Yeah

Yeee

Can we play pubg on it?

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah there's only Egyptian review

Thankyou, that is much appreciated. I do want to do an “updated review” maybe going into note detail as well as answering some Q and As about the watch. Didn’t realise how popular this video was going to be!

@@mcphoney No problem. Waiting for the video.

For battery life I would say about a day, not the best to be honest. Even if just using it for the time you would probs have to charge it every night. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and commenting too btw! Much appreciated!

Evening I got mine can you tell me what app to you from the playstore because the barcode scanner on the phone didn't connect to the app it provide

Yes it can indeed however you would need to be very close to your phone for the Bluetooth to stay connected and let you know when a text or call comes through! Sorry about the late reply! Ps. the stepometre isnt that great for accuracy, but it does work!

No it doesn't

Yes I think you can but I also think that this only works with a 2G sim card and most simcards nowadays are 3G or more.

Hi Amita, sorry about the late reply! I’ve always set the time just by automatically syncing it with the phone however I’m sure you can do it via the settings in the watch itself. Have you sorted it yet? If not I’ll charge mine up and have a look for you!

Tharki BaBa yeahh that’s what I’m about to ask.

Yes

But you need to connect to the watch to yoyr phone to get music then the watch to the headphones and you can't do that because you can't connect both the phone and the headphhones

Barbara24kt Hi Barbara, I actually had it on the other day so it’s in my refreshed memory! But basically you take off the back cover, remove the battery and then you will see two slots. One with a black cover and one with a metal cover - use the one with the metal cover and place your SIM card onto the connections and slide the metal thing over it. Now I have a micro sim (very small) but it still works however if you want internet on the watch then from what I’ve gathered The watch only supports 2G, not 4g like modern sims. You can still make calls etc though! Hope that helps! I’m on a stag night btw so hope that made sense!!

Basically take of the back and then take off the battery

Hmm i cant remeber im afraid, ill have to charge it up and test it!

Hi Dylan, apologies for the wait on replying! Their is an app that you download for the watch but it’s more of just a Bluetooth Connection app. Doesn’t really do much else I’m afraid. As for all the messages, the watch only seems to store messages it receives once it is set up/connected, It doesn’t actually transfer the rest of your messages from your phone. Basically if you received a message on your phone at 9pm but didn’t set the watch up or have it switched on until 9:05pm then the watch would only receive and store messages that were received after 9:05 and not any from before. Hope that makes sense! To be basically honest, it’s a nice watch but you get what you pay for. The battery isn’t the best and you can’t move to far away from your phone otherwise it will become disconnected. And I still can’t get the internet/twitter/WhatsApp to work on it either! :-( But in its defence, it tells the time and does do its job asking as you keep your phone nearby too!

@@mcphoney Just got one of these. This is actually what I was wondering about because it doesn't seem to do that. What's the "app" I need to download to receive msgs on watch from phone?

Does it support zooming and typing for more clarity?

Sorry about the late reply! Have you manged to sort it? What size GB is your memory card?

yep it receive as standalone

Hi Uzair, you do indeed need a memory card to use the camera, as for the Bluetooth earbuds Ill have to charge mine up and try it out. I think you can but will have to double check for you!

MCPHONEY thank u, repl me after check

Yes you can!

@@mcphoney How? Please.

What app did you use to connect the watch to your phone

Hellen Gakuruh Hi Hellen, thanks for watching and commenting! to be honest when it comes to fitness watches, I’ve found that it’s better to spend a bit more as budget ones are not very reliable both in terms of data recording and battery life. Does it have to be a watch though or can it be just a fitness tracker? Watches tend to be more expensive and for one that does the job with fairly accurate readings I think you would end up spending around £80/$150. But fitness trackers can be picked up quite cheap now and are quite accurate too. Although I haven’t tested it I’ve been told good things about the Huawei Band 2 and this works with google fit too. But if it’s a watch then maybe something like the Garmen viviactive HR which is around $100. I did get another cheap fitness watch and was going to review it but haven’t got round to it yet. I’ve tried it though and I quite like it. I found it on a kickstarter website and it was only cheap ($30) but now trying to find it on the web it has gone up to around $80 which personally I don’t think it’s worth that much. Sorry I couldn’t give you a more definitive answer but basically it comes down to a few things. How accurate do you want the data? Do you want a fitness watch or fitness tracker? Do you want additional features like camera/etc. The V8 watch which I’ve reviewed in this video is nice and cheap but personally for fitness it isn’t that good. Here is a few links that may help though... www.wareable.com/sport/the-best-google-fit-compatible-apps-and-devices www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/dtdeals/cheap-fitbit-aternative/%3famp Hope they are some use, sorry about my very long answer!

Thank you, this is of great help

No problem! 👌👌

go with mi band.

Hi there, I’m not sure what that wire is. Did it turn up like that when you bought it?

