The Lenovo HX07 EGO suits first-time fitness-band users with its classic digital look and basics, but its short Bluetooth range and glitchy buttons make it a poor smartwatch.

The Lenovo HX07 EGO is a digital watch with basic fitness tracking, easy to read while jogging, but its weak vibration alarm and short battery hold it back.

Verdict
The Lenovo HX07 EGO is a fitness band, not a smartwatch: it reads well in sunlight and lasts about two weeks, but its app fails to sync sleep data.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Lenovo Ego HX07

  • Impressive battery life, lasting up to 20 days on a single charge
  • Sporty, G-Shock-like design that is lightweight and comfortable on the wrist
  • Electronic monochrome display remains highly visible even in direct sunlight
  • Accurate heart rate monitoring and step tracking for a budget device
  • Water resistance up to 50 metres (5 ATM), suitable for swimming and showers

What customers don't like about Lenovo Ego HX07

  • The 'Lenovo Life' companion app is often described as 'half-baked' and prone to syncing issues
  • Notifications are basic, showing only a generic icon or 'Message' text without sender details
  • Physical buttons feel 'cheap' and sometimes lack clear haptic feedback
  • Proprietary magnetic charger is easily knocked loose, leading to unreliable charging
  • Vibration motor for alerts is reportedly too mild for some users to notice

Verdict

The Lenovo Ego HX07 is a rugged, digital-style smartwatch featuring a 1.6-inch anti-shine reflective monochrome display with a dedicated night light and a weight of 42g. It provides 24/7 heart rate monitoring, scientific sleep tracking, and multi-sport modes including swimming, supported by its 5ATM (50-meter) water resistance. Its primary strengths are an impressive battery life of up to 20 days on a single charge and a durable design reminiscent of classic sports watches. However, it suffers from several drawbacks, including a low-resolution non-touch display, limited smart notification details that only show icons or generic text, and frequent reports of a poorly optimized companion app and unreliable magnetic charging pins.
