Design And Build Quality

The HW23 Pro Smartwatch features a modern and elegant design that is somewhat similar to the Apple Watch Series 6 with slight differences from the W506 Smartwatch. It’s designed in a square shape with a 2.5D curved screen on the sides, and a rotatable button works for change watch faces, page-turning, zoom in/out, and there is another button to turn on-off or back, 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 44mm large size and 12.8mm thickness and lightweight of not more than 50g, which makes it comfortable on the wrist. Also, it comes in 4 colors the same as the strap that I will mention shortly. Although it’s a budget smartwatch, you will notice the manufacturing quality is high and even the new Apple-inspired design is amazing it’s one of the best smartwatches clones for the series 6.

If you look at it below you find made from plastic and has a sensor and charging pins.

Display Screen

The screen in HW23 Pro Smartwatch is my favorite type, it’s a large 1.78 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 0.03 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 320*380 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.

hw23-pro-smartwatch-review

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. This is in contrast to other inexpensive smartwatches that contain a touch screen, which comes in the middle of the screen and has rather wide sides.

HW23 Pro Watch faces

In terms of Watch faces, HW23 Pro Smartwatch has many different pre-installed watch faces, you can switch between them easily in many ways, by the rotatable button or via the Lefun Wear app for over 50 online watch faces are available for download with customization capabilities for a variety of colors, retro, analog, 3D, and digital faces or you can even use live wallpaper or your own photos as a watch face background or any wallpaper.

HW23 Pro Waterproof

With IP68 waterproof in HW23 Pro 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.
