Im in the same boat.
I have looked at all three of these watches, what i dislike about the W3 from i have seen is it has a clamp style charger.
Im leaning more towards the Mlais Smart Watch which looks really nice, just waiting for some reviews first.

Yes..i agreed about w3, further more, i kind diasgree when u have to flash new firmware b4 it can work fully. It should be ready out of the box.
Mlais is using android 5.1...maybe it same like howear rom..but, from what i know, once it use 5.1, thats mean its not companion anymore, its mire like standalone without simcard..(correct me if im wrong)
I really cant wait for the mlais as after pre-order sales end, the price will be higher (ridiculous high)
I like Rwatch but it has flatyre screen and from the internet i can say this ine having problem with touchscreen and heart rate sensor..
And as i pre order ulefone future phone, i really want to try this GW01..
I think its weird but i cant find any info here in xda..
Maybe because its very good no problem at all or
Nobody use it, buy it..

Yer i know, same problem i have.
The Ulefone GW01 was my first choice before i seen the mlais watch now just cant choose.
as for rom flashing and standalone devices i really have no clue.
Im also looking for a smartwatch that can change clock skin, msg notifacation, without sim and circular shape and possibly heart rate monitor.
Tomorrow is the last day at GB for the discount for GW01..after that the price will be usd99+
I will appreciate any opinions
I wish i would find more video about this ulefone watch but i couldn't.
Mlais is not a bad option..in fact, from what iv know, this is only watch come with 5.1 out of the box..
Could someone tell me, this 5.1 android without simcard are actually as companion as zeblaze series in term of push notifications.
I see video by darkanglez (maybe wrong spelling) and frank tee about w3 new rom..but it not cover enuff about notifications..but it does produce a great video about general. I can see on those video that it has developer option, runing 5.1 rom.

I will not trust their answers..i trust more xda if someone could answer it..
Gearbest also reply that this watch cant change the band infact this watch could.
Like zeblaze, it has fix 5 clock face and through fundo u could add 3 extra which is so ugly...but it can add some extra trough apps installed in fundo.
If this ulefone can support more clock face..its really good..but actually, have u guys know that any companion watch that can add extra face?
W3 can but after flashing new rom (howear)
Mlais uknown, but think of it will be running 5.1, it should be able to change any watch face available.
Rwatch r11?..

Yer from my understanding the Moto 360 has the ability to change clock skins, push notifications.
and as time passes by the Moto 360 1st gen is looking better and better especially for the price.
I was just looking for something cheaper and different.
Yes..moto 360 can change clock skin, and still pricey even 1st gen (esp for me..)
Become forgot about mainstream brand since looking the chinese brand..(mainstream brand use snapdragon processor)
Oukitel a29 really good but with simcard

Another 2 watches i have been looking out for are:
Ticwatch - which looks amazing has nice features but as far i can see only available in China. (no good for me)
Bluboo Xwatch - looks good so far with four customizable buttons but very minable info on the item/release date.
Yeah...bluboo xwatch. They produce a good phone, they should done the same with smartwatch..but im afraid it will not companion, recent trend chinese smartwatch maker tend to use simcard as selling point.
Ticwatch use 5.1 with option to run full android wear..its interesting untill i see the price around usd158-160
For the price tag, mlais seen better choice if...5.1 they use are companion.
Moto first gen at usd99 also good...
Which one to choose..sigh..
Ulefone gw01 or moto 360 1st gen

If i had to choose now i would go moto 360 considering how much community/company support it has, as the Ulefone gw01 has no real review or community support yet.
the major downside to the moto 360 is the back is made if glass and alot of people saying it always cracks, so it has its flaws.
Its just so hard to decide when the info your looking for isn't available.

thank you so much for ur assisting..
still remain unanswered about smartwatch running 5.1 wether its companion as android wear...
definitely it will change my mind if it does.
If you both want to know about this ulefone GW01 I can say that is the same smartwatch that the No.1 G3.... just with different watch faces. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...s/no1-g3-smartwatch-discussion-watch-t3376699

I'm a bit skeptical about it being truly from ulefone after watching the video below, no ulefone branding anywhere..
(video not in english)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7LYIastZnw
There is Ulefone Logo on the crown..but nothing at bottom case..even nothing on the box..
Without any announchment by Ulefone..this is maybe another chinese smartwatch..haha..hard to say..
If this works like i want..then its worth.
Or maybe..hunting for new watch again..

