Great Smart Watch at a great price!
This smart watch is awesome! It was packed well. The touch screen is great and responsive. The battery life is amazing! I charged it when I first received it (about 3 weeks ago) and have not had to recharge it yet. The different physical activities tags/icons are easy to get to and include many different choices from walking running, cycling, basketball, etc. They allow you to see approximately how many calories you burn during your time in each specific activity. This watch also measures and logs your BP, heart rate, sleep quality, and oxygen saturation among other measurements. You can Bluetooth connect it to your phone and listen to audio and receive mesaages and calls. You can take pictures with it also. The swipe, to get to different screens, works well and is pretty intuitive. It appears well made for the price and is very durable. Has a nice "trail" look. The price to features and benefits ratio is outstanding. Calls sound great. I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a feature filled smart watch at a very reasonable price.

Does what I need it to do (tell time and control music) as well as check vitals.
I have had the smart watch a few days now and so far I am pretty happy with what I have gotten. First off let me tell you a little bit about how I do things and my philosophy. I am a geek, I am also usually broke. I love to do things in a particular fashion and often listen to music. I am currently in the process of taking a house that was purchased for 18,000 and turning it into a nice home. There was ZERO insulation, the electrical system was still knob and tube, and the plumbing system was not only shot but things were hooked up incorrectly (the water heater was plumbed backwards.) I don’t have a ton of cash but I do have some brains and have done a ton of work myself. The current job is replacing a section of the roof and is part of the reason why I wanted a smart watch. I also hate to make a purchase and then end up spending more later on to buy another device that I really want so I tend to make my initial purchase as cheap as I can. I also love to DIY things so what I have has to be able to keep up with my projects.I previously owned an Asus ZenWatch 2 that died a few months after my wife passed away when I went for a swim in saltwater. I was very bummed and during the year after my wife’s death I killed 2 phones, my smart watch, and blew the head gasket in my vehicle. I was in a bad place and have had other priorities with cash. I wish I could wait longer to purchase the smart watch I really want but I can not afford the Garmin MK2i that I really want so I purchased the ALKAI to use till I can. I want something to use for SCUBA diving as well as other stuff which is the reason why I desire the MK2i but something that gives me a step counter, the time, and the ability to control my music as well as survive a hop in the shower or a swim when I can is what I need and so far this smart watch has done just that.So a rundown of what I have done with this smart watch on. I have torn off a 8’ by 20’ section of roof that had 4 layers, replaced that with a 7/16 sheathing, underlayment and a new architectural shingle. I built a box that is 4’ X 8’ X 8” using 7/16” with a 2X4 frame and 7/16” dividers which has been insulated with 2” thick foam sheets which are capped with ¼” paneling, the interior painted black, and capped with a sheet of plexiglass to make a solar collector. I would say I have a solid 8 hours each day of either working or getting things ready to get to work. Did I mention that I did all of the roof with only 1 ground support and a 28’ ladder? It may not sound like much if you have never done the work before but believe me it’s a long hot miserable day of pounding nails, driving screws, and hoping you don’t mess things up putting the roof on and it’s an entire day of ripping and tearing 2 layers of asphalt shingles and 2 layers of cedar shake and then pulling out the pincushion of nails that is left behind.After all that and showering in the evenings I can say this smart watch has survived and I am quite happy with the purchase. That in and of itself is an accomplishment to me and I would say that if you need something to work with because you are worried about tearing up something nice this will work out well. As an added bonus you can keep track of your heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen while you work. I also tested the watch against a wrist mounted blood pressure cuff and a finger mounted blood oxygen tester which both gave me heart rate information. I don’t think it’s a substitute for a regular checkup but for the most part was pretty close to the readings I took with dedicated devices. The heart rate and blood oxygen levels were nearly identical and the blood pressure was within 5 points when measured at the same time on opposite wrists.Did I mention that in 7 days I only charged it once? Actually when it arrived the battery was around 75% and I used it for a couple days before charging and then when it got to around 50% I topped it up and continued to use the smart watch for 5 more days and it is now sitting at around 55% battery left with everything that I have been doing including an entire day of having the smart watch measure my heart rate every 30 minutes. So battery life is amazing as my Asus ZenWatch 2 wouldn’t even make it a full 24 hours before needing to be charged.I also listen to music while I work and have a pair of Anker Soundcore 2’s that go with me when I am working on a project or a pair of Anker Life P3’s that I use when I am just walking or doing things without help. I use Plex Media Server to hold all of my music and the PlexAmp app to play music from my phone. Thankfully this smart watch was able to interface with my phone (Galaxy S21) and PlexAmp to be able to control the music as from time to time I will get something in a playlist that I have no clue why it would have been added and I want to look and see what it is and skip over while my phone is sitting on something about 20 feet away from where I am at and climbing down to check everything is way too much of a pain to deal with than to just let it go. So if you are a Plex user this smart watch user will work with your media.The one thing I did not really use and may be interesting for others is the sleep mode. I tried it one night and it seemed to work ok but as with other smart watches I have used the screen turns on at random times if you move, I have a tough time sleeping and having a watch on my wrist at night alone causes me to wake up at random times and having the screen come on just doesn’t work for me so after the first night I just took it off and let it sit on the dresser. I am sure a lot of people out there can easily deal with it but for me sleep has always been an issue. I can count on one hand the number of times I have actually slept in a moving vehicle (car, truck, bus, plane, train) in the last 35 years because I feel the movement and can not sleep. Even having a radio on low or a light on in a room can keep me awake. However if you don’t have this type of issues I am sure you will be fine, if not maybe the developer will figure a way to find out android’s sleep mode and automatically keep the screen off unless a button is clicked.I was also not able to test the water depth claims at this time but will be doing so in January when I have a couple days of diving coming up and will report back with my results then so expect to hear something around the beginning of February from that trip.Phone calls and audio played through the smart watch are not all that great but that is pretty standard with such a small speaker available and lets be honest, a set of noise canceling earbuds will be much more useful than a smart watch for something like this.With all that said I would recommend this as a purchase if you need something to just do some basic features with the benefit of having the health monitoring functions. Most smart watches are there to be used as an extension of your smart device not to replace it and this smart watch does that quite well for me and IMHO will work well for most people. Plus it’s at a price point where I don’t have to worry too much about the cash spent when I do eventually have the chance to upgrade my dive computer to something that will also be my smart watch. And it's possible that I will keep using this from time to time even after I have upgraded or will end up giving it to my neighbors son.

Excellent watch and features for the money
The health readings are a nice feature, but somewhat inaccuate. The blood pressure readings, in a range of 8, compared to my Omron blood pressure machine (which could very well not be perfectly accurate either), the Systolic was low by 29%. The Diastolic, over the same range, was low by 6%. The heart rate reading was high by 2 - 3%. The blood oxygen saturation was a little high compared to my meter. I have hypertension and COPD so I will not rely on this watch alone for my health readings.Still in all, I am very pleased with this watch.
