Design And Build Quality:

The DW98 Smartwatch features a modern and elegant design that is somewhat similar to the AppleWatch series 6 with slight differences from the IWO PL6 Pro. It’s designed in a square shape with a 2.5D curved screen on the sides, and a rotatable button works to change the watch faces, page-turning, zoom in/out, turn on-off or back, and there another button to go to dialog pad, And just below the button, you’ll find the microphone, addition of holes in the left part, which is the built-in speaker. Overall, The body is slim and light made of high-quality aluminum alloy with 43mm large size and 11mm thickness and lightweight of not more than 25 grams, which makes it comfortable on the wrist. Also, it comes in 5 colors the same as the strap that I will mention shortly.

If you look at below you find made from plastic and has a sensor and without any charging pins because it’s wireless, Although it’s a budget smartwatch, Basically, you will notice the manufacturing quality is high and even the Apple-inspired design is amazing it’s one of the best smartwatches clones for the series 6.

The strap on the DW98 smartwatch is made of silicone, lightweight and comfortable on your wrist for long-lasting use. You can use any 20mm belt because it’s removable and is available in Black, white, pink, red, and blue, and you can buy another from metal or leather separately.

Display Screen:

The screen in DW98 Smartwatch is my favorite type, it’s a large 1.80 inch IPS screen, which makes it the largest among all the smartwatches cloned from the Apple Watch Series 6 reviewed so far. The difference is only 0.05 inches, but you will notice that the chin of the edges is very narrow than before, The glass is 2.5D curved to display better content and details, and because it has a resolution of 360*385 pixels with a high refresh rate. Definitely, it’s one of the best screens in a budget smartwatch in terms of size and resolution, even the sharpness of colors and brightness are so good, especially when you wear them in the sunlight you won’t be alarmed by them.

In fact, the reason to make this type of screen my favorite, because this screen is large and takes over most of the interface, and with narrow sides, and this is only found in smartwatches with higher costs which its contrast to other inexpensive smartwatches that contain a touch screen, which comes in the middle of the screen and has rather wide sides.

Waterproof:

With IP67 waterproof in DW98 Smartwatch, It means you can wear it while washing hands or on rainy days, although the watch is not approved for swimming but is good for wearing for activities, so, I do not recommend swimming or exposing it to hot water or saltwater to avoid any harm Long or short term and with the presence of a speaker and a microphone, avoiding it will be good, however, if it’s exposed to water in any way, I prefer to dry the watch after immersing it in water and before operating it so that it stays with you for as long as possible.
