Third-party reviews

What customers like about Dizo Watch D Plus

  • Large and bright 1.85-inch display with 550 nits of peak brightness
  • Premium build quality featuring an aluminium frame and curved glass
  • Long battery life, lasting approximately 10 to 14 days on a single charge
  • Highly affordable price point, often cited as excellent value for money
  • Smooth and responsive user interface (UI)
  • Extensive customization with over 150 watch faces available through the app

What customers don't like about Dizo Watch D Plus

  • Inaccurate fitness tracking, particularly regarding step counting and sleep monitoring
  • Lack of a built-in microphone and speaker, meaning users cannot answer calls directly
  • Difficulty reading the display under direct, harsh sunlight despite high brightness
  • No option to reply to messages; notifications can only be viewed or deleted
  • Charging cable quality is perceived as average and could be improved
  • App performance sometimes lacks optimization and may require updates for better functionality

Verdict

The Dizo Watch D Plus is a budget-friendly smartwatch featuring a large 1.85-inch curved LCD display with 550 nits of peak brightness and a 240x280 resolution. Encased in a durable aluminium frame with a 3ATM water resistance rating, it offers over 110 sports modes and a comprehensive health suite including SpO2, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, and sleep tracking. Key advantages include its impressive 14-day battery life from a 300mAh cell and a wide selection of 150+ customisable watch faces. However, it lacks built-in GPS and Bluetooth calling functionality, and users have noted inaccuracies in its step and sleep tracking data.
