SmartQ Z Watch - The "Real" Smartwatch


The Z Watch lived up to the nice looking design shown in the rendered images and it comes at low price point, in China for 699 RMB (115 USD) on pre-order before the official launch. Im sure the price will be half one year later but that is the premium you pay to join the hype early.
The reason say "real" smartwatch is because many other MKT based "smartwatches" displayed at the fair are just stripped mobile phones squeeze into old not-so-good-looking mobile watches design sold in shzenshen for years, called mobile phone watch.
The Ingenic JZ4775 1.0GHz, a low-power processor solution used in Z Watch is better optimized for low power consumption which should offer much better battery life compared to the phone watches that will soon pop up on webites stores ike mushrooms after a rainy day.....this time rebranded as smartwatch.
Lets see how short the advertised 18 000 min battery life are in practice using the Z Watch
through the day. What we know is that is takes about 30min to charge the 300mAh battery via USB.
