What we don't like about Imilab W01

  • Step counter and heart rate tracking can be less accurate compared to premium brands.
  • Lacks a built-in microphone and speaker, so it cannot be used for Bluetooth calls.
  • No built-in GPS, requiring a tethered smartphone for route tracking.
  • The accompanying GloryFit app can be unintuitive and may contain ads.
  • Some users reported rare software bugs, such as screen backlight issues or occasional freezes.
  • Sleep tracking is basic and may not accurately detect when the user is awake during the night.

Verdict

The Imilab W01 is a budget-friendly fitness smartwatch featuring a 1.69-inch square TFT touch display with a 240x280 resolution, housed in a lightweight 38g body. It offers comprehensive health tracking including 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO2 blood oxygen levels, sleep analysis, and a specialized female health tracker. Key pros include a robust 220mAh battery providing up to 15 days of use, 3ATM water resistance suitable for swimming, and support for over 70 sports modes. However, main cons include its plastic build quality, lack of built-in GPS (relying on a smartphone), and the absence of a microphone or speaker for direct Bluetooth calling.
