Mine is very convenient as a watch and phone/email notifier.
The only bit that doesn't work so far is sending pictures from the watch
to the phone. That seems to be a problem with Android 5. I wouldn't want
it as a phone, too awkward to use.

Display almost impossible to see in daylight. As a notifier it's a bit of a
dead loss without a vibrate function. Mine is dead this morning. Won't
charge.

Interesting hardware, probably crap software put together by some
sweatshop factory managers son just to avoid a beating ...

It would be nice if these things were purposely hackable open source.

There is a flourishing market in Raspberry Pi look alikes that are meant
for such fiddling. Why not expand (where safety is not involved) the
fiddling aspect for other 'half manufactured' goods.

An answer that would kill that though is NDA ...

Battery? The reviews were a bit patchy, so either your's works
and you're lucky or you're unlucky! Isn't there a reset function? Mine
is readable in daylight with a bit of shading. However, I did say that I
bought it as a toy and it suits my purposes! I like to be able to read
the time if I wake up at 2.30am as the clock is her side and not visible.

If that isn't the definition of a solution looking for a problem, I
don't know what is.

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

Nope. It's the USB socket that's flaky. If I try a different plug I can
just about get it to charge if I hold it absolutely still in one position,
otherwise zilch.

I'm not complaining about your heads-up though. At the price it was always
going to be a gamble with the odds stacked against it. I've been offered a
refund.

Yes, I've not found the usb problem on the watch, but I have
the same problem with a USB triple output PSU. One socket is touchy. I
am very wary of micro usb connectors, I know they are the solution to
all someones prayers, but I find them sensitive to the plug connecting
them. My new Asus phone doesn't like some connectors and it is a
function of the plug and not the socket IMO. My other phone, also micro
usb has the same symptoms. Her phone uses mini usb, it is socket
sensitive. My unused old phone is also mini usb and that connects to any
plug without problems as do the sat navs.

Tell me if you have a better ploy to get a new toy!

I would climb on top of her and say that "I wanted to know the time"

I agree with the sentiment, but unfortunately the reality is
different.
