 Hey what's up guys welcome back to Trending Reviews, so today with everyone doing exercise outside of their homes and a lot of people going running there's something that's quite missing a lot of people don't have smartwatches to track their activity and they're running and all of their exercises so today I'm going to be reviewing this brand new smartwatch that I received from a company called Run Doing it is the NY-16 version of the smartwatch range that they do so I'm going to give you a unboxing and showcase the specs and the capabilities of this nice little smartwatch it does resemble a little bit like the Apple watch but it's so much cheaper and the battery life is amazing so let's just get straight into it okay let's go ahead and take a look inside the box so as you can see there is the watch itself and this is the nice soft silicone strap let me go ahead and pull this one out inside the rest of the box just quickly show you you have the user guide and you have the USB charger there with a nice little case that sits on and then you also have a screen protector as well so you can put this on both the back and the front of the screen of the watch so that's everything that comes in it let's go ahead and set this up just to show you the capabilities so first things first let's go ahead and put on the strap there we go let's just peel this off and let's turn this on there you go it's powering on you get a nice vibration and then there you have the main watch face there you have some activity stats there for your footsteps and your calories burned that chart in the middle is just part of the face it's not actually any metrics you can actually cycle through the different watch faces so if you scroll down you can see various different ones here as well so depending on which one that you'd like to use you have the analog and digital versions there this one I guess is the main one which shows you most stats so you can keep this one if you'd like now if we swipe to the right you can see this is the step count it shows you how many calories and how many steps you've done today if you cycle through this is your sleep pattern this is the power button to turn it off and if you are going to pair this with your phone in bluetooth then this is the settings that you'll see to pair it now as you can see the timeout of the screen is pretty quick so what you can do is you can go into settings and then you can change the screen lock up length right now set to five seconds I will change it to about 15 seconds and then click back now this comes with 10 different modes so you've got things like the walking running treadmill bike even the elliptical machines and rowing machine and and many more so you can find them under sport you can see they've all listed here so whichever one you want to do it's pretty good that it will cover the majority of your cardio exercises now if you go back press the button again it takes you back to the home screen so you'll have to go back again now to go back you keep scrolling up and you'll go to the previous page it's pretty cool feature to find your phone as well which is quite common these days if you do lose your phone then you can select that and once you've paired it with your bluetooth then this will obviously help you locate that let's go back again you also have your heart rate monitor I haven't got it on my wrist yet but you can actually calculate your heart rate if you do blood pressure you can also check your blood pressure there as well which is pretty convenient to have if you scroll up you also have the most common types of apps as well you have a stopwatch a countdown and you have information here which is basically any alerts that you get from your phone once you've paired it with bluetooth and if you've set up the app as a female then you can monitor your female cycles on a monthly basis through the app here as well you also have a music app there so if you set it up with your phone then you can set it to use either any type of music app most likely it'll be Spotify and it'll work just fine there if you go into settings you can change things like the information setting as well so where you want to receive your notifications like phone calls this is quite tailored to the Chinese market so you have things like WeChat and QQ but you can also have the most common social media apps as well I will turn on WhatsApp maybe I want to get notifications for Twitter as well so maybe I can turn that on as well and as you can see there's Instagram there as well so the primary ones that you probably use will be there and to be honest I'd like to use Gmail as well so for me that's pretty convenient swipe back brightness control it can go pretty bright and I'll show you how bright it is and if you can still see it in broad daylight when the sun is shining so we'll take a look at that in a second and then you also have the on off setting there as well so if you want to use this to turn on your clock reminders or any other sedentary reminders as well and then you can do that the other thing is like most watches you can turn your wrist for turning the screen on as well which is pretty convenient to have and then all of the other ones there just to be listed as different various settings now the watch face itself is pretty smooth it feels a bit like an Apple watch it's a little bit lighter than the Apple watch itself and the one thing I really like about this is that it has a very large battery life so it is seven days and if you keep it on standby it can go up to 30 days as well it takes about two hours to charge fully which I think is an awesome amount of time so let me go ahead and put this on my wrist now the watch itself is IP68 waterproof as well which means if you do go swimming with this then it will work absolutely fine so you