Inside this gadget, the Nordic NRF5283QFAA chipset works, and they have their own operating system installed. They connect to a smartphone based on Android using Bluetooth 4.2 and the Wear Health proprietary program.
In addition, this watch was equipped with a heart rate and blood pressure sensor. In addition to them, there is an accelerometer that will help you calculate steps more accurately. Several variations of watches have been released for sale, the difference is in the type of strap: leatherette, steel or silicone. Each of them received its own type of fastener and color scheme.
What about the package?
Smart watches are delivered in a cardboard box, which reliably protects them inside. In addition to the gadget itself, you will find a proprietary USB-A charging cable with a magnetic mount and instructions in the box. Despite the subtlety of the instructions, everything is clearly stated in most languages with pictures. A child can also figure it out.
Watch design.
Let’s start with a remark that we had from 1 minute. If silicone or leatherette straps easily adjust to the user’s wrist, then a metal strap with a butterfly clasp may have extra links that are problematic to adjust to different wrists.
In general, there are no questions about the assembly, which is quite surprising for such a price. You need to press the buttons with effort and click, which is quite noticeable. The buttons themselves do not squeak, they sit securely and do not fall into the body. In this regard, the watch will last a long time.
In terms of size, the watch is slightly thicker than a standard watch. Not without its drawbacks. We are talking about the charging port and a plastic pad in the strap attachment area. Yes, the plastic is strong, but it is easily scratched and easily damaged with constant use.
Display.
The display of NO.1 S10 does not face wear and tear, as with the bracelet mount, as it is protected by Gorilla Glass. The problem is in the screen only in the form of a square and not an OLED matrix, but TFT. In addition, as it turned out, the screen was shifted to the center. Users – perfectionists will not be happy about this, although this will not affect the work of the watch, especially since it responds very well, and the icons are clearly marked.
System and interface.
The clock interface is divided into 3 blocks: the main one, which tracks activity and interacts with applications. Everything is standard, plus responsiveness and smooth operation, thanks to which the watch responds perfectly to touches and button presses.
The menu is intuitive and convenient. The Menu button allows you to navigate through the options, while the Start and Back buttons work as intended.
Out of the box, the S10 has 4 dials that show all activity parameters: heart rate, pedometer, calorie burn rate. It is possible to read incoming SMS on the screen, but unfortunately it is impossible to answer from the clock. The icons are well drawn, the elements are distinguishable and intuitive. Once again, I would like to note the smoothness of the shell and the absence of slowdowns.
Smartphone software
Wear Health software contains standard functionality, information is loaded into the program quickly, even if there has been no synchronization for a long period. The application provides the user with access to the steps and distance traveled, sleep, and heart rate tracking. All data is displayed as charts and is automatically transferred to the calendar. In addition, there is a built-in alarm clock, goal setting, and the ability to manage calls and notifications, a reminder of prolonged inactivity.
Special functionality.
A new feature of the watch is the ability to track not only the pulse, but also the blood pressure. If we compare the compass and heart rate monitor with special equipment, the results are pleasantly surprising. We hope that the measurement of blood pressure will be as accurate as this function does not work in our model yet, but the manufacturer promised to fix it in an update.
Autonomy NO.1 S10.
Autonomous work of the watch is the strong point of the gadget. The company has done a lot to optimize the software part. The manufacturer himself claims that a watch without a charger can last up to 2 weeks. This news will be appreciated by users who are tired of charging their gadgets daily. But there are also some disadvantages. First, the adapter is not suitable for fast charging. The second is not a reliable magnetic mount, displacement of which only a millimeter will stop the supply of energy to the smart watch.
Results.
Whether or not to buy this device is an intimate and highly individual decision. The S10 has many advantages, including their price. This is an excellent accessory for active pastime, although it is distinguished from others in design. If you want to buy an affordable watch with excellent functionality, moisture protection and unusual design, then you should definitely pay attention to this watch.
