Many people are willing to experiment with
smartwatches and their capabilities. Unfortunately, the most common reason that
dissuades them from trying one, is the high prices that big manufacturers sell
theirs for. However, the price that XWatch EX16 has, is
so low that someone can easily give it a try.
The XWatch
EX16 that sells for as low as $19.99 has many advantages as well as disadvantages.
To start with, the device connects via Bluetooth 4.0 (compatible only with
Android devices), so it can provide notifications for incoming calls and
messages and updates from social networking applications. In addition, it can
also count steps, distance and calories burned, and can be used to control the
camera app of your smartphone.
Its dust and waterproof meeting the IP67
standards. This means that it can be submerged to a depth of 1m for up to 30
minutes (although the manufacturer ensures that survive the immersion to 50
meters). But, the most important feature is the battery that will take you as far as 8 months long
(in standby mode) or up to 12 months if you turn on power saving mode.
On the
other hand, its main disadvantage is that it doesn’t feature a heart rate
sensor and that you can’t download additional apps on it. The XWatch EX16 is
the perfect choice for anyone that wants to try and see how it is to live with
a smartwatch before spending much money for a better model.
