Hello brother, Your welcome
My version >>> " Made in China "

I thought it would make sense to add my reviews so far on the XZ Premium. I have done a dedicated camera review and audio review. I have a main review finished for tomorrow.
My audio review covers all the audio options, quality and best headphones to use - https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/08/19/sony-xperia-xz-premium-audio-review-the-best-headphones-to-use/
And this is my camera review, with camera app, camera showcase and analysis - https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/08/18/sony-xperia-xz-premium-detailed-camera-review-and-showcase/
And finally my main review which covers all the other aspects. Any questions just ask.

Google Imacwear M702 its the 2Gen of this watch and there is no support I've came across yet other than the thread I started.
I understand, but what is the different between the first and second Gen. Only Android and the watch is more expensive as the first Gen.?
Why not buy from chinavision? They have v2 for 159 USD.
Does anyone have a imacwear M7 manual to share? The M7 is not accepting my sim card and I am not sure of the correct procedure. Please advise the procedure to insert the sim card. I place the metal downwards, however, the slot might be too big and needs padding.
There's a thread for the imacwear M7, you guys.

i like the idea that is water resistant but is it like the D5 or Wear watch?
okay, i've talked to a seller that i've purchased from him before and he is the seller that also sells chargers and any other parts for these standalone watches and he is selling the i2 and i understood that it is a standalone watch and has a sim slot and the google apps store ammmm....maybe i'll buy too i like watches... 150$ is not that bad.

"3G" is pretty vague. Anybody found what 3G frequencies it supports?
Nevermind- 2100MHz only and 15mm thick. I'll pass.

I completely agree with your observations, and I could also add that I don't like the design, but 3 points are worthy of some close examination:
1- The watch has the newer MTK6580 SoC which is a quad-core (!!!) and already has support for Android 5.x
2- The watch has Android 5.1
3- The watch seems to have very interesting new features in his watch faces, look at the attached images.

Very interesting pictures. It looks like the watch face has touchable areas for calls and messages. Perhaps that means this is more of a full tethering watch than the D5/K8 class. My budget is pretty well shot for buying new watches, but I tell you what. If any of you are inclined to contact the seller @soniasophie9697 suggests and recommend they send a sample unit to me for a SmartWatchTicks YouTube review before you make a decision to buy, I'll do you right and run it through the mill, including taking it apart and looking inside. Hey, worth a try! The reason I ask is I *may* have two other vendors sending me two new watches for review to get them some exposure, so this concept might be catching on. We'll see. Here's sonia's link again: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016..._9&btsid=d33f34da-3626-4e07-8b0e-a93184485b7c

No, not unless you have replacement bands with antennas in them.
2100MHz is ok for Europe .
but i am only interested in this device if there are enough donations for Loki that he would pimp the rom
The company behind this watch (as referred by @cyrux75) calls this watch the Q1 and has a video on it here:

Wow - that's a chunky beast !!
I contacted them to see if they would be interested in letting out some samples.

yep, but it's good to know that now there will be upgraded android watches, i just wish that more apps will suit these watches since the community of users is big. i do'nt want the Wear watch not because of the price but because it is not usable without the phone and the gear s\s2 do'nt have many apps for them.

Yeah, I'll be watching with interest :good:
IQI, the supplier, I know personally.
Just to be clear, there is no Google of any sort, according to IQI. They say they want to partner with some US companies willing to provide Google.
I would suggest their M200 model, it is thinner.

Sad part is they can't, at least legally. Google has gone after a couple of makers and has made it very clear that no full Android smartwatch can have Google Services. It's either their private Club Wear or nothing.

Are No.1, FINOW, and ZGPAX treading on thin ice then? All three offer full GPS (Google Play Services) complete with updates through the GPS (Google Play Store). Seems like Google would cut them off the update process at a minimum. Something doesn't add up.

Here the issue. In China, where these watches come from, Google has little power. The Chinese laws regarding IP are, well, fluid. Companies are more or less left to keep their stuff secret and if pilfered, "to bad, so sad". Start making waves outside of China and it's a different game. For example;
Omate was including Google apps on their Omate TS, Google didn't notice. Omate got popular and covered very heavily in the press and Google took notice. An "oh no you don't" from Google and . . . Google apps "disappear" from the TS and are hidden behind a "secret code". Google catches wind of this and Omate gets a "we should talk". After that, Google apps are removed completely.
Tons of devices are released every year with some of them being different by only a couple of lines in the build.prop. If Google said, "no more w812a"s get access", the ODM can change that line to say "W812a" then "w812A" and so on. Multiply that by the hundreds of different Android devices that come out of China every year. Another thing to consider is that, at least for smartwatches, without official certifications there is no interest by app devs as a whole to support these devices. This leaves these devices without properly formatted apps which kills interest for most folks.
So little to no western market presence is both a blessing (Google doesn't take notice) and a curse (less sales).

Ulefone GW01 smartwatch

Hi everyone..
Im new in the smartwatch..
Im looking a smartwatch that can change clock skin, without sim and circular shape.
I found W3 amoled smartwatch..base on what im reading..i need to flash HOwear rom before i can use it..
I found Mlais in pre order state..couldnt take the risk without knowing how it perform even on paper everyhing looks good and promising
And lastly i found this Ulefone GW01.
Interesting to buy this Ulefone GW01, but i cant find much info about it. So litle youtube video about it
Available at GB, cant post the link as im new here
There is a few website do a review, all give good conclussion. I would like to know more about this watch like everyday experience..what i want to know most is it can push all my notifications and clear voice call over quality over bluetooth.
Please anyone who might know about this share ur experience.
Tq and regards

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.

as for ulefone gw01 changing watch faces i found someone ask on a youtube
Does it supports installing new watchfaces?
Gearbest reply: No but it has different watch face for you to choose.

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..

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..
