Design and build quality
It has a circular display with a metal design frame, but it’s plastic, making it look like a premium device. On the right, it has two buttons for functions and shortcuts. At the bottom, you will find all the sensors. Talking about the device’s strap uses a silicone strap with a comfortable texture.
However, if you don’t find the strap suitable for your preferences, you can replace it with a similar dial strap. Sadly, the side buttons are in a circular style, but they can’t be used as crowns; instead, they function as buttons.
Display
On first impression, the display has solid brightness, and you won’t find any difficulty during outdoor conditions. There were multiple watch faces that you could apply; there was a long press-down button to go into the watch faces.
Software
You can use this device on Android and iOS devices with v5.0 or 9.0, respectively. To use the watch with your smartphone, use the TheFit application to add and manage the device. Apart from changing watch faces on the watch itself, you can use the app to customize further to enhance your experience.
You also have a personalized option to customize your watch face experience. You can use an image from the gallery. Swipe-up gives you a notification panel, and swipe-down gives you quick control options.
Right-to-left gives you shortcut cards, and further swipes provide activity and functionality. It gives you the menu left-to-right.
The Heart Rate Sensor and SPO2
It seems accurate; testing showed similar results to what we found on the Apple Watch. On the other hand, when trying with the oxygen meter, we had identical results. Placing it on the table shows the error in not finding it.
Calling Feature
This feature wasn’t enabled by default; you need to enable it on your mobile device to allow it to. On top of this, it has a call transfer feature (to your phone or from your phone to watch). Other functionality includes a mute mic, volume, and end-call control.
Missing Features and the Battery
As a Fire Bolt user, some features are missing that need to be added, like a calculator and games. As the company claims, it could last you seven days in the general use-case scenario and 15 days on standby.
This device is well offered for this price. It’s a well-designed circular smartwatch, and the straps feel too comfortable. Furthermore, the call quality is superior, but the mic doesn’t feel impressive; yes, it is acceptable.