You can press a button on your watch that will answer the call if you are near your phone. However you will still have to speak into the phone. 👌

From what I remember, I think you MUST have it connected to a phone in order for it to display the correct time. It does it automatically once it’s connected.

Went to Settings & found Time & Date. ...and yes, you need tiny fingers.!😅 Again, thank you.

Happy days, so you got it sorted then? My apologies for the mis-information! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Ahh yes…tiny fingers indeed! 🤣

Hi Shane, thanks for watching and commenting! I’ll have to double check a few things but technically yes I think this watch should be capable of those things! Unfortunately however I don’t think you can have Spotify on it but you can just place all your desired mp3s onto a micro SD card and then play them from that. (like you said basically) 👌 You wouldn’t be able to make or receive calls/texts however unless you took your sim out of your phone and placed it into the watch every time you went for a run. But if you are like me you wouldn’t want to be disturbed whilst running anyways! Ha ha! And finally even though they say this watch is splash/rain proof...I doubt it really is. I could be wrong of course but it doesn’t look or feel it! So if you where running in rain you may have to keep an eye on it! So basically for an mp3 player then this can do that, it is a nice little cheap and cheerful watch but with a lot of features! I think though because it is so cheap I can’t fully trust it to be reliable, That’s the downside of it. For example even to this day I’ve still not managed to get Twitter/Facebook/internet to work on it!!! Now in terms of other budget smart watches to recommend this is where I get a bit lost I’m afraid. I’m going to be reviewing the DZ-09 budget watch soon but I’m willing to bet it is exactly the same as the V8. (From what I have seen the OS looks exactly the same as the V8)! I was also looking at the Zeblaze Thor Pro 4g watch for myself (and of course to review) as that looks very nice however at over £100 it’s no longer a “budget” smartwatch and is out of my price range! I did manage to grab a nice watch from a kickstarter campaign however that doesn’t play MP3s, it’s more of a fitness tracker really. If it played mp3s it would have been perfect for you! So I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help there. But basically if you can find the V8 watch somewhere very cheap then try it out. You haven’t got much to loose but of course you don’t want to just throw money away! However from what I have discovered, to get a fairly “ok” smartwatch that won’t go dead or malfunction too quickly then the price rises very quickly too! Hope that helps in some kind of way and of course makes sense! If not just let me know! (Apologies for the epic long reply too!!!)

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. I've looked at a couple of other options and I'll probably spend 50-80 quid for what would be a wrist-based, mp3, heart-rate monitor, distance tracker and sprint-timer. That would do me just fine. I've subbed to the channel and will keep an eye on your reviews / aff links . Thanks.

Shane Carr Thanks Shane, that is much appreciated. 👌 I think one of the best options for yourself maybe a TicWatch? The only problem is they are slightly over your budget. But the good news is that they are releasing the TicWatch 2 very soon so I’d imagine the original ones should hopefully drop in price. Fingers crossed! Now I haven’t tested one myself but from what I have heard they are good, reliable, look great and I’m pretty sure you can have Spotify on it too. (As well as google play if that’s any use)! You can get a few different models but if you google TicWatch I’m sure you should be able to find plenty of info. And I’ve always seen them on “top smartwatches” lists. If the price does go down it could be perfect! 👌

Hi Dusan, sorry about the late reply! So I’m sorry to say that you can’t add your own picture as a watch face/screen saver. You do however get three options to choose from that are automatically in the watch. To select them go to settings>phone settings>display>wallpaper>system>static wallpaper, then you have a choice of a blank screen, a purple flower or a red flower. Is that what you meant? Hope that helps!

@@mcphoney Yes, exactly. But two days ago the watch turned off and stopped working completely. How long have you had yours? Is it still working? I have already contacted the seller. Anyway, thank you for getting back to me.

Dušan Kováčik Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. Mine is still working so hopefully it’s just a one of and the supplier will swap/refund for you! Let me know how you get on! Hope it gets sorted quickly for you!

@@mcphoney Ok, I will. Thanx for your interest.

no

I’ll have to double check but I think the app does track fitness and the watch itself does track your heart beat however I don’t believe either of them are that accurate.

Hi there, it automatically set the date and time once you connect it to your phone via bluetooth. Hope that helps!

or you can set manually from settings.

I didnt have that issue myself, have you managed to solve it? Sorry about the late reply!

Gilv PRO No I’m afraid not sorry. It can take pictures but not video. Hope that helps! 👌

It defo does indeed, it vibrates and you can change the “profiles” too! Hope that helps! 👌

@@mcphoney thank u so much.. 😊👍

Hi there, unfortunately I cant really answer that question as I could not get any internet to work on the phone. No facebook, twitter, google etc! (Sorry)!

