We’ll talk about the No.1 G3, a wearable made of plastic materials that share a lot of features with the Gear S2 from Samsung. This smartwatch comes with a micro SD and micro SIM slot to make and receive calls from our watch thanks to its microphone and its speaker, now if put a heart rate sensor and a low price we have the biggest bargain of the world in front of us.
Design and materials of the No.1 G3
The No.1 G3 obviously shares the same design as the Samsung Gear S2. The clock is completely made from plastic materials, properly supporting the twists of the plastic strap. The only metallic element is located on the back of this incredible wearable. We find the choice in materials very accurate if we were talking about a sports watch, but that’s not the case since it doesn’t count with IP protection against dust or splashes.
Focusing on the design, we have a clock with proportions of 5.10 x 4.30 x 1.30 cm and a weight of 50 g. On the right side, we have two interaction buttons, the upper executes the “back” action and the lower is the On/Off and the return to the dial; we’ll talk about the speaker later on. The left side is left exclusively for the microphone.
As we advance we can see that the back area is kind of overloaded: Heart rate sensor for real-time monitoring, body thermometer, charging port and under the cover there’s a 380 mAh battery as well as two slots, one for the micro SD of up to 16 GB and the other one is the micro SIM slot to realize and receive calls from our smartwatch.
Now we’ll talk about the dial, it has a 1.3 inches IPS panel with a resolution of 240 x 240 pixels. Both indoors and outdoors, the screen can be seen, that’s because the watch has adjustable brightness according to the environment. The smartwatch No.1 G3 is available in 3 colors: Black, Silver and Gold while keeping its plastic material. Its design makes it completely unisex and pretty much for any age. Those who are looking for a simple and casual watch, well look no more, this smartwatch is ideal for you.
Customization and Menu of the smartwatch
Customization
The customization is more present in the No.1 G3 than in any other smartwatch in the market. We start with the ability to change the dial by choosing from 7 different backgrounds. You can also do the same with the menus by choosing from 3 different backgrounds without changing the icons. Where we have really seen an improvement, is the possibility to choose a second menu interface, placing the icons in a circular order just like the Gear S2, if this is confusing for you, you can always choose the interface with displays of 4 icons.
