Smart watch

I was looking at an article on the tech related sites and came across this https://adogadgets.com/products/smartwatch-tactical-v5?utm_source=758415
The claims are good and the price is very good, and was wondering if anyone know of this product, good or bad feedback, as I don't really want to waste money on something worthless.

    I suspect it will be cheap rubbish.

    I suspect because it runs such an old version of Android if it supports sideloading a lot of other stuff will be incompatible as the minimum base line seems to be Android 5 now. So you may find if updates are needed it becomes a very expensive watch.

    I'd argue things like this are gimmicks and while we all start off with good intentions it will ultimately boil down to just being a fancy watch at the end of the day.

    Spend £10 on one direct from China, you may even get that exact watch for £10.

    The price is very good? What are you comparing it to?


    EDIT: I was wrong its a £20.12p watch.

    Never heard of it. I would get a Fitbit instead.

    Its a cheap no brand watch you can buy for £20.12 for just one or as little as $14 with your own brand name if you purchase 3000 / 5000.

    Contact the seller for larger orders or specific requirements. :)

    If anyone buys from that website they need they should expect to get nothing or a cheap item for their money.
