Lenovo Watch 9 Wristband

Lenovo Watch 9, smartwatch ibrido con autonomia di 1 ANNO!

Lenovo Watch 9 è il nuovo smartwatch ibrido dell'azienda cinese. Compatibile sia con Android che iOS, è caratterizzato da un prezzo di listino estremamente contenuto. Questo però non ha impedito di integrare buona parte delle funzionalità che sarebbe lecito attendersi da un prodotto di questo genere.

Da un punto di vista prettamente estetico, trattandosi di uno smartwatch ibrido, si presenta come un comune orologio, con tanto di quadrante analogico protetto da un vetro zaffiro. La cassa è realizzata in acciaio inossidabile, mentre i cinturini sono in silicone con aggancio da 22 mm, per cui tranquillamente sostituibili. Due le varianti cromatiche disponibili, ovvero bianco e nero.

Come detto in apertura, Lenovo Watch 9 integra delle funzionalità smart. Attraverso una vibrazione, impostabile tramite l'apposita app da installare sullo smartphone, è possibile gestire allarmi, sveglie e ricezione delle notifiche. Queste ultime, essendoci un quadrante analogico, andranno lette direttamente sul dispositivo mobile accoppiato. Ma non è tutto.

Lenovo Watch 9 infatti è in grado di contare i passi, monitorare il sonno e le calorie bruciate, scattare selfie in remoto dallo smartphone semplicemente scuotendo l'orologio. Non mancano inoltre tutta una serie di funzionalità legate in maniera specifica al mondo sportivo (gestibili attraverso l'app), tra le quali spiccano quelle per gli sport acquatici vista l'impermeabilità fino a 50 metri di profondità.

L'azienda cinese non ha trascurato neanche l'aspetto dell'autonomia, spesso tallone d'Achille per gli smartwatch. In fase di presentazione si è parlato di una durata della batteria di ben 12 mesi (si, avete capito bene) con una singola carica. Del resto, avendo a disposizione un quadrante analogico, è praticamente assente il consumo causato dallo schermo.

Infine, prezzi e disponibilità. Lenovo Watch 9 sarà in vendita a partire dal 23 marzo nel mercato asiatico. Per acquistarlo saranno necessari 129 yuan, circa 17 euro al cambio, una cifra davvero contenuta considerando quanto offerto. Non è escluso che possa essere commercializzato anche in Europa. Attendiamo comunicazioni da parte dell'azienda cinese.

Lenovo Watch 9 without display

No display? But how do we service the Watch 9 from Lenovo? This is done mostly through the app. Only the button on the side is used, for example, to trigger the camera remote control as soon as you have selected them in the app. Set time, show steps or measure the pulse are all the task of the app - at least the display.

Because the Lenovo Watch 9 is not only a classic, analog clock, but of course has a bit more technology installed. In the stainless steel case, for example, there is a pedometer, the result shows the clock with the second hand in the lower half of the dial. There are percentages available. So the clock shows you what percentage of your individual step goal you have achieved.

In addition, there is also a vibration alarm inside, which can be used either as an alarm clock or for incoming calls and notifications. Just like other fitness trackers, the integrated motion sensors also measure your sleep behavior. The app then provides you with a sleep analysis the next day on your smartphone.

In addition to these sensors Bluetooth 5.0 also sits in the clock, which allows the coupling with your smartphone. Bluetooth 5.0 as the latest standard for Bluetooth also plays the battery life in the cards. And that is also the greatest strength of the Lenovo Watch 9. The manufacturer states that the Fitness Tracker offers a term of about one year! This is possible because no display was installed. For this you do not have to charge the clock, but after a year, replace the battery.

It has a nice design and looks really well when wearing it. Esp. the white one.
I really like the inside of the watch. It's quite thick when looking at it from the sides. It's a bit heavy for the strap that it comes with. The strap is made out of really, really soft silicone and it looks a bit cheap imo.
The corners where the strap is attached to the watch are a bit sharp.
Overall it's not a bad watch. It's great that it has smart watch features as well.
If you want a SMART watch, then watch 9 is not for you. But if you want a regular watch that offers something more, then it's a good choice. The waterproof feature does not offer you protection in seawater. In order to calibrate the watch to show the correct time. You have to insert the time that you see on the watch and not the real time.

