NO.1 DT98 – cheap smart watch with ECG and IP68 water resistance

My impressions of the NO.1 DT98 smartwatch are good overall, but unfortunately this type of watch is not for me yet. Mostly because of the durability of the battery – coming from watches that have not changed their battery for more than 5 years, charging your smartwatch every 4-5 days is extremely painful. Even without a permanent Bluetooth connection, this watch cannot last more than 1 week on a single charge. As far as I understand after my research, even high-end smartwatches can’t last more than 2 weeks on a single charge. You need to keep this in mind, and if battery life and constant charging are a concern, you should consider taking a step toward a smartwatch. Otherwise, in general, the NO.1 DT98 is a wonderful smartwatch with many features that are not found even in higher-end watches. Features such as ECG, blood pressure and heart rate are questionable accuracy – but this is also the case with more expensive smartwatch models. I’m not even sure that the ECG measurement works at all – even though the measuring plates are present. Pulse and pressure also almost always show identical values. But still for this price range it is real, a miracle that NO.1 have managed to implement so many features in this watch. The other functionalities work very well and without any problems. The biggest surprise for me was the opportunity to call and talk through the watch itself, as well as to read most of the messages and notifications coming from the phone. Quite disappointing is the application you need to connect to the NO.1 DT98 smartwatch. The application is called FunDo and the biggest problem is that you can’t set it when you want to have your blood or heart rate measured (for what day or time). The application shows data for such information only if you have manually made such a measurement from the smart watch itself. For me, this is unbeatable for a modern application and a smart watch. Overall for its price, the NO.1 DT98 offers a lot of functionality and is a great option for the first smartwatch.
