      It's under $12 delivered from overseas, somehow I don't see them fitting a daylight readable screen that would cost them 30 to 100 times what the screen they have fitted costs.

      In other words it's to be expected for the price.

    I got one which I bought for $28 6 months ago. It is a bargain for this price.

    Pros

    Decent speaker, can play songs too.

    Good Bluetooth connectivity.

    Have to download notification app and it works flawlessly with notifications.

    Step counter, decent pictures and videos (.8mp)

    Stainless steel finish.

    Last me for a day and a half with moderate use.

    Cons
    Only 3 watch faces

    Cannot download any apps.
    Hope helps someone

      Can you connect it to a phone/device via Bluetooth and use it to control music? (play/pause/next/prev/rw/ff)
      Not sure if it's "sync to play music" means it tries to act as a Bluetooth speaker, or if acts as a controller.

      • solidsnake on 26/04/2017 - 22:25

  • chossenger on 26/04/2017 - 22:30

    If the camera's actually 0.08MP, that's a resolution of 8x10 pixels, which seems… kinda absolutely pointless. Probably actually 0.8MP, as @solidsnake said.

    • Clear on 26/04/2017 - 22:49

      Yeah you're right. It is 0.8MP.

    • kz on 27/04/2017 - 03:31

      0.08MP = 80,000 pixels which seems reasonable for such a small screen.

      • spaij on 27/04/2017 - 08:22

        Yes, it's possibly the screen resolution, but in the OP is says:

          If you are going to make a calculation it would be good practice to include the formula so we understand how you came up with it (in my case I pulled it out of the air loosely based on how long someone followed my brother around to sell him a coke)

        • Gravy on 27/04/2017 - 08:14

          You are likely working on average wage earner.

          If you consider the lowest end who exist on like $1 a day then Jackson is probably correct. http://factsanddetails.com/china/cat11/sub70/item155.html

        • BartholemewH on 27/04/2017 - 17:16

          @Gravy:
          I was working on average salary however the average for a manufacturing worker is still more than 55,000 CNY. I have seen no evidence of $1 a day employees in the factories I have visited.

          Luckily for me this is the internet, where no one is concerned with best practices.

        • Jackson on 27/04/2017 - 22:07

          @BartholemewH: well I guess I wasn't necessarily talking about employees persay, but just generally what a large number of people have to live off.

        • Gravy on 28/04/2017 - 10:12

          @BartholemewH: From what I've read, it seems the really low end earners are in rural areas so likely not factory workers. The divide between rural and city is decreasing though.

  • adr8 on 26/04/2017 - 22:46

    I bought this watch from an Everbuying deal posted on here awhile ago for about $11AUD. As mentioned the screen isn't bright and difficult to read on a sunny day like most smartwatches at this price point. It is also chunky, a dead giveaway you a wearing a cheap smartwatch.

    There are a few clones of this watch, the cheapest only has 32MB if you want to install custom firmware you will need to buy the 64MB version.

    There is a long thread on XDA if anyone is interested, if I remember correctly the genuine versions of the DZ09 had 64MB or 128MB.

    I have one and have had it for quite some time. It works well and all features work. The only issue for me is that it needs charging every day. But that is to be expected. Oh and it does not auto on the screen when wanting to check the time. I have to press the button to bring it up.

    I have a similar one.
    I have a sim card and can make and receive calls using Vodafone network. Purchased a 360 day pre paid card. Use to receive calls and card lasts for a year. Do not make calls but can in emergency. Uses too much of my 360 day credit
    I receive calls from the phone on my wrist whilst driving. Hands free!!
    Also have a data card installed Takes videos and stills.
    Useless for apps.

    Why can't Samsung and Apple make their Smart Watches smart.

    I sometimes leave my Phone at home and have my "watch phone number " in favorites so my wife can ring me on my watch no matter where i am.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/04/2017 - 15:36

    Actually got one of these suckers a week or two back. The price itself here is nothing special, mine was 15 or so including a couple of bucks for express shipping.

    Anyway, here's my experience with it.

    First of all, this app worked the best for me from the couple I tried, for syncing it to my phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.szfunyun.b…

    Second. There seems to be a far few different versions. Some have FM Radio and different themes, and some, like mine unfortunately don't. I bought it to watch Simpsons on the train (long story) and this (profanity) can't even play ANY videos. So be warned on that.

    What it can do though, is sync really well for phone calls and shit, no noticeable lag, good call quality, loud speaker, good times.
    The music player is a bit shit in that it's either play all your songs in one 1000+ list or dig through the file manager and pick them individually.
    The camera is what you'd expect, but the placement makes it annoyingly hard to actually take a photo of what you want, but you will get the hang of it. Not sure about them all, but mine doesn't take video.
    The touch screen is responsive and the picture quality (for the size, at 240x240) is quite good. Surprisingly easy to type numbers in and call them, but you ain't gonna want to be sending a text message on the little screen.
    Speaker is REALLY good, for the size. Distortion isn't too much of an issue, it ain't the clearest thing when you're blaring Judas Priest on full blast, but it's loud, and I like that.
    Also makes a really good toy for your 1 year old who always wants to play on the big people's phones.

    If you're on Vodaphone (maybe Optus too, but I think they upgraded) and still are capable of 2G calls, this (profanity) is actually a phone. Like, a whole phone. PRoblem is, it's 2G only. So you might end up doing what I did, and giving it to your baby and investing in a QW09 which is a full fledged Android Kit Kat smart phone watch capable of 3G calls and shit in addition to WiFi and all that, I got mine for 40 odd bucks on GearBest the other day.

    Also the pedometre is full of shit, does not work at all. No calorie counter, no nothing. Not that I care, I would delete that stuff if I could just for the hell of it.

    tl;dr: it's really good, it's a phone if you have a 2G compatible network too. but probs just buy a QW09
