Sufficient tech

I wanted to get a good value smart watch for measuring heart rate and step count and the SoundPeats Smart Watch seemed to fit the bill. I have purchase True Wireless Earbuds and found them very good value for money so thought I would try their take on a smart watch.

Design and Construction, and Parts Overview

In terms of the design and construction, the SoundPeats Watch 1 seems pretty decent (I have been using the watch for over a week).
The watch itself and screen are made out of plastic while the wrist strap is made of silicone-like rubber. The overall feel of the watch is quite good and doesn’t feel cheap at all.
On the front there is a 1.4″ 320×320 colour touch display which can get plenty bright enough, I have mainly used the screen on it's lowest brightness which I have found perfectly sufficient.
On the side of the watch there is a have physical back/home button that also doubles as a display toggle. On the rear are the charging pins as well as the sensors.
The watch is IP68 which means it has ingress protection against dust and is waterproof up to ideally beyond 1m suitable for various intensive sports including swimming, although I noticed swimming is not included on its trackers.
I have used the watch in the bath several times and had no issues.

App use and setup

I downloaded the SoundPeats Sports app by using the QR code supplied which took me to the app in the Play Store (Androind).
Once set up is done, the application is actually quite intuitive and offers a ton of features when it comes to alarms, reminders, push notifications, and stats report for sports activities. I note however there is no ability to customize the watch faces from the app.

Use

I have found the watch usable and dependable for the most part, except that sometimes the raise to wake is somehow slow to react and the user interface can sometimes feel a little sluggish. But other than that, everything functions as it should, the trackers and stats monitoring works well and I have found the charging times/use times meet the manufaturers data.

Improvements

More watch faces, other than that for the price I am happy.

Conclusion

I think the SoundPeats smart watch is a sound purchase. It is decent value and offers most if not all the features most people are looking for.
