Smart Watch, UMIDIGI Uwatch 2S Fitness Tracker Heart Rate Monitor, Activity Tracker with 1.3″ Touch Screen, 5ATM Waterproof Pedometer Smartwatch…

En un mes he comprado dos, pero el primero tenia unas funciones que el segundo no. No entiendo porque se envían unos con medición de presión arterial, oxígeno en sangre y brújula, algo que aparece en cualquier review en internet y el segundo recibido nada de eso.

Para colmo en el segundo comprado ni me aparece el mismo fondo de pantalla que aparece en las imágenes.

Pido respuesta inmediata.

Cuál es la razón?

 Very smart looking smartwatch. It has absolutely everything. All different types of sports monitoring and calories, steps, ect. It reads heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. It tells you the weather and even has a compass on it. Khan it also tells the time, reads messages and other phone stuff. Its smart looking and made well. It charges easy and lasts at least 2 days depending on usage. In very happy with it

Avevo già un Umidigi UWatch 2 (motivo per cui c’è il cinturino in maglia milanese), un dispositivo che mi era piaciuto molto, unico difetto era l’impermeabilizzazione, visto che si era fulminato mentre mi lavavo le mani (questo infatti rimarrà molto lontano dall’acqua). Le misurazioni sono reali infatti si nota lo scostamento nelle misurazioni da quando sto calmo a quando mi metto in movimento. Le misurazioni non sono precisissime visto che da misurazione a misurazione c’è uno scostamento del 10 – 12% che dovrebbe essere dato dal fatto che il firmware è ancora acerbo visto che il dispositivo è stato rilasciato da Umidigi pochi giorni fa. Le traduzioni in italiano non sono perfette, per esempio l’impostazione per cambiare la luminosità si chiama fulgore’. Il display è molto buono, si vede sempre, quando pieghi il braccio per controllare per esempio l’orario lo smartwatch non sbaglia mai, si accende sempre. La connettività Bluetooth è veloce. A dimenticavo anche se l’orologio è rotondo, lo schermo dentro è quadrato ma non ci si fa troppo caso.
Conclusione:
Quando era appena uscito l’Umidigi UWatch 2 anche lui non era perfetto lato firmware, le misurazioni erano un po’ sballate… ma col tempo è migliorato, quindi sono sicuro che anche questo verrà migliorato. Sconsiglio a gran voce di metterlo a contatto con l’acqua anche se è impermeabile!

Edit: Di recente ho acquistato anche Uwatch 3S.
In generale è molto simile al suo predecessore.
Anche qui le misurazioni sono buone, peccato per la mancanza della funzione di misurazione della pressione. Ovviamente il display è quadrato, si nota leggermente di più rispetto al 2S, ma non è un gran problema. Ottima la funzione per accendere il display dello smartwatch e controllare l’orario con il movimento del braccio. Buona anche la durata della batteria. In oltre, ora non c’è alcun problema di traduzione, quindi da questo punto di vista è perfetto. Una pecca potrebbe essere il fatto che, quando si riceve un messaggio sul proprio telefono e lo si visualizza, non c’è la possibilità di scorrere per guardarlo per intero, per cui bisognerà comunque controllare sul proprio cellulare.
In generale però rimane uno smartwatch con un prezzo abbastanza accessibile per quello che offre.

I’ve owned a few smartwatches myself. A couple of Android Wears, a Galaxy S Frontier, the Pebble back in its hayday and the Umidigi Uwatch 3. This watch is the latest of the collection and there are a few things I like and also a few I don’t.

— Hardware —
I bought the watch band version, my first impression was that it looked amazing. Loved the size, the weight, the minimal look all appeal to me aesthetically. There’s no buttons or dials on the side. The design is very sleek. It is slimmer to most other smartwatches or at least comparable to the slimmer ones out there.

Let’s talk about the screen a little bit. On the surface, that big round black area looks great with the watch, however most of it isn’t the screen. The screen is a square area located in the upper part of the big round black face. There’s a round capacitive button located at the bottom for “cancel/back/wake up” operations. We’ll get to the navigation in a bit, but the fact that the screen doesn’t fill up the whole round area is a little turn off-ish. Kind of a missed opportunity I think because the rest of the watch looks so good. You kinda get used to it after a while though which I did after a few days of use.

The charging cable it came with attaches to the watch magnetically, you can only attach it one way and it doesn’t come off or get disconnected easily. This is one of the things that is obvious and that some other watches manufacturer can still get it wrong. Umidigi nailed it in this department, and my older Uwatch 3 comes with the same cable so I can charge both.

I can also attest to the waterproofness of the watch. I didn’t go swimming but I did bring it into the shower one time(in the name of academic testing so don’t judge). The watch actually still function well when it’s wet, so that’s a plus, can’t say the same about my waterproof ebook reader which I’ll not go into.

