Mr. Hard Matsumura, how practical is the smart watch "An1" sold in China? We will review what we have obtained locally.

　Accessories included a micro USB cable, a charger, and a spare battery pack . When watching videos or using various apps, an alarm with 15% left will appear after about 3 hours, so spare batteries are very helpful.

　The main unit has a storage capacity of 4GB, but when I try to take pictures or videos, I insert an SD card. If you do, an error will occur.

　Follow the instructions and insert the micro SD. It also has a SIM slot, but unfortunately it only supports GSM. Only WiFi connection is available in Japan.

　I liked how the buttons were arranged in an easy-to-understand manner. Home button and power button on the right side as seen from the front of the display.

　And the left side is micro USB, volume button and back button. In particular, the volume buttons are easy to use, and you can smoothly adjust the volume even while watching videos.

　A speaker and a camera are placed at the top of the display. The point is that the volume is louder than I thought and the camera is attached to the top.

　Here is the actual photo taken. It seems better not to ask for image quality, but it seems to be practical for memos.

　There was no Youtube in the pre-installed apps, so I installed it from the Play Store and took a look. rice field. The viewing angle is narrow, so the neck is that you have to look at it from the front. This is a very bad point.

Confirm LINE startup. If you are in an environment where you can communicate with WiFi, you can also pretend to be a spy.

　Succeeded in launching Pasdora, which Omate's True Smart (related article) could not do... However, since the screen is fixed vertically, it seemed difficult to play while wearing it on the arm.

Surprisingly, the Japanese locale was there from the beginning, so risky will be absent this time. Sorry for all the geeks.

　There is a place where you can buy it online in Japan (external site), where the price is 130 dollars (approximately 13,260 yen). It seems to be one of the items to enjoy GW.