Ilyass Douiri No I’m afraid not, no WiFi connection. But just to warn you, I couldn’t get any of the internet/Facebook/Twitter etc to work anyway! I got google to load it’s home page but that’s it! :-( Nice watch just a shame it has a few drawbacks!

@@mcphoney alright thank you for answering me in time and nice video

Ilyass Douiri No problem, I’m trying to get hold of a similar watch and see how well that one works. It’s the DZ-09. Watch this space!

You have to connect it in your wfi hotspot you need to connect it to your phone so the wifi connection will be transfered in to tour watch

I was just syncing the time with my android phone. Once it was connected via bluetooth it came up on the watch as a notification "sync time and date with phone". However if that is no help let me know and ill have a little look for you! 👍

Thanks for helping me out MCPHONEY

Can we directly connect it with bluetooth or we have to download any app

Cheers B23, much appreciated! 👌

Hi there, when you say “no service” do you mean you can’t make or receive calls?

You have to insert a sim card

I suppose it depends on how much you use but with general everyday use you can easily get a full day out of it. Most people charge it everyday night if that’s any help! 👌

@@mcphoney thanks that REALLY HELPED

@@mcphoney does the device need a phone to access whatsapp, fb and Google or can it do it individually?

Im not too sure to be honest im afraid, i still cant even get whatsapp or any of the internet required apps to work!

@@mcphoney Have you tried Bluetooth your phone to your smartwatch to get WhatsApp notifications? Only can receive WhatsApp notifications. My ex boyfriend has the original smartwatch from Samsung. Its exactly the same. But there are many fake/copies now.

Hi there, sorry about the late reply! I’m sorry but it doesn’t have a heart rate monitor. It does have a pedometer but to be honest I doubt it’s accurate! Hope that helps! 👌

I have this watch. Depending on use really. I can get a day if I use it for calls and texts (I only check texts, the screen keyboard is very small, although a stylus might be useful, dialling numbers and using the watch's phone is simplicity), obviously like a smartphone, the more you do, the bigger the battery drain. I do use it in conjunction with a Bluetooth headset as a remote control for music playback, that impacts but not too bad. There's an inbuilt "power saver" function, display brightness, display on time adjustment, so there are options. I just press the button to see the time, then the display goes black, that saves power. Hope that helps.

@@mistermatix8241 Thank you! I am purchasing it right now :D

Thanks for your help on answering Major Mo, that is much appreciated! 👌Totally agree with what you have said too! Just depends on how much you use the watch throughout the day!

.

I never got it to work on mine but it could of been because of my sim card. To be honest I doubt the internet would be any good on it as the screen is quite small and even if the internet did work it would be very slow!

No unfortunately not sorry!

No

fyrephin Hi fyrephin, I’m sorry to say but no unfortunately the straps cannot be changed. Sorry! Thanks for watching and commenting though! Much appreciated! 👌

@@mcphoney actually it can

Louie Rojo Bo I’m afraid not sorry. It’s more of a fitness watch I’d say!

Well the sim card I placed in it was 4G and it was fine (apart from the internet not working). However it does state in the instructions that it only has a 2G capability. Hope that helps!

maybe online

Hi Alice, I think I got mine from Wish from what I remember! Its a very common watch available from most online stores but at the time on Wish it was on offer! Hope that helps!

Hi there, sorry about the late reply! Its designed to take a micro sim however i still managed to place my nano sim inside by just holding it in place and clipping the sim holder shut over it. Hope that makes sense! As for network Ive tested two different ones here (o2 and EE) so I doubt it is locked to any particular network. Cant guarantee it but I think you will be fine! 👌

@@mcphoneyHi thank you I have a mirco sim on 02 but it had signal but when I went to send a text it wouldn't send Sian

Hey Sian, just letting you know I havent forgotten about you, just mad busy! Ill charge mine up and have a little play around and let you know! Can you just confirm was the watch connected via Bluetooth to a phone when trying to send a text or just the watch with the sim in it?

Do you need SD card?????

@@elishanissi5178 I use SD card. I installed it already.

How will u turn on mobile data??

@@elishanissi5178 i don't know because there is no options. The only option i saw is you just choose GPRS network.

Is it possible for u to send me a video of it.... Coz truly I don't know how to operate it... All the KZfaq videos are not specific

For the price it is a cheap but "ok" watch. Battery lasts about a day if you are lucky but for telling the time and phone calls it does the job! Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

No I’m afraid not, it does not support WiFi. Shame really! :-(

No I’m afraid not sorry! ☹️

mandeep kumar Most definitely not I’m afraid! Sorry!

I just used the 4g sim card I use from my iphone however upon further research I do believe it only works with a maximum of a 2G sim card which is a bit hard to come by these days Im afraid.

I found one on Amazon thank u for trying to help

No problem, hope it all works ok!

Thank u so much it works well

Happy days! 👌👌👌

Thankyou! 👌

I’m not sure so I’ll charge it up and find out for you! 👌 Watch this space!

