? Time will tell.
Others have said they haven't had a problem. I can only report my findings dude and even now the problems persist, although it is connecting for longer
No disconnecting issue after a week of using it. 2 issue I have is the battery life, barely last 2 day with sleep monitoring and gps ON and no offline maps to store in the watch. Maybe yours is just in need of a device support update. Cheers
A GPS watch that doesn't help you navigate? It sounds like it does what our cell phones already do. Except for the "GPS" function which seems to just be a step counter, not an actual GPS. I think that I will stick with my Casio Pro Trek PRG-270-1 Tough Solar Triple Sensor with 100M Water Resistant, Low Temperature Resistant (-10 C / 14 F), Altimeter, Digital Compass, Barometer, Thermometer, Full Auto LED Backlight with Afterglow, World Time, 31 time zones (48 cities + UTC), city name display, daylight saving on/off, Sunrise/Sunset Data, 5 Daily Alarms, Hourly Time Signal, 1/10 Second Stopwatch, Countdown Timer, 12/24 Hour Formats, Button operation tone on/off, Solar Rechargeable Battery, Battery Level Indicator, Power Saving Function, Approx. Battery Life: 9 months on full charge (without further exposure to light), low temperature resistant (-10c/14f); digital compass w/bearing memory. 😁
This is absurd. How are you going to do a comprehensive review on some obscure phone no one's ever heard of. At least use one of the low end Motorola offerings or some other lower mid range phone people have actually heard of.
Phone runs the latest android software, has a higher spec than most mainstream phones and every other connected device run flawlessly. I am here to give honest findings and not misinform people as to the functionality. The auto recording of excersize (outside of the phone) is as good as useless. It was impossible to do a comprehensive review on a product that only works a fraction of the time.

Thank you for your honest review sir, we will make it better in the future.
Paired this to the Pixel 8a and it works fine for me.
A very honest review mate.
It's all I've got Dave
My problem is I've been known to break electronics on camping trips. I still use a map and compass for navigation. Technically has let me down but old school never has.
For sure
Its a great watch at that price point and excellent customer service
Tha know you for the video unfortunately I just ordered the Tank M3 Ultra. I had watched lots reviews raving about the T3 Ultra. Will know the usability once I receive mine. I guess most like me bought it due to the affordability.
I hope my findings are not the norm mate, I can only report what I find

Agreed
Does it have a stable connection with phone? Automatic turn off AOD during night? And I suppose sensors accuracy is better than zeblaze watches...
Connection has improved a little. May well be non compatible with my phone
And what about sensors accuracy? In terms of gym workouts, running, burned calories, heart rate, etc?
Is accuracy relatively close to bigger brands like Garmin, Samsung, Huawei... ?
Thanks

@@nobbysnononsensegearreview8057 thanks. Got one myself, nice looks and specs.. only problem experienced is often losing connection with the app...

Thanks mate it's good to know I'm not skating something as I'm a technophobe. You're right tho if working it'd be a great watch
You can go into app settings and set the app to stay active in background even if you close all apps....
@black79montecarlo123 I have mate but it doesn't help with the disconnection issues and the auto tracking.
Mine works flawlessly.
Which smartwatch did you pair with?
Just bought one. Sport recognize mode doesn't work for me either. Motorola G Stylus. Everything else works great. Not sure I care about sport recognize mode.

It's happened to me driving, must only recognise cycling at 60mph lol
The Pairing is a pain for me 😕 and the cycling is very disappointing not being able to record the info
I'm still persisting but othing has improved
It is a good watch for its price, GPS sucks.
You dont need to run the app on the phone all the time. I have Tank M3 ultra works really good.
Return for a change of item. Mine works perfectly well.
Does the watch have a way to display GPS Coordinates?
No to my knowledge
I've just bought it on online platform 8.8 sale, hopefully its just on your phone issue else gonna return it.
Others have said they haven't had a problem. I can only report my findings dude and even now the problems persist, although it is connecting for longer

Smart watches aint that smart.
When I'm alone in bed, my smart watch thinks I'm using a jackhammer.
Pmsl, use your other hand
Sorry, it not temperature sensor.
👍👍👍

It aint the best
@@nobbysnononsensegearreview8057 Neither is mine, but all of the functions work, and it can go 9 months without being in the sun to recharge.
Comment for algorithm.
I got this for free, on the understanding that I would shill this for free on RUclips. (paid promotion)
World's worst shill by saying it doesn't work lol
