The Uwatch smartwatch has a sensitive 1.48 inch LCD that is clear and easy to read indoors, but can be tough to read outdoors, especially on a sunny day. However, due to the highly responsive nature of the touchscreen on this smartwatch, the glass is very sensitive, and you need to be careful when using to avoid shattering it. I’d recommend applying a resized smartphone screen protector on the U8 to give your display a better chance surviving daily usage.
For the price of the U watch, you should not expect to get an HD Retina display anyway, but the the screen is probably the weakest part of the Uwatch U8. The Uwatch comes with three unique watch faces: two analogue faces, and one digital face. The digital face can be easily set to either display the 24- or 12-hour style. Even though it is not possible to install other 3rd party applications on the Uwatch, as is possible with the Moto 360 or Apple Watch, most of the essential and defining smartwatch apps are already pre-loaded on this device.
Some of the apps work independently without the need of connecting a smartphone. However, other applications, such as notifications and phone calls, require a connected smartphone ( via Bluetooth) to function.
You will, however, have to set the device manually after unboxing, as it doesn’t sync the time and date with the connected smartphone. Also, the watch faces are designed with functionality in mind, so don’t expect any Mickey Mouse watch faces here.
