Third-party reviews

What customers like about Ulefone Watch GPS

  • Exceptional battery life, with some users reporting up to 40-50 days on a single charge
  • Solid build quality featuring a metallic edge and comfortable, soft wrist strap
  • Effective basic health tracking including 24-hour heart rate and sleep monitoring
  • High water resistance (5 ATM) suitable for swimming and daily wear
  • Excellent value for money given its low price point

What customers don't like about Ulefone Watch GPS

  • Unreliable built-in GPS that frequently loses connection or tracks distance inaccurately during outdoor activities
  • Poor screen visibility in direct sunlight due to low display brightness
  • The companion app (VeryFit Pro) is described as basic and lacking advanced features
  • Limited smart features, such as the inability to answer calls directly from the watch
  • Occasional software reliability issues, including reports of device reboots or short-term hardware failure

Verdict

The Ulefone Watch GPS is a lightweight 35g smartwatch featuring a 1.3-inch TFT-LCD square touch display with 240 x 240 resolution and 2.5D curved glass. Key characteristics include its 5 ATM water resistance, built-in high-precision GPS for real-time tracking, and 14 dedicated sports modes. Its primary pros are its impressive 210mAh battery that offers up to 40 days of standby or 7 days of active use, and comprehensive health monitoring including 24/7 heart rate tracking via the HX3600 sensor, sleep analysis, and female health tracking. However, cons include its reliance on an older Bluetooth 4.0/4.2 standard, the lack of built-in Wi-Fi, and the inability to answer phone calls directly from the wrist.
