The Atongm W007 is another budget friendly Smartwatch that can be used to view SMS’s, reply to SMS’s, check notifications and even make / receive calls. The W007 will connect with your Smartphone via Bluetooth and works with Smartphones running Android 4.0 and over.
Box pack
The Atongm box pack contains the watch (available in different colours – I got the orange one), screen guard, user guide (English), data cable and travel charger.
Design and Display
The build quality and finishing is very good and the design gives it a very premium look. Yes it does look like the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch, but features are not exactly the same. Atongm W007 weight is 53 grams with battery and is 10.74 mm thick.
The watch body is made of plastic – the top is with metallic silver finishing surrounding the almost black screen. The watch strap is orange color that matches up with the watch body. The strap is made of good quality rubber. You can easily replace the strap if needed.
There is no SIM and Micro SD card slot, the 3.5mm audio jack is also missing. Micro USB port is on the right along with power button. Volume rockers are on the left side. There is a 2MP camera on the front top curve and microphone on the front bottom curve. Loud speaker is placed just beneath the power button.
The battery comes built in, there is no easy way to open up the back cover but there are screws to remove the back cover, if needed.
Touch screen is 1.54 inches with 240 x 240 pixels resolution. Screen is scratch resistant to a very small extent better use the provided screen guard. This Smartwatch screen will not auto switch on when you twist your arm – you will need to do it by pressing the power button or the volume rockers. Alerts are via ringtones and vibrations. Touch is smooth / responsive and viewing are also good. Screen is visible under sunlight when set to maximum brightness.
Storage
This Smartwatch internal memory is not mentioned anywhere, but it does comes with 8GB of internal storage. RAM I guess will be 256MB or probably 512MB. You can connect the watch to the Desktop / Laptop and access the storage area (choose mass storage option on the watch once connected).
Performance
The W007 watch is using the MTK6260A processor. The performance is good and smooth. The speaker volume is decent – Ringtones are very loud but the in-call sound via the same speaker is a pretty low. The in-call sound is hardly audible in noisy conditions but performs well in silent room or in a car. In noisy environments you might want to bring the speaker closer to your ear.
You will need to pair the watch with your smartphone and also install the Atongm W007 app ).
Camera
There is a 2MP fixed focus camera on the rear. The quality is below average. The camera app comes with a lot of settings and you can also record videos. There is another app that allows you to remote control the smartphone camera. You can use the Smartwatch to view and capture images via the smartphone without touching it.
Entertainment
There is built in storage of 8GB. You can store MP3’s and even video files. You can watch MP4 video with 640×360 pixels resolution. 720p videos did not work. You can play MP3 / videos via built in speaker or via Bluetooth headset. However since you can connect only one device you will need to disconnect the smartphone before connected the Bluetooth headset with the W007 smartwatch.
Others
There is Pedometer to track you fitness activities, sleep monitor, anti lost feature (watch will ring and vibrate when smartphone is out of Bluetooth range), Multi Time Zone, Music / video player, drink (water) alert and push notifications.
Battery
The battery mAh capacity is not known. The battery backup is okay. If you are using too many notifications then the battery will drain faster. I disabled all notifications except for SMS’s, calls and Whatsapp that way I got better battery backup. If you are continuously using the watch with screen on the battery will drain in less than 3 to 4 hours. With normal usage you can expect up to a day of battery backup. The Smartwatch can be fully charged in under 2 hours.
Verdict
The Atongm W007 smartwatch can make and receive calls from the watch itself, without having to access your smartphones. This works best when you are busy and want to avoid distractions e.g. while driving. You can also easily access the contents on the watch. This W007 watch supports multiple languages including Hindi.
It is a good watch for the price of $86.17 available from GearBest.com you can use the coupon code (GBAWCN) and get it for $69.99 for limited period only. Shipping and Customs will be extra. Custom charges will be under Rs. 2000.
