Third-party reviews

What we like about Maxima Max Pro X4

  • Premium aesthetics with a high-density ABS casing and a sleek, lightweight design
  • Vibrant 1.3-inch TFT IPS round display with 380 nits brightness for daylight visibility
  • Strong battery life, with many users reporting up to 12-15 days on a single charge
  • IP68 dust and water resistance, making it suitable for basic swimming and outdoor use
  • Good value for money at its budget price point, offering SpO2 and heart rate monitoring
  • Fast and easy connectivity with both Android and iOS devices using the Coolwear app

What we don't like about Maxima Max Pro X4

  • Inaccurate health sensors, specifically regarding heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), and step counting
  • Frequent sync issues with the Coolwear app, including data loss and call notification failures
  • Durability concerns, such as reported scratches on the back sensor and broken strap pin holders
  • Lack of 'Always-On Display' (AOD) on the standard X4 model, requiring a button press or wrist flick to see the time
  • Inconsistent quality control, with some users receiving faulty units or previously used products with scratches
  • Poor customer service and long repair turnaround times reported for warranty claims

Verdict

The Maxima Max Pro X4 is a budget-friendly smartwatch featuring a 1.3-inch TFT IPS round active display with a peak brightness of 380 nits and a lightweight 42g high-density ABS casing. Powered by the Realtek RTL8762CK chipset, it offers comprehensive health tracking including SpO2 monitoring via an LC11 sensor, continuous heart rate detection, and 10 sports modes. Key pros include its IP68 water resistance rating, diverse selection of over 100 customizable watch faces, and an impressive battery life of up to 15 days on a single charge. However, notable cons include reports of inconsistent step counting accuracy, occasional app connectivity glitches, and the lack of an always-on display.
