Its a good smartwatch. Have used for around 7 months. First of all its important to find your use case. I want it as a functional watch and independent light weight backup phone. If you want anything comparable to even cheapest of smartphones, dont buy it.
Coming to hardware, its great for the price segment and 600mah battery on it works for a day. Even for 2 days and a half, if its in standby mode(in my case). However it would work for an hour or two the moment you open music or internet or bluetooth. However, I don’t think anyone will want to use this watch for any such purpose due to small screen size. Charging is quiet easy during the start of use. With time, charging becomes really difficult. Charging happens through pins in charger and charger attaches itself to watch using magnetic contact. I personally felt, the magnetic power is reduced and I am having lot of difficulty keeping charger intact with watch to charge it.Speaker quality is average. You can hear loudly and properly in quiet condition but listening is difficult in noisy environment. The screen quality is average and glass is tough. I accidentally banged watch against desk, doors many times and all I got is small scratch. Camera is really downside since intex has gone with very poor focusing and alignment.Until you are not wary of privacy concern, you can talk with its loud speakers. It does have a good mic which works efficiently. But, its good to have bluetooth reciever for calls, if privacy is important.
Coming to software, its powered by Kitkat and I believe nothing above it will be supported due to the hardware limitations. It has fitness app, calculating number of steps you walked.I never really used iconnect app, since it wasn’t my use case. I didn’t even know about it until I found it in someone’s review. After giving it a try, I found it quite average. Real time sync is difficult but its the software issue and I don’t think company like Intex will be fixing it in any near future. I understand iconnect is a crap, no one wants to see their missed call or SMS notifications in smartwatch unless you use it as a primary device for everything. The recently introduced Intex Fitrist fitness device can even push real time calls and messages to Fitrist but you can only see the number displayed as there is no sync for your contacts to identify who called/sms’d you.
The hardware build and functions are pretty good comparing the price. So without complaining much about the software where most of the Indian players fail at first and give the required updates via OTA is what we can believe. Meanwhile what we can do the trick is to make use of Tablet Talk kinda apps. Thanks to those who have examined to see if it works for this smartwatch. If someone who has utilized these apps if they can write a detailed procedure how to connect smartwatch with Tablet Talk will help all entry level junkies like me benefit out of it. Also someone who tried can let us know how to receive push notifications from social messengers like what’s app, facebook messenger likewise. Good luck