Serious Cons:
Instructions are in Chinese.
It took me forever to connect it to my phone (the location must be on) and to figure out how to fix the time.
The material of the watch and strap could have been better for the 35 euros that it costs. I bought it on a flash sale at 17 euros and that's a good price for it. Any other amount of money over 20 euros, simply doe not worth it.
I waited forever for it to arrive. I usually get the orders in 15 days. Something is not going right lately GB..

Was mir an diesem Schrittzähler gefällt: Er sieht nicht aus, wie einer. Die Aufmachung und Optik entsprechen einer ganz einfachen Analoguhr. Das Tagesziel wird auf Anfrage mittels dem Sekundenzeiger dargestellt.

Der Alarm vibriert etwa 20 Sekunden und hört dann wieder auf. Als Erinnerung tagsüber okay, aber als Wecker (zumindest für mich) unbrauchbar.

Der Wechsel der Batterie ist ohne entsprechendes Werkzeug nicht durchführbar. Versucht man es trotzdem mit Schraubenzieher, Messer oder ähnlichem, ist das Resultat nur ein verkratztes Gehäuse. Immerhin an der Unterseite, man sieht die Spuren also nicht.

Das Silikon-Armband ist wohl Geschmackssache, mir hat es aber weder optisch noch haptisch gefallen. Vor allem Die Schließe war ein Graus und drückte schmerzhafte Abdrücke in meinen Arm. Ich habe es letztlich durch ein Lederarmband ersetzt, das genauso teuer war, wie die Uhr selbst.

Die Android-App läuft an vielen Stellen nicht ganz rund. So habe ich es bis heute nicht geschafft, das Tagesziel auf 10.000 Schritte einzustellen. Die Schlafdauer lässt sich ebenfalls nicht anpassen. Die App quittiert beides mit "Set failed". Auch die persönlichen Einstellungen (Alter, Gewicht usw.) lassen sich nicht ändern. Die App quittiert den Versuch mit "UnSupport modify". Möglicherweise ist die iPhone-App nicht von diesen Problemen betroffen.

Alles in allem aber eine schöne Uhr mit Schrittzähler, vor allem zu diesem Preis.

I was looking for a budget regular watch for daily use and stumbled upon the Lenovo Watch 9 by mere coincidence. I got convinced fairly quickly and bought it while in Flash Sale.
It was delivered exactly 2 weeks after in perfect condition and I'm extremely satisfied with it.
Its minimalist design is a masterpiece from Lenovo and, although it can do only a few "smart things", for the price it really delivers quality.
The sleep tracker is very decent and the step counter as well. I haven't tested notifications yet, but the smart alarm is a cool feature if you want to wake up before the alarm clock goes off.
Beware: it doesn't have a heart rate monitor, but supposedly the app can measure it with the phone camera (I haven't tested it, I'm not interested).
The Bluetooth connection isn't very stable, but since I defined very strict rules on my Android regarding permissions on all apps, I'll give it a chance that that might be the cause (yet to test if it is or not).
Overall, I wanted a regular watch and got a little piece of great design from Lenovo with one or two cool features I wasn't exactly looking for at first. But since it is cheaper that most of the budget watches on my country, it was a good deal for the money: I got a beautiful watch with Bluetooth.
Looking forward for more deals like this one!

L'idea di avere un orologio ibrido, dall'aspetto classico ma con qualche funzione smart, fa gola a molti... A dire il vero è ciò che mi ha spinto a comprare Lenovo Watch.
Peccato che il lato smart sia inesistente.

Da un punto di vista costruttivo ed estetico è molto piacevole, il vetro è spesso, il design elegante, la plastica del cinturino è di buona qualità ed il ticchettio si sente appena.
Tutto sommato vale il suo prezzo anche solo come orologio... se lo trovate in saldo a 20 euro.
Unica nota negativa: le tacchette delle ore sono tono su tono, antracite su nero,  si vedono veramente poco.

Da un punto di vista smart non ci siamo proprio invece.
La sincronizzazione dell'orario con il telefono è macchinosa e spesso non funziona, ci ho messo una giornata per impostare l'ora ( non si può fare manualmente).

