Third-party reviews

What customers like about DOOGEE CS1

  • Excellent battery life, lasting up to 14 days on a single charge
  • Lightweight and comfortable design that is easy to wear all day
  • Highly affordable price point compared to major competitors
  • IP68 waterproof rating suitable for swimming and showering
  • Responsive 1.4-inch HD full touch screen with clear visuals
  • Includes essential health tracking such as real-time heart rate and sleep monitoring

What customers don't like about DOOGEE CS1

  • Step tracking can be inaccurate, sometimes failing to record steps when pushing a pram or trolley
  • The companion app (Dafit/Glory Fit) is described as unintuitive and basic
  • Lack of advanced sensors such as GPS, blood oxygen (SpO2), and NFC
  • Notifications are limited to reading messages; cannot reply or answer calls
  • Some users reported skin irritation or itching from the TPU wristband
  • Firmware and software bugs, such as 'Find My Phone' staying active after use

Verdict

The DOOGEE CS1 is a lightweight, square-faced smartwatch featuring a 1.4-inch IPS color touch display with a 240x240 resolution (~242 ppi). It is built with a metal bezel and plastic case, offering IP68 water resistance suitable for swimming and outdoor use. Key hardware includes a 200mAh battery providing up to 14 days of life, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity via a Nordic52832 chip, and an integrated heart rate sensor. Main pros include its slim 8.9mm profile, long battery endurance, and support for 12 sport modes alongside real-time sleep and heart rate monitoring. However, it lacks built-in GPS, does not support blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, and cannot be used to answer calls directly due to the absence of a speaker and microphone.
