Smartwatch

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

REVIEW – Back in October 2018, I reviewed the Matrix Powerwatch X, the first smartwatch powered by the wearer’s body heat.  Since then, Matrix Industries has been developing the next generation of product and offered us the opportunity to review the PowerWatch Series 2.  Let’s check it out. What is it? The Matrix Industries PowerWatch

REVIEW – I’ve been using smartwatches since 2013 (the Pebble!), moving on later to models from Motorola, Apple, and Ticwatch.  The Amazfit T-Rex promises up to 21 days of battery life while still delivering all the key features you’d want in a smartwatch, so I was excited to try it out! What is it? The
