  • Effective Bluetooth calling functionality with decent speaker and mic quality

  • Limited variety of watch faces available in the companion application
  • Occasional connectivity issues with the mobile app and syncing data
  • Wrist sensor for the 'raise to wake' feature can be slow or unresponsive at times

Verdict

The Noise ColorFit Cadet is a rugged, military-style smartwatch featuring a vibrant 1.78-inch Always-on AMOLED display with 368 x 448 resolution and 600 nits peak brightness. Encased in a three-layer metal body with IP68 water resistance, it offers Bluetooth calling via TruSync technology, 120+ sports modes, and a comprehensive health suite including SpO2, 24/7 heart rate, and sleep tracking. Main pros include its durable build, high-quality display, and a functional rotating crown for navigation; however, it lacks built-in GPS, and some users report faster battery drain when using the Always-on Display or occasional delays in the 'raise to wake' functionality.