Hi Guys,
I recently got a fake U8 (no about us page etc) I really liked the watch but it was missing some features like vibration only and different clock faces.
I'm looking at getting another smartwatch and wanted to know your thoughts. Is it worth trying to find a real U8 or is the U10 or U+ 2015 better to go with?
Is there any cheap watches that have lots of faces or customization faces? apparently the U+ only has the one digital face :S
Thanks
im waiting for my u8 last time I got fake ones and it also didnt have about page.
do you have the watch with you, then please take some photos so other people also can see it!
I would spare some money and go for Tommy weloop
I don't I'm afraid. I returned it and got a refund. Looking at an s12 now similar price and don't seem to see so many fakes about.
Hi all,
Newbie here. Looking for some advice. I can't decide which watch to purchase between the following: U8, U8 Pro, U10 or the ZGPAX S8.
New to these smartwatches hence can't make mind up. Any help appreciated.:good:
Anyone?
what do you want to use it for?
standalone?
companion?
notifications?
pedometer?
etc...
i myself would never buy any of the u8/u10 watches, it's near impossible to get support for them
and with the recent discovery of clones of these crappy watches....
no experience with zgpax, so can't really advice you on any of the mentioned watches

Thanks for your reply. I would be looking to use it for standalone, companion, notifications. Are there any other watches you recommend?
Moto 360 is my suggestion.
Other smartwatchs
Why the zgpax s8? zgpax s5 can have a upgradeable battery from the 500mah it comes with to a 700mah.
The z watch by smartq works great to both run Android either 4.3 or 4.4
But the u8,u8 Pro and u10 are all about the same and they are cheap in quality and price wise, so I wouldn't buy them either.
and it all still depends on your price range as well z watch is between $75-120, while the zgpax s5, s6, and s8 range from $120 to $160 but all of them have a lot of support threads on here. I think the zgpax s5 has its own big thread with daily posts.
Well, I have the s8. don't know If you're still looking but I'm loving it. I spent $180 for mine. I'm rooted and preset the watch to 4.4.4.... So all my apps can upgrade. Now I have Google now cards with Nova launcher and use nils notifier with android L cards.

How do you make apps for such smartwatches
Hi, may be this thread is not the right one but, anyway, i am curious to find out how do you make apps for such smartwatches. This watches are not powered by android, so how is it done ?
I think its the same as the proprietary systems, every mobile phone had before ios and android existed. Most apps/games you could get back then were java based I think.

Not the hands on review, but we are receiving it real soon and will post here full review too.
PS: parcel is on transit and will arrive soon at our office
Did you receive it? I ordered one yesterday, i hope to play with it soon
I just received yesterday one from Tinydeal at the cost of 18 Euro. Is a fanny chinese watch with colored led all around and the usually chinese music when power on/off the device.
The HRM work more or less fine, at this time I don't have made any test just turning in the menus.
If you are looking for the NO. 1 D3 ROM in your language please look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66580126&postcount=287
Hey, any news for installing or running apps? I have NO1 D3, i have readback and ROM, but i don't know how to edit ROM of this smartwatch...
First off, I've done about a day of research and I'm amazed by the sheer number of Chinese smartwatches there are on Aliexpress.
Back story: I came from an Apple watch which I bought with the idea "function over form". Soon enough, the square shape started to bother me so I sold it. Also, the fact that you can't choose custom watchfaces on a $700 watch is just plain ridiculous.
I kinda thought I was going to stick to plain watches (I'm somewhat of a collector), but I miss the notifications. So I started looking for a round alternative that works with my iPhone and supports custom watchfaces. I first checked out Android Wear (I like the look of the Huawei Watch), but quickly learned that you can't load custom watchfaces by default on iPhone. I know there's a huge workaround for that, but I don't want to bother with that honestly.
So I started looking into these Chinese smartwatches. The problem is, that you either seem to have a companion watch (without SIM) where you can't change watchfaces, or you have a phone watch (with SIM) with customizable watchfaces. I don't need nor want a watch with a seperate SIM card. My requirements are simple: round shape, no sim, notifications, customizable watchfaces. Siri & calling from the watch would be a big plus. I don't want to spend more than $100 on the watch though.
I already ordered a No. 1 G5 since I liked the look and read somewhere that you can indeed change the faces (limited to 2), but the resources are so damn limited that I'm not so sure anymore. Officially, No. 1 says that custom watchfaces aren't supported. And then there's the question of getting extra data in the faces, like date etc. It doesn't seem the G5 supports this, if it supports custom faces at all. At this point, I'm utterly confused.
So is there somebody who can help a poor soul out?
I'm looking for a smartwatch for about $100. I might be willing to go up to $150. Refurb or used is fine. I definitely would like something thats got a fairly acurate hear rate monitor and step counter. Ecg and blood 02 would be nice but probably asking a bit much in this price range. I don't care about taking calls on my watch but do want the ability to atleast see who is calling and the option to answer or reject would be nice. If my Tinwoo Smartwatch from Amazon for $40 can do it, I dint for see that being an issue. A keyboard function on the watch would be nice. It definitely need to receive notifications for the Workplace Messenger by Facebook app. Any advice? Oh and ill be paring it with a Samsung Note 10+.
Check information over in the smartwatch forum:

Sadly the xda mobile app claims the forum doesn't exist when trying to start a thread there.
I don't use or know about the app. Noticed this thread and watch discussion:
What smart watch to buy?

forum.xda-developers.com
I appreciate the response but don't really see much useful information there. I see links to youtube review playlists, which would be great if I wanted to spend 10 hours watching reviews. Other than that, I see what seems like a reasonable statement. There is no smartwatch that will truly tick all the bells and whistles. Also, when it comes to many of the Chinese variants available, you have a 50-50 chance on any one particular model as to whether it it works good or works like cheap knock-off tech. So I was looking for suggestions on a watch that ticks the particular boxes I am looking for. From there, all I can do is order and pray for a good batch.