Per sfruttare le funzioni "Smart" bisogna connetterlo via Bluetooth al telefono, fin qui tutto regolare, peccato perda la connessione in continuazione.
La funzione ricezione chiamata (l'orologio dovrebbe vibrare) funziona 1 volta su 3.
La funzione cerca telefono ha svolto il suo compito i primi due giorni, ora non va.
L'applicazione per Android? Vi basta fare un giro su Google Play per leggere le recensioni.

Bocciato.
Peccato perché il concept su cui doveva basarsi era eccellente. Se avessero investito di può sul lato smart sarebbe stato un best buy.

Lenovo ha anunciado el lanzamiento de un reloj inteligente diferente. Se llama Lenovo Watch 9 y es un smartwatch híbrido. ¿Qué significa híbrido? Que es un reloj analógico con características inteligentes. A diferencia de otros relojes inteligentes, el Watch 9 no tiene pantalla. Se conecta al smartphone mediante una aplicación dedicada. Además, vibra para informarnos de notificaciones, es resistente al agua y compatible con iOS y Android. El Lenovo Watch 9 llegará a China el 23 de marzo con un precio de 129 yuanes, lo que se traduce en unos 17 euros.

Generalmente los relojes inteligentes suelen ser dispositivos bastante caros. Cuentan con pantallas OLED, muchos sensores e incluso su propio sistema operativo. Sin embargo, no todos los usuarios necesitan todas esas funcionalidades. De ahí que surjan las pulseras cuantificadoras y otras opciones. Para este tipo de usuarios es el Lenovo Watch 9.

Estamos ante un reloj analógico, pero que esconde algunas funciones inteligentes. En la parte delantera tiene un cristal de zafiro con una dureza 9H. El resto del cuerpo del reloj está fabricado en acero inoxidable, mientras que la correa es de silicona. Además, el Lenovo Watch 9 es sumergible hasta 50 metros

Lenovo Watch 9 combines the perfect design that will pull the buyer at first sight. Watch enthusiasts will love its royal, black design and exterior and will desire to keep it as a must-have in their collection. An ergonomic design which is suitable for everyday wear, its outer body is entirely mechanical, with electronic integration. It is so designed as to minimize discomfort.
The product is blessed with the use of pure sapphire mirror glass, with up to 9H hardness, just next to diamond. Like dewdrops on the green grass, the watch has excellent transparency. Crystal clear, the time is visible. The exterior of the watch is so well made, that sunlight, rays, and humidity doesn’t leave any blurry marks on the glass.
To give the product extra protection and resistant to scratches, the shell is made up of hard steel and has zinc alloy sandblasting. On top of it, the Lenovo watch 9 wristbands have undergone vacuum ion plating procedures. This makes it resilient towards external forces and pressure.

Suggestion

Waterproof only under specific temperatures (chance of getting damaged under higher pressure)

The Lenovo watch 9 is armed with all the possible features it can contain to stand out from the rest, regarding design, making and quality. Data transmission is faster with Bluetooth connectivity. It provides all the comfort and intelligence that the wearer requires, adding perfection to your style statement. Once the watch settles on your wrist, everything is at the tip of your hands and is the finishing touch to your attire. Though the functions of the watch are sophisticated, the product goes well for constant everyday use, formal or informal. The Lenovo watch 9 Wristband is a plausible creation for horologists (people who collect watches) with is ultimately beautiful and remarkable exterior as well as its interior. It will be the best buy for those who are ready to explore its features and functions and use it as a companion in their daily life.

The shipping and handling was done very fast, 5 stars for that.
Arrived in 2 weeks in Europe.

The watch itself is decent looking, the strap is very smooth, seems a bit fragile but no complaints so far.

Pros :
- nice strap, very soft silicone
- decent aspect
- battery life
- straight forward app
- minimalist
- super lightweight for me at least

Cons :
- comes with Chinese instructions / lack of in-box instructions but you can scan de QR code to install the app which is in english.
- the screen smudges very easily
- vibration notifications are a bit too subtle for me
- no in-screen light notifications, if you don't notice the vibrations you don't know if something happened or not.

If you are looking for a cheap hybrid watch with long battery life and decent built this could be the one for you.
If you are looking for an activity watch, get yourself a bracelet, almost same price and will have more features but not the same battery life thou.