— Health and Fitness —
Let’s get to the more exciting parts of this watch, there are a few things that none of my other watches has and that’s blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. As a middle aged carnivore, blood pressure is always something on my mind, am I getting enough exercise? am I eating healthy enough? is my waist getting in my way? So the blood pressure functionality is a very welcomed. While it’s comforting that all of the readings are within normal range, I didn’t verify the accuracy or relative accuracy of those readings because I don’t have another way to measure my blood pressure other than to go to my local shoppers drug mart of the clinic. I can tell you though that it reads higher when I’m a bit more agitated so that’s at least a good sign.

Blood oxygen level is new to me, I’m not in the health industry, so I don’t exactly know what that’s related to. Upon searching up on google, it’s related to heart and lung diseases, so to those with a condition, it would be a very useful tool to gauge if things are getting worse and whether you should go see a doctor.

Heart rate. I turned on continuous heart rate reading on the watch, so it monitors my heart rate which is on avg 72 bpm and shows that I’m alive. The reading is comparable to my other watches so I believe it’s correct. BUT when I went biking over the weekend, it reads my heart rate was steady and that concerns me about the accuracy because there are hills where I live and the bike ride had a least 100m elevation gain, so my heart rate cannot possibly stay steady and my other watches have confirmed that. I’m not sure if it’s a software problem, but I hope Umidigi takes note and fixes that.

Another standard function of a fitness tracker is sleep tracking. I can verify that it tracks my sleep well. The sleep time and wake up times are both accurate. Can’t tell you when I actually go into deep sleep or REM so I’ll just have to trust the watch. The patterns are similar to what my other watches tell me, so nothing concerns me with this regard.

— Notifications —
Notifications are easy to read on the watch, the Da Fit app allow you to configure what notification you want to be sent to the watch. The standard ones include your Phone, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Skype, Instagram, Line, KakaoTalk, WeChat… and one called “Other”. The “Other” obviously is the kitchen sink, because the app doesn’t know which app is providing the notification so it groups it as other, so you cannot specifically turn on notification for YouTube but not Pinterest for example because the app doesn’t recognize them. It’s a shame because some notifications will update the percentage of completion like downloads and updates, and they’re quite annoying.

— Battery Life —
The information claims a 15 days battery, I worn it for a whole week with 15% left. Do keep it mind though I did go for a 2 and a half hour bike ride(s) over the weekend, plus testing out the functionalities, measuring my blood pressure on a whim, so the usage pattern is a bit heavy. I also believed it can last 15 days if you only use it as a watch and not have continuous heart rate turned on because it was sipping battery slowly in the first few days before I went on the bike ride(s). So take that 15 days battery with a caveat. It will certainly last a week for sure which is plenty.

— Navigation —
Navigation as a whole is fairly easy with swipes left and right going thru your stats. Swiping up to access the watch functions and Swiping down will give you some quick buttons which I find rather redundant. The round capacitive button at the bottom of the screen will bring you back to “Home”

— Watch face —
The Da Fit app has about a hundred watch faces you can select, and this is rather subjective. I personally found the original being the most pleasant.

— Da Fit —
My older Uwatch 3 uses the VeryFitPro app, but this watch uses another app called Da Fit. It’s probably because of the additional functionalities of blood pressure and blood oxygen reading. Both apps are made professionally and are quite good. My biggest gripe of Da Fit is that it cannot be synced to Strava or Google Fit. The data is forever locked in the Da Fit app and cannot get out. As a multi-watch owner like myself, that’s not acceptable because my data cannot be centralized. I have to look at strava for my Uwatch 3/Samsung tracked bike rides, but I have to switch to Da Fit or the Uwatch 2S tracked. This is so far my biggest problem with this watch, and it prevents me to use this watch for any exercise related tracking. I still like my blood pressure read though….. sigh.
I also haven’t tried tracking with GPS on, and how the Da Fit app handles it, but since it cannot be synced to Strava, I never bothered.

— Other functions —
The strangest thing I find with this watch is the Alarm. For the life of me I cannot find it anywhere on the watch navigations. I found the stopwatch, weather, find my phone, camera shutter, and music control…… but no alarm. I can however set the alarm in Da Fit, and the watch will buzz when the alarm sounds. Not the most annoying, but weird. The music controls works fine even though it’s not as front and center as Android Wear and Samsung makes them so I don’t use it much. It’s just more convenient to control it via my bluetooth headset instead. The camera shutter brought me to another camera interface so it’s a bit confusing, but it does work with a 3 second count down once you press the shutter button so you’re not caught with your hand pressing the shutter button on your watch.

— Conclusion —
I honestly quite like the watch and I can see myself wearing it day in and day out… There are a few drawbacks, but the long lasting battery and good normal day health tracking makes this a good watch to wear on a daily basis, with me switching to other watches for exercise purposes. The low price is a no brainer also.
