Does Bluetooth connectivity to headsets function properly? Always speaking to your wrist can be annoying.
I purchased a K9 with android 4.4.4 for a friend and she says wifi isn’t working. Actually she says wifi networks are not even coming up. Is there any initial updates that need to be done before wifi works on these watches?
Actually, no initial update is needed. It should work out of the box. It seems your smartwatch has some issues with WiFi. Try to check any firmware update is available for the watch or not. Sometimes an update can solve many issues.

I have this smartwatch. It does not come with google play but there are wireless updates. The last update installed google play. Be sure to use a battery saver program or the watch might not last long. You can then use google play to install apps from the net directly to the watch. It’s sturdy and I use it at the gym for music and I will probably also use sworkit app for my jump training with it. After installing the avast battery program I can charge at 10 AM and then use it for music in the gym and then it will last the rest of the day (very light usage and I had about 56% battery life the next morning. Not bad.
the watch is pretty fat, isn’t it?
Thank you for the review. I am wondering with average use, how long does the battery last?
It should last around 15 to 18 hours.
Thanks for the review.
– Is the heart rate monitor 24×7 continuous or only when you manualy activate it?
– Is it possible to install other apps on the watch via Google Play Store, like new watch faces or gps apps?
Thanks in advance,
David
1) Heart Rate Monitor: You need to manually activate it.
2) Yes, you can install app from google play. The google play app is not installed by default. You need to install that also.
Can you tether/pair this to your phone to make and receive calls/text messages?
No, you can’t. This is a independent watch phone.
