Hands-on review · Notification smartwatch
Verdict
The Omate X is a sleek notification watch with a machined aluminum case, suited to people who don't need apps, though its calls are poor.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Omate X

  • Battery life: Exceptional for its class, with users reporting 5 to 7 days on a single charge
  • Design and Build: Premium aluminum housing and a sleek aesthetic that rivals more expensive models
  • Value: Highly affordable entry-point price of approximately $129–$149
  • Comfort: Lightweight and unobtrusive on the wrist
  • Customisation: Supports standard 22mm watch straps and offers multiple custom watch faces

What we don't like about Omate X

  • Display limitations: The screen turns off automatically after a few seconds and requires a physical button press to check the time
  • OS Compatibility: Full functionality is largely limited to Android; iPhone users experience more restricted access
  • Poor Speaker/Mic Quality: Bluetooth calls are often tinny and require the watch to be held very close to the mouth
  • Laggy Performance: Users reported noticeable interface lag due to early software and a frugal MediaTek processor
  • Company Reliability: Significant reports of poor customer service and unfulfilled pre-orders from Omate as a startup

Verdict

The Omate X is a streamlined companion smartwatch featuring a 1.54-inch curved TFT LCD touchscreen with a 240x240 resolution, housed in a slim 11.2mm aluminum casing compatible with standard 22mm straps. Powered by the MediaTek MT2502A Aster chipset with 128MB of RAM, it provides essential smartphone tethering via Bluetooth 4.0 for both Android and iOS, supporting push notifications, hands-free calling through a built-in speaker and microphone, and basic fitness tracking via a 3-axis accelerometer. Its primary advantages include an impressive battery life of up to seven days on a single 400mAh charge and a premium metallic aesthetic at an affordable price point. However, notable drawbacks include a display that does not stay always-on, occasional software lag, and more limited app functionality compared to standalone or fully-featured OS competitors.
