Ourtime XS01 quick review:
Hey guys and girls,
Just wanted to give you a quick overview of the Ourtime X01S watch i got for 80$ on Gearbest last week. I am not gonna bore you with too many details and i’ll try to be concise. So, here we go:
Specs:

-Built quality: 4/5 Bezel is metal and the feel is fantastic. The screen glass can get a bit smudgy and the leather bands are nice but nothing to get excited about.
-Looks: 3.5\5 This watch looks great but… You need to have big wrists to wear this! It’s huge and manly. The look is classy and modern, friends who saw me wearing that watch were impressed.
-Performance: 3.7\5 Watch performs pretty good and opening apps or scrolling down the menus is a breeze. All extended settings in Android are accessible due to the square design and most Android settings can be accessed like you would on a normal Android phone. But… NO MEDIA VOLUME… Keep that in mind. Also, the overall sound of this watch through the speaker is pretty low, even in Outdoor mode. On Bluetooth, the sound is good, so better have your Bluetooth headset close by. I used a Volume Booster app to achieve slightly better results.
Battery life: 3/5 It’s kind of a mixed bag here… I got 12 hours of battery life in general with a few calls and check of notifications and i was once able to get 16 hours easily on a day with less activity. The watch had 2 occasions where it was at 30% and suddenly went down to 0% in 2 min.
-GPS: GPS works fine outdoor, i was able to go running with it a few times and the GPS was pretty good and stable on most occasions. You should wait until you get a full signal before starting your activity though. You can use GPS Data app in order to validate signal strenght before you head out for your favorite activity.
-External Storage: 4/5 I was able to add a 32 GB SD CARD in the watch and load it with music. This is on top of the already available 8 gb (5.6 gb after OS and apps installed)
-Software: 5/5 The Android implementation is solid. The best i have seen so far (if you like close to stock Android experience). Most basic apps are there and work well. I am thinking SMS, Contact and Schedule for instance which will work with Exchange natively…
So, all in all, a solid value for the money if you are not afraid of it’s size!
Hope you found this review useful