Thank you. I want watch that will give me many alarms. I don't want it always connected with my mobile, I don't really care about the pedometer etc. For the price I am hoping this will be alright.

Sara Shebear Finally got round to charging it and I can confirm it has 3 alarms! Must admit though it is a bit fiddly to set them as the screen is so small! But yes 3 alarms! Sorry about the wait!!!

Thank you for your reply. My current cheapie smart watch has 3. It6not worth the hassle of changing.

Hi there, sorry about the late reply! In regards to your question im pretty sure it can! Havent used it in a good while but positive it does do bluetooth calls and texts!

Yes you can........ I got one and you can make bluetooth calls

Thanks Max! 👌

Hi there, in regards to WiFi and KZfaq I don’t think you can I’m afraid!

Ahmed Drake Hi there! Good question! I’ve just tested it out and the answer is kind of yes but mostly no. You can operate the music/video that is playing on your phone via the watch. BUT...the sound will only come through the watch. Even on KZfaq, you can change the volume or skip the video...but again only with the sound coming from the actual watch and not the phone. Tried changing the settings etc but as soon as you disconnect, you loose operating the music/video via the watch and everything has to be done via the phone. Once you connect again, the sound just comes through the watch. hope that makes sense!!!

@@mcphoney yup got it xD . I just ordered a one , I won't regret right ? I mean it's cool ? Ty man ^^

Ahmed Drake Personally if it’s not too late I would try and cancel the order. That’s just my personal opinion of course! You may actually like the watch! For my needs however it wasn’t suitable! Especially as I couldn’t get the web browser/Facebook/Twitter to work on it either! For a budget watch though it does do the job! Tells the time and has a host of other features too! Entirely up to you really!

@@mcphoney I just need the calls only and notifications from messenger and whatsup. Will it work ? :( 💔

I've got one of these (for Christmas) you can listen to a Bluetooth headset and use the phone as a "remote". All you have to do is, once you pair your Bluetooth headset on your phone, simply select your audio channel between phone, watch and headset. It's that easy....and works a charm (it also works for calls) .I'm using an LG G6 running oreo, and I can honestly say I've had no problems with the connectivity. I'm not a Facebook /twitter user, and I use duckduckgo on my mobile or tablet, so those functions don't bother me. As a smartwatch for checking texts, call info, playing music, using as a hands free, it's excellent. My wife got it for me as a stocking filler, I love it. I'm looking for a less bulky, but similarly featured one for her as she loves it too!

Hi there, have you solved it yet? If not il Leo a bit of research and see what I can find! Is there anything in particular (file wise) you are wanting to transfer?

Have u found out an answer? If not i suggest maybe putting the files u want from ur phone onto an sd card then put that sd card in ur watch. Idk see if that might work!

@@mcphoney Does it support zooming and typing for more clarity?

my self The battery unfortunately on this watch does need to be charged at least once a day. Sometimes even more depending on how much you use it. Hope that’s helps!

@@mcphoney so with little words ..better mi band 4 :p

Defo not a good quality camera thats for sure!

@@mcphoney yeah!

kiddadd I’m afraid not, or if it is meant to then mine doesn’t. When I’ve tried to look/watch a video on the watch it doesn’t recognise the video and won’t show up to select it. Shame really!

@@mcphoney not even from an SD card? Thanks for the fast reply.

Fraid so, I’ve tried multiple file types on an SD card but my V8 smartwatch just wouldn’t show them, it would show pictures and allow me to view them but no option to select or watch a video. No probs about the fast reply! Although I must admit it is 5am here at present and I really should be asleep!! Ha ha!

@@mcphoney lol, thanks for the info, I was only going to buy the watch if it played videos. It's midnight here in Texas.

kiddadd Well then for playing videos I defo wouldn’t recommend it! For a cheap smartwatch though you can’t complain because it isn’t that bad, it has basic functions, you can connect your phone etc but as the saying goes “you get what you pay for!” So most of these functions don’t work as well as you would like, the camera quality isn’t exactly the best, and I still haven’t got the internet/twitter/WhatsApp to work on it. But it does tell the time though! Ha ha!

Hi there, do you mean the ringing/alert volume? If so then yes, you can go to the profile setting and like on a phone and have for example "silent", "meeting" etc. Hope that helps!

@@mcphoney And under Options you can set the volume and ringer for each profile

ohhh lalalaaa😂

My childhood

I doubt it very much but couldn't really find out as I could never get the internet to work on it!

@Max Hart Unfortunately not. I did some further research however and I think it could be that with this watch (the one I specifically have) it only supports a 2G simcard and the one I had in it was 4G.Thats the only thing I can put it down too. However it does seem to be trying to load the internet when I try but then thats all that happens. Did mange once to get to the google home screen...and that was it! Shame really!
