5.0 out of 5 starsBest watch ever...
Reviewed in India on 10 April 2024
Bought this piece for a very peculiar reason. Needed a watch to remind my 8 year old daughter when to come back home after playing with friends. Initially bought the typical children's watch with an alarm (beep) for around 500 bucks. While the watch indeed had a good enough sound to alert, the process for setting the alarm was way too complicated to be handled either by her or her mother. Worse still, the alarm kept beeping unless it was disabled, once again following a labyrinthine process. So lost patience and decided to buy this one which is paired with my wife's mobile. Noise has done a great job providing a decent list of features at this price point. To be honest, I am a dumb user to talk about any of the smart features but comparing with similarly priced watches, it looks like a good buy. In my limited knowledge, here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. The screen has 60 hz refresh rate that really makes it very responsive and gorgeous.
2. Some of the health related parameters like BPM, SpO2 appeared to be accurate when compared with an oximeter.
3. The Noise mobile app impressed me with its slickness, smooth performance and a simple and intuitive user interface. The app does a fantastic job of synchronizing the settings almost realtime with the watch.
4. Call functions on the watch are simple and easy to use. The watch really has a loud enough in-built speaker that you can use to listen and talk on call. The voice is perfectly audible with no noise and distortion. The mic also does a great job and the voice on the other side of the phone was clear as well. However, not sure how many people will find it useful to talk using their smart watch.
5. Battery life appears to be great as well. Again, would like to clarify that the actual users of this watch are not power users so don't think I'll be doing justice with my feedback on this particular point but still.
6. Wanted to buy the Rose Pink color but it was around 500 bucks more than most of the other colors so settled for Deep Wine. But surprisingly, this one looks gorgeous.
Cons:
No apparent cons but my biggest disappointment is the purpose for which I bought the watch remains unfulfilled. Not sure if that's the norm in watches at this price point but there is no sound either with the alarm or reminder. It only viabrates. So while playing, my daughter doesn't realize if the alarm is viabrating or not and misses it altogether. That's the reason for deducting one star. Really wish if Noise can fix it with a software update.