can keep the watch on there in that scenario as well so as you can see I'll turn it off there but when I turn my wrist to my face it turns on and it's just like most of the main watches on the market today it does a great job doing that so those are the primary features and I think it's so comfortable the silicone strap is very comfortable to wear right so the last step is to connect this via Bluetooth so you can use all of the features it's an app called H-Band so if you download that it's compatible with both iOS and Android so if you have an iPhone this should be fine so let's go ahead and set this up you do have to create an account so I've just signed up for one it's now logging in it asks you to select a skin color type of yourself so I'm just going to pick that one go through the various steps adding your personal information right so now I'm going to go through the steps to connect it and as you can see their top NY16 is the model number so I will select that just need to wait for it to connect click yes there we go it's pretty much ready to go so now what I'm going to do is basically go for a walk and grab some groceries come back just to see how the app has populated now if you do go for a run this can also track the route that you've taken and see that visible on a map much like most of the common running apps nowadays so what I'm going to do now is go for a walk to the local grocery store grab some groceries come back and show you how this has populated all right guys so just came back from the grocery store and as you can see here I've now done 2431 steps and my heart rate is at 85 bpm so it does a pretty good job and I can see that outdoors when I was just checking this in the broad daylight it's a little bit hard to sometimes see the screen especially when it's very sunny because the brightness level is not as good as the high definition resolution screens you get on things like the galaxy watch or the apple watch but for the price you pay on this it does a fantastic job now just to show you a little bit about the stats I'm going to go ahead and open up the app to see what types of things it has allowed me to monitor right so as you can see there 2400 at the top you can see the stats for today now I haven't done any sleep or blood pressure checks at the moment now there's an icon there on the top right hand side next to the share button if you click on that this can show you a history of your total stats over a weekly period a monthly or a yearly period as well which I think is pretty good so you can see your progress over time and then if you click on the more item right there next to the battery life there in the middle you can see a couple of options there they have a settings option there that you can go in from here you'll have to set the permissions of your phone to allow message notifications to come to the smartwatch so I've enabled this through my android phone and now I can get text messages so here you can also turn on notifications for various different things if you scroll down there's plenty of settings and here is where you can take photos as well so if you go to take a photo I can actually put my phone to the side somewhere let me switch the camera around and then I'll take photo there you go pretty instant does a great job now if I go back so plenty of options to play around with now just to show you how it's like to get a text message alert on your watch I will send a quick text message to my sister and see how it appears on the watch all right so I've just sent her a message to say hi how are you there you go you can see I'm great thanks how are you so that pops up and you see the notification straight away there's no way to really hide the preview before it pops up but that's not a big issue from me if you do miss it you can go back into the information app there and you can see all of your recent notifications that you've received so I've received one from gmail and that text message one and you only have the option to clear it so if I select that I can read all of the full message so that's pretty much a basic functionality but it does the job it's kind of like a Fitbit as well it gives you the basic functionality you need for a smartwatch and it gives you a wide variety of apps to be notified by and almost all of the most common social media apps as well so for me that does a great job now the final step is to show you how I would receive phone calls and what would appear on the screen so I've just asked my sister to give me a call there you go you can see there's an incoming call now you don't have an option to answer it here because this doesn't have an in-built microphone but you can mute it the watch is vibrating or you can hang up there so I can just hang up the call by pressing that and it'll tell you you've hung up so all the common functionality you need from a smartwatch and I think it's done a great job and I will be wearing this going forward especially going from my run and tracking my fitness activities alright guys so hopefully that review is quite useful for you I think it's done a great job so far it's hit my expectations from a watch of this price range it does come roughly around $50 depending on which country you're purchasing it from so I will leave all of the links in the description below of where you can buy this on Amazon from both the US and the UK markets and any other links that are relevant for purchasing this awesome little watch so seven days battery life probably one of the best and longest battery lives you have it's a very good competitor there's something like a Fitbit not so much like an Apple watch or a Galaxy watch but nonetheless it's pretty convenient it's a great gift to gift to people as well so I'm pretty happy and if there's anything else you want to know then drop a
