[Q] Recommendation. Fake U8, what should I replace with?

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.

[Q] Which Smartwatch?

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.

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.

IWO Watch 5 - where to buy?

So seen the IWO Watch 5 online on the usual sites (aliexpress etc), however, wondering who the manufacturer is and whether I can purchase direct?
Seems to be a lot of resellers online and issues with software etc - so would be great to hear if there's a trusted source with fair price.
This may be a very noob question so apologies - I really like the apple watch styling but I'm on Android (and thats not changing..)
Any help appreciated!

Mirror Link on G4?

SOLVED ...
I have been assured by Lenovo forum that Motorola;s do not support mirrorlink.
so sadly it's bye bye G4 - a great phone that has served me well
.............................................................................
hi,
does anyone know if it's possible to mirrorlink my G4 to an android car head unit?
a while ago I saw something on google that said Motorola phones do not support mirrorlink,
but have seen many inexpensive head units on ebay that say they have mirrorlink for androids only

W26 Smartwatches

Hi!
Does anyone know if there is any possibility to put another rom or use another app than the official one on these W26 watches?
I'm talking about Lemfo or Iwo W26.
Hardware doesn't look bad but software is awful.
Thanks in advance!
I cant find anything for this watch too. Perhaps we're searching for the wrong terms?

I had mine delivered today (I got it as I'm moving away from Apple). The watch faces included are fairly average and I was hoping to find a good wxp. Unfortunately it doesn't have enough space available to actually install any.
I'd love to see a custom firmware will most of the watch faces removed to allow for the inclusion of others.
EDIT: I'll add that the official Apple Watch bands work with these watches - which is pretty cool
Hi All! First post here... Hey, were you able to get any reasonable measure out of the blood pressure/temperature/heart rate sensor? It seems completely fake to me. It seems to show pseudo random values around some mean. Even the charts you can see they're no more than a bunch of looped animations. It behaves the same if you strap it to a tree branch.
I was wondering maybe I just got a watch with an early or demo firmware version... But every reviewer I found on youtube just seems to play retard ignoring the fact or hiding it one way or another.
Please, could you confirm or deny your own watches's sensors to be fake?
Thanks in advance!

The heart rate sensor does appear to be doing "something" - that is, if I don't have it on my wrist, it doesn't record a heart rate. But comparing the recordings with an apple watch (series 0) the values are not that accurate. The graph that is displayed in the heart rate app is just an animation and doesn't reflect the actual heart rate.
Saying that, I purchased the watch as a cheap replacement - for I'm leaving Apple's ecosystem - but this watch isn't the replacement. I will wear it though as it does have 3 days of battery (if auto wake is off), and I do get notifications from my phone, so it has that.
What I would like is the ability to use a different watch face - but trying to upload custom watch faces all fail with insufficient space. Oh well. Get what you pay for.
EDIT: I've just done a quick test:
1. remove the watch from my wrist and placed it on the desk
2. start the heart rate app
3. observe a heart rate in the high 70s to mid 80s
4. realise that the HR monitor on this watch is BS.
5. accept the fact that the HR monitor on this watch is BS and don't use the watch for HR monitoring.

Hello, Does anyone know how to update the version rom (firmware)? help meeee, I tried some code and MediaTek app, but still can't... help me pls! thanks!!
I guess in life, we get what we pay for.
This watch is a cheap toy. It may resemble an Apple watch in appearance
but functionally it does not even come close. If anything it is a fashion accessory
rather than a functional device. None of the health sensors work. The firmware can never be updated.
Battery life is atrocious. This little device only does three things.
Tell time, give notifications, and oddly, you can make and receive calls.
And it actually does those things very well. But for $30 USD what did I expect?
Yep, sounds just like a $30 toy watch
