In their words
“Performance:can last 3day with all sensor heavy workinh Quality:new, no need screen protectors, battery can last 20day with power saver My ⌚️ apple is heal by this alternative, it was accurate at least, nor fake sensor. The apple watch itself since have phone like prosessor (this take up battery's), the price still not genuine for me. That lastes pictures after 1week of use.”

“The watch is very beautiful and easy to use. The only problem is that it is difficult to connect to the phone. It made me really want to swear. Fortunately, I read the comments section of Shopee and found out that I had to switch to the Chinese region to connect successfully. Otherwise, I couldn’t connect after trying for a few days. I thought there was something wrong with the watch🤣🤣”
