9 day battery life Notifications support emojis |
| Disadvantages |
Rounded screen not as clear due to reflections Cannot respond to notifications No app store with third-party apps Zepp app is more complex than other smartwatch apps |
| Verdict |
More of a fitness band with a larger screen than a smartwatch. Watch is light and battery life is ok. Drawbacks include no notification reply ability, no GPS, no 3rd party apps and no NFC. Consider the cheaper HONOR Band 6 with similar functionality but a better screen. |
