Smartwatch

REVIEW – It seems that the smartwatch has become as much a fashion accessory as an intelligent wearable.  While Samsung lags behind that other Fruit-flavored brand when it comes to accessories, recently third-party manufacturers are stepping up and filling in the gaps.  Case in point: Pitaka, who entered the fray with a fashion-forward carbon fiber

REVIEW – You know when a watch comes up for review and several Gadgeteers “reply all” with “That’s a really good watch” that you’re in for something neat if you get to review it.  Such was the case with the Mobvoi TicWatch E3 smartwatch, and I was lucky enough to get it and give it

REVIEW – I’m a watch guy. I absolutely love watches.  I have a bunch of watches and favor quality Swiss timepieces.  Rolex, Zenith, Tissot, Tag Heuer, Ulysse Nardin, Frederique Constant, Ball, Bulgari, Rado, Movado – yup – got ’em plus more.  I’ve stayed away from smartwatches because of my affinity for high-quality mechanical watches.  I

REVIEW – If you have gone searching for a smartwatch lately, I couldn’t blame you for being overwhelmed.  Of course, there are the mainstream top-of-the-heap smartwatches with the Apple Watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch, and the forthcoming Pixel Watch from Google, which is getting a considerable amount of buzz.  And although those watches come with

REVIEW –  Does the Amazfit GTS 3 smart / fitness watch compete with big name brands? Amazfit has been around for a while and has lots of models from which to choose. I count 30 smart / fitness devices they’ve made or still make. The current state of the GTS 3 watch and its app

REVIEW – The Amazfit T-Rex was released in late 2019 and demonstrated the most rugged Amazfit watch ever created. A little more than a year later, Amazfit has released the Amazfit T-Rex Pro. The new watch has a bunch of sensor and durability improvements. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few Mobvoi products here at the Gadgeteer over the years with their smartwatches primarily focusing on fitness, ruggedness, and bang for the buck. In such a crowded tech-space, they continue to hold their own by improving their smartwatch hardware, performance, and user experience. This year is no different, the

REVIEW – Earlier this year I reviewed the Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch, and it was one of my favorites so far.  Since then I also tried out a Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS Wear OS watch, which had better features overall but a much shorter battery life.  Zepp (either a rebrand or sub-brand of Amazfit depending on

REVIEW – When you see a square watch on someone’s wrist you automatically know it’s a smartwatch just from the shape of it. The square face tends to be the go to shape for smartwatches these days. However, I prefer the traditional round circular shape for my smartwatches. And with the Zepp E smartwatch, not

REVIEW – There are more smartwatches these days than I can shake a stick at, but if you ask people on the street to name models from memory I would bet you would get “Apple Watch” and “Fitbit”, and that’s about it.  I’ve used quite a few different models of smartwatches over the years, from
