Third-party reviews

What we like about Kospet Pulse 2

  • Battery lasts about 10 to 15 days with normal use.
  • Dual-band GPS finds satellites quickly and tracks runs accurately.
  • Built-in flashlight has five brightness levels.
  • The bright AMOLED screen is easy to read in full sunlight.
  • Walkie-talkie function links up to four people with compatible Kospet watches.
  • IP69 rating covers showers and swimming.

What we don't like about Kospet Pulse 2

  • Charging takes 120 min.
  • Calls need the paired phone, since the watch has no cellular connection.
  • The always-on display drains the battery quickly.
  • At 50 mm high, the case can feel thick on small wrists.
  • No contactless payment and no music stored on the watch.

Verdict

Camping trips are where the Kospet Pulse 2 makes the most sense. This 1.96 inch AMOLED watch has a built-in LED flashlight with five brightness levels, which is handy when a phone is out of reach. Dual-band GPS finds satellites quickly and records clean tracks. The battery is rated for 15 days, and tests showed about 13 days of mixed use. Charging takes 120 min, so it needs two hours on the charger. It has a walkie-talkie function that links up to four people using compatible Kospet watches. Calls need the paired phone, since the watch has no cellular connection of its own. Its chunky look and lack of contactless payment make it a poor pick for dressy wear. It suits a camper or hiker who wants a bright watch with a flashlight.
