So... this thing is surprisingly good. Especially for the price.
I got this on a "how bad can it be?" whim. Turns out that it does exactly what it says on both iphone and android. You have to download an app to get full function on android, but it's simple. Updated firmware is a web search away. Not too shabby. It's no galaxy gear 2, but then again it works with the three phone I tried. iPhone 5, kitkat version of a note 3 and a galaxy 4 all working as advertised.
The only weirdness is pairing up an iphone and suddenly having music come out of your wrist (simply set sound output back to phone or earpiece btw, but it scared the hell outta me the first time my phone rang)
The watch itself is metal and pretty good quality, but I replaced the admittedly low rent band. For the record, The U8 takes any 22mm flat end band. I had to measure it with calipers as this in not documented. Anywhere. You're welcome.
Long story short, this is well worth the price. It's no iwatch, no galaxy gear, but it's also half the price and does a great job doing its thing. Nice!
